“…Take me to your sunny side of love, That’s right where we belong…”  -Aerosmith 

It was a hot, triple digit kind of day, but they were complete rockstars and fully embraced all of my silliness and games.  Just look at all those smiles… and all that LOVE!  Sweet, summer of sunshine, I adore them!  Mom and I go way back, like wayyyyy back.  So nothing makes my heart happier than being able to capture her with her loves.  I mean, do sisters get any sweeter than this?!  Since they enjoy all things music, we *had* to have a little jam session and what a treat for me.  I was so relaxed at one point that I forgot I was taking their pictures.  It was an awesome afternoon!  And just incase you missed it on Instagram, check out their little Walk This Way video.               [Read more…]

A camera didn’t make a great picture any more than a typewriter wrote a great novel. – Peter Adams  It’s all about how you use it and that’s why I LOVE my iPhone!  It’s small but packs a big punch and thanks to the help of waterproofing technology, I’ve been having a great time with underwater photography this summer.  It’s challenging, but the results are so much fun.  I only have a few spots still available for my Summertime Splash Sessions so be sure and contact me today if you’re interested so I can get you on the calendar!  In the meantime, check out Mr. Cool… 😉   [Read more…]

It seems like just yesterday she was calling me Aunt “Chessa” and now, as plain as day, I’m Aunt Tressa.  It feels like it happened overnight and now sweet Maddie has turned the BIG six.  I would be lying if I told you I don’t miss hearing “Chessa”, but it’s also really awesome getting to watch her grow into such a unique and wonderful little girl.  I love everything about her and that I get to help document these special moments that go by oh so fast.  If you want to take a trip down memory lane with me, then be sure and check out the images from her fourth and fifth Birthday parties.  It’s so much fun to look back!  This year’s party was allllllll about Frozen and there was even a special guest appearance from Queen Elsa herself.  The looks on their faces when she arrived to the party are *priceless*!  It was such a fun day with Maddie and her friends… aren’t they the cutest?!

‘TWO’TALLY AWESOME | dallas, tx family lifestyle photography

Lifestyle Family Photography in Dallas Fort Worth by www.tressavent.com

Oh this family… they are the absolute sweetest!  You might remember their ‘One’derland session from last year.  We had just as much fun this year and not only is little Ms. cutie the BIG *two* now, but she is also going to be a BIG sister this Fall.  I’m so excited for their growing family and adore all of the images we got to help document this special time.  Mom and Dad are pro’s at being in the moment and allowing me to capture all of the love that they have for each other.  There was plenty of laughing, playing and a whole lotta lovin’.  You don’t want to miss this fun little video from their session, catch me if you can.  And can you believe all of the beautiful light we got?!  They were glowing!  I’m so glad that we did not listen to the 60 percent chance of rain and thunderstorm weather reports.  Which is why I just don’t trust them.  Good ‘ole Texas weather!  😉  Everything was perfect… so very perfect.

IT ALL STARTED WHEN | dallas, tx family portrait photography

Family Portrait Photography in DFW by www.tressavent.com

… these two fell in love.  Now, 40 years of marriage later, it doesn’t take much to see how much they adore each other and how proud they are of their kids, in-laws and that sweet grandson.  I love that they planned this special family vacation for all of them to be together and to enjoy some time at the lake.  And I *really* love that they chose me to help capture them.  What an honor and how special to have these memories!  There was lots of smiling, laughing and joking around.  They are the kind of family that you instantly feel like you’ve known for years, so warm and welcoming.  I really enjoyed my time with them and love all of the images we got.  Here are some of my favorites…   [Read more…]

THE FLIRT | dallas, tx family lifestyle photographer

This little man is quite the flirt and really LOVED the camera!  He definitely stole my heart for a second time.  The first time was at his newborn session and I can’t believe that he used to be just 5lbs.  He’s not so little anymore and he has *the* cutest personality with some really awesome dance moves.  Oh how the girls are going to eat him up!  I *really* wanted to take him home with me, he’s just so sweet!  But between Mom and PaPa, I would not have gotten far.  Speaking of PaPa, he was the best smile assistant EVER.  He pulled out all of the tricks and has some pretty sweet dance moves himself.  😉  I’m so glad they made time for me to capture some portraits during their visit home with family.  It was really special to get to see them again!   [Read more…]

GIGGLES & LOVE | dallas, tx family lifestyle photographer

www.tressavent.com-Lifestyle-Family-Portraits-Allen-TX-Photographer

This session is full of so much happiness and I love that as I look through these images, I can hear sweet little Ab’s giggle.  It’s the cutest and you can’t help but join in when you hear it!  By the way, did you see the bluebonnet tackle?  Oh how we laughed!  She has grown so much from our last session and is still quite the explorer, but with a bit more speed this time around.  😉  She comes by it honestly as her parent’s are very active… they love running and playing together as a family.  In fact, her beautiful Momma completed the Boston Marathon just a week before this session.  How cool is that?!  I’m not sure I would be able to move and yet, there she was, running in her wedges and having the best time with her awesome little family.  And since Ab is all about Frozen right now, it only seemed appropriate that we end the session with some princess dress-up and a serenade of Let It Go.  What a wonderful afternoon!   [Read more…]

Lifestyle newborn portraits by www.tressavent.com in Frisco, TX

Sometimes getting younger siblings to participate in newborn sessions can be pretty challenging… but WOW, what a sweet big sister M is!  She has taken on her new role with so much love that it resulted in nothing short of a magical afternoon of snuggles and lots and lots of kisses.  What an honor to get to help capture that for them!  I can’t wait for them to look back on these as they get older.  Makes me all warm and fuzzy!  And those images of Mom with her baby girl?  They way she looks at her, kisses her little fingers… I melt, I seriously melt!  You *have* to check out the video below… so many lovely moments!    [Read more…]
