Maternity Session – Dallas, Texas

Maternity Session – Dallas, Texas

We went to visit my sister-in-law for her baby shower in Dallas earlier this month. While we were there, I also took her maternity photos. She found this cute park in Addison for her location. Armed with plenty of props (love that the Pink Power Ranger helmet made an appearance) – we explored the water and trail.

Old Settlers Park – Maternity Session

When we looked at the weather forecast for this maternity session and saw highs in the 90s, this couple graciously switched from a sunset to a sunrise session. Bonus – their location, Old Settlers Park in Round Rock, was mostly deserted that early.

We walked around the water and explored as the sun rose. Also, I loved how prepared they were with great props and accessories we got to incorporate into their photos. Best wishes on the birth of your baby boy later this summer!

Garcia Family – Before & After (Maternity/Newborn Session)

Garcia Family – Before & After (Maternity/Newborn Session)

It’s not every Maternity Session that has a Newborn Session happen about 36 hours later. But I’m getting ahead of myself. I was traveling to Orlando, FL for work – and made time to take some photos of these friends/co-workers. It was 3 weeks until due date – so really our main concern was the weather. The rain held off – and we had fun running around a windy field near Lake Baldwin. The day I was due to fly back to Texas, I got some exciting texts that morning that things were happening. Grabbing my camera and heading to the hospital, I was able to meet the newest member of their family and still make it to my flight on time. Welcome to the World, Baby G!

The Hoke Family – portrait and maternity session

The Hoke Family – portrait and maternity session

You may remember this delightful family – from either Aaron’s first birthday photos, his 6 month portrait session or their most recent holiday photos. Well this time around I was happy to also document Baby #2-to-be (it’s a girl!)

Braving high humidity and avoiding countless ant piles, we explored the loop behind Central Market, with stops to feed the ducks – taking photos all the way.

Please enjoy this sneak peek. To see all the photos and purchase prints from their session: click here. And when dealing with toddlers, in the spirit of – “if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em” – check out my favorite outtake as well.

Lindsey and I met up at Mayfield Park for her maternity portrait session. Since she knew she was having a girl, I surprised her with a bunch of pink balloons. With her great smile, I knew the shoot would go well. You can see here some of my favorite images from the session.
