I love this beautiful couple so much!  They are dear, sweet friends so when they asked me to do their engagement photos I felt like I was going to burst with excitement.  And I also might have cried because I’m honestly *that* happy for them.  ;)  They are getting married in Maui this Fall {so awesome!} and although Galveston does not compare to Hawaii, it was the perfect setting for their beach themed session.    I really love the variety of images we got and all of the beautiful colors throughout.  And wouldn’t you know, we found the most wonderful field of wildflowers… so perfect!  They really made it so easy on me, such a fun and memorable session.  I can’t wait to celebrate with them on their special day… won’t be long now!   See more images…

It feels like just yesterday we were doing Patrick’s Navy ROTC session and now, in just a few short weeks, he will be graduating… oh how fast the time goes!  It was such a pleasure getting to work with him again and I am really excited to see him start the next chapter of his life.  He has a very bright future!  Many thanks Patrick for two wonderful senior sessions!  I really enjoyed my time with you and your parents and look forward to staying in touch.  See more images…

Is she not the sweetest little “Alice” in ‘One’derland you’ve ever seen?!  Those pretty blue eyes and blonde curls… I just want to eat her up she is so CUTE!  Her 1st Birthday is right around the corner and Mom & Dad wanted to do a session to help capture all of her awesomeness.  What a FUN age and precious little girl, she sure made it easy on me!  And although we fit a lot into this session… beautiful bluebonnet field, snuggles on the bed, cake smash and bath time… everything just seemed to fall into place perfectly.  Such an easy going and super sweet family!  I really enjoyed my time with them and know they are going to have a great time celebrating this cutie with friends and family soon.  Thanks you S Family for being so ‘one’derful to work with… sorry, I couldn’t resist!  See more images…

I love this time of year and LOVED working with this fun, beautiful, sweet family!  We could not have asked for better spring weather and Little Mr. was quite the entertainer… he had funny jokes and was a very helpful assistant during the shoot.  It was such a fun time, I really enjoyed my time with them and love the images we got from their session.  See more images…

The post FAMILY LOVE IN BLOOM = dallas, tx family portrait photographer appeared first on Tressavent Photography.

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… 

{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!  You can learn more about me here and my sessions here.}
