Emily Jane | Baby’s First Year | Waxahachie Photographer

Emily wrapped up her baby plan at the end of last year with a first birthday session in downtown Waxahachie!  It was appropriate – because her daddy is a fireman there – and aside from that – the downtown area is SO adorable!  I’m so lucky to have a job that allows me to travel around to all different locations and find those little spots that are just perfect for portraits!  We even found a doorway to do our cake smash in at the end of the session – and just after we finished – it started to rain – talk about perfect timing!

Sweet Sofia | Fate Newborn Photographer

Sweet, sweet Sofia – she is amazing in so many ways!  Those lips…  that hair…  And she was a sweet and sleepy subject, to boot!  This session took place in early November – I can only imagine how much she’s grown – I hope to see her soon!

Mine | Jumping on the Bed Photography

In the hustle and bustle of the busy fall portrait season – it’s so easy to forget to take the time to shoot for myself – just for the pure joy of it.  Don’t get me wrong – I love photographing my clients – but every once in a while – I want to do something different – something that will reflect MY life, and photograph my kids in a way that will remind me years down the road, just how fun and ‘bouncy’ they were when they were three and five years old.  I’m very behind on blogging – these were taking at the beginning of November last year – just as my crazy busy season was beginning.  I am so glad I took a moment to capture MY kids – something I don’t always get a chance to do during that time of year.  And remember – you don’t have to be a professional photographer, or even have a fancy camera – to capture your kids right as they are today.  Let them do something naughty (like jumping on the bed) and sit back and capture the natural laughter that ensues…

The H Family | Rockwall Photographer

Last year – these handsome boys came to see me – FULL of energy, and excited with the FRESH news that they were going to have a baby sister in the spring.  This year – I was so pleased to be able to photograph them WITH their baby sister!  This is one of the best looking families EVER!  I’m crazy busy this week – so just posting a quick peek at their individual shots…

Family of (almost) four | Rockwall Family Photographer

What an exciting time for this family, as they prepare to welcome a new member!  Big brother probably doesn’t have a clue that his world is about to change drastically – so glad they took time to enjoy their family of three before welcoming their little girl at the end of the year.  I look forward to meeting her – and will show you her newborn portraits as soon as I can!

Emma Grace (+ Mommy & Daddy) | Rockwall Photographer

Emma is such a sweet little girl – she was one of my baby planners, and her parents decided to come back for a family session this fall as well – I know I say it over and over – but one of the best things about my job is getting to see these babies begin to grow and change, and also to see the relationships they have with their families.  The first set of images is Emma at less than two weeks, at six months, at 12 months, and now she’s 18 months old.  <3

And a few more of her family’s session:

Liam | Rockwall Baby Photographer

Liam is one of my baby planners – and came in for one of my FAVORITE age sessions – the 6-7 month ‘sitting up’ session.  Doing these in studio is so much fun – we get to see their little personalities shine through.  This little guy was ready to GO, and I’m completely in love with some of the shots we captured…

Ferris | Rockwall Newborn Portraits

Ferris came in for a studio newborn session last month.  Whenever I’m preparing for a session here at the studio – my oldest daughter always asks me who’s coming, what their name is, etc.  This time – I told her it was a baby named Ferris – and she said “do you mean like the fairest of them all?”…  After meeting Ferris, and looking at these gorgeous images of her – I had to say – yes – she is the fairest of them all!  I’ll never be able to think of her name any other way!

Ballerina Portraits | Dance Photographer, Rockwall, TX

Back at the end of September we held our second annual event, Ballerina Portraits.  It was once again LOADS of fun.  A HUGE thank you goes out to Miss Tiffany (Tiffany Edwards) of Dance Techniques, who co-hosted the event with me, and is responsible for most of those super cute dancer poses you will see below!  I can hardly wait until next year when we do it again!
