Baby Fi {Newborn}

There's this great perk in this business of photography I started six years ago that I never foresaw. I never foresaw meeting and receiving special clients whose families would eventually choose to keep me in their lives and record their greatest moments time and time again. This family is exactly one of those special clients. I never expected the friendships and blessings that would flow from getting to know the people I would meet through my service. As I continue and meet more clients like these, I find myself craving after it and doing what it takes to foster these joyful and friendly relationships with people.

They were pregnant when I met them. I did their Christmas card and family photos. I did her maternity shoot. Now the baby is here. Mommy and I can't wait to tell the new story of baby girl, joining her older brother, and making a family of four. We can't wait to see what it's like for them to grow up with each other and capture them in photographs. I can't wait to do for them what I dream about and do for my own children. I love the idea!

Without further ado, it is my absolute pleasure to introduce to you the arrival of a new baby girl to the McDaniel family-my friends! Meet baby Fiona!



I loved them so much-I have to include the birth announcements! I ordered these shaped as flowers-sooo sweet! :)



Here is a picture of their family at Christmas and one of Macy for her maternity shoot-I never got to blog these, so it feels so good to include them in our developing timeline. Cheers! :)

Kim & Frank {Engaged}

This happy couple has been awesome to get to know! We met through my Facebook page, and it has been so fun getting to know them both. Aside from the coolness that they are, they are incredibly photogenic and fun to hang around. We went to a few different spots and I loved the evening lighting. I'm also shooting their wedding and it is going to be an exciting event! Here are some shots from their awesome session. I loved so many of them; it was hard to only pick a few!

Leave them your best wishes or a nice comment on your favorite image! Love to hear from you!

Mother's Day {Limited} Special

She will never believe you did this! Change the wording from "wife" to "mother" or however you would like it to read-front and back. Pick up the gift certificate from the studio address in Tomball so you'll have it by Mother's Day. Deadline to order is Friday (while supplies last)!

Do you realize how much your wife wants you to say that you would like for her to have a picture taken of herself and the kids AND that you want something nice to hang in your home? She might not even believe you! But you'll have the gift certificate to prove it! It's the perfect gift-I should know-I'm a wife and mother too!! Only 5 available since it's such an incredible deal. I charge twice as much normally for what you'll be receiving, so I couldn't do too many! Don't skimp on pictures and a great session-but DO save on them!

**Wives reserve the right to share this on their husbands' walls** ;)

Fletcher {{Newborn}}

Well, I haven't blogged on actual sessions because I'm sooo active on Facebook, but I'm very glad to be getting back to it. I meet so many interesting families and they quickly become friends! I really love what I do-and I never expected that the people I'd meet would be as fantastic as it is!

Fletcher's mom was excited to do an outdoor session with him because of some pictures she had seen me do for another session in front of water and lily pads. Well, I thought Mercer would work out so well at this time in the Spring for their shots, so we headed out there! Here are some of little Fletcher in front of the amazing pond at Mercer. The background is amazing, but the tiny subject makes the picture! :)

I am trying to do my best to capture the tiny little details in my newborn sessions. They'll never be this small again! Here are a few of a very sleepy baby and his tiny hand and ear.

Fletcher's older brother was having a tough day. Really. LOL. He did get happy towards the end of the shoot and I got some of him playing on the swing. He also paid attention long enough to his little brother for me to snap a few of him about to give him a brotherly smooch. :)

We had a great day and I made great friends. However, my new friends are moving to Colorado soon, so I'll have to see their shiny faces on Facebook. I wish all the best to them and their new adventure!
