The stunning "s" girls-DFW child photographer

I posted their family pictures last blog post, but these girls deserved a post of their own. I normally do pictures of children that are the age of my own so I am used to chasing them and making silly faces. These girls were the perfect age and really wanted to have great pictures. The moment I saw them I knew I wanted some pictures of them with serious faces. It was a little tough at first, but then they wanted to do them every time. I had to coax them to smile. They are stunning little women and were such a pleasure to photograph.






And who doesn't love a picture of daddy with his daughters?

Remember the fall?-DFW Family Photographer

It seems like there is a time warp on many photographer's blogs. We lose the fall as we try to edit and get out Christmas cards for all of our clients. I am trying to go back and update my blog for some of my fall sessions. This family sessions was one of my favorite. First, they are a gorgeous family. Second, mom knocked it out of the park with their styling. I may have to post individual pictures of the girls in another post. I just loved some many of their family shots I thought I would dedicate one post to them!

Natalie's maternity session-Denton, TX maternity photographer

My friend defnitely had that maternity glow about her. She made pregnancy look so effortless and she looked amazingly gorgeous in this natural setting. I can't wait to meet her baby girl and watch her grow. It has been such a privilege to make friends through the process of being their photographer and documenting all their life changes.

I heart faces-best face of 2011

How could I possibly pick a best face from all my images last year? I decided to use a picture of my friend Nicole. Her image placed in the top ten for people's choice. I loved our little session, which was used for my cultivating confidence series. If you aren't a regular reader on my blog, you have to check it out. It is one of my favorite projects!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all who come across my blog! I am so thankful for another year of doing what I love in my "spare" time. For those of you who don't know me personally, photography is my fourth job-wife, mom, accountant (yes-accountant) and photographer. It is my outlet and a very special gift. I am so thankful that I found it and I am so thankful I see things a little differently because of it.

Part of my job is photographing newborns. I get to meet little humans as they start their journey. They are beautiful, undefiled, and full of promise. I consider it an honor to get to meet them at this precious time. I also get to see parents, many of them first time parents, as they begin their journey. There are no words for the immediate expanding of your heart that happens when you become a parent. I love getting to talk to parents about it.

I had one particular photo that really struck me as I began to think about this blog post. In thinking of the true meaning of Christmas-the birth of Christ-I was humbled. I thought about how much God loved us and gave his only precious son. I thought about how he allowed him to come to earth to stand in the gap for us. As a parent I cannot imagine giving my son so that others could live and yet that is what was done for us. I leave you with this picture of a precious child and ask you to think about his gift to us. He loves you and he loves me. What better gift could we receive?

Merry Christmas, friends!
