Katy, TX Lifestyle Family Photographer | Todd 1-Year Shoot {Sneak Peak}

On Sunday, while most moms were probably taking a break from work, I got to truly celebrate the gift of motherhood (in addition to snuggling my own little one, of course) by shooting this little guy's 1-year pictures! He did superb for his shoot, serving up smiles and sweetness that would melt any mother's heart. He is such an easy-going and enjoyable little boy, and I was so overjoyed to capture this special day for him. While it didn't rain (luckily!), I was a bit disappointed at just how overcast the sky was that day. But that's just part of the outdoor photography struggle - gotta work with what nature gives you! And she doesn't always cooperate. However, by happy accident! We stumbled upon a sundial! And while posing him next to the "1," noticed that May (aka, his birth month), lined up PERFECTLY on the ground with the shot! How cool was that? I love exciting moments like these. Hopefully you find him as precious as I do!

Katy, TX Lifestyle Family Photographer | {Bailey + Finley}

Ok, I just have to start off by saying this is the most magical and whimsical shoot I've ever done. My style is evolving with every shoot I do, and I eventually hope to create some truly magical art in the future as I grow, and I'm proud of the start presented here. I love shooting these girls. This was my second time with them, and for being just shy of two years old, they did spectacularly! They are such an inquisitive pair, and these photos really captured that. Bailey is SO outgoing, and I love how you can see the relationship they have together, her leading the way most of the time with "sissy" following cautiously behind. I can't wait to see how they continue to grow!

Katy, TX Lifestyle Family Photographer | {March Showers}

"April showers bring May flowers," as the old saying goes. However, with all the recent rain here in Texas, these march showers are giving way to some gorgeous greenery of their own! Warmer weather and big puddles mean a good time for little toddlers, so I could 't resist getting out there with my daughter during the latest bout of rain! And, since I'm currently mulling over what kind of mini sessions I may want to offer up this spring, I figured what better time to see what kinds of rainy day photos I could get! So...be on the lookout for what's to come! And check out our session below.

AND what would a shoot with a toddler be without this beautiful image?

This is why I love lifestyle photography! ;)
