Ft. Worth Baby Photographer | Jude

March 31, 2015

I can’t believe that Mr. J is celebrating his first birthday this week! It seems he was just in here for his newborn photographs and now we are already at cake smash time. I loved having the opportunity to photograph this little guy through his first year–in fact, I did his mother’s maternity photos before he was even born. This guy started walking about 10 months, so he was already running all around the studio and we had to do some serious wrangling to get a few non-cake smash images of him. Then the cake came out and he showed some interest in that 🙂 Hopefully his intro to cake in the studio last weekend will make him brave to try out his cake at his party next week. Enjoy the preview! And here’s a look back at the past year with Mr. J:

This family did a great job with their photos the other day. I love some of the ones of the sisters together–getting sibling photos can be so difficult! Someone hugs too hard, someone’s smiley and someone’s grumpy…but these girls rocked it! Loved their outfits as well. Plus, it is about a month away from Miss L’s 1st birthday, so she got a few extra special pictures to commemorate that occasion.

Family photos were done at the Grapevine Botanical Gardens. Enjoy the sneak peek:

Trophy Club Child Photographer |Simply Sparkle Preview

November 19, 2014

I am so excited to share previews from the Simply Sparkle sessions last weekend. It was a busy day, yet my amazing clients made it feel like a piece of cake. You guys (or rather your kiddos) rocked these sessions. I also enjoyed getting to meet many new faces during this set of mini’s.

It was ridiculously cold outside for these Simply Sparkle mini’s–in fact, I believe it actually ended up snowing the next day which is super odd for a November in Dallas/Fort Worth. So glad that this year I had the Christmas mini setup in my residential studio in Roanoke. I’m pretty sure there wouldn’t have been the same level of smiles if we’d been powering through the frosty air.

I also loved the simplicity of this setup–it really did end up showing off the kids and their best features (their happy holiday faces). Enjoy the sneak peek:

Trophy Club Children’s Photographer |Beckwith Family

September 11, 2014

Mr. A & his sister Miss M were total troopers for their photo shoot yesterday. The first half of our shoot started in some gorgeous Christmas garb, but I’m holding back from posting any of those as sneak peeks so Mom can keep the unveiling for Christmas cards later in the year. I don’t know a lot of little boys that love being up at 8 am wearing a tie, but Mr. A rocked it and went above that offering up silly antics and faces to help get his little sister to smile. Like I said though–got to keep those a secret until Mom is ready to share.

After some Christmas photos, the kids changed into more casual clothes and we captured some beautiful end of summer shots with perfect morning light. It was great having Mr. A as a big brother helper–made my job so much easier and you can see how Miss M just lights up around her brother. Mr. A also got some solo shots on his own…and only had a little bit of reluctance about getting his photo taken–what boy doesn’t?

Trophy Club Family Photographer |Parker Beach Trip 2014

July 23, 2014

I can’t resist sharing some photos from our recent family vacation to Orange Beach. We had a lovely time traveling with our good friends and their little boy, who is 1 1/2.

This was also a great chance for me to try out my latest lens acquisition–a Sigma 8-15mm f/2 fisheye! I took both my pro camera and my backup Rebel, but I ended up shooting almost exclusively on my Rebel just because I would hate to get sand in my pro equipment. So, the fisheye lens effect is significantly lessened on my Rebel/crop frame (excuse the technical jargon, but’s it’s for my photog friends out there). I know my images would have had that gorgeous fisheye effect with my usual camera, but again, in the end I just couldn’t stomach potentially damaging my top notch equipment. Anyway, here’s what a true fisheye effect looks like:

I was still pretty pleased with the results, but I really missed having my pro camera in the post-sunset hours. My Rebel just couldn’t get the job done with that low-lighting situation. Thankfully though, we had LOTS of sunshine during our trip to the beach and I was even able to get the settings together for my husband to take some photos of me and my son. That’s a tough job, because even if I get the settings right the hubs still has to get the focal point correct, and frame the scene how I want. We get in regular battles over this, but I would like to applaud him for his improvements over the past year. He’s learning 🙂

We spent the majority of our days playing at the beach, swimming in the pool and hanging out at the condo splash park. Holden really loved having the waves crash at his feet, and he loved making “sand soup”–a mixture of water, sand and seashells. We had a few activities outside the ocean, including a Nature Center, the Gulf Shores pier, lots of restaurants, a BIG splash park, bumper boats, go-karts and the zoo.

Now, on to the photos!

I can never resist taking photos of these curls!!

What is it about boys and rocks? I swear he found the one rock on the beach to throw.

Trophy Club Child Photographer |A Tale of Two Brothers

June 24, 2014

I met these two brothers last weekend for a photo shoot primarily of Big Brother (Mr. A) to commemorate his recent birthday–but of course anytime you can get two young boys to dress up, then that’s an occasion to get some sibling photos in as well!

Both boys were just incredibly sweet and well behaved. It may have helped that we had grandparents and mom and dad present to keep everyone in line, but in all honesty these two little guys were pretty much angels through an entire hour. That’s a tall order for a 6 and 2 year old.

During sibling photos, Mr. A was precious with his younger bro. He would give him kisses, hugs, put his arm around him–I didn’t even really have to pose the boys because they were just naturally so kind to each other. It took Mr. A a bit of time to warm up for his own photos, so there are some great smile pictures tucked in among a lot of serious faces. He was especially excited about finding so many roly-poly bugs at the Grapevine Botanical Gardens. It’s the simple things, you know?
