Welcome Baby Talon!

Baby Talon, welcome to the world! We met you in your momma's tummy a few weeks before you decided to join us, and we were so excited to finally see you! 

 

Baby Talon, welcome to the world! We met you in your momma's tummy a few weeks before you decided to join us, and we were so excited to finally see you! 

Talon started off the session a little fussy (turned out he just wanted to eat 4 times as much as he normally does!), but once he settled down, we were really able to get some gems for his mom, Christine! Especially that Easter bunny one. 

O. M. G. SO CUTE! 

Christine, we're pretty excited about how these turned out, and we can't wait to see him grow!

Sweetest Samara

Sweet Samara made her grand entrance on February 21, almost exactly two weeks before her due date! Rumor has it, Samantha even drove herself to the hospital since Tito was at work- beast mode! We were so thrilled to be able to meet this teeny one on her 6th day, and are in love with her and the memories of her that we were able to capture for their family!

This little beauty has brought nothing but pure joy into the Salinas family, where Tito and Samantha have handled the adjustment to a family of four like true champs. Samara, we are excited to watch you grow and can't wait to see what God has in store for you!

PS- Lord, wherever you got those lashes from, send them our way when it's our turn! Amen. :)

Happy Birthday, Belle!

It's Belle's first birthday, and we want to sing a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to this cutie!

It's Belle's first birthday, and we want to sing a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to this cutie! We were hoping to be able to do some cute outdoorsy photos for her, but the crazy Houston weather kept us inside... Regardless of the circumstances, we still were able to get some pretty darn cute photos of little Belle! She was timid at first, but definitely warmed up to the camera once the balloons came into the picture. ;) 

Belle, we hope you have a wonderful time at your party tomorrow, and can't wait to watch you continue to grow! Happy birthday!!

Emmy's 7 Month Update

It's been so fun to watch little Emmy and her bubbly personality grow! We had the pleasure to take some 7 month progress pictures of her, and in the words of Josh, "She is such a DOLL!" And once you see her pictures, I don't think there will be any disputing that!

Christmas Mini Sessions!

This was our first year of mini sessions, and it is safe to say, we had a blast! We were able to spend time with so many wonderful families, and had so much fun getting to know our new clients and take more lovely photos of our previous clients. Needless to say, this year's minis were a huge success, and I can't wait to start planning for more minis in the future!

Azzams in the Pumpkin Patch!

We had such a fun time at the pumpkin patch with Brittany, Mitch, and their two cuties, Cooper & Brielle at their mini session! Cooper was SO GOOD at saying "Cheese!" We have to give him major kudos there, for sure. ;)

The Ellisons' Little Pumpkin!

Let me first say, we have absolutely loved being able to see little Emmy grow! (even if it only has been 3 months! haha) This little pumpkin was simply adorable in her strawberry costume, and in the words of Josh, "What. A. Doll!" You know you can't deny it!

Micale, sorry that Emmy just refused to smile for us, but that makes her no less precious! I mean look at that little sleeping angel! We can't wait to see this precious little face again soon!

Happy three months, little Emmy! Mikala & Josh love you! :D

Check out their mini session at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Pearland, TX!

Ryan Family Vacation

We absolutely adored our time with the Ryan family! They decided to spend a relaxing weekend in Galveston (one of our most favorite places ever) for Fourth of July weekend, and I'm so glad they decided to take some photos of the family while they were down!

The twins, Abby & Aiden, were absolute dolls, and Jake was a ball of energy and personality! Thank you, Amy, for giving us the opportunity to spend some time with your family!

Juarez Family Photos

Annie and I have been coworkers for just over three years now, and before Josh and I even began our official photography business, she was one of the first people that was interested in having photos done! Needless to say, we were ecstatic when my she let me know that she and Jose wanted family photos this summer!

Needless to say, we were ecstatic when my she let me know that she and Jose wanted family photos this summer!

Annie and I went back and forth about where would be the best place for them, and what style of photos she wanted- Galveston or Houston? Urban or woodsy?Ultimately, I think we picked just the right spot. :)

We decided to try out Buffalo Bayou Park, right north of downtown Houston, where we were able to find the best of both worlds! A lush spot, right in the middle of the city,  Buffalo Bayou Park allowed to get both great skyline pictures and photos in nature, and have fun while doing so! It was a great opportunity to explore one of Houston's gems, and it was evident that Justin and Sophia (and Jordan, the lovable French bulldog!) all loved the park as well. 

Annie and Jose, I hope you love your pictures as much as we do! Anytime you want more family photos, we're totally in! :)

IV's First Jam

This little baller turns one this month! To celebrate, mom & dad are throwing a Space Jam themed party and wanted basketball pictures. Honestly, I don't think little IV could be any cuter!

This little baller turned one this week! To celebrate, he is having a Space Jam themed party, so naturally, what would make more sense than some basketball pictures! Honestly, I don't think little IV could be any cuter! We loved his happy demeanor and sweet personality during the shoot (and every time we see him!) and it's without a doubt that he loves his mom & dad. :) 
Tito and Sam, we love you and your precious family, and IV is such a little model baby that we would take pictures of him everyday if we could! ♡

Aria & Ainsley's Enchanted First Birthday!

Aria and Ainsley had the most precious "Enchanted First Birthday"! Ashley did a wonderful job ensuring that the cake, table decorations, outfits, and PONIES were nothing short of perfect for her girls' big day!

Don't ever say Facebook is good for nothing! I saw on Facebook early in May that a fellow choir member from high school (11 years ago, to be exact), was looking for a photographer for his adorable twins' first birthday party, so I reached out! Thank you, Facebook, for the high school reunion, of sorts!

Anybody else wish they had ponies at their birthday party?! The house was full of friends and family, and the atmosphere was buzzing with the love for these two sweet girls. 

Daniel & Ashley, congratulations on successfully making it through the first year with your girls and throwing them a great birthday bash! It was nothing short of enchanted. ;)
