My Sweet Boy ~ Grapevine Texas Child Photographer

Well the weather FINALLY cooled down so we headed out on Labor Day to take Beckett's one year old pictures. He's at such a fun age and I feel like I really captured "him" in these pictures. Isn't he just the cutest thing ever? I just love those chubby cheeks, big lips, and toothy grin :)

Holiday Mini Sessions ~ Coppell Texas Child & Family Photographer

Holiday Mini Sessions are back and better than ever! These are perfect for an updated picture for your Christmas card and I have LOTS of Holiday cards to choose from this year. I'm so excited for them all. I'll be posting some next week. So check back :)

This year there are two package options to choose from so there's something for everyone. Check out the details below, choose your date and your package and call or email me to schedule your appointment today.

If a mini session isn't what you're looking for I would love to discuss a full session with you. I've revamped my sessions and I'm so excited to now offer Session Premiers to my clients! The Session Premiers are amazing. One to two weeks after your session I'll come to your home with the dessert of your choice and together we'll view a custom slideshow of images from your session. I'm very excited to offer this new feature for my clients!

I'm moving at the beginning of December so make sure you schedule your session soon so you can get your images and order before I leave. Call of email me for session availability.

It's That Time of Year Again! ~ Dallas Fort Worth Child and Family Photographer

Yep, that's right! It's time to start thinking about family pictures once again :) I know it's hard to think about scheduling family pictures when it doesn't feel like fall will EVER get here (seriously, can't we please at least dip down into the 90's sometime soon?) but if you're anything like me the holidays always come WAY too fast and then I'm scrambling to get my Christmas cards out in addition to all the other stuff I have to do.

So book now and save yourself from the headache of last minute family pictures and Christmas cards. I promise you'll thank me when December comes and you don't have to worry about family pictures or Christmas cards because you had your session early!

As an added incentive, if you book a full session during the month of September, you'll receive a set of 15 custom designed folded press printed gift tags with your Christmas card order!

Happy 4th! ~ Coppell Texas Child and Family Photographer

I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July! We all know how long weekends confuse me to no end :) But I'll be back on Thursday with a session I did last month.

Right Now ~ Irving Texas Child and Family Photographer

I took these pictures for another one of my workshop assignments. We were supposed to interact more with our subjects and not worry so much about technical perfection.

A lot of these I took while holding the camera at about my waist and not looking through the viewfinder at all. I love the pictures I got. They're obviously not perfect, but they show my boys as they are right now. And that, to me, is priceless!

Booking Update ~ Northern Utah Child and Family Photographer

Hey all! I just wanted to let everyone know that I only have 2 sessions remaining while I'm in Utah next month. I've had a few people contact me about information or mention pictures in passing and I just want to make sure everyone that wants a session gets scheduled. So if you are interested in one of the sessions PLEASE email, text or call me to book ASAP.

We have a lot going on with a wedding, missionary homecoming and trying to squeeze in all the family activities. In order to make the most of our time, as keep things as stress free as possible, I will not be taking any sessions that haven't been scheduled prior to our trip. Even family, if you want a session while I'm there, please let me know now.

And if you just want to get together and hang out while we're in town let me know! I'm so excited to see everyone :)

Happy Friday! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Packaging ~ Dallas Fort Worth Texas Newborn and Family Photographer

I delivered an order to a client the other day and thought I would snap a few pictures of my packaging. There are a few things that I'm still going to tweak, but I always love seeing pictures of what others are doing for packaging so I thought I would post these pictures.

Who wouldn't love to receive pictures and freshly baked cookies? I know I would!

Rain ~ Dallas Fort Worth Texas Child and Family Photographer

I'm taking an online lighting workshop and one of our assignments was to take some pictures right before or after the rain. I was really happy with how mine turned out and Cohen had the best time jumping in the puddles! He was so surprised that I was actually letting him jump in them. It took him a couple minutes but he really got into it :) I love his facial expression in the first one.

A Fun Evening ~ Irving Texas Child and Family Photographer

I love, love, LOVE this family! I know I say this every time, but seriously aren't they just gorgeous?

We had a hard time choosing a location. They had so many great ideas, but none of them really worked out for one reason or another. These canals are just a block or so away from where they live and they go for family walks there all the time. I love that they were able to incorporate a little part of their daily life into our session. I think it makes these pictures so much more special.

I had such a great time with these guys. Lindsey is the nicest, most friendly person ever. She's one of those people who is friends with everyone. She also has amazing style. I was seriously in awe over her living room. If I weren't moving at the end of the year I would hire her to decorate my apartment. Dan is hilarious. I honestly felt like I laughed our entire session. He also writes for SideDish Magazine and a great food blog all while attending medical school. Talk about busy! But if you want to know where to eat in Dallas, he's your man.

And don't they just have the cutest little man ever? Those eyes just make me melt!

Happy ~ Dallas Fort Worth Child and Family Photographer

Here's another of my bluebonnet sessions. I had such a great time with this family! They are just so happy. And aren't they just gorgeous? I get some amazing families.

I loved that they had Grandma join us at the end. She almost didn't make it! The location that we were shooting at was little out of the way and hard to find and she ended up getting there just a few minutes before the sun was gone. Luckily there was a few minutes of light left and it was absolutely breathtaking. She was giving this session to her daughter as a birthday gift. What a great idea! I really don't know any gift that is as personal or lasts longer than capturing these special moments in a family's life.

My Boys ~ Irving Texas Child and Family Photographer

This is the first year I've taken pictures of my boys in the bluebonnets. I realized that this will most likely be our last bluebonnet season here in Texas and I really wanted to have some bluebonnet pictures to remember our time in Texas.

We went out one morning with my friend Erin (who writes an amazing blog) and her two cute girls, but it was overcast and the light was just dull and ugly but I was determined to get some good pictures so I dressed the boys up in their Easter shirts again a few evenings later and went out again. This time we were able to get some really good shots!

It makes me a little sad though because I am just loving the bluebonnet pictures this year and I keep catching myself thinking about next years' bluebonnets and I have to stop and remind myself that I won't be around for next years' bluebonnets.

Utah, here we come! Northern Utah Child and Family Photographer

I just booked my tickets to Utah for my brother's wedding in July! I'm SO excited :) I'm going to be there for a couple weeks and will have some time available for sessions. If you're interested in booking call, text or email me.
