{Mama's Love} McKinney- Frisco- Plano Maternity Photographer

I was so excited to see this family again! I was blessed to do maternity and newborn photographs for their first and again now, as they are expecting number two! This isn't a maternity sneak peek, but I loved it so much, I had to share it. His mama just loves him so much and he adores her. What a blessing. I promise actual maternity images are forthcoming!

{Gorgeous afternoon} Plano- Arlington- Grand Prairie Maternity Photographer

Amazingly, things work out the way they are supposed to. I was supposed to meet this couple on a weekday morning, but ended up having a client schedule an induction. So we quickly rescheduled for that afternoon. It worked out though, because the clouds and rain were rolling in as we were shooting! This mama has a fabulous and natural smile and I loved it! We even got dad to smile for us too. Hope you guys love them and thanks for a great session!

Loved this one with the blue sky and fall colors in the background...



Look at them! They are too cute...



Loving that beautiful smile and a beautiful belly...



See those clouds! They were up for anything, even hiking through feilds filled with scary bugs like butterflies ;)

{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!

{Visions in my head} Plano- Allen- Mckinney Maternity Photographer

I have totally had this vision in my head... tall grass, sunflowers, beautiful pregnant mama, flowing dresses. Well, Erin said she was up for the challenge and I could not be happier with what we got. Not only does it fit her personality, she was just radiant and they turned out even better than I could have hoped. I am beyong thrilled. Who knew the side of a freeway could be so beautiful! Thanks, Erin, for being brave and tromping around with me.

{Bright and Beautiful} Plano- Allen- McKinney Maternity Photographer

We did a session yesterday in Allen. It was cool and cloudy (perfect for us photogs) and the rain held off until we were walking to the car. It was great! This gorgeous family all came in bright, bold colors that I just loved. They looked great! We got some of just mom, some of everyone and even a few 3 year old shots in there!

Hope you guys enjoy these!

{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!

{Just in time} Plano- Dallas- Mckinney Maternity Photographer

This beautiful mama is going in to have her baby on Sunday night! We squeezed in our session so that "S" could forever remember herself pregnant and just glowing. We had a great time, just us girls, as we rearranged her living room to get these. She was just fabulous and up for anything. I seriously can't believe she is 40 wks. She is just amazing.

"S" you are going to laugh, because the first is in color! I couldn't help it... it was one of my favs and had to post it. I love how her hair just pops. And ladies, I have done nothing to her skin! Are we all just so jealous now?

Their first "baby" had to get in on the excitement too and, oh, was he a love...

(FYI... this one keeps coming out pixelated. Not sure why, but you can click on it to see it not.)

And a few more that are just stunning...

"S" & "J", I hope these make you smile and that you have a fabulous birth!
