Baby Chiara | Katy, TX Newborn Photographer

Alright y’all, this was one of my last sessions before the pandemic hit. I have to be honest, I am so behind on blogging (I always am), but I thought with the quarantine I’d finally get it all done…NOPE!! With my husband working from home, it’s been a struggle to squeeze in computer time, since the kids follow me wherever I go like adorable but loud little ducklings…I’m determined to get caught up though!

I was blessed to do newborn photos for this sweet family here in Old Katy. This is their first child, a sweet girl named Chiara! We did this in-home newborn session in the morning, and she slept so well for all of it! Since it was overcast and we had the warmth of spring, we did some photos outside too. Momma also requested that we incorporate her veil from their wedding, and since I LOVE lace, I thought it was an excellent idea that would ass a soft, feminine, personal touch to the photos. I believe this precious girl is named after Blessed Chiara of Italy, who gave her whole life to Jesus in her dying moments (after a diagnosis of bone cancer). May you live for Christ as Blessed Chiara did. I have no doubt she will accomplish big things!

Yet another sweet family that is a blessing to continually work with. Thank you for always coming back to me! It means the world to me when you love my photos so much.

Baby {Sadie} | Katy Family Photographer

Another session I'm SUPER late to blogging, but that's new there? Summer has been a busy, busy time around here trying to keep my own kiddos entertained each day, while also maintaining the lawn, and the house...life is never ending! Nonetheless, this Katy family photographer keeps on chugging on through it all, because I love being able to capture these precious, nuanced moments that you can't get back once gone. I lament often that I can't capture my own moments for myself and my own children. Well, I CAN, it's just much harder to do it myself. I'm so glad though, for every chance that I get to do it for others!

This family was so so SWEET. I enjoyed every moment with them, and hopefully sweet little Sadie is letting her parents get a little more sleep these days. Her little brother Liam was full of personality, and even though it was Sadie's moment in the spotlight, I was very glad I got some photos of momma reading with her oldest child, since I know firsthand the struggle that comes for little ones with learning to share mommy! Seriously though, there were so many fantastic shots from this session, it was incredibly hard to narrow down. Check out more of the wonderful family below.

I love using items unique to each of my families in their newborn sessions! It makes the photos so much more personal.

Baby {Amber} | Katy, TX Family Photographer

You guys, this session was so incredibly special to me. I never in a million years though ANY of my cousins would ever have children. Honestly, in our families, the burden of children mostly rests on my husband and I, which we're fine with. We both came from pretty small families ourselves, and growing up I always knew my kids would never have many, if any, cousins. It just is what it is. Yet somehow, the day FINALLY came and one of my cousins decided to take the leap!! And I'm so, so excited for the memories our kids will get to make together. Little Amber is just under a year apart from our Sabrina. I'm so glad my kids will have someone to play with at the holidays now, which speaking of, this is also so heartbreaking at the same time because my aunt (his mom) just passed away this Christmas. She never got to see the grandchild she was always begging for. It was a bittersweet Christmas this year for sure, but seeing this sweet baby brings only joy. I can't wait to watch her grow! Welcome to the wild side, Amber!
