The "L" Family - {Cypress, TX Couples Photographer}

This sweet hubby surprised his wife with a portrait session gift certificate for Christmas, and they decided to redeem it this week. It's always such a joy to work with couples, and we had a great time. I hope you enjoy your sneak, K and R!

R & D {Cypress, TX Family Photographer}

This little family session was such a blast!! Wow, these two are sweet, fun, and sooooo photogenic!

Despite getting stuck (literally) at the beginning of the evening, the rest of the session couldn't have gone any better!! Thanks for a great shoot, R and D ... and Tootsie, too!

Introducing Charlie {Northwest Houston Newborn Photographer}

“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” {Psalm 139:14}

Last week a baby boy over 10 pounds, this week a little guy under 6 pounds ... both are PERFECT.

It was wonderful having the opportunity to photograph precious Charlie and his handsome brothers!

This may be my new favorite picture:

A Whole Lotta Baby Love {Cypress, TX Newborn Photographer}

Introducing the chubbiest, snuggliest, squishiest newborn I've ever had the pleasure to meet! This not-so-little guy was 10lbs 6oz when he was born 6 days ago! Wowza! He was a total dream to pose and slept for 99% of the session. I just couldn't get enough of those precious rolls!!

And the winner is ...

... Brandi Schattle!!

Thank you to my lovely assistant, Ella, who helped me with this VERY official drawing!

Before / After {Cypress, TX Child Photographer}

I thought it would be fun to share what my photos look like before they're edited.

Since I shoot in RAW, the images start out really dull looking because the camera doesn't compress, sharpen and boost the picture like it does in jpeg. I really like clean processing, where the images look like real life (but slightly better!) Some images take just a little bit of tweaking in Photoshop.

But sometimes it's fun to really push the processing, and I thought this image was the perfect candidate!

The "B" Family {Cypress, TX Family Photographer}

I had a really fun evening with this super sweet family. The sunlight was peeking through the clouds, the weather was nice, and the girls are as gorgeous as it gets! I got so many great pictures, it's going to be hard to narrow them down! Here's just a few for now ...

Gabriel IV / 5 Days {Cypress TX Newborn Photographer}

I loved having this sweet boy and his parents over yesterday. He was precious and perfect and oh, so tiny! He's very blessed to have two parents who are over-the-moon crazy about him! :)
