Kennedy {Burleson, TX Child Photography}

Beautiful Kennedy...is a quiet little girl.  She takes a while to warm up to new people.  She's a tough crowd when it comes to telling jokes.

Good thing her mamma knew how to get her laughing... stinky things and funny noises...it's gets them every time!



 Shelbi is her best friend...they even coordinated their outfits.  Mamma made the dress and the accessories for both Kennedy and Shelbi



This one makes my heart smile...it is so innocent and so sweet. 



Much Love

Payton {Newborn Photography; Trophy Club, TX}

Meet little Payton.  You met their mommy and daddy HERE



Sweet Payton was only 10 days new when I had the honor of spending some time with her.  She was little bitty and snuggly and all the great things that newborns are.  What she was not.....was sleepy.  But awake or asleep, she was happy and beautiful.


 
Mom and Dad are so blessed to welcome Payton into their world.  She is a lucky little girl to have two parents that adore her. 


Let me also point out one thing for all new parents considering newborn photographers.  Finding a place in your home...or the home you choose to have your newborn session take place...is the key to beautful images.  I do all newborn sessions with natural light.

What does that mean?  That means that I do not use flashes or studio lighting.  I find a place in your home that has a LOT of light coming in.  It might be right inside your front/back door.  It might be in your living room that has beautiful sunlight streaming in.  For Payton's session...the upstairs of their home had this amazing sky light that lit up the hallway like you just can't imagine. 

All images you see are strictly with the natural light that was available in their home. 
So...... if you are going to schedule a newborn session.  Take a look around first and make sure that you have someone in your home that has good sunlight coming in.  It truly doesn't matter what the house or the room looks like...I bet you never would have guessed all of these were done in a hallway. 
















Ok...sorry - back to this beautiful little girl!  Taylor (mommy) and I were talking and she made the comment that she never thought she would dress her daughter up in pink and ruffles...


Aren't you as glad as I am that she did???  Just beautiful.  I think that one should be blown up to a big 30x40 canvas in Payton's room. 


look at this sweet little mouth! 
 

I am going to end with this image of Payton and her Daddy... he is so in love with his daughter and I love how sweet they both look here.


 

Much Love

Roberts - there is more to come! 

I love you!  Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your day.

Owen Tilly {Newborn Photography; Tulsa, OK}

She is a precious little girl. With a name like Owen Tilly, how could she not be fabulous??




Little Owen was 19 days new...and wide awake.


The best part of my job...as I tell every mother that is stressing out because her little one won't go to sleep when we want them to....is that I get to snuggle with these amazing little bundles. 

Newborn sessions are unpredictable.  You never know how they will do.  They could have slept all day every day and sure enough the day I arrive to do their session...they won't go to sleep no matter how much we snuggle, rock, bounce and shush them.  Out of town clients have a slight disadvantage, because we really only have one shot to get the session done. 

So little Ms. Owen didn't get near as many images as we would have hoped...but I love the ones we did capture.


Even the fussy ones.  Because really...it happens. 

Mom and Dad - I love ya both! 

Much Love
Brooke

Jesse Jennings

I have said it before, but I am truly blessed to meet the people that I do.  I met Jesse Jennings about 3 years ago.  My husband and I were eating dinner and Jesse was playing a live accoustic show.  He is a great friend of some of our best friends.


Jesse truly has a voice that is amazing.  He is so passionate about his music and you can see it in everything he does. 
He is kind hearted and such a gentlemen.




Fast forward to a few months ago and we started talking about this super great opportunity that might happen for him..if it did, he was going to need to new photos.

{Woot Woot!!  Holla!  Heck yeah I'll do them!}



As it turns out...the great opportunity happened and now he is on hiw way to something big!  So one evening a few weeks ago, we headed out for his session and I am so happy with the end result.  Jesse is such a great person, inside and out.  He is super talented and one day soon will take this world by storm.



In the meantime...I'll listen to his music as I drive to and from work and really any chance I get.  I'll go watch him perform when I can...and know that one day...he will amaze the world with his voice, his heart, and his kind soul.


Oh....you wanna hear him too??? ok....just go to his local music site http://www.reverbnation.com/jessejennings


Jesse - you won both Casey and I over a long time ago, you have made my kids become groupies (and talent evaluators), and I am truly honored to call you a friend.

Much Love

Reyna and her boys

I love love love referrals.  And I really love it when they are fabulous people! 



Check out how beautiful Reyna is


We met in the Fort Worth Stockyards and her little guy instantly scoped out the balloon guy. 



One thing I have learned over the years....let the kids have fun.  The pictures will be WAY better when they get to goof off in between the serious pictures.  They have more fun...and quite honestly, so do I!



I love the how much you can feel their love in this next one



p.s.  I am totally voting for this one as their family Christmas card this year....I mean comeon!

Ava {child photography, Colleyville, TX}

Look at this big girl!  Isn't she precious?


The first time I had the pleasure of meeting her...she looked like this


Now, she is full of smiles


and giggles


and raspberries.



Ava has just figured out how to sit up, and for the most part she did fabulous.  We only had a few times were she looked like a tree being tipped over in a forrest.  Sweet thing would just sloooooowwwwwwwly fall over. 



She is also a very determined little girl


One hour, 4 outfit changes and a couple of crazy people making faces at her...I think she did remarkable.



Much Love little Ava to you and your mommy!
