Houston Newborn Session: Baby Duke

I think it’s safe to say- if you have been following JMG Photography for long, you’re probably familiar with the Ellisons! These sweet friends of ours are some of our favorite clients, but we’re not biased because they’re our friends and their kids are adorable, or anything! ;)

Baby Duke made his way into the world early, and to be honest, he gave us quite a scare. Prior to his arrival, Brett & Micale were given some pretty scary news that involved chances of physical deformities, mental disabilities, and the chance of losing their little guy if things didn’t go just right. Let’s just say that praying parents don’t accept that kind of news laying down. The Ellison and Wilhoite families, along with hundreds of family and friends united together to pray for this little guy, believing that everything would be ok, and he would be born with none of the potential disabilities that the doctors had warned of.

When he was born, he was perfect! No physical abnormalities, ten fingers, ten toes, however he wasn’t out of the woods yet. The doctors immediately rushed him to NICU with fluid on his lungs. This little guy fought through fluid on the lungs, a meningitis scare, and a blood infection, and finally made it home to his little family and is doing 100% better! The power of prayer is real y’all.

Anyway, we are so happy for our sweet friends and their growing family, and can’t wait to see how this miracle baby changes the world as he grows!

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! 

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!

Much love ♥ 
Mikala & Josh

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

Baby Emerson

Happy one month birthday to baby Emerson!  This sweet little one has already grown from when we were able to take her portraits when she was just 2 weeks old! Baby Emmy, you are a lovely and beautiful little girl, and we pray the world for you and your wonderful parents!❤️
