Sweet Baby "C" is ONE! {Dallas Child Photographer}

I had the pleasure of photographing this sweet, precious baby girl a few weeks ago.  She is turning one and is such a sweetheart!  We did a family session and then also a cake smash session.  The family pictures turned out great!  Sweet Baby "C" was a trooper considering that it was pretty windy/chilly on the day of the family session (of course - since it was 75 the whole week before).  I love love love this age.  I love that everything is SO exciting!  I love that they love to clap, smile, and are discovering things.  Such a fun age!  Thanks "P" family for 2 great sessions with your precious baby girl!

Baby "J" {Dallas Newborn Photographer}

I had the opportunity to photograph this precious baby boy last week.  He is slightly older than the typical newborn session, but he was precious all the same.  Since he was 6 weeks old (as oppose to the typical 7-10 days), Mom, Grandma, and I had to be creative to get this sweet boy to sleep.  Luckily, Grandma is the baby whisperer and was able to get him to sleep.  Baby "J" has the most beautiful eye lashes I've ever seen on a baby.  Seriously - they are amazing.  Enjoy!

"K" Family {Coppell Family Photographer}

I have known this sweet family before they were a family!  The Dad was actually my youth minister "way back when".  I remember the first time he brought his beautiful wife to bible study and I remember going to see their kiddos before I went off to college.  12 years later and they are a beautiful family of 7 (plus two dogs).  I had so much fun exploring a new photo spot with this family.  I do have to say that I left the session feeling very confident as I was able to capture 5 children, 2 adults, and 2 dogs!  We truly had fun and I love how their images turned out.  Thanks "K" family for such a great afternoon!

The "Baby" Girl - such a sweetheart.  Literally - this picture makes me melt

Having fun with Mom and Dad as the sun was setting - perfection!

Aren't they a good looking group of kids?

The Mom emailed me how this image makes her think of the saying "All because two people fell in love".  I couldn't agree more!

Cousins {Frisco Family Photographer}

Remember this sweet little girl?  I had the chance to photograph her with her cousins right after Christmas.  Their family is literally spread out across the country, so getting everyone together for a photo session was really special.  I'm always honored when I get to capture family moments like this.  They were all so sweet and we even captured a few of Grandma with her Grandbabies.  Thanks for such a fun afternoon!  I hope you enjoy this sneak peek!

He's a natural!

 Just the boys

 Love this one.  Little one was pointing at his favorite toy

 So sweet

What a great way to end 2011! {Coppell Newborn Photographer}

I had the HONOR of photographing this precious baby girl on December 31!  She was born a few days before Christmas and we sneaked in a session on New Years Eve.  I can't say this enough - I love my job.  I was more than happy to work on New Years.  I mean - do you see how cute she is?!?  Who wouldn't love the opportunity to photograph such a sweet 8 day old baby girl.  I have to say that she was the easiest newborn session I've ever had.  She slept the entire time, so we just kept changing up the poses/hats and getting more shots.  Thank you to Baby "E" and her amazing parents for asking me to capture such a precious time in your lives.  I can't wait to see "E" grow up!

 Just to prove how great baby E was...I had just said to Mom - "I think I have everything we wanted...except for a great smile".  Not 3 seconds later "E" just started smiling in her sleep.  PERFECTION!
