My sweet baby boy turned one today. It’s surreal to me that his first year has gone by so quickly, in a blink really. He brought so much to our family, it’s like he’s always been here….I can’t remember us without him. I woke up this morning to his groupies (Taryn and Jude) sneaking in our bedroom to whisper happy birthday in his ear. He’s seriously the most easy going, happy go lucky baby I’ve ever met. Happy Birthday to my little Mister…momma loves you.

It’s always a little bitter sweet when my baby planners graduate. I loved seeing her grow and change over the first year. I’m catching up on blogging right now so these were actually taken several months ago. I’m thrilled I get to see her family for a fall session in a few weeks! That first year brings SO many changes and milestones, each one worth capturing. I have a few baby planner spots open for 2014, if you are on the fence, grab one, you won’t regret it!

The way my baby plans are set up, my clients usually opt for a mini session for maternity. I love that Michelle and Phillip opted for a signature family session for their maternity photos, it was so fun for me to spend the extra time and capture their sweet little family. While our goal was to capture Michelle’s pregnancy, we were also on a mission to get Phillip, who is usually behind the camera (and quite good at it too!), in the picture for a change. The sweet little boy cooking in there will make an appearance on the blog very soon too!



Little Miss L is one of the most expressive babies I have ever photographed. I always have to include her funny faces in her gallery and thankfully her parents love it. She was only 3 months old here and already so much personality shining through. Funny babies are the best!!


A flashback to spring, frolicking in the bluebonnets with 2 of my best girls. This was a fun new location for me to shoot at, bluebonnets were scarce this year and I had to really go hunting to find some. I love the shot of Joan on the roof. In full disclosure, I did not put a child on the roof, it’s a cool building built in to the ground and on one side you can access the roof, it is a total of about 12 inches off the ground, they were safe the whole time, promise!
