living doll | east texas baby photographer

Tammy — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 22:18:29 +0000

When I was a little girl, I absolutely loved playing with dolls. Seriously, my room was just full of them. I loved dressing them, accessorizing them, putting them in various pieces of furniture, hosting tea parties… you get the idea

Well, apparently I haven’t changed a whole lot! I had so much fun playing with a real life doll, baby *b*, who I had not seen since her newborn session 5 months ago. Mom came in with a couple bags of clothes, accessories, hats, bows, and baby legs (oh, how I love thee!). And I had such a good time, picking out clothes and accessories for baby *b*, who was such a little wide-eyed wonder the entire session.

Caution: if you don’t like looking at images of an adorable baby girl, you should stop reading right away!

Little Miss March:

I could eat this one with a spoon:

We ventured outside the studio for this one and I got lucky finding these leaves (making it look much more fall-like outside than it feels!):

Love this one of baby *b* and her Mommy — it really shows how their eyes are the same shade of beautiful deep blue:

Thanks *B* family, I had a great time playing dress up with your little doll

Until next time,

Tammy

This little blue eyed girl was so much fun! At nine months of age, she was full of personality and smiles. I did have to be quick to keep up with her (she was a mover!), but we ended up with so many great images from the session — I honestly had a hard time narrowing them down for a blog share.

Don’t believe me? See for yourself:

Love this one, right down to the little pursed lips

And even though big sister wasn’t officially there for a session, I just couldn’t resist her blue eyes either

To their Mom, *A*, your gallery will be up in a couple of days!

Until next time,

Tammy

his cuteness runneth over | marshall texas baby photographer

Tammy — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 01:15:49 +0000

I love photographing all ages of babies and children, but if I had to pick an absolute favorite age, it would probably be right around the 6 month mark. At that age, I can usually expect lots of big smiles, fun expressions, baby drool (love it!), playing with feet, clapping hands… it’s like every single thing they do is cute This particular session was a perfect example of six-month-old-cuteness. Meet baby *g* :

See?! See?! Totally cute:

I had a great time meeting baby *g* and his parents, they drove in from Marshall for the session. I think it was worth the trip, I loved what we ended up with. Gallery coming soon!

Until next time,

Tammy

it’s getting hot in here | tyler texas photographer

Tammy — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 02:12:35 +0000

Another great family session at the Rose Garden. I know, I know — I used to swear that location completely off (I kind of thought it was too “Tyler”). But, honestly, it’s a gorgeous location with plenty of open shade, loads of color and well, I do live in Tyler, so what’s so wrong with it being “too Tyler”? Like I’m too cool to shoot at a great location that is right under my nose, right?

Anyway, this sweet family is from Austin and a referral from a friend and neighbor via facebook . And even though it was incredibly warm hot the evening of the shoot, and we later ended up at my studio, we had a great time.

We started out with some family fun – Mom, Dad and six month old *w*. I have been so lucky to get such great captures with families lately, this one was no exception (if I do say so myself!):

Love these of Mom and baby *w* – yum!

Next, we decided to make the short drive to the studio for a few shots. This wasn’t in the original plan, but it worked out fabulously. Mom couldn’t have picked the wardrobe more perfectly for my space. See for yourself:

And this one makes me smile every time I look at it — oh, this little face!

Thanks, *R* family — it was great Gallery coming in a few days, hang tight!

Until next time,

Tammy

Have I mentioned before that I love my “job”? Nothing makes me happier than showing up for a session at a sublime location, with an adorably cute (and sweet!) little family and fabulous, golden light, just waiting to be captured. That was totally the scenario with the *L* family – Mom, Dad, two year old *z* and 5 week old baby girl *a*. I had such a good time getting to know them while we were shooting, I felt like I had known them forever. And honestly, trying to narrow down my favorites from this session was like trying to choose my favorite child. Impossible! I loved them all for different reasons

I have to start out by introducing little *z*. Insert happy sigh here. She is the tiniest, cutest little thing, who happened to be wearing this perfect little dress that had a slightly vintage feel to it (l.o.v.e.). She has big, brown, melt-your-heart eyes, and the best thing? The fact that she wanted to hold my hand when we would walk from place to place during the session. Insert another happy sigh here…

Next, some family time… the expressions, the light, the cute factor. Oh my goodness, I was in photographer sensory overload and shooting as fast as my little finger would let me…

A few of Mom and baby *a*, pretty girls…

Mom and Dad with their newest addition, little *a*:

Next, some of Dad with a couple of his favorite girls. I love both of these – the soft side of Dad and the fun side of Dad:

And last but not least, a shot of baby *a* by herself… she was so good, even at the end when I know she was tired and hungry. Isn’t she just yummy?!?

Thanks, *L* family – I hope you love them as much as I do. Gallery coming soon, I’ll be in touch!

Until next time,

Tammy

After a great hospital session, the *G* family came back to see me for a one month visit. As usual, I had such a great time during our session. We were able to catch up on how things were in “newborn land” and there is never a shortage of laughs. In fact, one of these days, I need to do an “outtake” blog post on the *G* family. Sometimes I end up with some really funny expressions…

Anyway, I thought I would do something different and let baby *G* just hang out. Sometimes, we work so hard getting the newborns all curled or placed in a basket (which I love and is always beautiful), that we miss some of who they really are. Those adorable expressions and funny faces are a glimmer of a real little person, albeit a small, wrinkled one! So, we just laid him down and I simply shot.

And here you have it, the many (and very cute!) faces of baby *G* :

Next, an image of Dad and baby *G* (I have a very similar shot in color of Dad and big brother on the main site):

*K* is such a good Mommy. She’s the type who is always perfectly prepared with snacks, toys, wipes, lots of patience and fun activities. I hope I captured what a warm and loving Mom she truly is:

And of course we photographed the whole family. There were so many relaxed and fun shots, I had a hard time choosing. But something about the happiness in this one tugs at my heart:

And since I had gone outside my box earlier, I stepped right back in to do just a few curled “newborn” shots (totally making fun of myself here). This one was a favorite:

Thanks *G* fam – your gallery is almost ready, I’ll be in touch soon!

Until next time,

Tammy

guess who’s 1 | longview texas baby photographer

I have photographed baby *C* since he was a newborn, and I have loved watching him grow over the last year. It’s always amazing how fast they grow, and how quickly they change. In fact, this time last year, he was a snuggly newborn I rocked to sleep for his newborn session. Fast forward just one year, and I had a hard time getting him to stay still for two seconds! It won’t be long before he’s walking on his own, and then, well, I imagine I’ll be chasing him! Anyway, I just love his Mom too, so I always enjoy our sessions. Here are a few of my favorites:

Letting the world know how old he is:

Rockin’ the shirt:

He looks really demure here, but I bet he was looking down trying to think of a way out, ha!

Mom has been getting a black and white head shot from of all his milestone sessions (newborn, 3 month, 6 month, 9 month, one year). Really, it’s such a good idea and I bet it makes an awesome wall display, seeing his growth documented that way. Next time I’m over that way, I may have to invite myself over to see it Anyway, here’s one of our possible head shot images, I just loved his expression here:

Happy Birthday baby *C* !

Until next time,

Tammy

I know I have mentioned many times how much I love maternity sessions. But what I love even more, is seeing the end result (the new baby of course!) at the newborn/baby session. I absolutely love seeing who the baby looks like, hearing the hospital story, getting the details, and seeing the parents interact with their new little person.

This particular couple was so fun to watch with their sweet baby boy *R*. I can truly say they seem to have blossomed with his arrival. Back at the end of December, when the *E* and *S* came for their maternity session, they were such a sweet couple, though quiet – almost a little shy. Since they had never met me before, this wasn’t a total surprise (especially from the dad-to-be!). But, when they came in for the newborn session, they were both so… well, joyful! There were lots of laughs, they were full of smiles and you could tell how much love they had for baby *R*. The session was a blast, I tried some new things and really like the results… have a peek for yourself!

How cute are they?!?:

Actually getting this shot was a bit funny… let’s just say a couple of people got wet But, I think it was so worth it:

I love this one:

I think they think he’s pretty cute (and he is!):

Since baby *R* is about a month old, I wasn’t sure we’d be able to get this one, but I’m so glad we did:

More blogging to come!

Until next time,

Tammy

More catching up and more cuteness. Meet baby *B* who recently turned one. She came for the session with her Gram, who happens to be my sister-in-law. That would make baby *B* my great niece, I think?

*B* is such a happy baby, very busy (she kept us moving!), and happens to have one of my favorite things: baby chub. And you know I love me a chubby baby! Anyway, Gram has been having fun shopping for a little girl (like me, she is the mom of two boys) so we had no shortage of pink, frills or big bows.

We started out with “baby legs”, which I talked about in my last blog post, and a diaper cover so cute, I almost couldn’t stand it:

Next, a Miss February onesie with tutu – love it!

This next one may be my favorite… beautiful dark brown eyes and I love how you can see her two little bottom teeth:

And one more that I love:

Thanks, “Gram” for bringing Miss *B* over to see me, it was fun!

Until next time,

Tammy
