Babies cry and have difficulty settling down for a variety of reasons. Here are a few steps that I as a professional newborn photographer (and mom!) take in order to calm baby and put her into a gentle sleep. Parents are always so amazed when they come to my studio in...

Dreaming somewhere among the stars. There is some Dreaming somewhere among the stars. There is something so peaceful about those first few weeks, when the days are slow, the world is still brand new, and somehow they can sleep through just about anything. For now, this little dreamer is perfectly content sleeping on the moon. #FriscoNewbornPhotographer #DallasNewbornPhotographer #DFWNewbornPhotographer #FriscoBabyPhotographer #DallasBabyPhotographer #DFWBabyPhotographer #NewbornPhotography #NewbornPhotographer #BabyPhotography #NewbornPortraits #NewbornPhotos #LuxuryNewbornPhotography #FineArtNewbornPhotography #DallasMoms #FriscoMoms #DFWMoms
Newborn sessions are about so much more than photo Newborn sessions are about so much more than photographing a new baby. They are about documenting the family that changed the moment that baby arrived: the proud big sisters, the tiny hands reaching for him, the way everyone suddenly fits together a little differently than they did before. Baby may be at the center of the session, but the story has always been about all of you. #FriscoNewbornPhotographer #DallasNewbornPhotographer #DFWNewbornPhotographer #FriscoFamilyPhotographer #DallasFamilyPhotographer #DFWFamilyPhotographer #DallasBabyPhotographer #FriscoBabyPhotographer #NewbornPhotography #NewbornPhotographer #NewbornFamilyPhotos #NewbornSiblingPhotos #SiblingPhotography #FamilyNewbornSession #LifestyleNewbornPhotography #LuxuryNewbornPhotography #DallasMoms #FriscoMoms
Tiny fingers, sleepy cheeks, and a little boy curl Tiny fingers, sleepy cheeks, and a little boy curled up beneath the branches as though this is simply where babies go to dream. These are the kinds of portraits I love creating during newborn sessions: a little whimsical, a little unexpected, and filled with all the magic of being brand new. #FriscoNewbornPhotographer #DallasNewbornPhotographer #DFWNewbornPhotographer #FriscoNewbornPhotography #DallasNewbornPhotography #DFWBabyPhotographer #NewbornPhotography #NewbornPhotographer #BabyPhotographer #NewbornPortraits #FineArtNewbornPhotography #LuxuryNewbornPhotographer #NewbornArt #BabyPhotography #FriscoPhotographer #DallasPhotographer
From sleepy newborn snuggles to the happiest littl From sleepy newborn snuggles to the happiest little ONE. I first photographed this sweet boy when he was brand new, and getting to have him back in the studio a whole year later — now with the biggest smile and a personality all his own — is one of my favorite parts of what I do. Happy ONE, little prince. It has been such a joy watching you grow. #DallasCakeSmashPhotographer #FriscoCakeSmashPhotographer #DallasBabyPhotographer #FriscoBabyPhotographer #DallasNewbornPhotographer #FriscoNewbornPhotographer #DFWNewbornPhotographer #DFWBabyPhotographer #DallasChildrensPhotographer #FriscoChildrensPhotographer #DFWPhotographer #FirstBirthdayPhotography #CakeSmashPhotography #OneYearPhotos #BabyMilestonePhotography #MilestonePhotographer #FirstBirthdayPortraits #LuxuryBabyPhotography
The magic is always in the details. For this lit The magic is always in the details. For this little prince, we built a world of jewel-toned blues, warm gold, grand palace arches, and a custom peacock created especially for his celebration. I love designing birthday sets that feel less like a backdrop and more like stepping into a story — even if only for an afternoon. #DallasCakeSmash #FriscoCakeSmash #DallasCakeSmashPhotography #FriscoCakeSmashPhotography #DallasBabyPhotographer #FriscoBabyPhotographer #DFWNewbornPhotographer #DallasNewbornPhotographer #FriscoNewbornPhotography #DFWChildrensPhotographer #DallasFamilyPhotographer #LuxuryBabyPhotographer #LuxuryChildrensPhotography #CakeSmashPhotographer #FirstBirthdayPortraits #MilestonePhotography #CustomCakeSmash #DFWPhotographer
Once upon a time, in a little blue-and-gold palace Once upon a time, in a little blue-and-gold palace… a prince turned ONE. And naturally, the occasion called for royal arches, golden details, one very handsome peacock, and just a little bit of cake. #FriscoCakeSmash #DallasCakeSmash #DFWCakeSmashPhotographer #FriscoBabyPhotographer #DallasBabyPhotography #DallasNewbornPhotography #FriscoNewbornPhotographer #DFWNewbornPhotographer #DallasKidsPhotographer #FriscoKidsPhotographer #FirstBirthdayPhotographer #CakeSmashSession #LuxuryCakeSmashPhotography #MilestonePhotographer #BabyPhotography #ChildrensPortraits #FirstBirthdaySession #DFWPhotography
