It's always fun to meet a family when they're expecting a new little one, and I loved the low-key hanging out that made up this session. Little man Cohen will be an amazing big brother, and he is a go, go, go busy sort of fella. His mom and dad know how to take their boy in stride, and they sure do love him and each other. Can't wait to meet the new addition in February!
Will is seven and all that seven entails. Energetic. Busy. Fast. Fun. He's quite the conversationalist and one well-loved little boy. I thoroughly enjoyed hanging out with him and his mom.
Little E belongs to friends who are like family, and she is feisty and opinionated and fun. When I told her I'd send her updated photos to Santa so he could see how much she'd grown this year, she said, "Santa will think I'm a super model." This girl has a sense of style. I've been doing her photos since she was a baby, and it's hard to believe she's become such a little lady. I love how much personality comes through in these photographs.
This family? I've been doing their photos since a toddling boy chased his bald baby sister. The kids know me by name; they greet me with high-fives and hugs. I love the rapport that allows for genuine joy and real love to come through the camera lens. Every session with this crew is an honor, and this amazing family makes me smile.
I don't have a lot of words for this session other than this: it felt magical. The love. The smiles. The genuineness. The beauty. It was so very real. Super B is one blessed little fella. I think that shines through here.
Halloween meant triplet wild things, in costume, of course.Handmade costumes and crunchy leaves and raisins and a story book to boot were the trappings of this session. I've watched these littles grow since they were a few weeks old, and these are some of my favorite photos to date. Don't you love them?
It's an honor when friends ask me to update their family photos. We had to reschedule this session a couple of times before it actually happened, but I'm glad we made it happen. I love the way this family is grounded and focused on simplicity and on loving others well. They are inspiring and warm and some of my all-around favorite people.
I first met these two when they were engaged. And then I photographed their wedding. And then I got to photograph their gender reveal session. And these photos are from their maternity session. They are going to be amazing parents to their little man, and I cannot wait to do his photos too. So much love shared here.
I loved the light in this session. It complimented the beautiful smiles and loving warmth that these photographs display. More than the light, I love the way this family interacts. They're an incredible crew, and it's always a pleasure to take their photos.
Little lady L has to be one of the happiest babies I've ever met. She smiled and laughed lots during her session. Six months is one of my favorite ages for photos, and it has everything to do with the wide-eyed wonder little ones display at this age. The whole world is amazing, and six-month-olds seem to get that. You can see that in her eyes.
A walk through the park on a cool morning with this crew looked something like this. I love how the bright colors pop against the Texas lack of seasonal change. More than that I love how beautiful love looks on this family. Don't you?
My brothers, twins, are graduating. Rather than reminisce about the last 18 years, I thought I'd let their senior images tell the story of who they've become. They're smarties. Zeke wants to study viola, and Zak plans to study physics. In the meantime, they're getting ready to graduate. Their senior session cracked me up. I'll not soon forget it.
It's amazing to me to watch a newborn turn into a smiley baby. Landry has done just that, and she was all smiles for her parents throughout her session. That's evidence of a wee girl who is loved well. She wasn't such a fan of her Halloween costume, but she still gave a few smiles in spite of herself. I'm so excited to watch this little miss grow up.
Two-year-old twin girls are busy, independent, fun. They are learning to talk and wanting to go! and do! and be! and finding their feet in life. Neither little miss was certain they wanted to have their photos taken. And that's okay, because the end result was genuine expressions and real life. I'm glad I get to keep on telling the story of these little girls.
This is the fourth year I've photographed these two, and it's such an incredible thing to watch a little girl grow up before my eyes. Watching she and her mom interact at this session was so fun. I think you can see love in these images.
They came with smiles and precociousness and curiosity, these four. The little ones look up to the big ones. The big ones are eager to help the little ones. The four of them are so fortunate to have one another, and it seems like they have that figured out already, young though they are. I'm glad my camera got to bear witness to it, and don't you just love their outfits?
Purple stripes and a smiley girl who is growing up before my eyes... I love how loved she is. I love how low-key this family is. I love the way they are, together.
Jack is about to celebrate his first birthday, and if his demeanor is indicative of his ability to celebrate, it'll be a fantastic day. This baby loves life. He laughs and smiles and makes his joy known to everyone. I love how expressive he is, and I love that that expressiveness came through in this session. I also love his super creative style of crawling. Happy birthday, Jack!
They are growing up before my eyes, these three. I love the way their faces shine. They are a joyful trio who love each other and life. It's always an honor to update their photos. They make me smile.
Some of the most beautiful people I know. I love that I get to continue to tell the ongoing story of their lives visually. It's hard to believe Sam and Lucy are 5. It's not hard to believe that they're growing up to be incredible kids. They are thankful, precocious, fun-loving adventurers. I'm grateful to have the whole family in my life.
