November 3 - Thankful Post

This month I am participating in a photo group where we post a daily photo of something for which we are thankful.I will post some of them on my blog, too.

 November 3, 2012

 I am thankful to have my photography considered art, printed large, and displayed so beautifully in people's homes! I can't wait to post some sneak peeks from this couple's newborn session that was today!

 I love everything about this session! I love this family! I love this baby! I love this home! I love lifestyle photography! I could have easily posted 50 photos on this blog sneak peek without hesitation. I also loved their maternity session by the way! You can check it out here. You'll notice the guitar makes a guest appearance during both sessions. Looks like Newborn I is going to be gorgeous just like her Mommy!

At this point in my life, I cannot commit to being on-call for birth sessions, though in the future I'd love to do them! This type of session is almost as touching for me. Before becoming a Mommy, I never would be able to truly understand how emotional it is to have a baby... to look at a baby and think - I made this. She's all mine. I love being able to share these special moments with families. First baby, first 24 hours of life, first tears of joy. There will be so many more tears to come (for so many reasons), but the first - were from joy and disbelief that any baby could be so perfect.

Isn't Mommy-to-be C absolutely beautiful?! I can't wait to meet their little one later this month! It's so fun getting to photograph first time parents. It's such an amazing and special time! I don't know if anything matches it.

I first met Newborn B's Mommy years and years ago when she was a student. She was a student during my first year of teaching. I have always adored T, but to see her as a Mommy was something else. She is so in love with little B. But, as you can see, with this face - how could you not love her?

The O Family {Lifestyle Family Photography}

This is one of my favorite families to shoot ever! I love when a family wants a session that will truly capture them as a family. I know many Grandmas want that perfectly posed, smiling photo, but these "real" photos are the ones that really tug at my heart. I am so thankful I was able to photograph this family. Congratulations on your new addition!

Newborn B {Hospital Newborn Photography}

Hospital Newborn sessions have become one of my favorite types. Nothing can ever recapture these first precious days with your newborn. I love to show who absolutely magical a Mommy and Daddy's love for this teensy tiny baby they have just met. I love it!

The V Family

I love when I get to photograph newborns with older siblings. It's so fun! Here are some shots of this adorable family! These two big sisters LOVE their new little brother.

I LOVE when I get to document a family's growth through my photography. I first photographed this family when they were newly a family of three. Now, for my third session, they are a family of four! Their two little girls couldn't be sweeter! I can't wait to watch them get bigger and discover the joy of sisterhood.

Newborn A {Fulshear Newborn Photographer}

Newborn A was just as cute as cute can be! She was a perfect angel during our session. Look at her glowing Mommy, too! This little one is going to be loved!!! I look forward to photographing her again in 6 months!

Newborn K

Little K was sound asleep when I arrive and only woke right before I left. He was a perfect little angel! How handsome is he!??! I think this was my shortest newborn session ever since usually feeding breaks and soothing breaks take up so much time. K was a delight!

Baby T: Quick Peek

Baby T is absolutely adorable! He has the perfect gerber round face, beautiful eyes, gorgeous hair, and a killer smile! This little man is 3 months old and I look forward to documenting his growth over the next year. I have a feeling he's just going to get cuter! I love this photo of him with his beautiful Mommy where he's pulling her hair. I love "real life" images like this. You can tell his one is loved and loves him Mommy and Daddy already. What a cute family!

Newborn S {Houston Area Newborn Photographer}

Oh my goodness! I love baby rolls as much as I love baby toes! Newborn S is so stinking adorable!

Newborn A {Houston Area Newborn Photographer}

Mommy loves running! These are the shoes that got her to Boston!

This was A's Daddy's when he was a baby!
