Matthew and Jocelyne are great friends of ours from our church. I was so thrilled when they asked me to take lifestyle newborn pictures of their sweet baby boy, Ryder! We’ve all been waiting (im)patiently for Matt and Jocelyne to add a little baby to the mix of crazy kids in our group of friends. Ryder is the perfect addition. We’re looking forward to helping Matt and Jocelyne enjoy this new life stage of parenting a newborn.
Introducing Ryder Leo
Caitlyn and I went to college together at Houston Baptist University. We only had one class together: a speech minimester. and it was the greatest class ever. 2 weeks, all day, lots of public speaking. Everyone in that class became friends, even though we were all over the spectrum as far as class, major, friend groups. 🙂 I was so glad when she called me about engagement photos! After also meeting at HBU and dating a few years, he proposed on Christmas. They were eager to get one step in the wedding planning process complete.
She initially told me they weren’t super lovey-dovey, but I beg to differ. 🙂
Congrats Caitlyn and Preston! Enjoy this season, it’s extra special. 🙂
The Chavez family are my most loyal client! I’ve been capturing them since their little one’s first Christmas. When they showed up with a sign announcing their second I was ecstatic!!
I can’t wait to start photographing their family of four!
When I imagine a perfect newborn session: I picture this one. Baby was so calm and happy the entire time and mama did an amazing job decorating the nursery! I love the bright walls and pops of color. It was a classic setting for newborn photos

Extended family photo shoots are the best Mothers Day or Christmas gifts. It’s hits all the top points of a good gift: sentimental, long lasting, thoughtful, AND you can rope your siblings into splitting the cost 😉

I absolutely love this family. She’s been letting me take their family and milestone pictures for a few years now. It’s so fun to watch the change in family dynamics as the kids have grown. 🙂 Not only are they stellar clients, but they’re also great friends. I’m so thankful to have them be part of mine and my kid’s lives.
Last year we took some great images in a beautiful sunlit park full of trees, so this year we wanted to change things up a bit. Downtown Richmond is hopping with photographers, especially this time of year, but I’ve only shot there a handful of times. I love the neutral colors of the brick walls and concrete contrasting with the sun flowing in through the big, mature trees. Plus, these kids are so photogenic, even when they’re not having this “photoshoot thing”.
I just love Jace! He’s the sweetest, calmest little guy. He was super cooperative for our session. He loved the balloons, catching the ball, chasing some dogs we saw, and most importantly: he loved his cake. It took some coaxing at first but once he got a good taste, he was sold. 🙂
Happy Birthday Jace!
A year ago I met sweet little baby Judah for his newborn session. And now, here we are again, for his little brother Jedediah! I’m so happy that the Carlsens welcomed me back into their home again to capture these same, yet different, moments with Jedediah. He was the calmest little thing, which is good because that balances out his ball-of-energy big bother!
Introducing, Jedediah:
I recently started a personal project while we were in the midst of selling our first home and purchasing a new one. I was feeling quite nostalgic about our first family home : where we brought home our first two babies, where I started both my businesses…where we called “home” for five years. So I tried to capture some everyday moments of our kids in the house. I had hoped to get more, but the time got away from me quickly during the chaos of showing, packing, and moving the house. But I’ll still cherish these sweet moments as I start to capture the new memories at our wonderful new {to us} house.
