Meagan and Anabelle's Urban Portrait Session - Fort Worth, Texas

Meagan of Camille & Grace Photography is one of my closest photographer friends, and a beautiful subject! She introduced me to this super cool, urban location near Downtown Fort Worth. I absolutely love the textures and deconstructed look, especially with their adorable Fall outfits (even if it doesn't FEEL like fall yet in Texas!) 

Law Maternity Session - Richardson, Texas

I was so excited to be able to do Arron and Cathy's maternity portraits at a new location! I made the trek from Fort Worth to Richardson to Prairie Creek Park. They have a beautiful (and easily accessible) waterfall that was just amazing! 

Baby Landon made his big debut shortly after these photos were taken! 

Rudy and Cooper's TCU Family Session - Fort Worth, Texas

Typically, when I head to a session that includes a teenage, or pre-teen boy, I give myself a little pep talk (let's just say that family portraits aren't usually a teenage boy's favorite thing to do!). I didn't have any worries with Rudy and Cooper. Cooper has to be the most polite and most cooperative young man that I have ever had the pleasure of photographing. 

Not to mention how PHOTOGENIC these guys are. Aren't they GORGEOUS? (The doggies, too!) 

Rudy is the Best Friend of MY Best Friend, which makes her my extend BFF Family! I was so excited to be able to spend my evening capturing these images of her beautiful family. 

Michaela's Fall Senior Session - Fort Worth, Texas

Michaela, a Senior at Northwest High School, and I had a blast at her Fall Senior Session. Her first session (check it out HERE) was SUPER windy and much dressier, so we decided to do a more casual session at Eagle Mountain Park in Fort Worth to capture some images in her tennis gear, and to celebrate her BIG NEWS! Michaela is going to be an Aggie! 

Congrats, Sweetheart! I know you will do GREAT things at A&M!

Happy Mother's Day - Heather and Julia - Saginaw Texas Photographer

Mother's Day is rough for anyone who is Motherless. The days and weeks leading up to the Sunday are torture. I have even avoided grocery shopping at Wal-Mart or Target, to bypass the onslaught of pink roses and "Love you, Mom" balloons. What I will never avoid though, is photographing mothers and children together. I had such a wonderful time capturing the bond between Heather and Julia in their Mommy & Me session in a wildflower field in Fort Worth, Texas. 

 

Ashlyn - Saginaw, Texas Senior Portraits

Hello Everyone! Meet Ashlyn: My Class of 2016, Senior Representative, Homecoming Queen, and all-around sweetheart! I am SO glad that I had an opportunity to capture part of Ashlyn's Senior year, from Senior Portraits in the Fall leaves, to her cap and gown and prom dress portraits. Ashlyn is one of a kind, and is going to SHINE at TCU next year. 

Ashlyn's portraits were taken at Eagle Mountain Park near Saginaw and the Fort Worth Stockyards! 

 

 

Katie's "Marilyn" Inspired Bridal Portraits

I am always nervous when shooting at an unknown location, and was especially nervous when I pulled through the gates of a huge private estate in Mansfield for Katie's bridal portraits. The location was picture-perfect, as was the bride, and I am so thrilled that I was able to capture the "Marilyn Monroe" Old Hollywood inspired look that Katie was going for! 

Katie's natural beauty was enhanced by the soft curls and striking makeup. 

And no Hollywood glam session is complete without a staircase and a baby grand piano! 

Thank you to everyone who helped to make this shoot a success! 

Hair and Make-up: Jessica Legg, Hair in the Heights
Venue: Private Residence in Mansfield
 

A Sweet Shabby Chic First Birthday

I had the pleasure of photographing this sweet little cherub for her first birthday. Not only was little Miss F an angel, but her mom came so prepared with perfect outfits, handmade banners, and a super cute little cake! With some simple additions from my studio closet, this became one of my favorite first birthday sessions yet!
