Dark or Light Images in Newborn Sessions
Do you like dark and moody images or light and bright in newborn sessions? Some might say light and bright is all the rage, but others might think moody has taken over. Both have their pros and cons and the reasons you might choose one over another might have to do with the decor in […]
Behind the Scenes Newborn Editing
A lot of clients like to see behind the scenes newborn editing. So here is a recent image from a newborn session! On the left is a raw file directly from the camera, the before, and on the right is the after. I purposely shot these images a little dark, to avoid them being too […]
Outdoor Newborn Photo Session with a Rainbow Baby
This week, I tried something I haven’t done in awhile. I know that newborns sleep really well in the heat, so because of the safety concerns of late, I figured I would try an outdoor newborn photo session again. By doing their family/newborn session this way, we were able to stay social distanced, wear masks […]

Finding Connection is something magical

Mom and Daughter Photo day
A great mom, a great college roommate, a great teacher, an even better friend. I couldn’t do life without her. I’m so glad TCU knew what they were doing so many years ago. I usually stress about taking photos of friends or family. But this mom and daughter photo day was easy as pie. I was […]
