Houston TX Child Photographer

This session is from two months ago and i feel so bad for taking so long to blog it but here it is…  one of my favorite images is this one.

Aubrey is a SWEET SWEET girl who turned ONE and I was full of excitement that Kelly chose me to capture this very special moment for her. YES you have seen that cute face before specially those chubby cheeks… Aubrey was awesome as always… this is by far one of my favorite sessions. Love that i was able to include some of my favorite black and whites.

Can’t wait to see Aubrey’s sweet family this fall… and Speaking of FALL… to all my clients be on the look out for an email very soon I will be talking about what dates are available this fall for family sessions.

Houston weather has always been very unpredictable…. better word than kkk KRAZY!! LOL and if you are from the area you know what i’m talking about… and if you know me you know i prefer WINTER all year long… but sense becoming a mother i have learned to appreciate spring and summer and simply because this little girl absolutely loves the water I think i’ve mentioned it before… she’s like a fish, she could be in the water all day if it was up to her.

Sooo we were invited over to our sweet friends house and you probably know her she is an amazing person and photographer she captured some sweet images of my little and me last winter…

so of course i had to take some shots of her having a blast in the pool but Amy captured what happens underwater and i was just BLOWN away by her amazing eye.. take a look for yourself and check her underwater shots of Bella. all i know is a canvas is being ordered and it’s going in her room for sure.

Dear Child May | Houston Child Photographer

I was asked to join this amazing circle of photographers to write a letter to our child each month and i could’t say NO and if i would have i would of beat my self up for it. YES a little over dramatic but…. i think it’s a great way to remember a little about each month and save it for them to see when they grow older. so stick around for each months blog post and remember that it’s every 20th of each month. 

Dear Izabella,

you are such an independent spirit little girl, you can’t be held under four walls, you love your freedom and i love that about you. You have such an amazing kind little heart that grows and grows each day which makes me want to squeeze you even more. I have found my self staring at you more often than usual and i go in to this daydream and see  you at thirteen years old… call me crazy but i’m scared of time passing by to fast (which I’m completely grateful because you are such a healthy child) and not being able to sync everything in. Explorer at it’s finest, i can see you packing up and leaving to explore what’s out there for you, not being afraid of anything and enjoying every bit of it. I see you in the backyard dancing freely, playing hula hoop (which by the way you have gotten so good at,) riding in your yellow/red car and see that that’s who you are and EXPLORER, who takes what she has in front of her and makes the best of it. That’s the kind of girl you are becoming and i’m not a zodiac kinda of gal but I heard someone say “you would always want a sagittarius girl ” and i didn’t even know what sign you where till days before this LOL… I know i know, but of course i googled it and to my surprise you are a sagittarius and it described you perfectly. And it doesn’t surprise me at all.

You know i’m always behind the camera capturing those special moments which i LOVE and i remember reading this blog post about making an effort to get in pictures with your children more often and not just say that you will but actually DO IT, which i promise to do more often because i recently asked my mom if she had any images of her and i together and she said no because she was usually the one taking them 🙁  ….. so yes it was 7pm and i was doing a little editing getting ready to put you to bed and you came and hugged me and glad i had my camera next to me ready to go maybe a little out of focus but BAM a very special moment between you and me.
