Dallas Arboretum Maternity Portraits: Stephanie & Michael

Back in the summer, I photographed Stephanie's maternity session just days before her little girl was born! I'm certain that she and Michael are amazing parents, and I hope their first year of parenting is going well. I have to say that I was impressed that Stephanie was willing to tromp around the Arboretum in the summer heat so close to her due date!

Addison Circle: Hammer Family Portraits

I met up with the Hammer family at Addison Circle on little Miss Sophia's first birthday. Her grandparents were in town for the occasion, so it was the perfect time for an extended family portrait session! I've been shooting more and more of these sessions that include the whole family, and I really enjoy the challenge. Heck, I've shot two extended family portrait sessions in the last week, with groups of 10 and 14, including numerous small children. The Hammer family's session was comparatively very easy with only one baby to cajole smiles out of! Isn't Sophia such a cutie?

North Dallas Extended Family Portraits: The Barth Family

Back in December, while the whole extended Barth family was in town for the holidays, they gathered at their mother and grandmother's home in north Dallas for a portrait session with yours truly. We made use of the pyracantha bush in Carol's backyard for a simple, colorful backdrop in the middle of winter. Carol, her 4 sons and their families are a riot, and a lot of fun to photograph. Thanks again, Barth family!
