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!

Perfect Golden Light + The Sweetest Evening Spent | Family Photos

Swoon worthy golden light and the most precious toddler + her awesome parents! What  a fun evening!

"A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no awe, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path." - Agatha Christie

Good morning to you! I'd like to thank you for stopping by my blog to see one of the latest beautiful family portraiture sessions I'm previewing. As a photographer, I am based in Houston, though I serve the surrounding suburbs and areas such as Tomball, Spring, Katy, The Woodlands, Rice Village, Cypress, and many others! I delight in photographing all things baby and family. Nothing makes my heart sing quite like connecting with a family, spending the evening (or sunrise!) with you as we hang out, let your session develop organically, and make sure the experience is customer service driven. 

If you ever stop by my blog, you've probably seen this family before. They are some of my favorite clients. We've done essentially every type of session together; maternity, newborns, in home lifestyle family photography, child milestone sessions such as 3, 6, 9 and 12 month portraits. In addition, we've even done a cake smash and updated, outdoor family photography in the most stunning natural light. Seeing them puts a smile on my face and I always adore presenting them with a new gallery. Seeing little one change and grow is a joy! 

For our most recent session, we used a location in Northwest Houston; I like this spot because it's fantastic for both morning or evening light. It also has plenty of open space for little one to run and play! It features yummy golden light and is never crowded. 

My motto for all of your sessions is simple: Let Them Be Little. I enjoy working with young children because each and every single kiddo marches to the beat of their own drum. Some are wild and free whereas other little ones are curious and cautious. No matter, I embrace their individual spirit. Posing is always connected and warm; I never force little one into anything and often the session is not necessarily everyone looking at the camera and smiling, but more about holding baby close to you, breathing in her scent, basking in the glory of childhood. Because it IS sacred. And fleeting. Before you know it, little one is now a mighty toddler and then you blink and they're school aged. I can attest to this because I'm often in awe of how quickly time goes by, especially when I see repeat clients like this family. It lends perspective: document this time now. You'll treasure these images. From the way baby feels in your arm, to their laugh, to the way the toddle forward as they learn to walk. These milestones are what makes your baby who she is.

Thanks again for stopping by my blog! I hope you'll visit soon! Scroll on down for more details about booking a session for yourself.
