Family.Love.Crystal Michelle.

Meet Crystal’s family… Can you say just absolutely beautiful??  Crystal and I traded photo services… you may remember our fantastic session that we did a couple months ago {Marylie Mach Photography}.  She is an amazing photographer, and very talented.

We met for her family session at Trinity Park in Fort Worth.  The love that this family have for each other is just so amazing, and you can almost feel it as you look at the images.  I hope that you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking and editing them.  I actually teared up a few times editing them because I was so happy for them and so in “Awh”  of the love they have for each other. 

There have been so many controversial posts about photographers and how they choose to photograph their sessions.  Some say that you HAVE to be able to pose your subjects down to a “T” to be considered a Pro Photog.  Some say that in order to be considered a professional, you have to be able to capture candid moments.  For me I have decided that I am just ME.   I capture candid moment beautifully, and find those images to be a reflection of my clients and their lives.  I often just say to my clients during a shoot “just be yourselves, interact with each other, and I’ll capture your real you”.  That’s what I love to do .  I also love to pose my subjects in manners that look natural.  I like to do both.  So… a little of both is what I like to consider myself.  Does that make me less of a professional… I am not sure… You decide :)

{Baby Travis ~ 5 days olds} NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER

Look at this precious angel.  He was so darn sweet!!!

He did make me work for it though.  He slept a fairly good amount… towards the end of the session… but fought me for most of it.  I have to say that with a lot of patience, help from my assistant, and lots of love, he did great.   He was quite strong too :)

Congratulations to Shelley and Jeff on this little bundle of love.  You guys are amazing parents, and I wish you both the best.

Scroll through to the end, and see some pull backs shots from this newborn shoot!

Shelley found out she was pregnant on Easter.  Therefore the bunnies became an instant ‘MUST’ have.  She decorated his room with all kinds of bunnies, and it was just precious.

Travis was born on Christmas day.  What an amazing gift from God!

Below is my favorite shot of the day!

I love all the textures in the image below.  Travis looks so peaceful too :)

Photographing babies has become my absolute favorite.  Sessions typically take a lot longer than a normal session.  About 3 to 4-hours to be exact.  It is more work, and it takes more patience, but there is something about it that just fills my heart.  I am not a very patient person overall, but with newborns, I am :).  I would love to maybe one day only specialize in newborn and have my own studio.  Yep, that is my dream.  But until then, I will continue to explore all types of sessions, and expand my photography knowledge.  God is good :)
