Oh Addison. I sure love this little girl. From her gorgeous blue eyes to her dainty pink toenails. Her energy is abundant, sass overflowing, and smirks...totally worth it. She was excited about the confetti party for about two seconds, until she realized it meant she was going to get dirty. Then, she was just plain mad at me and her momma, which of course, we thought was pretty hilarious. Luckily, we were forgiven thanks to a cupcake and a wardrobe change. I'm sure glad your

Because I'm strictly a portrait photographer and have decided not to dabble in weddings, I don't get contacted all that often for engagement photos. So when Lina reached out to chat about a session to celebrate her recent engagement to Kris, I was giddy. Hanging out with a lovey-dovey couple and getting to gush over fresh bling...um, yes please! I started out the session with my usual spiel about how the first few minutes will feel awkward, and that's true for everyone, regar

Has anyone been stocking up on memory cards or clearing off phone space in anticipation of all the sweet pictures that you’ll be taking of your kiddos in the next coming months? 🙋 I can’t tell you guys how many times I hear from clients/family/friends “I have a ‘big’ camera, but my pictures don’t look like your’s; what am I doing wrong?” or “How do I get my photos to look more professional?” or “do I really need to spend a crazy amount of money on a camera to get better pict

There is something so amazing about being inspired. Actually, everything about being renewed by inspiration is amazing. And every single thing about this location was inspiring. I've driven by these silos a million times and have ached to shoot here. I'm such a sucker for great textures, glowing light, and accessibility (it's a HUGE deal for my clients with little kiddos and one of the first things I take into consideration when scouting). The steel, rust, concrete...it just

A professional dancer + a Texas boy = a long, little lady with a gorgeous head of hair. All twenty-two inches of Miss Vivian were such a pleasure to have in the studio a couple of weeks ago. Although this little love did not want to sleep during most of her session, I was not complaining one bit about the extra snuggles that I got to sneak in. While she really liked having her arms swaddled in tightly, it was nearly impossible to keep her long legs tucked in...she was almost

...that was more than love. - Edgar Allan Poe Last week, I had the pleasure of photographing the couple's maternity shoot for Renata and Mehmet. They are expecting their first baby, a sweet little girl, in just a few weeks. These two could not be more sweet or fun to hang out with, even though it was sooooo hot during their session! Mehmet is already such the doting dad, and Renata is just radiant. As I was snapping Renata's solo pictures, her hubby stood off to side and just

I love holiday weekends! While we have lots of plans for just about every day until the hubby goes back to work next week, I also have a little bit of extra time for editing. I'm so excited to deliver Ximena's first birthday shoot to her mommy. This was such a fun session because this little girl cannot take a bad picture. Her eyes, smile, hair, and lashes are a photographer's dream. Not to mention all of her adorable outfits! She's going to have a boho themed birthday party,
