Meet Mr. T | Dallas Newborn Photographer

A month ago, I spent the morning with "Mr. T" and his family at their very lovely home. His mother had contacted me the day before going in for her c-section, so I got to meet him right when he was a "fresh" 2 weeks old. And what a good baby! Oh, this mommy and daddy are just blessed with the mildest, sweetest baby boy, you just wouldn't believe it. His cutie-pie, spunky big sister kept things lively the entire session and it was a morning enjoyed by all.

A Pea in a Pod + a Dog | Dallas Maternity Photographer

I met with this super cute couple a few weeks ago for my very first maternity session. I still chuckle to myself when I think of them claiming that they're unphotogenic. I think not! They were such a fun, loving couple and it just puts a smile on my face to think of the little being that they're about to bring into the world. He sure is blessed to have parents who are so in love with each other, as with he. They also brought along their first "baby," their Great Dane, Chloe, who was strikingly one of the most beautiful and sweetest-looking dogs I have ever seen. So not only was this my first maternity session, but it was also my first pet session, as well! Here's to the happy family...

Note: These photos were taken at The Red Shed antiques store garden and at the Palace Theatre in Grapevine, TX.

My Imaginary Friend | Dallas Family Photographer

A few weeks ago, I had quite an unusual and FUN session with this adorable little girl and her very cool parents. She was definitely one of the most imaginative, creative, and intelligent children of her age I have ever met. She completely captivated me with stories about her imaginary friend and it was as if "Jiabba" were right there with us the whole time. (And for the record, I have no idea how you spell his name.)

Anyway, this cutie's parents are both pediatricians for the Medical Clinic of North Texas. Her father picked up my business card at the Las Colinas location where he works. My own children go to this practice for their medical needs and my opinion is that anyone reading this blog who is shopping around for a pediatrician should look up Drs. McColm and Phan! They're just awesome people and I think I know enough about the practice at Las Colinas to know that they wouldn't have hired these docs if they weren't amazing at what they do. How's that for a plug?

So on to our session pics... I had a really tough time whittling out my faves this time around! I just loved this session!

Note: These photos were taken on Main Street in Grapevine, TX.

Thanksgiving Special - Holiday Mini-Sessions!

Hi folks! I'm going to try something and see what kind of a response I get.

I've decided to offer Holiday Mini-Sessions for one day only on Saturday, November 21st.

$50 (cash only)
20-minute session
5 digital photos fully edited and emailed to you, large enough to print up to 5x7
You will (knock on wood) receive your emailed images by December 1st

I have not yet decided on a location, but if I can get an idea of who might be interested in this offer, I will come up with one.

Here are some things that I ask:

- That everyone come ON TIME because I will literally be scheduling these back-to-back.
- Please come ready to go. If you have to primp once you arrive, then that may cut into your session time and then that will cut down on how many lovely photos I have to choose from when it comes time to edit them!
- Please also keep in mind your children's snack/naptimes because there won't be any time to stop for snacks for little ones (like I normally would absolutely do).

OK, let me know if you're interested (ylkhsk@ymail.com) and if the response is good, we'll get this thing organized and scheduled! Thanks!

Robbie + Francesca = | Dallas Children's Photographer

Several weeks ago, I had the opportunity to photograph this gorgeous family in the comfort of their home. They are the four awesome children of some friends of ours and it was so much fun to just get to hang out with them. I loved especially how the girls vamped it up for me, they were so excited about their "photo shoot." Just adorable. And such cool kids. Cool kids come from cool parents!
