Blue Eyed Baby Blues

Kimi is the sister of another one of my favorite clients. I photographed her earlier this year while she was still pregnant.The forecast predicted rain and gunk so I jumped the gun and moved her session to the middle of the day. When we arrived in Port Aransas... there was not a cloud in the sky. Fully on, noon sun. I was a little devastated.

I offered to photograph her again in the future once the baby arrived to make it up to her since she lives in Houston (about 4 hours north of here). So with her sweet girl turning six months old, and her nephew arriving last week, Kimi made the trip down again. And wouldn't luck have it that her sweet girl started teething on the way down.

I felt so bad for the little sweetie, but you know what? These are some of my very favorite images. Sweet girl just melts into her parents arms, the way us mamas always want to remember our babies.

This is what photographic authenticity is about, and I'm forever grateful for clients who appreciate it.

Janae & Babe at Home

Upon hearing that I was coming to Fort Worth, this mama contacting me saying she would love for me to photograph her and her sweet girl in their nursery. She said "It's all white and people tell me all the time that I should have pictures done in it."

Uhm. Hello. WHY no other photographer has taken her up on this before?! I'll never know.

From Janae: "MAE! Thank you so much for doing our pictures. They're what I have always wanted and dreamed of. Nursing my sweet baby in an all white nursery, like a little slice of heaven. Breastfeeding is flying by and I know it won't last forever (at least I hope not) so as I get up over and over in the night, I just gotta say "LORDDD GIVE ME PATIENCE PUHLEASEEEEEEE". Then as Ive been sitting up there the past couple weeks, I can't help but think how much of a bond we've formed through this. Breastfeeding is a blessing and I'm grateful it's been an easy journey for us, because I know it's not the case always. I'm so excited to have these photographs to cherish these soon to be memories of the countless hours spent giving my babe her "delicious treat". You are one gifted mama! The Lord will use you to touch people with your talent. "

Miss E

During my last visit to Fort Worth, I had several sessions booked indoors.But I knew better than to try and wrangle a toddler inside, so we met at one of my favorite fields in Hurst. This pretty babe was PERFECTION. Smiled, followed me wherever I needed her to go, let me play with her - all the things that are crucial to amazing images. When parents trust me to just do my thing with their sweet ones, our sessions run SO smoothly, and her parents did just that.

I cannot wait to photograph this beautiful little one again!

(and Fort Worth, Don't forget that I'll be back your way towards the end of the month!)
