Expecting Life {North Texas Maternity Photographer}

Awww the beauty of expecting that perfect little bundle of joy.  I had so much fun photographing Jennifer & Ryanne's interaction during this maternity session.  Truly a delight!  Ryanne is 2 years old, full of life, joy, laughter and excitement and I love the way she loved on her sweet momma during this session, and allowed me to capture such sweet moments for this family.

We missed having dad (Allen) with us during the session but, he was out of town working.  He was home to come and preview their images this week and I had a great time meeting him and helping them both design special collages of images for their home.  Such a joy!

Jennifer is simply glowing and looks stunning!  Little Rocco is due March 4th and I know they are all very excited for his arrival :)

Here are a few of the highlights from our session...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you Jenner, Allen & Ryanne for allowing me to be apart of such and amazing time in your lives.  I hope that you will enjoy these images and memories for a lifetime.

Kotori Jewelry - Something NEW at SP {Venus, Texas Photographer}

Hi my friends...

I am thrilled to share an awesome new product addition that we are offering here at the studio... Kotori jewelry.  What I love about Kotori Jewelry the most is that it is a fashionable way for you and I to showcase the one's we love the most... our family.  Plus... who does not like jewelry?!! Right!!

Kotori jewelry only sells to professional photographers and they totally understand the  industry, our clients and they are 100% committed to making sure that the jewelry they produce is top quality;  so that each individual piece of jewelry will not only showcase your loved one, but it will stand the test of time.  Kotori jewelry uses sterling silver and guarantee's NO yellowing on the jewelry.   Here's what they have to say about that guarantee:  "We've had our coating tested by an independent lab using an environmental chamber for the equivalent of 20 years of exposure... including UV light exposure.  Our jewelry showed absolutely no yellowing even under such intense conditions.   And, because we get our photos processed on Kodak Endura paper, you can feel confident that they are archival quality and will resist fading." - {Kotori}

Want to see all the JEWELRY options?!!!  CLICK HERE to check out the catalog.

Here are a few of my favorite's...  but, actually I love them all!

 



 

This first one is called the "Story" Necklace.  I love it!  You include your image and then you can have hand stamped charms with important dates and/or initials included into your piece.

 



This second one is called "Heirloom" Necklace and it is beautiful.  I love the simple, classic design and what a way to showcase your precious little newborn or growing child.

This third one is a leather "Wrap" bracelet.  They come in black and red and I just love the fashionable way to display one of your loved one's.  I believe our High School Seniors will love this fun new look.

I hope you enjoyed this fun new preview of a great new product coming to SP.    I look forward to seeing your images displayed in a whole new way.

Awesome NEW products at SP {North Texas Portrait Photographer}

Hi SP Friends...

I am always on the look out for unique new items that enable us to produce amazing portrait art for you our clients and OH I have to say that these two are amazing.  These two may not be huge in size, but the artistic look and design of each one paired with your images is sure to make a lasting impression in any room.

Our new 5x7 Gallery Stands are photographically printed on Metallic Paper and then laminated over a solid wood construction and then paired with an easel back.  Each one is delivered complete and ready for display.  I will be custom designing each one that is ordered.  You have endless options with these adorable Gallery Stands, you can match a custom Canvas Wall Gallery or even your custom announcements.  Plus... they work for any event that you are celebrating,  the birth of a baby, the excitement of the grad or the romance of true love.



 

Our second new product is the "Photo Cube"  Each cube is created by 4 custom designs all joined together to create an adorable little cube.  These are 4x4 and are stackable, so you decide just how many you want to use to create your own one of kind photo display in your home.  These adorable little cubes are made out of the same materials as the 5x7 Gallery Stands and are easly cleaned off with a soft damp cloth.   



 

I will have many new samples coming into the studio over the next couple of months, so be sure and check them all out on your next visit in.   In a week and half my Mom (Anna) and I are heading to Imaging USA and I know that I am sure to find a few more amazing ways to display the ones you love in your home and office.  Be sure and check back, I will be doing blog post on Imaging USA towards the end of January.

When you get a chance be sure and check out our updated website too at www.specialtyphotography.biz  

The website is still a work in progress, with just a few more pages of information to be completed, but you can see the overall look and experience and see what we are all about as a studio.  I love the new design layout as well as all of the helpful information that is there for you our clients and potential clients to check out.  Please don't hestiate to call me with questions about booking, pricing, or designing 972.877.4778

A BIG HUGE thank YOU goes out to my daughter Sarah for working on all the HTML coding for me and totally laying out our new site design.  I so appreciate all of the time she put into it over her Christmas Break from College.  

Until next time...

Waiting on little Liam {North Texas Portrait Studio}

Isn't Ashley stunning?!!  I love photographing new mommies as they are waiting the arrival of their precious little one, they are full of excitement, expectation and always have a glow about them.



I met Ashley a few months ago at none other than Hobby Lobby.  Yep, I was there buying supplies to create another set for the studio :) and Ashley was there picking up scrapbook supplies and new picture frame, for her sonogram picture  to go on her desk at work.  I was in the checkout line with all my goodies and Ashley was behind me with all her goodies and as fate should have it, we began to chat.   She asked my opinion on the frames as she was having a hard time deciding between two of them and we just got to talking.  After we both checked out, I gave her a business card and told her that I photograph Newborns and would love to photograph her little one, if she was in need of a photographer.   A couple of weeks later Ashley called me and was interested in learning more about our baby plans and decided to book her baby plan with SP!  Yipee!!

I photographed Ashley's maternity session recently here at the studio and I just love the results... She is healthly, happy and overflowing with JOY waiting for sweet little Liam.  Just love that name and I can't wait to meet that little guy.

Here are a few of my favorites from her session...



 

Thank you Ashley for trusting me to capture this amazing new journey in your life.  I am looking forward to October :)   Wishing you a safe & blessed delivery.

Baby Hadlyn is on the way

The Smith Family is expecting!!  It's such an exciting time for them and little Holden is super excited that he is about to be a big brother.  I was honored to be selected to photograph the Smith's Maternity session.  The mommy-to-be was glowing and the dad was easy going and relaxed, which made our session such a fun time.  I love it when families are up for just about anything.  In our consultation, they had decided that they wanted their maternity session to be taken outside, in and around their hometown and they loved the idea of some urban photos.   It's always fun meeting up with families in their hometown, exploring what's unique and special to them.   And boy, did we do just that, we found an old empty warehouse, a beautiful church courtyard, allyway's and city streets.  What a beautiful winter morning we had that day.

Here's a small session highlight from our time together...



Thank you Smith Family.  I look forward to meeting Ms. Hadlyn this spring :)

Until next time...
