Baby Jack's Baptism, Dallas Baby Photographer

On Holy Saturday, baby Jack's family (see his newborn photos here) gathered to baptize their sweet little man. He'd had a rough week leading up to his baptism, but Jack showed up wide-eyed and big smiles (as long as the camera wasn't pointed his way). I love when families commit to capturing the most sacred moments in their lives, and that's what these images have done for Jack and his family. I loved the way their church community gathered around the babies they baptized, recognition of the role everyone plays in bringing a little one up in the faith. It was a perfect way to get ready for Easter.

Introducing James! Dallas Newborn Photographer

Sweet baby James wasn't too sure about snuggling up and sleeping for his newborn session, but oh my goodness, he is precious. We met when he was just a week old, and I was so thankful to get to do photos celebrating James' brand new life. He had the most calm disposition (as long as he wasn't getting his clothing changed), and his parents are absolutely in love with their tiny man. I love the photos, especially the series of his sweet little yawn. Doesn't a newborn yawn make everything seem right in the world?

The City's Best As Their Playground, Fort Worth Children's Photographer

When she called me to discuss their session, this adorable pair's mom wanted to capture images of her children in and around the places they go in Fort Worth. She picked a triad of locations in close proximity, and we set out for a morning of adventures, playing at the park and choosing lunches at the food park before wrapping up with cupcakes. The mix was just right for a busy toddler and his 5-year-old sister. The kids were great, and by the end of the session I'd made two new pint-sized friends while learning where to find the best tacos in Fort Worth. I love the end result and am so excited to share a sneak peek of this session.

I Love a Sibling Session, Dallas Children's Photographer

I really enjoy photographing elementary aged children and hearing about their likes and dislikes. These three had unique interests and a common love of reading. They shifted back and forth between pestering each other and showing genuine affection. I love the results of a sibling session that allows me to see a glimpse into the life of a family. Just a quick sneak peek for the A family today.

For my regular blog followers, I'm getting ready to switch to a new blog, so keep your eyes peeled for details in the next few days... Much of the content will be the same, but there will be some  fun additions as well.

The B Family on a Saturday Afternoon, Dallas Family Photographer

The last few weeks meant lots of rescheduling due to weather around here, and the B crew was the last of my reschedules. Apparently the third time is the charm, because we finally had sunny warmth greeting us when we met for photos. It had been over a year since I'd seen this family, and the girls have grown up so much. We caught up on life and captured some updated photographs in the process. I love how each little miss has her own personality, and I think that'll really come through as I finish up working on these photos. Just a quick sneak peek for today...
