Hello 2026: Fort Worth Newborn and Family Photographer

As I step into 2026, my heart is overflowing with gratitude. Looking back on 2025 at Paula Goforth Photography, I can honestly say it was one of the fullest and most beautiful years of my life.

It was a year of growth, community, sweet babies, deep connections, and chasing that golden Texas light any chance I could. In a sea of incredible talent, you chose me, and I will never take that lightly.

This work has always been so much more than clicking a camera. It is connection. It is intention. It is trust. It is heart.

Every maternity session, every newborn snuggle, and every family laugh reminded me why I started this journey in the first place. Being invited into some of the most meaningful chapters of your lives is a gift I hold close.

2025 stretched me in the best ways. From sold out workshops and full calendars to growing my education, building a stronger team, and learning to set clearer boundaries, this season asked me to rise.

I am incredibly proud of the work that happened behind the scenes and deeply thankful for the support that carried me through it all.

This past year, I truly honed in on my passion for maternity, newborn, and family photography. I spent countless hours learning, relearning, and studying my craft, knowing full well that growth is a lifelong process.

I photographed 393 sessions in 2025 and somehow still cannot get enough. I absolutely love this adventure, and I feel so blessed to call it my work.

Beyond the business, 2025 taught me some important lessons. It reminded me to slow down, to be present, and to trust God more deeply with my family, my work, and the seasons in between.

I learned that being busy is not the goal and that the most meaningful moments often happen when we choose to pause and soak it all in.

As I look ahead to 2026, my words for the year are Freedom and Reset. I am leaning into slower, more intentional sessions filled with connection, meaningful places, and room for creativity. I am also protecting my personal time with family and trusting God fully with the direction ahead.

There are big plans coming, and I am praying that 2026 will be my best year yet for my business, my family, and my heart. Thank you for following along, for cheering me on, and for supporting this dream of mine. I cannot wait to continue creating heartfelt art and meaningful memories with families in the year ahead. My heart is so full, and I am so excited for everything still to come 🤍
