DFW Newborn Photographer | Baby Album

March 30, 2017

This DFW newborn photographer is counting down the days until we welcome Baby Parker #2. I’m at 29 weeks, and I know I’ll be induced early or at the very least at 40 weeks. So, that means we are down to less than 80 days before our newest addition arrives. Eeek!!

The nursery is nearly complete–I’m still waiting on a few honey-do projects to be checked off before I share a reveal of that. In the meantime, I had baby’s memory book printed. Since this baby is the same gender as our first, there aren’t a lot of real “needs” on my list beyond diapers and other disposable items, so I’ve had a little wiggle room to indulge in fun extras like this book. I considered designing something completely custom, but in the end I purchased the page template off Etsy and then had everything bound in a beautiful natural linen covered album through my preferred lab. This was about as easy a DIY project as you could get.

Can’t wait to meet our little guy in just a few weeks.

DFW Baby Photographer | Meet Liam

This adorable little sitter visited my DFW newborn photography residential studio yesterday for his sitter portraits! This guy started all smiles, but definitely wanted to stay sitting up and would have nothing to do with laying on his tummy or back. I love how babies this age are developing personalities and already have their own unique preferences.

I enjoyed chatting with Liam’s mommy as she has 4 boys at home!! I am expecting our second baby boy in June, and I come from a family of all girls so I am always eager to talk with other boy moms about what to expect.

Little Liam was a cutie!! Enjoy the preview!

DFW Newborn Photographer | Benjamin 6 Month Session

February 21, 2017

This DFW newborn photographer was so happy to be back in the studio photographing little Benjamin for his sitter session last weekend. I first met this munchkin as a newborn, and he is one of my Baby Plan clients, so I get the pleasure of documenting his growth throughout that very important first year.

Sitter sessions are really one of my favorite things to do. This is that perfect baby stage that all parents enjoy–baby is squishy, is developing a personality and will just sit and relax about anywhere. This is the golden stage that occurs right before they get super mobile, and I just eat it up.

Also, can I just mention how amazing Ben’s hair is??!! He had a full head of hair at his newborn session too, and his parents said it’s just kept growing from there. In fact, he apparently had a hair cut right before his photos. I have never heard of a 7 month old getting a bona fide hair cut, so that is pretty darn cool.

I also really enjoyed that Mom and Dad brought in some Toy Story gear from baby’s nursery, as well as a little TCU football from his newborn session. It is always fun to see some of the same props with baby a few months older…really helps you visualize just how quickly they are growing.

Enjoy the sneak peek!

DFW Newborn Photographer | Meet Henlee

This little angel visited my studio earlier in the week. I am pretty sure she was zonked out the entire session, which means this little babe must be up all night for her parents.

Henlee is the first girl in her family, so Mommy showed up with lots of bows and tutus! I enjoyed getting to play a little dress up with Miss H.

Enjoy the sneak peek.

DFW NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER | SAM

October 27, 2016

DFW Newborn Photographer | Meet Sam

Little bundle Sam visited my studio last week for some newborn pictures. He joins a family with two big sisters, so he can look forward to the life of a little prince. Fun fact—Sam’s family lives just down the street, so it will be fun to run into this family at the park and such over the years and watch this little guy grow.

Sam visited the studio right at 14 days old, so he was definitely a little more alert than most babies I see. However, we loved being snuggled and swaddled up so that definitely helped with capturing his photos. Plus, I had the bonus of capturing a few wide-eyed, awake shots—always a rarity with newborns.

Enjoy the sneak peek!

DFW Cake Smash Photographer |Walker

October 17, 2016

I was so excited to welcome little Walker back into my studio last weekend. I first photographed Walker as a newborn, so it was an absolute joy to be asked to photograph his first birthday/cake smash. One of my absolute favorite parts about being a DFW newborn photographer is getting to follow up on babies throughout their first year of life, and being the person who gets to document their most important milestones. Such a cool job perk. [Read more…]

DFW First Birthday Photographer | Alexa

September 20, 2016

Miss Alexa was as sweet as could be for her cake smash this past weekend.

Her parents brought in some really cute props and outfits, which is always a treat. This little girl was walking at 9 months, so she was all about exploring the studio and not so much into sitting still. It is always a challenge when little ones are so mobile, but thankfully this precious tot was a happy girl for most of the session.

Alexa had her first taste of cake during the photo session, and I’m saving those photos for mom and dad’s eyes at their image reveal. I will say that they are hilarious and are giving me a grin as I work through editing those. She was definitely not sure what to think about cake, but she was all about those balloons! So adorable!!

Enjoy the sneak peek!

DFW Newborn Photographer | Cameron

September 7, 2016

DFW Newborn Photographer | Meet Cameron

Beautiful baby Cameron visited my DFW newborn photography studio yesterday morning.

I met Cameron’s parents through our former church, and it was so nice getting the opportunity to reconnect and meet the family’s newest addition.

Cameron slept like a champ, and she never had any bathroom incidents on me. Being a newborn photographer means that getting peed on is an occupational hazard, but the baby snuggles you get to soak in make it totally worth it. However, when I get a super awesome baby like Miss Cameron who is sleepy, snuggly and also no pottying then I am over the moon! Cameron’s mommy wasn’t so lucky, as baby saved up all her mischief for family photos. Hehe. Really though, this girly was a perfect angel baby. If her parents see similar antics out of this lady at home then they are one lucky mom and dad.

C’s mommy brought in a whole bag of bows, so I got to try a few things from her stash and also got the opportunity to use a few new items from my own prop shelf. I’ve had a string if baby boys lately, so it was all about the pink and soft colors with this little lady.

I am also super pleased with some of the awake shots of Cameron. It is not every day that I baby is content enough to open their eyes and make good contact, so that is a real treat and I’m eager to share those with her family.

Enjoy the sneak peek!

DFW First Birthday Photographer | Charlie’s 1st Birthday

August 1, 2016

As a DFW newborn photographer, it is always a tremendous joy when I get to meet back up with the babies I’ve photographed as they celebrate their first birthdays. It is such an important milestone, and I am very honored when a family chooses me to photograph their little one throughout that first year of life. You can see Charlie’s newborn session here.

So, it was with great excitement that I welcomed little Charlie back into the studio for his first birthday/cake smash session. I was especially excited because this little guy’s dad works in aviation, so we got to pull some cute pilot-inspired items into the photos. I have a pilot hubby at home, so anything airplane theme is kind of a big deal in this house. [Read more…]

DFW Newborn Photographer | Benjamin

DFW Newborn Photographer | Meet Benjamin

Sweet Benjamin’s DFW newborn session was such a delight! This little guy arrived a few weeks early, and spent awhile in the NICU, so he wasn’t able to visit the the studio right away. Thankfully, he is now healthy and at home in his parents arms.

I think the NICU prepared him well for photos, because this guy slept like a champ through poses and noise. I really think he only opened his eyes twice over the course of 3 hours. Plus, I give him a gold medal for only pooping on me once. I’m sure that sounds gross to folks who aren’t newborn photographers, but trust me–being pooped on only one time is really gold star material.

Oh my goodness, did I mention the hair??? I have seen a lot of babes with hair this year, so folks must be eating a lot of spicy foods or whatever they say makes babies come out with hair. Lil’ Ben takes the cake though. He has a full ‘do going on, plus, if you look closely–the boy has natural highlights. The most gorgeous hue of chestnut brown with streaks of gold. People pay top dollar for those kind of locks! He is so handsome, and I made sure to take a few extra pictures just of his mane. [Read more…]
