Every Picture Tells a Story
{Baby E} Rainbow Baby Session
We love this family, and I love the theme of this cute session. This mama has been through a lot, and has a lot to show for it. After six beautiful boys, she had a baby girl, and a rainbow baby. This baby was such an answer to prayers and she wanted to incorporate that into the session.
It was fun working with her boys, and also a little crazy, as they all wanted to look in different directions, but in the end we were able to capture the portraits and her theme.
This baby girl is so loved and will never lack for attention and protection. Thanks so much for allowing us to capture this special time Danielle.

Springtime in Texas
Oh how I LOVE springtime in Texas.
Everything is so green!
The Texas tradition of taking portraits with bluebonnets is especially fun!
If you have been thinking about updating your family portraits (or even having professionally printed portraits for the first time), spring in Texas is an excellent time to do it!

Preschool Portraits
With spring portraits right around the corner, I was reminiscing about the fall portraits we did for a local preschool last year.
Preschool portraits are a different experience than family portraits. There is a little less time to help children warm up to you and the camera.
However, this is why working with a small in-home preschool was a great experience. The teacher's relationship with her students really helped them warm up to us quickly and get those classic memorable images that parent's love.
I really love this age. Smiles are so genuine and personalities shine through.
I am looking forward to our next session.

Fathers and Daughters
We recently had a chance to photograph the daddy daughter dance for a local school. Events like this are always a whirlwind, but so much fun.
Since we are expecting our first baby girl, it got me thinking about the special relationship between fathers and their daughters. Seeing all these men make time for these beautiful little girls is inspiring.
One of the best parts of attending these dances as an observer is noticing how much these daughters rely on and look up to their dads.
This bond is accomplished over much more than a one-a-year dance, but having the chance to dress up and celebrate it is so much fun!
Thanks to all the great Fathers and Father-figures out there. You really make a difference.

Milestone Portraits
With my baby turning two I've been reminiscing about how fast kids grow up!
My little Asher is now a two-year-old. I am forever grateful for the means we have to document my children's lives.
We need to take pictures, because someday, they are all we have left of our memories. They can help us see how far we've come and be grateful for the times we have had.
I am especially fond of birthday pictures: catching a moment and hanging onto it in a formal way each year.
Here are some of my milestones of my sweet baby.
Newborn
Six-Months-Old
One-Year-Old
Eighteen-Months-Old
And now TWO-YEARS-OLD!!!!
There's something so special about these portraits and being able to see them side by side. These are also the portraits I print and hang ALL over my home. A snapshot, a moment, immortalized as art to look at every day. It's pretty magical.
So take those pictures, and for those special moments hire that photographer! You will only think about the cost of that special wall-art once, but you will cherish those memories forever!
