I love this little guy so much! He has such this sweet spirit. I love so much getting to know families as their children grow up. It’s so fun to see who within just months at a time, how much they change and start becoming less of children and so much more like little grown-ups. This little guy is no exception. Thank you so much to his mommy for allowing me to be a part of photographing his milestones. I so enjoy knowing your family! Happy 3d birthday Mr. I. :-)
I love this photo so very much! Thank you for allowing me to capture you big day!!!
I had my first birth photography client over two years ago. Since then, I’ve photographed a handful of births which has been a real privilege and oh, so very cool!! :-) I love photographing the birth of babies! As you likely can tell already, I’m not exclusively a birth photographer. It is just one of the types of photography sessions I offer. Contrary to what most people have in their mind as birth photography, it is something that is so amazingly beautiful, never gross and just a wonderful photographic documentary of labor and delivery the day your baby makes their entrance into the world.
But just like with any other ‘luxury’ item in this world, maybe birth photography is not your cup of tea. However, what about a Fresh 48 Session?? I can’t take credit for the name of this session. It was a GENIUS idea from another birth photographer in a very secret birth photography group that I am a part of. (wouldn’t you like to know!!?? Sorry! My lips are sealed.) :-)
So I must give credit where credit is due. Thank you so much Jessica Strom (www.jessicastrom.net) for not only coming up with this awesome option for new parents, but for also giving us permission to use the idea for our own businesses. You are so awesome!
So, here’s the deal.
A Fresh 48 Session is a lifestyle session of new baby either the day of the birth (if possible) or within the first 48 hours of birth. This session MUST take place where your baby was born (hospital, birth center or home) and must be booked at least 2 weeks in advance.
Session fee is $350.00 and includes up to 1 hour of shooting, 25 hand edited, full resolution digital files with print release and looks something like this:

What a lovely family I got to meet and photograph recently. We had such a good time! :-) I really do have the best clients!
There is no denying it. I love wall collages! I mean, what’s more awesome than seeing your beautiful family in bright, colorful photographs decorating your walls and adding character to your home?? ;-) In my dream world, all of my clients would have at least one large wall display in their home. So you can imagine that it tickles me pink when clients want me to help them design a wall display. <3
Let’s say that you want to begin (‘begin’ being the important word here) a wall collage on your large stairway in your home. You want to have a starting point. A foundation where you can showcase some favorite photographs right now and then add to the collage as your family grows. And don’t stress out about filling the starter collage with photographs. Instead, place cool fabric OR special keepsake items in the frame/spot for the time being. Then, when you have just the right photos to add, you can do so. I would suggest starting the collage in the center of your staircase. That way, you can easily add frames and canvases to each end to grow your collage so that eventually it spans your entire staircase. I also have decided to add in some colored frames. I think it just softens the whole look. What do you think?? :-)
{Option A}
{Option B}
{Option C}
And here is a side by side comparison.
OMG are you serious! How could anytone choose. They are all fabulous BUT if I HAD to choose, I would say number three, but again, all three are just wonderful 
I like the first one best, but they really are all fabulous!
Thank you so much ladies! The client actually chose B. I favored A.
I love these layouts. Doing all the work of measuring and hanging in one go and then adding the perfect photos later would make life so much easier. I also like your suggestion to center the display on the wall so you can add to the ends later. Brilliant!
My husband and I wanted to try and replicate Option B for our staircase and I was wondering if you could provide any details on the size frames for purchase. Thank you and merry Christmas.
Hi, Lauren! So glad you like the displays. Option B: The smallest pics are 5×7′s. There are 13 of those. The next size are 8×10′s in 11×14 frames/mats. There are 4 of those. Then there is one square 15×15 of the family. And there are 2 11/14′s one with a larger mat and one with a smaller mat. Hope this helps.
There was a time when I thought being a good photographer meant that all your photographs have to be processed the same way. “They” say, you’ve got to me consistent with your brand and people hire you for a look that is uniquely you. Well, that is all fine and dandy in some slightly boring world. ha! I mean, there is no denying with a quick look at my portfolio that I like clean, bright, classically processed images. I don’t mess with too many different trends in processing anymore. Most of my images are consistent in post processing, but there is often one image from every session that just deserves a sort of different look when it comes to processing. And this image was that image recently. It just didn’t look right all super bright and bold in color. Some might say the image is a little muted and that’s cool. To me what is important is taking each image and making it the best it can be…and 99% of the time it’s one way. The other 1% is better somewhat different and for me, this is okay. What do you think? I think it needs to be really big on canvas. <3
{And oh, by the way, this was shot at 6400 ISO. Photographers, don’t be afraid to crank up that ISO to get the shot. Just be sure to meter perfectly.}
Beautiful picture!
Thank you so much!
This would be my third wedding to date that I have photographed myself. I began photographing weddings in the Houston area about a year ago. I was what they consider a 2nd shooter, which means I help another photographer photograph larger weddings to ensure no shots are missed. However, with smaller weddings with let’s say 150 people or less, often times only one photographer may be necessary to capture the special day. Case in point; the most recent wedding I photographed. I am taking on only a few weddings per year and on a case by case basis. So, if you might be interested in hiring me to be your wedding photographer, please contact me so we can discuss the details and see if we would be a fit for each other.
But until then, please enjoy just a few of the many favorites I had from this wedding.
I just love our wedding pictures!! You’re amazing – I can’t wait for another “life event” so we can have you capture it! 
This baby girl’s mommy was buying things for her newborn session in her first trimester. <3 I can’t wait to share with you all her fun ‘ensembles’ soon. But for now, I’m keeping it simple with one of my (many) favorites!
Precious!
What a privilege to photograph this family again. It’s been two years and wow, how their son has grown!
