{Baby Belly and Curls} Mesquite- Garland- Dallas Maternity Photographer

I love doing maternity sessions. I just think mama's look so incredibly beautiful when they are expecting. This mama in particular looked amazing and was up for anything! We got some beautiful images with her daughter, who has outstanding curls. Seriously. I was totally covetting her hair! I am also really excited because they are doing the Belly, Birth and Baby package, so look forward to birth and baby sneaks too.











The last but not the least. I adore this one. Nursing has been a huge part of my life every day of the last 5 years. It goes so fast. Cherish every minute of this beautiful relationship. I loved capturing this moment in it's purity.

{A Belly and Book} Dallas- Highland Park- Richardson Maternity Photographer

This beautiful mama wanted something a little different for her maternity pictures. Something more documentary of their family, home, and her pregnancy. They were so lovely to work with. And I caught quite a few smiles from this little man, despite the fact that it was his naptime and he did NOT want me there. LOL!

Belly and mama lovin'



A good book...



Now that is a smile!



Loved the angle on this one...



Beautiful family photo...



If you only knew what it took to get this one!!

{Fall at the Arboretum} Dallas- Plano- Frisco Maternity Photographer

We had some rain in the morning the day we were scheduled to do this session. As this mama will be having her baby VERY soon, we didn't want to postpone it. We headed out in the drizzle and cloudy weather and were grandly rewarded! The light was amazing and we had a ton of fun. The Arboretum was nearly empty and we went to places I had never been. Watch for more of this cute couple as I am photographing the birth here soon!

My fav...



Dad and the belly... couldn't pass this one up!



Loved this one. Very "them" and I really loved the pumpkins...



Isn't she stunning!



And the funniest for last... One of them came up with the idea and I loved it. It was great!

{An Earthy Mama} Richardson- Plano- Dallas Maternity Photographer

This was my kind of maternity session! I love my fellow earthy mamas and this one was no exception. She is just a lovely mama and I was thrilled to do her maternity session. She happened to be the lucky winner from the Mama Campaign auction (Please visit and consider donating- a very worthy cause!) and I am glad we got the session in before she had her babe!

We headed out to Cottonwood Park on a breezy and beautiful morning and she looked amazing! We did them in several locations, but after picking my favs, it was obvious that I loved the stream and grassy areas the best!

{One gorgeous mama} Arlington- Grapevine- Southlake Maternity Photographer

I get to be this family's photographer for the next little bit and I am so excited! I did Rebekah's maternity session on Saturday and then will be there to photograph her birth and then follow up with a newborn sessions. This is one of my fav parts of my job, because each of those things is so unique and special. Rebekah and I had only chatted on the phone, so it was so nice to meet her in person... she is just as lovely as I imagined. I am hoping these sneak peaks are what she was hoping for. I thought she looked amazing. Enjoy, mama and it won't be long now!

{Superwoman!} Plano Maternity Photographer

Anna, Bill and I headed out to the park early Monday morning for our maternity session. Anna is superwoman! She is due anytime now and has had terrible back pain, but she was such a trooper. She came out in the heat and was willing to do anything I asked. Sessions aren't easy when you aren't 9 months pregnant! I am looking forward to hearing that this little babe has made their appearance and she is feeling great again. In the meantime, hopefully these sneak peaks will help!

Probably one of my favorite shots of the day. I just loved how the sun came streaming over the top of the gazebo.

These next two images still make me laugh...

This is the one we were going for...

When Bill surprised us with this. It was so funny!

A last minute shot that I am so glad we did. And we thought we were done!

And last but not least, a belly shot...

The "I love bellies" Maternity Session Special...

I am just in a maternity kind of mood. I feel for all you mamas who have to endure this heat and thought it would be fun to run a special.

I am basically cutting the cost of a session in HALF!!! Here are the details...

$125 and you get 8-10 high resolution images on CD. Sessions are 45-60 minutes long... plenty of time for pictures but not to die in the heat! Sessions are on-location.

Payment due in full upon booking. If you are not ready to have them done yet, but want to take advantage of the special, you can purchase a gift certificate.

Please email me or call to book your time or purchase a gift certificate and STAY COOL!!!

{Arriving soon} Plano- Dallas- Newborn Photographer

I had the joy of doing a maternity session for "D" and "C" on Memorial Day. We hit the park early and had just beautiful weather. She is so excited to be pregnant and loving every minute of it. I think it shows! You guys are just lovely and I can't wait to meet her. Enjoy!

{Happy Mother's Day} Plano- Dallas- McKinney Birth Photographer

I wanted to post this last week but with all the flooding in my house, that didn't happen. So here I sit at the hotel... still. Sigh. Hoping to get back home soon!

In honor of Mother's Day, I thought I would celebrate those times when mama's work really hard and there just isn't much anyone can do to help! Let's at least capture those moments that fly by. Those mama's deserve it!

Before June 1st, hire EMP for your birth photography and receive $100 off the total price. Book a maternity session before June 1st and recieve $50 off your session. It's that easy!

Happy Mother's Day!

{A little of both} Plano- Dallas- McKinney Maternity Photographer

First off, I want to apologize. I am a few days behind and I had hoped to have these posted already! I am catching up tonight for sure!

I did a maternity session with "R" and her hubby "D" last week. We did a few bare ones first in their home and then ventured out to downtown Mckinney and did some there as well. I don't know about them, but I had a blast! I hadn't done a session there before and there was a tone of great places that worked great. And I had a great subject. "R" is just beautiful with her perfectly round baby belly. Thanks guys and I hope you enjoy your sneak peaks!

{Almost time} Plano- Dallas- McKinney Maternity Photographer

I had the wonderful opportunity to take Maternity portraits for "S". She is one amazing and dedicated mama who is ready to have her baby next week (I'm photographing the birth, so watch for it soon!). She has been on bedrest and still looked fabulous! She has been anxiously awaiting her sneak peaks, so "S" here they are...

One of her beautiful daughter (who can resist those curls!)...

{Beautiful Bellies} Plano- Dallas- Mckinney Maternity Photographer

I know what you are wondering... why is belly plural? Usually there is only one belly in a maternity session, right? Not this time! And it probably isn't what you are thinking either!

I did a session for this fabulously fun couple yesterday. They were great to work with and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I can't wait to photograph their birth!

So guys, here are your sneak peaks. I had to throw one in of Coco... She is just too cute!
