DFW BABY PHOTOGRAPHER | WEEK 36

September 9, 2018

Has it already been a week since my last DFW baby photographer Project 365 installment? I guess it has been. This past week I feel like it rained..or looked gloomy and rainy almost every day. I am completely certain I could never live in the Pacific Northwest…or anyplace regularly rainy..because it puts me a major funk. I am so lethargic when it is like this outside. I think it’s because of the lack of variety, every day looks and seems the same. I generally thrive on routine, so my life is as structured as possible. But something about the rainy days and being FORCED to choose boring, quiet, indoor activities gives me a case of the grumps.

Let’s see what Week 36 was all about.

Received some flowers from my mom and her husband for my birthday. They kept going strong for a few days after my birthday, and they added a nice touch of cheer to the otherwise gloomy atmosphere.

Baby J watching jealously as Rufus got to go outside. Ignore the disgusting finger prints all over the glass. I live with animals aka children, soI pretty much give up on that door being sparkling unless I know we are having people over. #reallife

Our monthly Kiwi Crate couldn’t have come at a better time. A perfect rainy Friday night activity for Daddy and the boy.

Is it just a second born thing that they want to grow up so fast? Baby J tries to reject the traditional baby straw sippy cup in favor of stealing his big brother’s school water bottles. I think I’m going to give up and just toss all the sippy cups and transition to the big kid bottles, but it breaks my heart. I know it’s just that Baby J wants to be exactly like his brother, but his brother is 6 years older so I wish he would just stay babyish a little longer.

H’s soccer game was rained out. I already had a sitter lined up for Baby J, so I figured that instead of canceling on childcare I’d go ahead and have a Mommy/Boy date with the big kid. We went bowling. It was so fun spending solo time with him, but OMG I did not realize bowling was $45/hr. Holy cow y’all. I swear back in my day it was like $15 to go bowling. Maybe I’m just glorifying the good ol’ days, but why in the world is bowling so expensive!? It wasn’t even peak time–there was hardly anyone in the joint.

FT WORTH NEWBORN BABY PHOTOGRAPHER | WEEK 11

March 20, 2018

This Ft Worth newborn baby photographer and her kiddos survived Spring Break 2018!! At the beginning of the week, I was really looking forward to having my big boy home with me for 9 days and soaking up some family time. My husband is a pilot, and he had some trips pop up unexpectedly, so he was gone the majority of spring break, leaving me and the kiddos to make our own fun at home. I am so thankful for good weather, as this allowed us to get outside and go to the park every single day. I’m not much for crowded places like the zoo, and I’m grateful my children are just as happy with a Lunchable at the park as they are with any of those excursions. Kuddos to all you moms who braved the spring break madness and toted your children to the museums, zoos and aquariums. You are crazy, and amazing.

Holden loved storming into Judd’s room and waking him up from his naps. I am not sure Judd enjoyed the wild wake-up call quite as much.

Scrub a dub dub, it’s a Judd in the tub.

Took a long walk with the boys to the trail at the back of our neighborhood where there is a little lending library.

Spring has sprung. Always love our two redbud trees at this time of year.

76 | 365
Another day, another park visit. This time to the “fancy” park with the sandbox and the zipline. This was about as people-zooish as I was willing to engage in. I think the entire city was at the park that day, but we survived.

77 | 365
Spring means al fresco dining and lots of grilling. Love me some homemade fajitas.

Judd’s first haircut. I hated having to snip his little locks before age 1, but it was time. He has very thin hair, and when a breeze picks it up he looks a lot like Donald Trump. It was time.

Ft Worth Newborn Baby Photographer | Week 5

February 5, 2018

As a Ft Worth newborn baby photographer, one of things I have enjoyed most about this Project 365 is trying out different types of lighting. I traditionally stay in my Roanoke, TX studio for newborn and baby portraiture, and that works great for me and what I offer my clients. However, it is fun to practice getting out there a bit in real world situations.

I now catch myself observing the light. I know what time of day the sun comes in best in the different rooms of my house; I know where the sun sits in the sky during our traditional afternoon park visit, etc. It is really fascinating to notice my brain begin to analyze in that way, and I look forward to growing more and more over the next few months.

This week closed out January and started up February. It’s a big milestone to have stuck with this project for an entire month. I can’t say I would consider even a fraction of my work to be “good,” but at least I’m following through. The best part is that I should have a huge collection of our everyday moments for an heirloom. I am seriously trying to notice every little thing…what are our daily rituals…what am I missing in these photos? How can I tell a complete story in just one frame?? I’ve even thought about how to best photograph someone getting ice from the ice maker. I mean, it is something we do every day so there’s that.

PROJECT 365 | WEEK 5

I noticed that I’m hardly ever in any of these pictures, and I do make up 25% of our family. So, I gathered up the tripod and remote shutter to attempt a mommy and baby photo. I figured his afternoon bottle was as good as any time since that is definitely something this boy never misses. #chubbybaby
