Michelle's Maternity - Lone Oak, TX

Michelle and Corey were very easygoing when it came to this maternity session. Photographing family is always a welcome since both parties are more relaxed. Here are a few from our time together:

Wright Family - White Rock Lake

One family I definitely have seen grow. After they moved to Colorado, they contact me when they are in Texas, which I cannot appreciate enough. We spent an evening during the Thanksgiving holidays to bring an update this year. The session felt very casual and relaxed. I was at home.

The Ozturks, Dallas Arboretum

I feel the circle is just about complete. I have followed The Ozturks when they got married, and then packaged a deal for their maternity, newborn and now Liam's 1-year celebration sessions. Seeing all the stages of a relationship going through adulthood is nothing short of fascinating.

We strolled through the Dallas Arboretum on a Sunday morning. Here are a few images that resulted from our time together.

Patchen Family - Dallas Arboretum

4 years ago I photographed Matt and Vanessa's beautiful Victorian outdoor wedding. And recently, one Sunday morning, I'm helping commemorate their twins Jamieson and Brendan's first birthday. Here are a few from our warm time at the Dallas Arboretum's seasonal Pumpkin Village.

Katie's Newborn Session

Two good friends of mine, Stephen and Anna, recently introduced Katie to the world. When they contacted me about commemorating Katie's welcome, I gladly drove to their home to make some portraits.

I'll be the first to admit sitting on these sessions are not always easy as it appears, as there is a level of unpredictability with a newborn. Though, there is a sense of new-found love that permeates the air. Like a life reset in-a-kind-of-way. An emotional high that can never be taken away from a parent I can only imagine. That said, their session reminded me of this feeling after photographing some families 2nd or 3rd child. 

Here are a few from our time together. Welcome, Katie!

Moody Family - Dallas Arboretum

I have to personally thank the Moody family for photographing on a hot Texas summer day. It wasn't easy, but the three charged through it. We spent a morning session at the Dallas Arboretum, celebrating Leena's first birthday.
