A long time ago (yes, I’m old enough to have a “long time ago” story), I worked in the prisons down in Texas. You meet all sorts of interesting characters in that line of work…. And so, I’ve met and worked with many different people from many different walks of life, and never, in all of my travels, have I met anyone as strong as these two expecting parents. Their story is one of persistence, endurance and flat out faith. I am so excited that they are about to be blessed with life’s most precious gift, and I’m awfully excited that I get to document it too!

Keep on going, and the chances are that you will stumble on something, perhaps when you are least expecting it. I never heard of anyone ever stumbling on something sitting down.

I love when clients bring a unique prop to their sessions. It makes the pictures even more personal and special. These cool parents brought dad’s fireman helmet with the neat idea of having their baby girl sleeping in it, instead of a basket. Unfortunately, she was just too big! I still think we got a great shot incorporating it. Do I see a daddy’s girl in the making?

There’s nothing sweeter than siblings getting along because you know that it won’t last forever! I love capturing these sweet moments between older brother and baby bro. In a couple years, you know there’s going to be some roughhousing between these two, so let’s enjoy these special moments until then.

Although it takes a lot of work and coordination, I love when I get the chance to spend a day with not just one family, but several! It makes these mini sessions so rewarding being able to reconnect with past clients as their little ones have changed so much from the newborn I took photographs of only a few months ago. I love to see them grow and oh how they grow!! Here are some of my favorites from a recent session up at Ridley Creek State Park.

I love love LOVE it when a family comes to me to celebrate their heritage and the beauty of their culture. Nothing makes me happier than to embrace and celebrate the wonderful nuances that make up America.
We shot these at Ridley Creek, on a day that was beautiful and perfect for exploring. A beautiful, amazing family, and two energetic and adorable girls. What’s better than that?
