Dallas Family Photography on a Crisp Fall Day

I grew up in Dallas, and love going back for Thanksgiving...family, football, food....and (f)photography! With people I haven't had a chance to see in a long time!

Mom Holly got in touch with me to photograph her 3 girls...which was crazy when we realized that her oldest daughter is the age Holly and I were when we met. How does that seem like only yesterday??

These sisters were so sweet together...with the Texas manners that always pleasantly surprise me after spending so much time in New York ('Miss Jami' I was...)

And by the end, the littlest one was directing the whole shoot..."move your head, stand here, smile."
No joke.

What a treat. Thanks for inviting me to document your family Holly!

Expecting in Dallas, Showing in New York. A baby girl on the way for Lauren + Wade!

Lauren + Wade spent a celebratory weekend in New York and I was fortunate enough to get a call from them to photograph their blooming family status!

Although we don't know each other from Dallas, I grew up there for almost 18 years and when I meet other people from there, amidst the chaos (that I love) of New York, there is a special little handshake (hug or air kiss rather) that seems to happen... and I feel a little of the southern comfort from home sprinkled in the air.

Congratulations Lauren + Wade.
So excited for 'y'all.'

All the best

Family Photography Dallas Y'all!

The pumpkins were out, and so was the sun! It was a beautiful day in Dallas at the Arboretum.
Mom and Dad (Shannon and Joel) brought the wagon along that Shannon had as a child..that her parents kept in top condition! And though Joel had the job pulling it squeakily through the gardens all day, it was worth it! Vintage makes you work for it!

Garrett is such a thoughtful little guy...looking at his reflection in the water and thinking about life in the haystacks. But he showed us a final dose of strength when he picked up this massive pumpkin and carried it around like he'd spent his life on a pumpkin patch!

Happy Fall to Y'all!
Thanks for spending the morning with me!
