Christening Coming Soon! - Woodlands TX Baby Photographer

This afternoon, I met the sweetest little boy. Oh, I could have kept him. I met them at the car and his mama just handed him right to me. And he was happy as a clam just to hang out with me the rest of the session, when he wasn't checking out the studio.

He was at the studio today to start his Tippy Toes plan. And perfect timing, as he is being Christened in two weeks, so this dapper little guy needed his portrait taken in this super fantsy outfit. I don't think anyone has ever been this dressed up in my studio, so he wins the award. He looked so nice. He will be a stunner at his Christening. We even too a few photos with his big sister, whom I learned is a connoisseur of Ramen noodles. Yummy, I'm going to try her special recipe this week. Thanks Miss G. Enjoy the sneak peak.

How old is your child? almost 8 months old
What is your favorite things that he does? When he laughs he has a chuckle.
What is the thing that you find most challenging? That he still gets up every 3 hrs and doesn't nap much in the day!

What is he really into right now? Everything, but he loves his sister!
What is something that you just love to do with him? Kiss his neck.
What is your favorite thing that he does, body part or noise that he makes? (I love this question!) He makes faces with his tongue.

Personalized Baby Block - Houston TX Newborn Photographer

Last week, when I shot Mr. L, he had the cutest block that someone gave them as a gift. It was just beautiful and I'm sure he will have it for a very long time. Well, he will probably chew, throw, hide, sit, etc with it for a very long time. But you know what I mean.

So I did a couple of extra shots of him with it. I especially love the shot of his tiny fingers around it. Oh, they are only this tiny for such a very short time.

What a precious gift with all of his memories in one place! If you would like to give a gift like this to someone you know. Here is the link. It is very affordable. Love it! Tell them I sent you.

Enjoy!

BFF LOL - Woodlands TX Teen Photographer

Sometimes I get to do something a little different. Shooting pregnant mamas and babies is what I do. So having teenagers in the studio is a switch and I almost didn't know what to do! But eventually we got on a role and ended up with a bunch of fabulous photos. Shooting teenagers that take directions is so much easier than babies and toddlers. :)

You guys might recognize Miss C, as she has been in the KP Photo family since the creation. She has been on the blog several times. This time she brought her friend Miss M. Enjoy the sneak peak you guys. The rest will be up later.

Gifts for Grandma - Woodlands TX, Child Photographer

Tonight I met one of my Tippy Toes families out at a local park to take some family photos. They wanted to get a jump on the holidays and take some photos of the grandkids, while they were all together this week. (A possible gift for the grandparents for the holidays!) What a fabulous idea! And what a lucky set of grandparents, as these cute girls were so nice, had so much fun together (even though it was so hot) and even though the little one was so tired, I managed to a get few good ones. Thanks for hanging in there ladies!

What is the occasion for this photo session? A Christmas present for their grandparents. The oldest of the group goes to college in West Virginia so it is rare to have them together.

Tell me the names and ages of the children. K - 21; B - 9; C - 6 mos.

What do you love best about the kids? I love the energy that my little ones have.

When the kids get together, what are some of the best things that happen? K is a bit older so the younger ones look up to her. To have the older cousin play with them and just be silly is a lot of fun.

What do the grandparents do with the kids that they just love? The grandparents have a farm with horses, dogs, cats, donkey, etc. Getting to go to their house and play with the animals is something they look forward to.

No Monkey Business Here, just sleep - West U TX Newborn Photographer

I welcomed in a new member of the KP Photo family today. Mr. L was born last week to one of our sexy mammas. You might remember her maternity shoot that I posted a few weeks back. But today was all about Mr. L. He was so cooperative! A good two hours of photos and not one peep. A photographers dream. So these parents are going to have a hard time choosing! He was just too beautiful! Some days I just love my job. Thanks you guys, he was perfect and you will be pleased with the shots. Here are some to get you started.

Is this your first baby? Yes

Is motherhood going better or worse than you anticipated? Better

What is the best thing about being a new mom? Having the cutest baby in the world to love.

What do you find most challenging? Recovering from a c-section and breastfeeding

What was the last time you slept longer than 2 hours? And be honest. Or can you remember? At the hospital, when breastfeeding failed and the nurses offered to take him for the night.

What is your favorite thing about him? When he falls asleep in my arms on my chest, when he smiles, or makes a funny noise to get our attention.

Do you have any words of wisdom for other new mom's to be out there? Some baby books are boring and some are great but you forget everything since the baby hasn't arrived yet. Focus on everything you need to know during the FIRST WEEK of baby's life. Like what their sleeping habits are supposed to be and not just that they sleep all the time. How often they wet/soil a diaper and not just that diaper changes occur often. What exactly you need to do for breastfeeding and that it's more challenging than it seems. Other things beyond the first week are important too but the first week was the most challenging for me just because I'm new and honestly did not know what to expect or what I'm doing.

What do you imagine your baby being when he or she grows up? No idea... but I hope he's good at math. (This mamma is in the financial realm when she isn't doing her motherly duties.)

What are you most looking forward to teaching him or doing with him in the future? With mom, baking. With dad, sports.

What is one wish you have for your baby in the future? To become a genuinely good person despite all the influences in today's society and to be good to his mom (and dad but more mom).

Fun in the Sun at 1 - Houston TX Child Photographer

Miss C has been seen around the blog quite a bit. I took her photos before she arrived, her newborn, 3, 6, 9 and now here is her 1st year photo debut. She has grown into a beautiful little thing. So fully of personality and man can she swim! I need to take Caden over and have her teach him.

I met Miss C and her family at their home on Friday evening for a fantastic evening of swimming. She showed off her love of the water and we got some beautiful shots of everyone involved. Enjoy the sneak peak you guys!

How cute is this one?

How old is your child? 12.5 mos

What is your favorite thing about her? Her curiosity

What do you find most challenging? making time for everyone but we manage somehow. Guess I'm just really hard on myself about that one.

How has she changed most over the last year? she advances in leaps n bounds bc if her siblings. She tries everything once then she is a pro.

If you had to guess, what you do think she will be in the future? an engineer, she likes to put things together, the smaller the better

What are you favorite times with her? I like watching her independence and experimenting, she's very inquisitive

What is she really into right now? walking, walking n walking

When she is a teenager, and won't listen to you anymore. What are some words of wisdom you would like her to know? Judging from her character now, nothing is impossible for her

Love those baby blues!

Thirteen going on 30 - Houston TX Teen Photographer

You might recognize Ms. E from the family shoot I posted last week. We extended the family shoot and did her 13th birthday photos at the end. She was a trooper and hung in there in the heat with us. Climbed rocks in her heels, sat in dirt in her white dress, sweated all over the place, etc. She now knows what it is like to be a model. Definitely not glamorous. But I got some fabulous photos, so everything turns out for the best. Although her mom probably won't be happy, because a lot of them don't look 13, sorry mom. :( I tried. They just grow up way too fast. Ms. E, try to act young for your mom for another year or so. You guys enjoy the sneaky!

What is the best this about your child? tender heart
What do you find most challenging? high maintenance

When do you just love, love, love your child the most? Watching her from afar. Seeing her sweet caring disposition
What is your child really into right now? Facebook, friends, volleyball, and a new love of tennis
What do you do to make your child laugh? Laughing is easy, E has a slap stick humor and we all laugh together

When your child grows up and is a teenager (which she already is) that won't
listen to you, what is one piece of advise you will give?
