I have so loved being able to get to know this sweet family over the last couple of years! Our first session was in the dead of summer before their little girl was born, and now look how big she’s gotten. The saying “time is a thief” is all too true! I know I feel like my little ones are only little for half of a blink, and the next thing I know they’re running around and feel like a giant person on my lap. All of the cheesy sayings are true! That’s one big reason why I’m so thankful for photography. I’m one of those Moms who scrolls through photos of the kids on her phone after they’re in bed because I miss their sweet faces. That doesn’t mean that I wasn’t also counting the seconds until bedtime most days, but it gets me every time I look back at the curly hair my son had when he was a baby! Those photos aren’t the greatest quality, but they’re something and they’re some of my greatest treasures.

I encourage you to take all the photos together, even if they’re not professional quality. Hang them on your walls, print them in albums, just take the photo and give it life somewhere other than on your computer. Your babies will be so glad that you did and YOU will be so glad that you did. I’m currently working on our albums from 2017, so I’m nowhere near perfect with this. They make great Christmas presents for the grandparents too 😉 If you decide that you’d like to add some professional photos into the mix of cell phone photos in your album, or that you’d like nicer photos of a certain milestone your family is currently experiencing, I am a North Dallas Photographer and I would love to photograph your family!

I have photographed twins before, but I’ve never been able to photograph twin little girls with curly ringlets, the most spunky personalities, and twirly dresses! It was an experience that I am already dying to recreate! Emilia was a bit shy at first, and Savannah was more than happy to tell me her life’s story and what she had for lunch that day. My hope going into each session with kids is that I’m able to capture each of their personalities in the photos. I personally love looking at old photos and just seeing my kid’s personalities shine. As if looking at photos of them when they were younger doesn’t pull on the heartstrings already, the ability to remember how they were when they were younger brings me so much joy.

Also can we talk about this location?! My favorite time to take photos outdoors is the spring because of the vibrant greens and the tall grass. We also got lucky and had a few tiny flowers (or as my husband calls them, weeds) to play with. One of my favorite all time photos is from this session, the photo of the family crouched close together behind the tall grass. It was the result of an experiment I was a little nervous about, but I so love the dreamy effect it created! And of course that gorgeous never ending Texas sunshine always helps. That will never get old! I love to interact with families to create plenty of emotion filled images, but I also love to take a different approach occasionally and make photographs that might look a little more like a painting than a photo. If this resonates with you and you’re looking for a Plano Family Photographer, I would love to chat with you!

“When you’re a mom, you get the best seat to the greatest show in town. Watching your children grow up.” – Rebecca Pearson, This Is Us

Can you believe this is the same little boy from the newborn family session featured in my last blog post? It really is amazing how fast these little ones grow, and how they seem to change every single day. It seems like just yesterday that I was taking Henry’s newborn photos with his Dad, Mom, and their sweet fur baby. Now, what feels like just a few seconds later, I’m sitting down to tell you all about his six-month milestone session. These sweet babies really do grow up as fast as everyone says—or maybe even faster than they say! Sweet baby Henry changed so much in the six months between his newborn session and his six-month-old milestone session. I would have never imagined I would say this because he was pretty sweet at his newborn session, but he’s even cuter now than before. He was so smiley, had the most delicious chubby cheeks, and I especially loved how his gorgeous blue eyes lit up when he was playing with or looking at his mom.

There really is such a special relationship between a mother and her firstborn, and there seems to be an extra special bond between a mama and her little boy. Sweet Henry loves his mama so much, and he had the cutest giggles as they played together. Seeing little ones play at this age is so sweet and is, by far, one of my favorite things to photograph. The curiosity in their expressions is so fun to watch, and I love seeing their focused expressions as their chubby little fingers reach for a toy or a loved one’s face! I’m so excited to continue to watch Henry grow, and to help his family capture more of these special milestone moments!

I schedule a limited amount of in-home sessions each month, and one of the main things I look for when I schedule these sessions is natural lighting. This natural light is one of the most important things for maintaining the light and airy aesthetic that you see in my photos. When I walked into this family’s home, I was so happy to see the most gorgeous natural light pouring in through the windows. Finding natural light like this is every photographer’s dream! I also love when my clients choose light-colored wall colors and home décor. The combination of gorgeous natural light and light-colored home décor provides the perfect backdrop for your family’s photos and makes my job so easy to do!


I also love in-home newborn sessions because it’s so fun to be able to see how much love and effort parents put into their children’s nurseries. It’s definitely a labor of love, and it shows in this gorgeous nursery. I love the light and bright, neutral décor with the small touches of colorful accents. This love also showed in this sweet family’s interactions together, as you can see in each photo. The love and happiness they share is so easy to see in their happy smiles and the way they look at each other.


I had so much fun photographing this newborn session with little Henry, his parents, and their dog. Their dog LOVED being in the photos and was so sweet and gentle with his baby brother. I love the moments we captured with the dog watching over Henry, and I’m sure they’ll have so much fun together as Henry grows. I love incorporating family pets into our photo sessions, because they’re part of the family, too! And family pets definitely hold a huge place in our hearts and in our lives.

“There is an endearing tenderness in the love of a mother to a son that transcends all other affections of the heart.” – Washington Irving
I love all of the photos from this family session, but I almost died as I was taking photos of mama with her boys because they were just so sweet and loving! With her oldest son’s arms around her neck and the two younger boys playing nearby, I couldn’t help but fall in love with this cute family. I also loved how patient this sweet mom was with her boys. There truly is something so special about the relationship between a mama and her sons.

We had so much fun just playing together, and I love how you can see that playfulness in the images! I especially loved watching these sweet boys with their one-year-old baby brother, Cal. They were just the sweetest and loved to make him laugh! I was able to capture so many sweet family hugs and snuggles, and I couldn’t be happier with how the photos turned out.
The saying, “boys will be boys” was definitely true during this family session—and to be honest, every family session I photograph. But instead of scolding the boys, mom and dad were so sweet and patient, and I was so glad! I love capturing candid, natural poses and interactions, and when I’m photographing three little boys, I know I’ll be working with some wiggles. But that’s okay! I’d much rather help your children find a creative and photograph-worthy outlet for their wiggles. Having to get after kiddos immediately zaps the fun out of the session for the kiddos and the parents, so I’m more than happy to work with your family to capture happy and loving (and sometimes just a little bit crazy) interactions. Because, let’s be honest, this is real life when you’re the parents of little kids. And isn’t that what we’re trying to capture in a family session?
