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!

"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

Neglected Blog - "D" Family {Grapevine Family Photographer}

Well - It's the CRAZIEST time of year!  Most photographers I know are up at all hours of the night editing, creating Christmas Cards, and squeezing in family sessions for Christmas.  I have been shooting and editing non-stop since mid October...and thus - I have neglected my blog!  I plan on uploading tons of images after the holidays (and after my clients give the prints to family for Christmas)...but for now - I thought I'd upload a recent session sneak peek.

I had the opportunity to photograph 3 generations of the "D" family on Thanksgiving Day.  Yep - that's how busy things have been - Thanksgiving Day.  Grandma and Grandpa D were in town to visit the grandbabies (and their boys) and we took the chance to get some family photos.  I had so much fun with this family.  They were all so natural and I had fun playing around Grapevine.  Best part about shooting on Thanksgiving Day - Grapevine Main Street was EMPTY!  Awesome!  We even got some in the middle of the street.  Thanks D family for a great morning!!!  I had a hard time just picking a few sneak peek images...they were all so great!

Proud Grandparents!  Grandpa made the cradle by hand!  AMAZING

 Such a good looking family!

 Genuine. Laughter. Greatness.

Baby Longhorn {Dallas Newborn Photographer}

Remember this sweet family?  Well - they were blessed with the birth of their baby boy!  He is absolutely precious and such a good/sweet lil baby model.  They have the most beautiful house and I had fun using their house as the backdrop for the majority of images.  Don't you just love the black and white checkerboard floor?!?  I do!  

This has been the summer of baby boys!  This is the 4th baby boy in a row.  I'm kind of going through pink/bow withdrawal.  Luckily I have a few clients having girls this month!  Bring on the tutus!

Thanks O Family for a great day yesterday!  Enjoy snuggling your big guy!

Baby P is 8 months old! {Coppell Infant Photographer}

I met up with the "S" family over the weekend.  They were troopers considering it ended up being over 100 degrees that day.  Baby "P" is 8 months old and this is my favorite age.  I love that their lil personalities are starting to shine.  P had to warm up to the idea of having his picture taken.  We got some great shots of his serious face and happy face.  I love all of his rolls...I mean seriously?  Could he get any cuter?

Love love love this one.  

The hat is actually my Dad's hat from when he was a lil boy in the 50's.

Check out his eye lashes!

Sweet Sisters {Coppell Child Photographer}

Remember this sweet family?  I had so much fun seeing how much sweet baby A has grown.  She is like a little cherub...she has the best little rolls!  We had fun coaxing smiles out of her.  Big sister was a big help getting A to look her way.  Thanks G Family for letting me capture some more precious moments of your beautiful girls!  

She has the prettiest blue eyes!

Love this one as you can see all of her perfect arm rolls and beautiful eye lashes

Big Sister is ready for her close-up now

Baby Madie is One! {Coppell Child Photographer}

Sweet Baby Madie turned one a few weeks ago and her parents asked me to do her Cake Smash Session as well as her one year pictures.  Yes - we ventured out in this heat to capture some precious pictures of my beautiful niece.  She did great and loved it.  She is in the phase where she likes to explore and we had to try to keep all of the dirt, leaves, sticks, and rocks out of her mouth!  She loves to clap and smile and is quite possibly the happiest baby I've ever photographed.  

Her Mom had a great idea - they ordered a bunch of 4x6 prints from the cake smash session and one year session and used them as party favors at her birthday party!  Very cute!

 This one is my favorite!

Baby "J" {McKinney Newborn Photographer}

Meet sweet Baby "J"!  Let me just tell you - he was the BEST lil model!  He seriously slept the entire time.  He didn't have an accident out of his diaper...not once!  That is rare...normally the parents, me, my camera, and/or the blankets get soaked atleast once during a session.  Since I love to photograph babies in their "birthday suits" this is a risk that we run....not this sweetheart.  He was SO GOOD!  

I had so much fun with this new family of three.  We had lots of laughs and "oohs and ahhs" over their sweet baby.  We even ventured outside for a few quick shots.  This is an amazing feat in itself considering it was 106 degrees that day.  The baby loved it, and fell right asleep!  

Thank you for blessing me with the opportunity to photograph such a special time in your lives!  I look forward to seeing him grow up!

His nursery is airplane themed, so luckily I have an aviator hat!

 Found some perfect shade outside.  I love when a family is willing to venture outside...even if it's 106

 How perfect is this sweet guy?!?

It's a Boy! {Grapevine Newborn Photographer}

Meet Jacob!  Jacob is six days old and was the best lil model.  I had so much fun getting to hang out with Jacob and his parents.  I have been friends with Jacob's parents for over five years.  My husband and I were both in their wedding and they are some of our closest friends.  I have some great memories with those two and today was filled with lots of laughs and "oohs and aahs" over Jacob.  Jacob is lucky as he is blessed with two awesome folks as his parents (Dad didn't fuss too much about you peeing and pooping ALL over him...I got a good laugh out of it too!)  ;)

Love you guys!  Thanks for letting me capture these sweet moments of your precious baby boy!

And of course I had to get some of their "first" born...isn't she cute?  She was definitely loving the camera.
