Outdoor & Natural Light Cake Smash | County Fair Theme

Howdy, friends! Welcome to my blog! Today's post focuses on adorable children's cake smash session as well as the family portion of his one year photography session. As a photographer, I do specialize in newborn portraits, however, I offer a limited number of outdoor, natural light family photography appointments as well as darling children's portraits for your little ones, too. :-) Today's post is all about a super sweet family! We used one of my favorite locations in Cypress, but the parents were total rock stars and came from Pearland. The good thing about Houston is that we have many major highways so traveling is generally pretty easy. 

For this cake smash + family session combination, Mom told me baby's birthday party theme is a county fair so she wanted to incorporate that into his cake smash. I am a prop minimalist so that baby may be the focus; we used a vintage high chair, a cute set of balloons and then a sign Mom brought. The star of the smash is Baby but a cute cherry pie is what we used to smash. So cute! Simple, easy details. Moms: don't make things harder than they need to be. This is something I cannot stress enough.

Here are my favorite images of our time together!

Outdoor Family Photography | Sweet Baby Boy & His Doting Parents

This portion of the session was a lot of fun for me to document because family connections are everything. As a mama, I can tell you how special it is to have images of your entire family interacting. I like my family portrait sessions to be lifestyle in nature meaning you cuddle, kiss, toss baby into the air. Everything should feel warm and natural. Be who you are. Enjoy being with your spouse and children. This time is sacred and these sweet memories will be truly wonderful to look back on and admire! My sessions take place specifically at sunrise or sunset; in this case, we shot at sunset since the location faces east. The stunning, golden light adds much warmth to the images and emphasises love. Truly my favorite time of the day!

Favorite Family Session of 2016 | So Much Love and Joy to Share

Family Portrait Photographer providing natural light, outdoor sessions for families, children and babies in the Greater Houston Area. 

“Sometimes when you pick up your child you can feel the map of your own bones beneath your hands, or smell the scent of your skin in the nape of his neck. This is the most extraordinary thing about motherhood – finding a piece of yourself separate and apart that all the same you could not live without.” — Jodi Picoult

Greetings! Thanks for stopping by!. As always, I'm super excited to see you've taken the time to view one of the sessions that grace my blog. As a Houston TX Portrait Photographer, I specialize in newborn and family photography. My specialization stems from one simple fact: I delight in capturing your joy. Photographing your family milestones is an absolute honor. Family photos are priceless and treasured heirlooms.

I'd love to introduce this amazing family session to you! When booking a session with me, I proudly offer several natural light and outdoor locations for you to select from. All of my sessions feature ethereal, golden light in order to showcase family bonds and connections. I think of how the images will be displayed in your home - this is how I design your collection.

Moreover, sometimes parents express a little bit of worry about the session. What do they wear? How do they act? What if they feel a little awkward? As your photographer, have no fear. I seamlessly guide and pose you throughout the session. I give clear direction in order to develop natural, organic connections between you and your children, family or partner. While it's nice to have images of everyone looking at the camera, I also adore photos in which you're interacting together. Snuggle those babies, look into their eyes - see them for who they are. Let me capture your joy. Let me honor and preserve parenthood for you. And as a mama, I know how fleeting time is. This is why all of my portraiture collections encourage parents to participate in the session, even for newborn babies, maternity or child milestones. 

And finally - each session is different. They're all a modern story, crafted with love. Each family has their own spirit and traditions; I'd be honored to tell your story. This in mind, here are a few of my favorite images from our time together. 

Thanks again for stopping by my blog! I hope you enjoyed viewing one of the latest outdoor and natural light family sessions I photographed. I also hope you visit again. If you're curious about your own session, there are some handy dandy details below.

Dapper Little Dude's First Professional Photos | Newborn Photography

"And she loved a little boy very very much - even more than she loved herself."

A brand new baby. As a Houston Newborn Photographer, this makes my heart soar. Photographing the most tiny of clients is truly a joy. The details, styling, and spending the morning  cuddling a sweet little baby is one of my favorite aspects of baby photography. The customized sessions cater to parents seeking a variety of colors, poses, and props. For example, for this cherub's session, we used navy blue, tan, grey and cream. I provide everything you need, except the baby. This includes vintage floor props such as buckets, bowls, or crates. I also provide the wooden floors you see and backdrops to ensure the final product is coheisve with the work you see in my portfolio. I also have a vast array of bonnets, headbands, and organic wraps to adorn you baby's face. While props are minimal, such as the set ups seen here, they are also classic. 40 years from now you want the images to still have timeless yet soulful feeling.

For my time with baby boy, he loved to be wrapped! The wrapping is pretty nifty because it reminds you baby of being in the womb; it helps them "curl" up and feel safe during our session. For 9 months, your baby grew in your belly, so this reminds them of all that they know. A warm room and full tummy makes baby happy, too! This little guy did make me work, though I am very happy with his portraits as they're vintage, rustic, and the light fills his face to highlight his chubby cheeks, button nose, and little lashes.

For the family portion of his newborn session, his parents chose to not participate, so our focus was sibling with baby. While I do include family images in all of my collections I offer, I also understand sometimes parents may not feel photo ready. No worries! That just means more newborn portraits for you. Regardless, I do encourage sibling shots at the very least. Big Brother simply stole my heart! During the session, he sat with me while I posed little brother; he told me all about his teachers at pre-school and we sang some fun songs together, like "The Wheels on the Bus," haha! Big sister told me all about her soccer games and how her team won a game that past weekend. Meeting these sweet children was truly an honor and my heart melted while working with them. The innocence of them is simply pure. 

I'd like to thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you enjoyed viewing one of the latest posed newborn sessions that grace my blog. Please visit again!
