Finding Beauty - Tyler, TX Child & Children's Photography

Have you ever walked past the same place hundreds of times, but never really looked at it? Right outside my kitchen window used to be an overgrown pasture. My husband cut down a small path to get to the pond he likes to fish at. I have noticed the path before and thought it might be a good place to take pictures. I took my son out there yesterday and really looked at this spot for the first time. There were beautiful trees with leaves changing to fall colors. On this path there are trees that arch above it on both sides and there are leaves on the ground that have fallen off the trees. The sun peeks in from the pasture and it is just so magical. How have I lived in this house for almost 3 years and not seen the beauty right in my own back yard? Apparently I don't spend enough time doing the dishes and looking out that window. Never have I thought their was so much beauty right where I live. As a photographer I admire has said before, all you need is a "pocket" of light with a beautiful background. Finding that perfect "pocket" is what makes all the difference in the world.

Urban Family - Tyler, Texas Child & Children's Photographer

My sister and her family came out on Saturday for a Christmas mini session. We did urban style pictures for their family Christmas cards. If you know me, you know I absolutely LOVE urban style pictures. I don't think anything can top it (except for a fresh, squishy newborn). We had so much fun. My nephews and niece were making me laugh so hard. After we finished with the urban pictures, the sun had just set and I knew what I had to do. I had to drag them to my favorite little spot where the light and sky is always just magical. I have always wanted to try a family jumping picture. The children were so excited that they got to jump after being so serious for the other pictures. I just love how it turned out. And keeping with tradition, I got covered in stickers as I always do in that favorite spot of mine (and I am not talking about smilie face stickers). So, a big thank you to my sister for picking the stickers off of me. Thanks so much for letting me photograph your family. I had a blast! I hope you guys enjoy your sneek peek.

Sleeping Beauty - Tyler, TX Baby, Newborn & Infant Photographer

This little girl was so sweet and so beautiful and so cuddly. I have never seen a baby with hair so blonde. She was just a perfect little angel. It is amazing how much she put up with too. I swaddled her, unswaddled her, put a hat on her, put her on a doll bed, changed blankets twice and changed backdrops twice. All the while she just slept and didn't complain. The last picture I took of her was right after she ate. She was so content and just wanted to look around. I just love how wide open her pretty little eyes are. Enjoy your sneek peek guys!

She put her little hand on her face like that all on her own.

Fresh Baby - Tyler, Texas Newborn & Infant Photography

This little sweetie was 5 days old and totally new and fresh and squishy and, SIGH, just perfect. I kept telling her mom she was a perfect little poser. She really let me position her any way I wanted without much complaining at all. I had a space heater keeping her warm so she could just curl up and sleep. Yes, I know! It is summer in TX and I am using a space heater. Sounds kind of ridiculous, doesn't it? I did get a bit toasty, but it was totally worth it. I am so glad I talked her mom into letting me snap a quick picture of them together. There is nothing like the love between a mother and her child. Enjoy your sneek peek guys. I had a blast at your session!
