As we close out another beautiful month here in Fort Worth, I am feeling incredibly thankful for the families of newborns who trusted me to capture their stories. Every session brought something different, from quiet newborn moments to playful family connections and glowing maternity portraits. These are the seasons that move the fastest, and it is always an honor to help families slow them down, even just for a moment.

One thing I hear from moms again and again is how full life feels. Between school schedules, nap times, work, and everything in between, it can feel overwhelming to even think about planning photos. A little practical encouragement I love to share is this: you do not need to have everything perfectly figured out before booking. That is part of what I am here for. I help with timing, wardrobe guidance, and choosing locations that work best for your family and your season of life. My goal is to make the process feel simple and stress-free so you are not adding another thing to your plate.
Another thing moms often worry about is how their kids will behave during a session. Please know this is completely normal. Little ones do not need to be perfectly posed or smiling at the camera the entire time. Some of the most meaningful images come from movement, cuddles, curiosity, and those in-between moments. I gently guide each session while leaving room for your children to be themselves. That is how we capture photos that feel real and full of heart.
Your memories are happening right now, even on the days that feel ordinary or messy. These photographs become more valuable as time passes, reminding you not just of how your family looked, but how this season felt. If you have been considering booking a maternity, newborn, or family session, now is a wonderful time to reach out. I would love to help you preserve this chapter in a way that feels relaxed, meaningful, and true to you.
