Meet the Bennet Family | Venus Texas Family Photographer

 Love this time of year and of course working with such great families!  Nick, Kristi & Riley had their first family photo session at their family farm.  What a beautiful location for Christmas Portraits.   I am so honored that I had the opportunity to capture their first family portrait with little Riley and all in time for Christmas Gifts.

The farm is pretty close to the studio, so we met them there and Nick and Kristi had the most perfect locations picked out.  So we headed out and enjoyed a beautiful afternoon creating their portraits.

Here are just a few of my favorites from our time together...

Thank you Bennet family for taking me around the farm and for allowing me the opportunity to photograph your precious family.  I hope you love these for a lifetime!  Wishing you the very best Christmas Season!

Fall Family Session | Venus Texas Family Photographer

 Ya'll I love this time of year, when I get the opportunity to capture families and the joy they share with each other.  Warms my heart so much!  Of course this family is extra special to me, as this is our Son, daughter in love and our beautiful grand daughters.  

It is always great for families to take the time to have family portraits made, I love the connection we can capture and showcase.  It is always great for children to see the love in their home and I truly believe having photos of them and their family up on the wall and displayed in the home, reminds them of the love they all have for each other.   Portraits are an amazing gift to share with each other.  

We had a beautiful fall day here in Texas to capture these special moments...

Thank you for allowing Mimsy to capture your beautiful family!  Love you all and hope you treasure these for a lifetime!

Hello Summer Family Sessions | Venus Texas Family Photographer

Well school has started (finally) and we are on the last stretch of summer.  So, I thought I would share some family portraits from our Hello Summer Mini Sessions.  These were great fun and what awesome families to work with.  What I loved about our Hello Summer mini sessions is that we went to YOU.  It is great to photograph families where they live.  Everyone is relaxed and enjoying a great summer evening outside.  Although it was still super hot, it was indeed a beautiful evening.

I also love these because we are capturing families, connection and freezing that moment.  This is something that these families will enjoy for years to come.  As life is always changing, we are always growing and what better way to preserve special moments, than with a family portraits.  

I know that I personally love looking back through photos, on my phone, in scrapbooks, photo albums, etc.  Photos/Portaits  always take me right back to the moment and always bring a little story to mind about the people that I love.   So, I know that your photos/portaits can and will do that for you as well.

Here are just a few of my favorites...

These two girls!  I love watching them grow :)  They are cousins and oh so close!  They have a special bond for sure!!

Thank you Upchurch and Lowe family for trusting me to capture such special moments for your family.

I trust that these will be a treasure for years to come!

NOW... if you are interested in getting your own family portraits done, feel free to contact me at 972-877-4778 or email me at deanna@specialtyphotography.biz to schedule your own family session.  I also have some MINI sessions already scheduled for the studio.  You can check them all out here and get signed up right away!

Denbow Family | Venus Texas Family Photographer

Meet the Denbow Family!  We photographed Maria and Kyle for the first time 7 years ago when they were celebrating their first wedding anniversary.  Since then they have been blessed with Casey and Abby and we have had the honor of photographing their beautiful children and their family through the years; and they have become dear friends!

On the day of our outdoor session; believe it or not we did NOT have rain (If you are not in Texas it has been raining here for about 6 weeks now - more days of rain than not) we actually had a beautiful warm fall day at the park.  The kids had a blast at the park and we had a great time capturing some fun family memories for them.

Here are a few of our favorite images from he day...

Aren't they the cutest?!!  Thank you Denbow Family for allowing me to photograph your family.  We hope that you cherish these images from years to come and enjoy them hanging in your new home!

Our family at the beach {North Texas Family Photographer}

Well you guys know that we closed the studio a couple of weeks ago for a few days as we headed off to the beach with our family.  We sure enjoyed the R&R time and of course it's always amazing to spend time with family.  I love that we got to enjoy our whole big family together for several days, truly blesses my heart.

Our vacation destination was Port Aransas, Texas and for those of you don't know, that is right across the bay from Ingleside, Texas where my hubby grew up.  It's always fun to go for visit.

This year we enjoyed the beach, eating awesome food, swimming at the hotel, exploring the World Aquarium and the USS Lexington.   We also had a wonderful evening with my Brother & Sister in Law, who still  leave there.  So thankful for the time we shared and memories that were made.  Such a blessing.

Today I thought I would share with you guys a few of my favorite photos from our family photo shoot on the beach.  

The whole bunch right here.

Our Son and his sweet family with one on the way!  Have I shared with you all that this Mimsy is excited lol!!  

Our awesome kiddo's all grown up.  So proud of both of them!
Plus... my momma went with us for the fun too.

Our beautiful daughter :)

Our beautiful grand daughter :)  She's the one who named us Mimsy and Poppa J!

Country Family Session {North Texas Family Photographer}

Today I am honored to share with you the Avants Family country session.  This session took place very close to the studio on some of the amazing country hide aways that we have.  On the day of our session we were very concerned about having to rescheduled due to the rain & cold weather.  But, to our surprise the rain held out and the afternoon proved to be a beautiful sun shinny day.   Perfect for an outdoor family session.  I love it when the sun is bright and filters through the tree's creating such a beautiful light for our photo shoots. 

I truly enjoyed watching this family share fun and laughter together as we photographed them.  They were excited and up for anything.  Which is always fun!  I am always so honored when a family selects me to photograph their family; but this time was extra special since this was their first family photo shoot. 

Here are a few of our favorite highlights...

 

 

 

 

                                                                                 

 Thank you Avants family for choosing SP to photograph your sweet family.  We had a blast and totally enjoyed our time with you.  We hope that you enjoy your images for years to come and enjoy sharing them with friends & family.

Celebrating 30+ years... {North Texas Family Photographer}

Oh my goodness!!  I had such a joy photographing & spending time with this wonderful couple recently;  in celebration of many wonderful years of marriage.  What a joy it is to see the love, the laughter and true friendship that just seeps out and overflows from them both.   Their photo session took place at their beautiful home.  We started out inside the house taking in some of the lights and festive decor' of a home that is totally ready for Christmas, then we headed outside and took in the beautiful day and their amazing backyard get away.    The backyard is just that a little get away, all landscaped in different area's and provided the perfect place to create images and to capture these two just as they are today.  Happy, in Love and Celebrating!

Here are a few of my favorites....


Thank you Robert & Robin for allowing me the honor of capturing this moment in time for you both.  I hope that you enjoy your images for years and years to come.  Merry Christmas and enjoy all the festivities with your sweet family.

Met the Inmans {North Texas Family Photographer}

Hi SP Friends...

Today I am thrilled to share a family with you that I have known for many many years, in fact, our children who are all now grown,  have known each other since they were tiny tots in the church nursery.   Meet the Inmans!  I was so honored & excited when Debbie called and scheduled her family session with me; it was great catching up and learning what everyone was doing now that they have graduated from college.   All three of their children are going in awesome directions building their careers.  Debbie was excited because she knew she had a window of opportunity with all of them being in the same place at the same time long enough for her to get new family portraits taken.

So Debbie & I planned out her session and met up at one of my favorite places for family portraits Trinity Park in Fort Worth, Texas.  I love it because of it's big beauitful tree's that filter light amazingly, and because it is a very large park with many different elements that provide creative and beautiful settings for families.

It was so neat to hang out with this family for a couple of hours during their photo shoot and catch up, just like old times.  It is always amazing to me how quickly time goes by, it truly seems like yesterday that our children were all hanging out in the church nursery.  But, it is joyful to see them grown up as college graduates ready to dive into new directions with careers.  What a blessing!

Here are just a few of my favorites...



















Thank YOU Inman family for allowing me to capture this time in the life of your family.  You have a beautiful family and I hope that you will enjoy your images for years to come, and that when you reflect back on this time in life it will bring  joy to your heart and a smile to your face.

Love & Laugther -
