Party of Five | An In-Home Family Session in ...

I had the wonderful opportunity to document an in-home session for this beautiful family in Dallas as they celebrated the arrival of their first son.

Stepping into their home, I was immediately greeted by a warm and loving atmosphere. Our time together unfolded naturally, capturing those genuine, unscripted moments that make in-home sessions so special. From showering their new baby brother with kisses and adoring looks to playfully jumping on beds and tickle attacks. One of their favorite daily routines is storytime with Dad, and I had the privilege of capturing that too.

Downtown Grapevine & Rockledge Park Family ...

It’s always an honor to watch a family grow over the years through my lens. I photographed this trio when their baby girl was just a couple of months old, and just like the last time, we had a blast together. We shot at two of my favorite Grapevine locations: Main Street and Rockledge Park. The Palace Arts Center made for a fun and colorful backdrop to begin our session, and just before sunset we moved to the rocky coastline of Rockledge to wander the cliffs and make some memories.

A Dallas Couple's Vacation Session in Turks ...

This vacation session in Turks and Caicos was magical! We spent an evening on the beach and swam around as the sun set over the clear blue water. The next morning we woke up early for a sunrise hike and found ourselves in a taxi in the pouring rain. Luckily, the weather let up just as we arrived at our destination, and we had a beautiful hike under cloudy skies with a refreshing drizzle of rain.

I love the portraits I was able to create for these two, vacation sessions are such a beautiful way to have your favorite memories preserved.

Cozy In-Home Family Session | Dallas Family ...

These laid-back, in-home family sessions are some of the most fun to photograph. It’s such a privilege to be invited into a client’s home to document the unique nuances of their family and those special moments that make up a childhood. This session was one for the books. From secret handshakes and daddy-daughter dances to imaginary under-the-sea excursions, these four allowed me to capture them as they truly are, forever freezing moments that their children will thumb through and cherish for a lifetime.

Grapevine Family Session at Rockledge Park

I knew from the moment I received their inquiry that I was going to have a great time photographing this family. They were looking for “a photographer that captures the in-between, genuine, non posed moments” and said “We see this in your work. We see your ability to capture life that jumps from the frame.” Their vision was perfectly aligned with what I strive to create: photographs that document the overwhelming love of family and fleeting smallness of a child.

Our session was at Rockledge Park on a particularly warm Fall evening. The cool, refreshing waves made for the perfect spot to splash around and document their love.

An In- Home Newborn Family Session (& Why They’re Such a Hit) | DFW Family Photographer

I photographed this sweet family of four in their home when their newest daughter was just three-weeks old. From dancing in the living room to family snuggles and storytime, we captured some beautiful everyday moments. In-home sessions are a great choice for families with newborns for so many reasons, and in this blog post, I share what a few of my past clients had to say about their choice to book an in-home session.

I worked with Catherine & Tom on their engagement photos a few years back, and this year they invited me into their home to create family portraits with their 1 year-old son, Tommy. It is so incredible to have the opportunity to work with someone over the years and get to witness their growing and changing family. It’s such an honor to be trusted time and time again by my clients to preserve the moments that matter most to them.

Joanna and I planned her family session for the beach, but kept her home in mind as a backup location since we were planning her session for November. We lucked out with an incredibly beautiful Fall day (thanks, Southern weather!), and got to create some magic by the waves at Hunting Island Beach. I had so many favorites from this session that it was almost too hard to narrow down for this post. I love how we focused on the fierceness of motherhood, the love between husband and wife, and the fleeting moments of childhood.
