Booking a Baby Plan With Our Studio - Houston Baby Photographer

Offering a unique Baby Plan experience, our studio provides Houston's best baby and milestone photography plans, allowing families to document and cherish each stage of their little one's journey from maternity to toddlerhood.

From capturing the first smiles and giggles to the baby's first steps, these sessions provide a cherished record of the baby's growth and development.

  4. Choosing the Fine Art Prints & Cherishing the Year of Memories - At the completion of each Houston Baby Plan, clients have the opportunity to choose from a variety of tangible fine art print products.

Pearland Baby and Family Photographer | Kollins Six Month

Kollins Six Month & Family Session

Oh, my goodness, y’all – cuteness overload! I love this family so much, and I’m enjoying watching their two sweet kiddos grow. Baby Kollins came back to see me for her six-month milestone session, and Mom decided she wanted a family session outdoors this time. Kollins’ six-month birthday happened to land right around fall time in Texas, so we had some lovely cool weather with a gorgeous fall sunset the night of their session.

Although it comes in a very small window, fall is always one of my favorite times to do outdoor portraits in Texas! You can definitely see how much personality baby Kollins has in these images. She loves the outdoors, and she was full of smiles, which made it such a fun session! (I think it might have had something to do with her playful brother being by her side.)

She borrowed a few wardrobe options from my studio collection as well as the adorable floral crown. Baby girls and flowers are always a perfect combination in my opinion! She has the most gorgeous blue eyes I’ve ever seen, so the light blue, coral, green, and pink colors really made them stand out even more. What a beauty!

We made sure to capture both family images as well as several individual photos of Kollins during this session. I always encourage families to participate in their baby's milestone sessions as it helps baby adjust to the situation AND creates gorgeous family memories for them to cherish and look back upon. These sibling portraits are priceless! I know their parents adore them, but I guarantee they’ll be equally treasured by Kollins and her brother when they grow up. Their bond is something special, and what an honor it was to capture these moments for them.

Happy half birthday, baby Kollins! I can’t wait to see this crew back in a few months.

League City Baby Photographer

League City Baby Photographer

And here she is! Ellis is six months old – and so full of personality! If you missed it, check the previous post for her adorable 4thof July themed newborn and family session! This gorgeous girl has grown so much since I last saw her. She transformed from a sleepy little snuggle bug into a bright-eyed wiggle worm! The six-month milestone is one of my favorites because they’re so interactive and curious, wanting to explore anything they can get their hands on. The toothy grins are my absolute favorite!

For baby Ellis’ milestone sessions, Mom requested that I come to their gorgeous home in League City and photograph their family in their "natural environment.” Lifestyle sessions are some of my favorites because I can really capture the full personalities of each member and the sweet candid moments of everyday life together. We really did it up, and I had so much fun being a fly on the wall as they did their thing, which meant lots of smiles and tickles on Mom and Dad's bed, an extra bubbly bath with popsicles, strawberries for snack time, and some naked baby fun in Ellis' nursery! Not to mention that her outfits were cute as can be! Look at Ellis’ beautiful velvet headband and floral PJs along with her older brother’s cute striped jammies!

No matter what fun activity was next (or what mess was being cleaned up), there was SO MUCH LOVE in this house. I truly feel like this session was pure magic, and I hope other families will want to do in-home lifestyle baby sessions more often! The love and priceless moments together far outshine any imperfections you might see when you look at the house. (I get it, I’m a mom, too. But trust me on this!)

Happy six months baby Ellis! So much love to you all!

Kollins Newborn Portraits

Kollins Newborn Portraits

This little cutie patootie put on an endless show of priceless expressions for me to capture – both awake and asleep! What a fun baby girl’s newborn session at the studio!

I've known this family for many years, and it was so great to reunite with them again. I grew up with her sister (we were cheerleaders together in high school), and we’ve all kept in touch some over the years. When she contacted me to let me know she wanted me to photograph her new baby girl's newborn photos, I was so ecstatic! I couldn’t wait to catch up and reminisce a little.

They came to my Pearland studio and were amazed at the number of props, headbands, wraps, and beautiful things I had in my studio collection for newborn sessions. (To be honest, I’m such a sucker for those things, and my collection just keeps growing!) After learning her style and how she has the nursery decorated, I kept the session very sweet and girly, with lots of pinks and floral details. Some photos are bright and cheerful with lots of bright pink, teal, and peach, while others are softer with blush-colored hues. Her baby girl is so gorgeous a looked so sweet in whatever set we put her in.

Check out her adorable faces below! She squinted, puckered, smiled, and snoozed. She even gave us a glimpse of her big beautiful eyes. Big brother was super sweet and very proud of his new sister. Some of their photos together are my favorites, and I have a feeling they’re Mom and Dad’s favorites, too – what a joy it is to watch sibling relationships bloom! I can already tell he is going to be the best big brother – and she will be very protected as she grows up!

I’m was so excited (and honored!) that they chose to book a baby plan, so I got to see them every few months for their baby girl's milestone photos. She is so beautiful and still so full of smiles! Check back in to watch her grow!

Hatfield Family Pregnancy Announcement Photos

Hatfield Family Pregnancy Announcement Photos

The first couple months of pregnancy come with a certain unique type of excitement. The expecting couple knows their little secret, but the rest of the world is completely unaware. Sometimes it’s kind of fun having big news that no one knows about, but at the same time, the couple is just counting down the days until they can announce it to the everyone! (I once had a client who shared the news with unsuspecting strangers while running errands around town because he just could not contain his excitement about their pregnancy, and he wasn’t allowed to share with family and friends yet – adorable! ) Bringing a tiny human into the world is no small thing!

The Hatfields are new clients, and they booked me so they could announce their pregnancy to their family and friends in a fun way! We shot this in my favorite field just south of Houston. I love this area because it feels so peaceful and quiet. The hanging moss makes the trees appear so enchanting as it blows in the breeze – a perfect backdrop for this sweet couple to savor this experience together.

They brought along a cute letter board and balloons to the session, so we had some options to share their exciting news. I love that they incorporated the sunshine yellow into their session. It really popped against the darker natural colors of the field and trees for bright and lively photos.

This is their first baby so it was a very exciting & special time for them! They ended up booking a baby plan so I had the honor of photographing their maternity and newborn session a few months later. Their little man had the best lips I have ever photographed on a newborn, so I'll be sure to share those in a later blog post! Stay tuned for this sweet story.

League City Newborn Portraits

League City Newborn Portraits

I've known this awesome family for many years as they are not only former clients but good friends! They truly are some of the nicest and most welcoming people you will ever meet. They were blessed with two handsome boys for their first two babies...so when baby #3 came along, and they found out it was a sweet baby girl, there was tons of excitement!

I was so grateful they trusted me with photographing baby Ellis’ newborn session, and mom and I worked hard to coordinate ideas and plans for her session. She was born right around July 4th so we made sure to incorporate that theme into a couple of her photos. They wanted classic yet unique photos, and I’m in love with how they came out – so perfect to show off all of little Ellis’ beautiful features. We also did lots of lovely pinks, pastels, and lace. She looked like a little doll snoozing away in her basket, and my heart melted when she showed off a sleepy little smile – a rare thing at a newborn shoot!

Ellis’ big brothers were so proud of their new baby sister, and their beaming adoration made from some seriously adorable sibling photos. Both handsome boys have such striking eyes, and the photo of the three of them together was pure perfection. I can’t wait to watch their sibling relationships develop over the years. This is one protected and loved little girl! They’ll be off like the Three Musketeers in no time. Have I mentioned how much I loved this family?!

Crazy enough, it has already been a year since this newborn session. They booked a Baby Plan, so I got to watch Ellis grow up this year, and it was such an honor and joy! She is a gorgeous baby girl with such a fun personality – she will keep those big brothers of her on their toes for sure!

Natural Light Houston Maternity and Family Photography | Konen Family

Natural Light Houston Maternity and Family Photography | Konen Family

Outdoor sessions are my favorite, especially when the weather is perfect. The fresh air and natural scenery just have a way of helping people relax and be themselves. On this particular evening with the Konen Family, we couldn’t have asked for a prettier day. A light breeze blew through the tall green grass, and we had the space all to ourselves as we explored our little area of the park.

The Konen’s are expecting their second little one…and it's a boy! I had the pleasure of photographing their daughter’s newborn session a few years ago so I've got to watch their family grow! This is definitely one of my favorite parts of my job! How much fun it will be to watch this brother and sister grow. After photographing so many families, I’ve noticed that brothers and sisters have such a sweet, unique bond. It’s funny to watch them play with trucks and tutus interchangeably, and it’s fun for the parents to watch their kiddos' own unique personalities develop, too. I’m so excited for them to meet their little man!

We shot these in League City at a park that offered a boardwalk surrounded nature and gorgeous evening light. Their little girl was adorable and full of personality. I’m so glad they brought her along, too, to capture this sweet transition and growth in their lives as a whole family. She is a hoot and her cute expressions and antics made for some adorable family images – lots of laughs caught on camera! I love the photos of her kissing Mom’s tummy and the two of them dancing on the path. She’s still pretty young, but I think she’s warming up to the idea of having a baby brother. I can tell already that they are going to have so much fun together, and he will have a hard time keeping up with his energetic sister! Check out their adorable maternity and family photos below!

Galveston Beach Maternity Session | H Family

Galveston Beach Maternity Session | H Family

Oh, what a glorious evening for this dreamy sunset maternity shoot. Who says you can’t get some stunning beach shots in Texas?! This was as peaceful as it gets.

This glowing mama-to-be is one of the most outstanding baby planners I know. She provides supportive and knowledgeable maternity consulting for families who are expecting. I hope she has had just as much support from family and friends throughout her pregnancy as she gives to others.

This is their first baby, and I was honored to photograph their announcement photo a few months earlier. Both of them are so easy-going and fun to work with. This beautiful couple is so in love as they eagerly wait for their little one to arrive, and we thought a beach session would match their personality perfectly. Plus, it served as a relaxing getaway for the two of them to spend some quality alone time together. I am so in love with this peaceful maternity shoot!

This beach was GORGEOUS, especially on this particular evening, and made for some magical maternity images. The waves lapped gently on the shore as layers of pastel blue, pink, and purple painted a marvelous sunset behind them. She wore an elegant dusty blue lace dress that really made her dark hair and beautiful features pop. Then, as it got darker, she switched to a flowing white gown that accentuated her bump perfectly. I love the bright white against the setting sun – it really highlighted the two of them and her growing bump.

I could not be more excited for this lovely couple.They will be the most wonderful parents to their little one, and I can wait to meet their bundle of joy in just a few short months.

Ready for your own relaxing maternity shoot to capture this exciting time as your family grows? Let’s get in touch!


Baby Giles Newborn Photography Session

This was our last session of 2018 and, coincidentally, scheduled it on the client's wedding anniversary. We all thought it was so neat! This is their first baby, so these sessions are held so dearly.

Have I mentioned how much I love doing boys’ sessions?  Most people think that little girls have more options (which may be some truth in that) but can we just stop and say that little boys steal so many hearts… usually for their whole lives?!  And being able to document that thud of a family’s heartbeat brings so much joy to me.  Jenna and I decided to stick with mostly neutrals for this session and decided to have fun with some prints for hat selections.  Mom and dad also loved this session, so I feel that we hit it out of the park with this one!  Giles slept so well and was such a chunk.  This combination makes for the most fun newborn sessions.

We stuck to neutrals when it came time to do the parent portraits.  These are timeless and classic- which generally never go outdated.  Since I specialize in displaying my artwork of your moments in your homes, I do like to get those timeless and classic shots. My goal is for you to be able to display them for years to come. Your portraits should grow with you as your family grows!

That said, I do love adding in those pops of colors to give your session a fun and artistic look to it, which is precisely what happened with that mustard and navy combination.  Great for a little boy and beautiful and fun to look at.

Side note: Giles’ name is special in that it came from relatives who had fought in the Texas revolution. How cool is that?  I love learning about my clients and their most precious, so do not be alarmed when I ask you these types of questions.  Happy Wednesday friends! <3

Houston Child Photographer | Joseph's Second Birthday

Did you open this post and think your web browser took you over to an advertisement for Baby Gap? I’ve been photographing this handsome little model baby since he was in his mommy’s womb, so I have loved watching him grow and develop his sweet personality over the past two years.

A Precious Keepsake

This vibrant shoot took place at the Sugar & Cloth Color Wall and Rainbow Staircase, right on the edge of downtown Houston. Sadly, it no longer exists :( —so these will be historic photos! The cheerful colors reflected Joseph’s joy and attitude perfectly. His silly grins and laughing faces are my favorite...capturing natural images of kids is always my goal! To get him in his element, I let him just explore and have fun. He checked out the staircase and showed his mom all the different colored stripes on the wall while I discreetly snapped away. I never want to over-pose kids because it hides their individuality (which is what most parents want to really highlight).

I pulled out a little stool and miniature wooden ladder as simple props for some up-close (somewhat) still shots. As with all two-year-olds, he was eagerly trying to climb up the ladder before I even had it set up! When he got to the top, he looked over at us triumphantly as if to say, “Did you see that? I did it!” I love that he has his little tongue sticking out as his focuses on his steps.

Joseph, I had a blast capturing this milestone year for you. You are one special guy! Happiest of birthdays!

What an amazing day Joseph and I had together. The opportunity to be his Houston Child Photographer was nothing short of an absolute joy!

Camila One Year Photo Session - Houston Warehouse Studio

Happy Wednesday, friends! I am so excited to be sharing this sweet Vintage One Year session with sweet Camila. We went to the Houston Warehouse Studios. This worked well for this sweet family (and me!) because we got to avoid any crazy Houston winter weather.

This is also a great option for any client that may be on a time crunch and cannot really fit reschedules into their scheduling. Rain? No problem! Cold winter days? No problem! And yep, HOT Houston days? No problemo!

This sweet family and I went with a beautiful vintage vibe. We managed to get a ton of Camila by herself along with some family shots- I always recommend doing this for one year sessions. Our children are probably the most important thing in our lives (aside from our sweet spouses), so naturally we want to catch those fleeting moments of them. However, your babies will want pictures of you one day, so please- jump in the frames!

One of my favorite additions to this session was the floral crown and tee-pee that I use. It looked absolutely stunning in front of that exposed brick wall. The natural lighting paired with those natural elements made these images look soft, inviting and aesthetically pleasing.

Be sure to scroll below to view the highlights from this session. And as always- I want to hear from YOU! So if you are looking for a photographer to document your most precious moments in life, be sure to reach out and get in touch!

Best Birthday Photographer in Houston | Elena's First Birthday Session

Just look at those sweet pouty little lips! Who couldn't help but fall in love with this sweet girl? I know I sure did! Elena is a part of our Baby Planner program, so I've had the pleasure of seeing her a few times over the past months. Each time I get to see her, I am reminded just how quickly time truly does pass.

An Absolutely Adorable Session

Mom brought along the ride-on-lamb with her, which made for some absolutely adorable shots. Just look at that smile! Can't you hear the sound of her laughter fill the air? My favorite part from the session though had to be when Elena donned her sweet little overalls. Swoon! Do you think they make those in my size?!

As a mama myself, I feel as though I blink once, and an entire year has passed before my very eyes. It's for this reason that I truly adore what I do as a child photographer. I am given the unique gift of providing parents with a snap-shot in time. What an amazing gift it is! As I walk through the halls of my home, I am always reminded of the endless laughter-filled memories and quiet peaceful moments I've shared with my babies.

Pearland Newborn Photographer | Charlotte

I am absolutely in love with this newborn session. Charlotte came to me at just a few short days old, and boy do I love those squishy baby cheeks! I had a ton of fun with this session, playing with moody tones and various textural elements. She was such a trooper throughout the entire session, hardly making a peep. In other words, a Pearland Newborn Photographer dream client!

A Photographer's Dream

We started our session wrapping little Charlotte in a mauve swaddling blanket, and laying her on layered blankets. Each accented the other perfectly. I wanted to add an additional feminine touch, so we placed a few sprigs of flowers and greenery around her. So adorable!!

One of my favorite shots from this session is of Charlotte surrounded entirely by varying shades of blue. It's definitely her color! I am loving this vintage floral trend I've seen sprout up lately. Crossing my fingers it's here to stay!!

Houston Family Photographer | Baby A's First Birthday Beach-Side Bash

This family ranks high amongst my favorites! They are Baby Planner clients of mine, so I have had the immense pleasure of capturing their maternity, newborn and one-year photos! Getting to see this family (and families like this) grow in numbers and in love brings me so much satisfaction and happiness as a family photographer.

A Golden-Light Sunset Session

We decided on a secluded beach for our golden-light sunset session together to celebrate their littlest one's first birthday. Happy birthday Baby A! It was the absolute perfect location, with plenty of room to play and explore, but boy was it WINDY! Nonetheless, we were able to get some truly stunning images of this family of five. I love how thoroughly they enjoyed their time together. Baby A has the most striking eyes, that were highlighted by our natural light environment. Although this session was in celebration of A's first birthday, I was sure to capture some images of each child individually. After all, these little ones grow up so fast! How could I resist documenting their growth?!

Initially, we had hopes of getting a few more individual swimsuit images of little bit (speaking of her swimsuit, make sure you sneak a peek!! SO cute!!), but this Texas day was just too chilly! I know... chilly and Texas in a sentence together. Weird right?! The best tool a photographer can have in their arsenal is the ability to go with the flow and be able to think on their feet. Especially one that works with little ones! Plan B turned out to be just an equally gorgeous option, as we decided to snuggle Baby A up in the warmest, softest blanket we could find. The sweet snuggles made for some breathtaking images that I'm sure will be cherished for years to come.

Pearland Studio Child Photographer | Charlize Studio Milestone Session

Pearland Studio Child Photographer | Charlize Studio Milestone Session

Check out this cutie pie, Charlize! I first just want to say that I am in love with her name. It's so unique and beautiful just like her. Mom and dad requested a fun and girly session to celebrate her being one year old, and that’s exactly what they got. If there’s one thing I am an expert at, that is coming up with sassy and girly sessions. I know that these images will be something that brings the entire family smiles for a lifetime.

Ruffled Bottoms and Sweet Smiles

Mom dressed Charlize up in the sweetest outfits, and it really showed off her bubbly personality.  From the bows, ruffles, and flowers, she was all dolled up for the camera. We couldn’t stop ooing and awing over ever little move that she made because she’s just so adorable. She stole my heart with big brown eyes, and I just know that she has mom and dad wrapped around her little finger. My favorite part of the session is when we placed her in this little pale that I had laying around my studio. She was so curious as to what we were doing, and kept reaching out for momma! I had so much fun laughing during this session, and I hope to see them again!

Pearland First Birthday Milestone Photographer | Joseph

Pearland First Birthday Milestone Photographer | Joseph

Look at this little guy! Mom and dad can’t believe that Joseph is already one year old, and I couldn’t think of a more memorable way to celebrate than with a fun photo session with me! I took this cutie pie to one of my favorite parks, and we had a blast! I brought all of my favorite props with me, including blankets, a wooden crate, and big blue balloons to add to the festivities!

Stealing Hearts with His Big Brown Eyes

The camera loves Joseph, and he was just captivating everyone with this big eyes and smile of his. I couldn’t get enough of his joy and happiness playing with his parents. Can we just talk about his outfit for a second? How precious! I fell in love with the red pants and striped hoodie, and it really stood out in the images.

When we finally pulled out all of the balloons, Joseph was so fascinated. I know he was loving all of the attention during his session, and we loved giving it to him. It is always a pleasure to create real memories for these special families, and I hope to see them again in the future for updates as he grows up!

Houston Family Photographer | Emma's First Year

Houston Family Photographer | Emma's First Year

Emma is such a precious little girl.  She was so expressive and excited.  It was a great time capturing her one year photos along with some updated family portraits.  I had the pleasure of photographing this family's maternity and newborn sessions, so I was honored when they contacted me about capturing Emma's one year session.

About this Session

Emma is such a happy, smiley baby.  Her sweet face, big eyes and giant smile made for some adorable pictures.  The big bows and accessories were merely icing on the cake.  Emma made my job as a newborn photographer such a joy!  The images of her in the high chair with the smash cake were just too sweet (see what I did there?).I love how she wanted to share with everyone, including her adorable puppy pal.  They were best buds!

Time to Clean Up!

After getting down and dirty in the smash cake it was time to get cleaned up.  Her bathtub images turned out beautifully.  The bubbles floating behind Emma and the was tub made for a great picture, but more importantly a detail that got Emma excited.  But there is nothing cuter than a happy baby being cheeky.  The images of Emma in the was basin from behind are precious. Their family portraits were a lot of fun too.  This family has so much fun together and the session was filled with laughter.  Their love for one another is beautiful and it shines through the images.2017-07-13_0059.jpg2017-07-13_0060.jpg2017-07-13_0063.jpg2017-07-13_0062.jpg2017-07-13_0064.jpg2017-07-13_0065.jpg2017-07-13_0067.jpg2017-07-13_0068.jpg2017-07-13_0066.jpg2017-07-13_0069.jpg2017-07-13_0071.jpg2017-07-13_0072.jpg2017-07-13_0073.jpg2017-07-13_0074.jpg2017-07-13_0076.jpg2017-07-13_0077.jpg2017-07-13_0078.jpg2017-07-13_0079.jpg2017-07-13_0080.jpg

Houston Newborn Photographer | Freya

Houston Newborn Photographer | Freya

This little lady is Freya—such a lovely name for a lovely, tiny bundle of a girl. Freya is her parents’ first baby, so I wanted her newborn session to be extra special and memorable for them. We pulled out all of the most feminine, delicate stops for Freya. She’s learning early that a girl can never try on too many headbands. Her own tiny style was all soft, girly, and floral; and we oohed and aahed over her as we swaddled her up and held her close.

About this session

Can you even deal with that little grin as she snuggles up to her momma? And the images of Freya and her daddy are almost too much to handle. They are just in love with her, and rightfully so. The images we captured in this session display the role Freya’s fallen right into in her family—she’s the gorgeous center of their world right now and she’s perfectly content in that place.I’m so looking forward to seeing her grow into her sweet personality and continue to explore her full range of expressions. Freya’s family invested in my baby plan so you will see this beautiful girl again.2017-07-13_0081.jpg2017-07-13_0085.jpg2017-07-13_0090.jpg2017-07-13_0093.jpg2017-07-13_0094.jpg2017-07-13_0098.jpg2017-07-13_0102.jpg2017-07-13_0105.jpg2017-07-13_0108.jpg2017-07-13_0083.jpg2017-07-13_0087.jpg2017-07-13_0089.jpg2017-07-13_0091.jpg2017-07-13_0092.jpg2017-07-13_0096.jpg2017-07-13_0100.jpg2017-07-13_0103.jpg2017-07-13_0104.jpg2017-07-13_0106.jpg2017-07-13_0107.jpg2017-07-13_0109.jpg

Houston Baby Photographer | Grayson Turns One

Houston Baby Photographer | Grayson Turns One

I'm so excited that Grayson is one of my baby planner clients. It means I’ve had the pleasure of watching him grow up through the lens of my camera over this first year of his life. In this session, we captured his wide-eyed-wanderer, curious personality. It’s always fun to see what little characters those tiny babies from the newborn sessions turn into. Grayson was all the things you could dream for a little boy to be. Handsome, happy, adventurous, playful, cuddly with his momma, and brave like his daddy.

About Grayson's Milestone Session

By the time we reach the one year session with my baby planner clients, we have seen some pretty big moments together. As anyone would agree, a lot can change in a year.  This day and similar session are so evident of that. Mom had a fun little surprise to share at Grayson’s one year session…She’s expecting another baby and this time it’s a girl! We made sure to capture some of her adorable baby bump in one of my studio gowns.With one year under his belt, Grayson is going to make such a great big brother! He’ll definitely be able to teach his little sister how to dive into a cake and splash like crazy in the bath. Necessary talents for any proper one year old! <32017-07-13_0148.jpg2017-07-13_0149.jpg2017-07-13_0150.jpg2017-07-13_0151.jpg2017-07-13_0152.jpg2017-07-13_0153.jpg2017-07-13_0154.jpg2017-07-13_0155.jpg2017-07-13_0156.jpg2017-07-13_0157.jpg2017-07-13_0158.jpg2017-07-13_0159.jpg2017-07-13_0160.jpg2017-07-13_0161.jpg2017-07-13_0162.jpg2017-07-13_0163.jpg2017-07-13_0164.jpg

Luxury Maternity Photography in Houston, TX | Natalie

Luxury Maternity Photography in Houston, TX | Natalie

Being a pregnant mama is one of the most rewarding experiences one can go through. I am currently expecting a precious child, and it is something I wouldn’t trade for the world. One of my favorite parts of this time in my life is being able to share my excitement with my other children. Letting them feel the baby kick, having them pick out toys and outfits. It all is just so fun for the whole family. That’s why when this mama contacted me, I was so excited! Getting to be a part of documenting special memories for families is exactly why I love my job.

Excited Anticipation

Her daughter was precious in the photos as well, along with her handsome husband.Altogether, this session with Natalie and her family turned out to be perfect!
