almost a disaster | Dallas Children's Photographer

A few posts ago I promised you more cuteness from Mr. G.... and boy did he deliver!!! Well, I can't post these pictures though without telling you the story behind them. So we have rescheduled this shoot a few times. This was our 3rd attempt due to weather, and it rained AGAIN on this day! We decided to just go for it no matter what. We just thought rain was our biggest worry.... who would have guessed that a mega busted lip and LOTS of blood would be what our real concern was?!?! Mr. G fell and busted his lip right open. I am talking gushing blood. Oh it was heartbreaking!!! After the shock subsidded and he had an ice cream to make it feel better, we began shooting. Despite rain, blood and a shaken up mama, his 1 year portraits turned out super cute. He is a trooper!!!! Happy (late) birthday G. XOXO

It's My Party | Brithday Party Photographer

One of my favorite sessions are the "It's My Party" sessions! This is a 2 part package that captures your child's birthday portraits / smash the cake and then their birthday party. To get the details, click HERE. Click on "details" then "it's my party".

I photographed this birthday boy back in Septmeber for his 6 month session. Remember this priceless picture...

I had a lot of fun capturing his birthday party. His mom went ALL OUT!!! You'll have to go to my facebook page to see more of the pictures. I swear she needs to go into party planning!!! Here are a few images from his party. I'll have more pictures of this cutie during the week because I will see him and his family again on Sunday for another session!!!! More cuteness to come....

Cupcake Birthday

I had a great time photographing little Miss S's 1st birthday party. The theme was cupcakes and it was so cute! Cupcake pinata, cupcake cake, cupcake bib, and the list goes on. The colors were beautiful, Miss S was in the BEST mood, family was gathered, and the party was perfect.

I was able to capture every tiny detail that might have otherwise gone unnoticed or have been forgotten- the first taste of cold ice cream, the birthday hat hanging on the chair, the first time Happy Birthday was sung to Miss S, or Mom's handwriting on the calendar. I LOVE photographing special moments like these.

She's turning 1 so she had to smash the cake!!

This family is beautiful! I had a blast with them. We found some unique places for this shoot and it made for amazing pictures. I tried to only pull out my favorites from this session but there are soooo many. Birthday girl was in a great mood so mom and dad were too (we all know how that goes). It was super hot out, but you would never know with all of these smiles. I am so thrilled with how great these pictures came out!

This natural frame was begging for a picture.

So I never pose my clients... except for this one picture. It always looks awesome and different with every family.

Speechless.....

I told you.... a beautiful family.

She wanted nothing to do with sitting up for this shot. She must have known that her rear end made for a great picture too.

An urban twist on the "walking away" idea.

And the SMASHING begins.......

This session ended with the birthday girl getting a bath in the park's fountain. We figured no one was going to arrest us with the birthday girl there. Those were some great pictures too. Smashing the Cake sessions are a blast at any age.... no need to stop after the 1st year. Keep it up, just have more napkins ready.
