Oh, the sweetness. This little one was just adorable and such a perfect addition to a wonderful family. His dimples could melt any heart and his fuzzy hair is just as cute as can be.

You may remember mom’s maternity session from back in early June. It was apparent then just as it is now, the excitement this family has for this new bundle of joy. They are amazing to be around and so much fun to shoot! I can’t wait to do it again! Check back soon for more updates!

Thanks so much N and S for sharing this special time in your life with me! I can’t wait for you to see the rest of your images!

baby g, again. Houston Baby Photographer

I fell in love back in February with baby g. I didn’t think it was possible for him to get any more adorable, but I was wrong. Here he is, 5 months old and just as cute as can be.

Look at those beautiful brown eyes.

And he was so easy going, it really made for one of the easiest sessions ever.

And then, just like that, he was asleep.

And just as sweet and curly as a newborn. Oh I wish I had an image like this of my own kiddo hanging big in my living room.

Thank you so much R and K for allowing me to capture these special moments once again! I had a wonderful time with you all this weekend, I can’t wait to do it again!

In summer, the song sings itself.

Baby R

So I made a special trip to San Antonio last month to meet J and her precious baby R and her big sis for a newborn session. The session was a gift from J’s friend and fellow photographer, Deanna Hall.

We had such a lovely time together! I enjoyed shooting this family a whole lot and the girls were just as cute as can be!

Here is a sneak peek of baby R:

J-Thank you so much for allowing me to capture this special time! I can’t wait to show you the rest!

how did we get so lucky?

The first time his laughter unfurled its wings in the wind, we knew that the world would never be the same.    -StoryPeople

sweet baby s.

Newborns are my favorite thing to photograph. There is just something sooooo special about a new baby and a new family. To see the complete and unconditional love both parents have for someone they’ve just met, but have known forever. Absolutely amazing.

And who could resist this precious face?

Or this teeny tiny bottom and itsy bitsy toes? ?

Simply adorable.

Thanks so much A and A for inviting me back into your home! I had such a wonderful time getting to know S.

Gorgeousness

Need I say more?

Thanks, N and S for spending the day with me this past Sunday! I had so much fun with the two of you!!

PS- Please excuse the lack of updates on my blog! I have been super busy this season with something I can’t share yet, but it’s super exciting! I will have a big announcement in July, check back!!

My Weston.

In a few short weeks you will be two years old. Where did our precious time go? Our baby?
This past year with you has been so much fun. Watching you grow and learn and become you. You are the happiest boy I know, from dusk till dawn. It amazes me how you don’t let things bother you for long (except when it comes to extra sleep). From the moment you were born, I knew how special you were. You are the glue that holds this family together and we couldn’t be more grateful. You are such a wonderful gift to me and daddy.
This year has been full of milestones. One of your favorite things to do is JUMP! You spent weeks willing your little body off the ground and now you are a pro. You jump with such enthusiasm, it’s hard for us not to join in! Especially when there is dancing involved. Oh, how you love to dance and dance, telling me or daddy to “Come on!” because you don’t want to dance alone.
Trains and cars are your latest favorite things. Actually, you love anything with wheels and have so much fun pointing out to mommy and daddy each car, bus and truck that you see! “Look! A bus!”
Sometimes, you will spend an hour or more, just pushing your train or cars around in the living room. The movie Cars is one of your favorite movies, and you love reading the book, and pointing out all of the characters to whoever will listen. You are also so much in love with “Dora”. Oh, how you love to talk about her and “Boots”. For the longest time, neither Daddy or I knew what “Dora” meant when you would talk about her. We finally figured it out, and you haven’t stopped talking about her since.
One of the things I love most about you is that everything you say always gets an “s” at the end. You love drinking from your “cups” or eating “cookies” when you only have one. You vocabulary is huge and you are constantly repeating everything we say. Articulation is not your strong point, but you’ll learn in due time. You amaze us everyday with how smart you are.
Another thing that I love about you is how you react when you bump into something or fall down. You get so angry at whatever caused you harm. I was so sure you wouldn’t get over stubbing your toe on the concrete. A whole week went by, and everyday you saw a sidewalk you would yell at it, “No concrete!”. You were very upset. You have absolutely no problem telling these objects how it is. The nerve of them being there when you are!
You are such a sweet boy. I love when you ask me for a kiss unexpected, or run up to me and wrap your tiny arms around my legs. You are always caring about me or Daddy and are quick to ask us if we are ok if you suspect we might be down or upset. You are the sweetest boy I know, I hope you never change.

I love you so much Bear, my Wessy. You always bring me so much joy. Some days I will just look at you when you are playing, just jabbering away to yourself and I am so overwhelmed by how lucky I am. You will never know how much you mean to me, how much our family has changed because of you. You are so incredibly special.
I love you so.
Love, Mama
