Me and my Ezra James

The last time you saw me and my cutie pie on this blog he was only eight weeks old. He's just about six months old now so we definitely needed some new pictures. We had our own little Mommy & Me session this past weekend and here are some of my favorites. It's kind of fun being on the other side of the lens every once in a while!

I'm posting more shots than should ever be put on a blog but I can't help myself on this one. I'm so completely in love with this family! How sweet is this couple and their perfect little girl?!?! One month old at this photo shoot.

I am head over heels for this guy. Happy Valentine's Day!

Isn't it wonderful to have good friends! I had so much fun taking these shots. They make my heart smile. :0)

I love this shot for so many reasons. One, how many times do we as mothers have our babies just hanging out on our hips? These days my son is there all the time. Two, this cutie pie has super chubby rolls that are adorable. Three, a gorgeous wedding ring. And four, a naked baby. So very simple and so very sweet. Thank you Lindsey for letting me experiment with your sweet pea! :0)

This little cowboy makes me smile.

Greetings from the Zeller Zoo!

Check out this fun card! Their hip Mommy wanted an Andy Warhol-esque card to announce the newest addition to their family. Another fun group project for me and MediaDia!

Seven months

Last time Miss Alice was on my blog she was only two weeks old. She's even more of a charmer now at 7 months old! Sitting up so nicely, reaching for fun things like her teddy bear, and giving me the best expressions for the camera! My favorite of Miss Alice....

Free Baby Photo Session!!!

I’ve always wanted to do a session with several babies at once. Can you imagine how much fun that would be! Big group shots of all those tiny feet, loveable giggles, and of course those adorable rolls that make babies so darn cute!

I’m looking for four or five babies all close in age and all under one year old. Also, I’m looking for Mommies of these babies who aren’t afraid to ham it up to help me get their babies laughing for the camera.

Interested? If you can find a few of your friends who have had babies this past year and want to do a photo shoot then please let me know. My session fee these days is $100 per session so for 4-5 babies this would be a $400-$500 package free to you and your friends! No obligation to buy prints and no minimum order. Interested? Shoot me an email and I’ll give you more details. nell@cowtowncameragirl.com

New Package: Maternity + Newborn

Got another fun package that I'm offering this year: Maternity + Newborn. I'm still amazed every time I see a pregnant belly. The excitement and anticipation of what's to come. Such a special and unique moment in a woman's life. So why not document it with beautiful photographs. And then of course when your precious angel is born you will want to capture some of those moments in the first few weeks when they are oh so tiny and brand new. This package also includes 25 Birth Announcements with custom design.

Price: $175

Here are a few shots of my first client to purchase this package. Isn't she stunning! We've already got her birth announcements in the works so once her baby girl arrives we'll schedule her newborn session and then select the photos for her announcements.

Sweet Baby James

Okay, so I had to say it. You know I love the name James! And I think every parent of a child named James probably sings that James Taylor song. I know we do to ours. :0) This sweet Baby James just melted my heart! What is it about newborns! The sounds, the smiles, the little ways they move. This little guy was only two weeks old when I met him last weekend. I'm sure he's already bigger by now so I'm so happy that I was able to capture this amazing moment in this family's life.

Same shot with a different perspective. I love how James is looking up at his Daddy in this one!

So peaceful....

Such beautiful weather here today in Fort Worth! Hope you got to spend time outside today with someone you love. :0)

I've been spending quite a bit of time these days with babies. They are of course my favorite out of anyone to photograph. And this sweet angel has got to be the sweetest, most calm baby I have photographed yet. She was ever so patient, just watching me as I snapped away. P.S.- Don't you just love the mural! So neat and unique!

One more...I couldn't resist. This one might be my favorite from the entire session. A shot of this sweet pea enjoying her treat for being so good during the photo shoot.

What a great photo shoot... a photographer's dream! This wonderful family was everything I could have asked for; beautiful children, loving parents, charming home. I was so fortunate to be able to spend time with them together and separately, following them throughout their house and snapping pics of them in their happy, natural environment.
