H Family

The H family first hired me back in November to do a lifestyle session and I’ve been meaning to blog their pictures ever since!  I loved their session and recently did another for them before they made a big move to another country.

I showed up early at their house just in time for them to get the kiddo out of bed.  He was a little wary of this stranger in his house at first!  I had such a great time documenting their morning.  Lifestyle photography is one of my favorite types of sessions!

The Birth of Camden

One of the most meaningful and beautiful things I’ve done in my career has been photographing the birth of a child.  It is something that has always fascinated and intrigued me.  Being witness to a couple become 3 or a family become 4 has to be one of the most sacred things I’ve ever experienced.  It was such an honor to watch Camden join the world and I hope I can express some of those feelings through these photographs.  I thought I wasn’t going to be allowed in the OR until about 10 minutes before surgery and when I found out I was practically jumping with joy.  The nurses and doctors were so incredible and supportive and seemed really focused on making it a good experience for everyone involved.  I’m so grateful Camden’s parents’ trusted me with capturing this moment.  Thank you!

Miles is the proud big brother and when I first arrived his grandmas took him down to the gift shop to pick out a present for baby sister.  Miles was one of the first newborns I photographed in Houston three years ago!

On our way back upstairs is when I found out I was allowed in the OR.  I threw on my flattering paper scrubs and got ready.

They let me have free reign of the room and it was absolutely fascinating.

Then she was here.

When I was editing and got to this next image?  Instant tears.  You are both so beautiful.

Favorite.

One last kiss from mama before they finished up.

Time for big brother to meet baby sister!  He was so sweet to her.

Beautiful, isn’t she?

 

Congratulations!!  I’m so happy for your family.  Thanks again for letting me be there.

Foley Family

I photographed the Foley family back in November and I don’t think I’ve ever seen two parents who were more involved with their baby.  They were awesome!  They did whatever they could think of to make their little guy smile, including making a plethora of strange noises and making him “dance” gangnam style (and it worked! haha).   It was such a pleasure to see their little family in action.

Abram

Abram was one of my wonderful newborns from 2012!  He took his first modeling gig seriously and he really did a great job.  What a beautiful boy he is!

Happy New Year!

Happy 2013!  It’s been an incredible year with many wonderful experiences and many challenges, like most of you, I’m sure!  The last few months have been a bit of a whirlwind of near constant work so I’ll be showing off many of my 2012 clients on the blog in the next few months!  There are so many beautiful families I’ve been blessed to work with and I’m excited to showcase them here.

And to start the year off right, here’s a shot from my last session from 2012, on New Year’s Eve!  This beautiful little girl brightened the dreary day we had in Houston.  Welcome to the world, Fiona!
