On-location custom baby, child and senior photography – Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas
Julie and I were in the same sorority back in college and I hadn’t heard from her in years. Enter Facebook. It’s been so nice to reconnect and hang out after all these years. She now lives in Oklahoma as a successful attorney – sorry Julie, had to brag on ya! 
She and her husband were in town a couple weeks ago and we had a great time – we grabbed these shots at my house as she wanted some new head shots. Julie, you’re gorgeous! Hope you don’t mind me posting these!
Oh my goodness, I hope I look this gorgeous when pregnant! Wow! This was a fun and challenging shoot because if you know my work, you know I typically shoot outdoors, using natural light. It was so cold on the day of her shoot that we needed to shoot indoors. But I still used natural light – the best, in my opinion. I cannot believe we made a makeshift “studio” at the doctor’s office she works at. It really goes to show that you can shoot just about anywhere. And I absolutely love that part of my job! Kayla, there were so many to choose from but these are some of my faves. I can’t wait to shoot the birth and baby’s first pictures! You are simply stunning girl!! Enjoy!
They didn’t want to know the sex of the baby – so we played off of that – can’t wait to find out!
I really wanted to get some cute “bundled up and cozy” pics of these two outdoors. They were real troopers!
Well happy birthday to me! Just found out I won another “Image of the Week” on NAPCP! Yay!!! Thanks NAPCP! Here is the winning photo:
You can view the rest of this session here.
- love those little feet! congrats!
This little chunky monkey cracked me up! He is the cutest thing and I couldn’t get enough of him – thanks to his mom for letting me hang around to get a bunch! His father is a police officer so we honored him with some images with his hat. Thank you “F” family for selecting me to photograph “B’s” 6 month pics. Hope we can work together again!
Some faves:
Couldn’t resist these photos of adorable big sister “M” in her pretty black dress. I wish it hadn’t been so cold so we could have shot outside and had her dancing about in it:
And last but not least, all three gorgeous kids, big brother “R” with “M” and “B” – precious. Mom wanted this shot specifically. Love it.
- Cuuute! Love his little hat!
- BEAUTIFUL PICTURES - - - ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM!!!
- Thanks so much for the beautiful pictures of my children. It is too hard to pick a favorite!
- TOO CUTE! I want to just squeeze that little baby!
Happy new year friends! I’m not one for resolutions but I do anticipate a huge year of growth and change, both professionally and personally. God has blessed me with the opportunity to open a new studio! I can’t wait to host a grand opening and continue to grow my business meeting more fabulous people like you!
I also turn 35 this year, and no, it’s not a major birth year but for me, it’s somewhat of a “banner” year as I get closer to 40 and evaluate what is most important in life and where I want to be. As I was editing yesterday a song came on by Kari Jobe called “Beautiful”, a song I first heard at the Be Thou My Vision Retreat last summer. The words are so simple but so powerful and I want it to be my theme song for 2010. To make beautiful photographs, beautiful memories, a beautiful studio, beautiful friendships – but mostly to dwell on the beauty that is God.
Beautiful – Kari Jobe
Here before Your alter
I am letting go of all I’ve held
Of every motive, every burden
Everything that’s of myself
And I just wanna wait on You, my God
I just wanna dwell on who You are
Beautiful, beautiful
Oh, I am lost for more to say
Beautiful, beautiful
Oh Lord You’re beautiful to me
Here in Your presence
I am not afraid of brokenness
To wash Your feet with humble tears
I would be poured out till nothing’s left
And I just wanna wait on You, my God
I just wanna dwell on who You are
Beautiful, beautiful
Oh, I am lost for more to say
Beautiful, beautiful
Oh Lord You’re beautiful to me
Beautiful
You’re beautiful, oh You’re beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful
Holy, holy, holy You are, You are
Holy, holy, holy You are, You are
Holy, holy, holy You are, You are
Holy, holy, holy You are, You are
Beautiful, beautiful
Oh, I am lost for more to say
Beautiful, beautiful
Oh Lord You’re beautiful to me
You’re beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful

You’ve seen this little punkin on my blog and website before with his oh-so-stylish parents. I was so honored to photograph their newest family member, baby “H”, born ten days before Christmas. What a blessing!! “W” family – I simply adore you. Thank you for trusting me with your family photos again. I so enjoy our time together!!
A few faves-
SWOON!!!!!!
Little “L” was a sheriff for Halloween and we had to capture him in his adorable costume!
Every hard working sheriff needs a lollipop break – or as “L” would say “Lollicop!” He kept telling me how delicious it was. No “L”, I think you’re the delicious one!
Enough of that…let’s play in the leaves! Oh yes, I was covered in them. And I loved every minute of it!
A moment with dad:
And now I present, baby sis “H”…
Her beautiful nursery (mom Tracy has amazing style!)
- Heather, these adorable little ones "L" and "H" are my grandchildren! There is no way of adequately expressing appreciation for your capturing these MOMENTS...which are the dearest things in our lives. THANK YOU is not enough! I know Tracy instigated it, but you caught the moments. L and H are soooo beyond precious to us. THANK YOU for using your God-given gifts, for pursuing your PASSION and TALENTS. He is blessing it! And we are blessed BY it! Warmly, Paula
- Paula, you just made my day. Wow - thank you for your kind words. You have a beautiful daughter (inside and out) and grandchildren and I'm so blessed to know them and photograph them!
- I love these, Heather. I did 2 newborn sessions this past month and I am hooked. Ahhh, you got a yawn!
- Thank you Linda - aren't newborns the most fun? And I was super lucky to catch that yawn! :)
Every Thanksgiving we gather at my parent’s house for my mom’s amazing cooking. And every Thanksgiving I bring my camera to photograph my youngest niece, Sailor, who turns another year older that same week. This year, she turned 8 and I think we have a future model on our hands. Hello Crew Cuts – are you seeing this? Enjoy these faves of this cutie and her gorgeous older sis, Erin.
- These are SO cute!! What adorable girls!!
- Look at those angel girls! Good job H...
- I can't believe how big they are. What happened to Erin's white hair?
- thanks ladies!
- I LOVE THESE!!! What adorable girls! They are just the way I love to shoot girls...sassy with a side of attitude :)
- What a little firecracker! I love her eyes and (the dress of course) The girls are gorgeous!
A couple of teasers from a recent session with sweet five-day-old baby girl “H”. I’m in love!!
- Love this photo! Months ago I emailed you asking for your advice on cameras as I was switching from film to digital. Now I have my first digital SLR(Canon Rebel- this you suggested). I LOVE it and have already been offered money to take pictures of a family. Your photos continue to inspire me as I explore the world of digital photography...thank you for taking the time to answer the questions I had. God Bless! Eileen
- Aw I'm so glad it's working out for you Eileen! Thank you so much for your kind words! Blessings to you!!
Oh dear – I’m way overdue in posting the fabulous Tori. This high school athlete was such a joy to photograph. She claims she didn’t know what she was doing but just look at her! Tori, you are beautiful and I wish you much success in your future endeavors. Such a pleasure to photograph you!
Enjoy these faves!
Here is the cover of the book I did for her – she wanted something pink:
- Beautiful!
This past May John and I celebrated our five year anniversary. I had this idea that I’d love to do a photo shoot of us with our dogs, Lucy and Lola (who are basically our children – yes, we’re those people.) John and I got married in Mexico and didn’t have a big-time wedding photographer – just a local that did a good job capturing the gorgeous day but didn’t get a lot of the artistic, emotional shots I’ve come to love. I met Scarlett a little over a year ago when I second shot a couple weddings for her – we met through emailing after I won a contest on her blog. We would later come to grow really close and she has been an amazing prayer partner and sister in Christ. I love this girl. I knew I wanted her to photograph us and get those shots that we never got – she has such a way of capturing the love between people. We finally were able to get her here last weekend and I had a fun time showing her Dallas and just hanging out. John had fun teaching her to play Guitar Hero – she should probably stick with photography. Hee hee The shoot took place on Saturday in 30 degree temps but I could not be any happier. We went for a vintage vibe (inspired by the vintage cameras I own, one of them being my grandmother’s.) I love that we were in a cotton field too – my great grandfather was a cotton farmer!! Thank you, Scarlett, for your friendship and for this beautiful gift you’ve given us. What a blessing you are!
Here are a few from our shoot – there are so many I couldn’t post them all. Please go check our her blog for the rest of them and to watch a beautiful slideshow to music she put together: http://www.scarlettlillian.net/
- You are so BEAUTIFUL Heather! Great pictures.
- Heather you're just too cute....
- amazing! love love love them.
- thank you sweet girls!!
- Beautiful shoot!! It is so fun to have couple shoots after you're married. You guys are a gorgeous couple and I love the shots with the camera! Scarlett did a wonderful job.
