A vision in red!
Jolie first messaged me a few months back wanting to take advantage of the photography special I was having with a booked parent/sibling newborn session she would receive a free mini maternity session. Her maternity session was held at Northwest Community Park in the Beginning of December. The Texas weather was good to us and it was beautiful out! Jolie brought a couple of her own gowns she wanted to wear, but I had a feeling she would love one of my red maternity dressed due


She reminds me of Princess Belle
I first met Shannon on a local military wives page on Facebook. Her husband is Navy, mine Army. We planned on her wearing a few of my gowns for a mini maternity photo session. From the moment I met her and her husband at beginning of the session taking place at Northwest Community Park I adored them. Our personalities just clicked. She does some photography on the side so that gave us even more a little bit in common as well. From start to finish we were all just laughing at

Breathtaking!
Like most of my maternity sessions we shot Miss Dayanara's maternity photos at Northwest Community Park. Theres is so much versatility at this location including a waterfall (its a hike to go there so I don't use it often), fields, trails, even a beautiful large pong and a doc! Pretty much a photographers dream location. Also like any of my maternity sessions where the pregnant mama chooses to rent one of my maternity dresses Dayanara came to my studio a few days before her s


One gorgeous pregnant beauty
So in my eyes I see that every pregnant mama is beautiful, which is why maternity is my favorite to shoot. Whether its their glow, their baby bump, their amazing hair (gotta love the vitamins from prenatals), their love for their unborn child, no matter what the specific reason is, they're all absolutely beautiful. Well everyone meet Cristal, she's the type of pregnant beauty that I envied when I was pregnant with my son. She has all the aspects of what makes a pregnant women

Shhh it's a surprise!
After Chrissy found out she was pregnant with her second child she started googling fun ways to tell her husband. She saw a photo idea and loved it immediately. Thats when she messaged me. I've been wanting to do this style session for a while so I jumped on board right away. We had scheduled the session at Eagle Mountain Park only 2 days away and she could hardly contain her excitement and almost told her hubby on accident a couple times. But can you blame her? I began their


The Leschisins await to become a family of three
The Leschisins were some of my first clients when I moved back to the DFW area. Alyssa took advantage of my maternity/newborn special I was having and I'm so glad she did. They are a very laid back couple who moved to DFW to be in a warmer state and I certainly don't blame them! (I don't do cold weather). They were both nervous and excited to become parents of their baby boy. Wait to see his newborn blog for his name and why ;) Thank you for choosing me to be your Fort Worth


Cammie and Ben's rainbow baby
When I first met Cammie I instantly liked her. Some clients you just connect with right away and she was definitely one of them. Cammie wanted to do a session to announce the baby her and her fiancé Ben are expecting. Cammie and Ben have been together for going on six years and are engaged to be married! Can I just say how stinking cute these two are with each other?! I didn't have to spend more than five minutes with them to see how obviously in love they are and how perfect
