Well, kind of. I have 7 adorable baby planners who are reaching milestones while I am on maternity leave (through 9/1), and well, milestones can’t wait! So last night I headed out to Grapevine to meet Sophia and her family…she’s sitting now and getting so big! Her head of hair is even better than at birth, if that is even possible! Thanks for braving the mosquitoes and humidity!

This session had to be moved from this little one’s first birthday to a couple of weeks after because of the cold, windy weather on her birthday! I was so glad to catch up with her yesterday…I have loved watching her grow up over the year. It is always bittersweet when a baby planner turns one…but that sweet smile means I can’t be sad for long!

Happy birthday sweet E!!

A little introduction of the newest MZP baby planner! Meet Mister D, you’ll recognize his older brother who I’ve photographed for the last two years. He was a great help today, in a record 1 hour newborn session. Mister D was just perfect! You’ll be seeing a lot more of this little one over the next year…

Another sweet baby planner has turned one!! I can’t believe how much he has changed since I saw him for his 6 month session…such a little man, totally on the go, bright blue eyes, and this incredible smile! Love! He and his big sister totally had me running and working today…I love those type of sessions…the ones where mom and dad ask at the end, “I sure hope you got something.” And then I get to write sneak peeks like this…and say, “You better believe it…”

Happy birthday Mister R!!

big sister, Miss M

he fell down while running…it was one of the few seconds he stopped, and I got this…ADORE!

I am so excited to introduce my newest baby planner…he isn’t here quite yet, but we are expecting an early arrival!! I can’t wait to get my hands of this little one – his nusery is perfect, and his parents are super sweet…plus he has two dogs just waiting to protect him (they already guard mom’s belly!). Thank goodness the sun made its return just in time for this session…it was gorgeous!

I had so much fun last night! I finally got the chance to meet Carter’s parents…he is my newest baby planner, so new in fact that he won’t be here for another 3 weeks! I love Sundance Square for maternity sessions, and mom brought some great outfits to show off her belly. Check out those leopard print heels! My hero – 9 months pregnant on 4 inch heels!

I can’t wait to meet Carter soon!

Oh, sweet boy! Gavin is my *very* first baby planner to turn ONE!! He’s a running, totally adorable, 15 month old boy now! Life and such got in the way for a proper one year session, but it was totally worth the wait, we couldn’t keep this little guy from smiling!! It has been an amazing adventure watching Gavi change and grow over the last year…check out these flashbacks…

I can’t believe Rylee is almost one! I have quite a few baby planners reaching their milestone session this spring/summer – and while it has been super fun watching them grow, it makes me sad! We met yesterday for a super quick 15 minute session to get some shots for her birthday invites…we’ll do a full fledged one year session in a couple of weeks, but I couldn’t resist sharing a few of these!

Miss Eve was back for her 8 month session! It was a long time coming, as my schedule and mom’s schedule were a little difficult to coordinate this time! This little beauty has been a part of my baby plan since before she was born, when mom signed on as a gorgeous maternity model! Today was probably the hottest day of the year so far, topping out a 100 degrees, and even though we started the session at 6:30 it was still swealtering…but Eve (and mommy & daddy too) were troopers!

Seriously how cute was she in her little tutus and the matching bows she had for each outfit?!? Don’t you just want to eat her up…cause I seriously think about stealing her and taking her home after every session we have!

I finally got to spend the morning with Vinny! We’ve had his 6 month session on the books since April…but nasty weather (twice) and then a visit by an uncle from Venezuela caused us to reschedule this adorable baby planner three times!! It was totally worth the wait though, he is getting so big and his eyes, well they still melt my heart! His daddy even brought his Harley out to the session…it was so fun seeing you all again!

Sweet little miss A was back yesterday for her 6 month session…and since it is bluebonnet season we thought it would be perfect. Little miss had some other ideas…we got some great shots, it was almost perfect…and well she couldn’t take a bad picture if she tried!

Today was an incredible day – two totally amazing sessions, with two pretty awesome families! I started the morning with three boys under 2…that’s right big brother A is 17 months, and the little ones just arrived last week and are all of 8 days old now! It was the fastest newborn session I’ve ever done…these boys were a dream!

Then I headed to downtown Fort Worth to see sweet Sami! If you follow the blog, you’ve seen this little one grow up over the last 9 months, since mama’s maternity images last summer! This time little miss brought her aunt, uncle, and grandparents for a family session. What a blast we had walking the streets of Sundance Square…this family is hilarious! I had such a great time capturing them together…thanks for braving the alley way and dodging traffic on Main St for these shots!

My baby planners are some of my most favorite clients…there is something so special for me in seeing a family grow and change during their little one’s first year. And I adore their little ones! This family is no exception, and I am certain that GOD put them in my life to serve a purpose – I don’t know what that is yet, but I am patiently waiting its reveal.

Little Miss is 6 months of unending eyelashes, creamy skin, and the sweetest grin! I first met her when she was still in mama’s belly and I bet you can’t forget this adorable grin from her 3 month session…well, look at her now!

I am usually so good about getting a sneak peek up the day of the shoot, but I totally fell behind a day on this one. Sweet Addi is one of my babyplanners, and I think she hung the moon! We met yesterday for a surprise session for her daddy who will be heading to Iraq at the end of next month – we wanted him to get a book ready for him to take with him! I think we got some fun shots!

You all know this gorgeous blue-eyed beauty…she’s a baby-planner who I adore! Today she was baptized, and I got the chance to attend and take pictures to commemorate the day. What fun I had…as Miss A was all smiles for me!

Stay tuned to the blog next weekend for more of this little wonder – we’ll be shooting her six month portraits this coming Saturday!

Meet my newest baby planner, Mister R! He just might be the longest baby I have ever photographed…it is like his legs never stop! Mister R is lucky to be welcomed into a home with an adoring big sister…Miss M is 3 years of pure delight! And she was a fantastic big helper to me during the session…I can’t wait to spend a year photographing this little man, and his gorgeous big sister!
