SO MUCH SWEETNESS| dallas, tx newborn lifestyle photographer

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…]

HAPPY CAMPER | dallas, tx newborn lifestyle photography

Newborn Lifestyle Portraits in Dallas TX by www.tressavent.com

This sweet little one definitely wins the award for smiliest newborn.  He was such a happy camper and already has the cutest personality.  Mom & Dad have quite the ham on their hands… he was *all* about the camera!  Being that we waited around 3 weeks to do his session, we got so many adorable facial expressions and really awesome eye contact.  And watching Mom & Dad take it all in was really special, they obviously love him to the moon and back.  So very sweet… just check out the below video and see for yourself.  PS – Just incase you missed them, you can find a couple more of my favorites here and here.    [Read more…]

BABY LOVE | dallas, tx newborn lifestyle photographer

Newborn Lifestyle Portraits by www.tressavent.com

This guy came into the world like a *boss* at 9lbs 12oz and 22 inches.  He is such a sweet, snugly baby with awesome parents that I’m lucky enough to call friends.  I couldn’t be happier for them and look forward to watching Baby P grow up.  As I sit here writing this, all bundled up from the freezing weather, I can’t believe that we took these just earlier this week in much warmer temperatures.  I’m so glad that it worked out the way it did because they live on the most beautiful property… everything was so perfect and Baby P was such a rockstar.  And, wowzers, check out those peepers, such a handsome little dude!  Big brother still isn’t real sure what to think about all it all, but I know that soon enough they will be best buds.  See more images…  [Read more…]

LITTLE MAN | dallas, tx newborn lifestyle photographer

Lifestyle newborn portrait session by www.tressavent.com

This little man is so precious…  I instantly fell in love with him and his sweet parents at this session.  They make such a beautiful family and their love for each other is so strong.  I’m honored that they choose me to help capture this special time for them before Dad had to head back to duty in Afghanistan.  I can’t imagine how hard that is for all of them, but hopefully these images will help provide some level of comfort during their time apart.  I know they are counting the days until they get to be together again.  My love and heartfelt thanks to this beautiful family for all that they are doing to serve our country.  {PS – In case you missed them, there are a few more sneak peeks here, here and here} See more images…  [Read more…]

Oh my goodness, it was such a pleasure capturing this sweet baby girl with her awesome, loving parents.  Isn’t she adorable!?  I love that we were able to get both sleepy and awake images… she has such beautiful eyes!  I had a great time hanging out with them and look forward to watching her grow.   She is such a precious angel, who is already loved by so many.  Mom and Dad are doing such a wonderful job!  {PS, If you missed their maternity session you can check it out here.}  See more images…  [Read more…]

SWEET MOMENTS | dallas, tx family lifestyle photographer

I absolutely adore all the sweet moments that were captured during this at home lifestyle session.  I know that Mom and Dad were probably a little concerned with what I was able to get since big brother also had a couple of 2 year old moments (teehehe).  But that’s what toddlers do, so it’s really to be expected and nothing out of the ordinary… we just took our time and went with the flow which in-return gave us some beautiful photographs.  🙂  You really can’t rush these types of things and is another reason why I really LOVE doing lifestyle sessions in the comfort of your own home.  You can take a break whenever you need too and the little ones really enjoy being in their own environment.  And, as a photographer, it provides a great opportunity for me capture you and your family as you are and how you interact together on a daily basis.  Which by the way, the refrigerator shot above is one of my favorite ‘in between’ moments from this session with him up on his little tippy toes.  I know it’s not exactly a canvas worthy type of capture, but opening the fridge is something he has just learned to do so in return it has really been keeping Mom and Dad on their tippy toes!  It’s those ‘in between’ moments that really help share your story and document your lives together so that you can always revisit those little memories that might otherwise be forgotten.  It’s always a great pleasure getting to capture such special times in peoples lives and this session was no different.  I really enjoyed meeting this sweet family and getting a glimpse of their beautiful life together!

OH BOY… SWEET BABY BOY | dallas, tx lifestyle newborn photographer

Meet my nephew…  such a sweet, cuddly, smiley, handsome baby boy!  I can’t tell you how excited I was to finally get to meet him, hold him, love on him and of course photograph him.  He totally rocked his session and I honestly don’t think I could pick out just one favorite image.  There are so many sweet moments.  He is absolutely precious and makes my heart completely happy!  They make a beautiful family and you can feel the love that they have for each other.  It was a special day and I can’t help but get a little teary eyed looking through their session.  He is already getting so big!  Thank you Taylor and Matt for trusting me to capture such a special time in your lives… I love you and can’t wait to see you grow as a family!  {PS… If you missed Taylor & Matt’s maternity session you can check it out here.  So much FUN!}

Here are a few posed shots we did with Ryder’s blanket and a couple of hats he received as gifts…

And check out Baby Ryder’s nursery… I LOVE his custom bedding by our seriously talented Aunt Pat.  It’s perfect!

{If you are expecting, I would love to work with you!  A maternity session during the last trimester is the perfect way to remember the beauty and gift of pregnancy.  Also, don’t forget that newborns are only teeny once.  You have about 10 days to capture the snuggly, soft, warm, fuzzy, bendy, perfect-in-every-way newborn stage of your baby.  It’s never too early to book a session… let’s talk!}

GREAT BEGINNINGS | dallas, tx lifestyle & philanthropic photographer

GREAT beginnings always start with GREAT people!  Michele’s Pinkle Toes Photography Professional Workshop was definitely not short of either.  It was 3 full days of awesomeness that ended just as great as it began!  I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to meet Michele and the fellow photogs that I can now call my friends.  I’m keeping my fingers crossed that we can all get together for a reunion in the near future!  It was truly a great beginning to my New Year and an experience I will never forget.  Here are some of my favorite photographs from the workshop… so, so fun!
