If your are friends with me on Facebook, then you are familiar with my newborn and family sessions and actually know that I do them! If you are only familiar with me through my blog... well... my apologizes for never updating the blog like I should:( Although if it makes you feel any better I am really bad about posting full sessions on Facebook (it's so much quicker to just do sneak peeks)... so this is the first time I have even posted a full session :)
Well had a baby... we shot these last November. I have since photographed their newborn session :) I'm trying guys, I'm trying to catch up in the wonderful world of blogging, so just hang in there with me.
As for Candice and Wyatt, I shot their wedding back in September of '09 (view it HERE) and it has truly been a pleasure having them as clients and as friends. To see their family come together and grow and to be able to capture those moments for them is what makes me love what I do that much more!
Thank you Candice and Wyatt for being such amazing people!
I can only work on a first-come, first-served basis, so with only 7 spots, if you would like to reserve your date, please let me know as soon as you can! I wish I could photograph every family, but I want to make sure that each family gets my full attention.
You can email me at info@mmperspectives.com or monique@mmperspectives.com
This couple is awesome! I love that they choose something different for the maternity session, because there is no better place to shoot than Downtown Houston! Ok, I am not being completely truthful, because open fields at sunset are amazing too, but I just love the color you can find in Downtown.
Amie and Brian congratulations on your little bundle of joy! It was great working with you both and I can't wait to see pictures of your little one!
Yup, you read that right! Wait?! You didn't know I did family photography? Well, I do! I usually get request from the families of my brides, so it something that I have been doing, but just haven't been posting :( UNTIL NOW!
So meet the Traugott family from Katy, Tx! Aren't they just a beautiful group! They were so easy to photograph and so much fun. The twins are too cute for words! Here are a few of my favorites!
I'm working on a Christmas family special! Hopefully I will be able to announce it by the end of the month, so stay tuned!
Honestly, I swore off maternity sessions and anything that had to deal with babies. For years I have just wanted to be a wedding and high school senior photographer. Don't get me wrong, babies are adorable, but every time I just pictured myself doing a session of a baby I just saw dirty dippers, high pitched screams, and baby throwup. And children can go either way... but all the ones I run into (mainly at the grocery store) are screaming, yelling and driving their parents crazy! Or... it could be that my mom already has an attic full of toys and clothes for her first grandchild and since I am the oldest and I have been with Terry for over 7 years all eyes are on me... I don't think a day goes by that she doesn't mention children to me. Yeah... no pressure or anything...
However, I think that a dog and a cat are good enough for now. Why? Well first off, they sleep in with me and sleep is VERY important. And if they decide to wake up early I just throw them outside. Second, if they start annoying me, I can just throw them outside. Third, if Terry and I want to go out for the night or I have places I need to be, all I have to do is just throw them outside. Get what I am saying? Please don't take that the wrong way, Coco and The Cat are very well loved, adored, and taken care of. Well... Coco is... The Cat is the devil reincarnated (she is crazy and I think is plotting to get me out of the picture so she can have Terry all to her self).
Also, don't think that I don't like babies or children, because I can't just throw them outside. Its just that... well... I don't know what it is. I know I like the little people and they like me since at family functions I always end up at the children's table and they always end up playing with me the entire time. Again... I just don't know why I cringe at the the thought of having some of my own.
Anyway, I was asked by a friend's sister to do her maternity session. And after really thinking about it, I thought that I can't just shoved something out the door if I haven't even let it in. Soo... I went for it...
and all I can say is that I can't wait for my next maternity session! It was just so much fun and inspiring (photography wise). And once I really thought about it, it was actually really cool to look at Flor's tummy and realize that she has another human being growing inside of her. A real human being! How cool is that? I use to say that the only reason I would ever want a baby was because it gave me an excuse to eat what I wanted and to send Terry to the store at midnight for fudge bombs. However, I now see that pregnancy is more than just three trips to the all you can eat buffet line, weight gain, stretch marks, body aches, and having to carry around a 8lb basketball.
Flor and Paul, thank you soo much for asking me to record such a special moment for you two! Congratulations on your soon to be new baby boy!
I had the pleasure of photographing Isabella the other day and I will be honest, I felt completely out of my element. I think the last time I did a baby session was a year and a half ago or maybe longer since I know I was using my film camera at the time.
However, at the end of it all, I think she was one of my most enjoyable sessions. I love all my sessions, but how could you not love spending time with something so small and beautiful?
