    I am your photographer – your freezer of time and eyes for what you don’t see…I capture your daughter’s amazing smile and soft steps, your son’s deep blue eyes and unstoppable curiosity, the face of your husband as he watches his newborn baby sleep

{they are back} – fort worth baby & child photographer – melissa zihlman

She has just turned two, and he four months.

She was one of my first baby planners, and he’s one of my newest.

There was pretty morning light, and amazingly decorated bedrooms.

It was the perfect welcome back from maternity leave.

(super size sneak peek ahead…)

{sunlight, sunflowers, and scaring the baby} – fort worth baby photographer – melissa zihlman

I was supposed to see my sweet babyplanner, Jase, and his family on Wednesday when the cool front came through, but gloomy skies weren’t really inviting.  I am so glad we waited until last night, because the sun was awesome, and  a random patch of sunflowers totally made my night!

Jase had mommy and daddy pulling out all the stops…dancing, singing, the hokey pokey, you name it.  Dad even went outside to play peek-a-boo and do jumping jacks through the window while I got images of Jase on the bed.  Um, Jase may have been a little scared at first when Daddy poked his head around one of the window panes…

All that hard work on mom and dad’s part paid off though…there is a gorgeous gallery coming their way soon!

Marla Westbrook - Hi there, I’m new to your blog but am loving your work. This session is just gorgeous! What a cute little guy!

{can I slow time down?} – keller baby photographer – melissa zihlman

You remember Gray.  One of my sweet babyplanners, who is now 9 months old!

It just is not possible.

Mom and dad seriously rock.

Last week I needed to reschedule when the stomach bug attacked my house.  They didn’t mind a bit.

Tonight I made them (highly suggested, lol) that they drive 45 minutes so we could  use this amazing location.

It’s about 20 feet from a sandwich shop’s dumpster…you know if case you are looking for it.;)

Gray worked every bit of the amazing light…I love this kid, and I seriously love him outdoors.
