A bigger "Little Berry"

I took a few shots of Jacque's baby bump at 6 months, but this week had the pleasure of doing a full maternity session for them...and baby's grown a bit since then!!
I loved capturing their excitement about their little "Berry" who will arrive at the end of August! And Mama is just glowing...

Of course the little gal already has a growing shoe collection...Which scares her Daddy a bit. I am sure he'll have her in a pair of race boots so she can join him out on the racetrack soon enough!

What a fun session and of course I can't wait until that little berry is ripened and ready to arrive!

6 Months of Baby K

I met this family to take some 6 month portraits of Baby K over the past weekend. I could literally take 3 hours worth of photos of this crew and they'd still be smiling and happy and compliant! I LOVE doing their sessions! They are just so easy and natural and good natured! And isn't K ADORABLE??!!! Even when she's crying....which was for like 1 second of the entire session.

We had fun trying out some pearls and bows and lacy blankets. K took to those pearls quicker than a wink. I think that made Daddy nervous. :)

Such a happy girl!!

Mayra's Baby Bump

Not only did I get the pleasure of shooting Trent and Mayra's engagement photos a while back, now I love being a part of the next stage of their lives--the birth of their first little boy! We had a fun (but h-o-t) time documenting Mayra's baby bump! Our session took place at Trent's grandparent's house in the country....I love when sessions take place somewhere meaningful, so this was the perfect spot!

The baby's name will be Nolan, so of course Dad had to sport his 'Stros cap in the photos!

Can't wait to meet that little guy!!

Just one more....

One more newborn session photo....don't those little wrinkles and that fine baby hair just make you want to melt?!!

Ava's One!

Ava is a year old and it was time for some updated portraits! In true toddler form she was ready to run away from the camera every chance she got and definitely DID NOT want Mom or Dad to hold her. That's okay, we had fun capturing her "doing her thing...." playing in the dirt, running around and climbing on benches. That's the joy of a one year old!

Check out those huge brown eyes!!

Baby Brooklyn

I met sweet Brooklyn and her family last week at their home. Momma had some fun props, bows and a tutu all ready for our session! Daddy was a good sport and even got in on the fun. She was wide-eyed the whole session, as hard as her momma tried to get her to sleep. Finally at the end she could stand it no more...just in time, as we put her in the hammock from the tree and got some great sleepy-girl shots!

My favorite two newborn "poses" are a yawning photo and a screaming photo. I love capturing each of these moments...and of course I had to share! :)

The B's...oozing with personaliTEE....

A couple weeks ago we fit in a quick, fun family session with this crew while they were in town for a couple of days. Unfortunately (as you can tell from the photos), no one in their family has ANY personality. Ha! I love the fun, laid-back photos we got...
