This was one of my first sessions I captured once returning to Florida from Texas. So excited to finally share this smash from last year. Sweet Ameena is one! I've known her family for quite some time as I took pictures for her big brother, Amir (blue shirt), first birthday almost a decade ago, and now here she is in my studio celebrating her own first birthday. Dilanie requested a Aladdin theme and immediately all the gold, jewels and detailed fabric patterns bounced around

I never quite expect a "flawless" newborn photo session, because well, babies do what they want 100% of the time. Beau truly may have been my closest to flawless I've gotten yet with a minor fuss in the final two poses, but hey, I was a bit exhausted after 2.5 hours as well. His parents pretty much gave me free range for his session in terms of color scheme. They brought a few sentimental items but I had set ups waiting and ready to go when they arrived. I have been DYING to

Oh, how I love this family so. A family that started as maternity clients, turned birth, then newborn, cake smash, theeeeeeen baby number two was made. With every milestone we grew closer and closer and I couldn't be more thankful for the relationship we've built over the last 3 years. Our last session together was when Erin was pregnant with baby Oakleigh right before they moved, too long ago. When she gave birth in October 2019, I made plans with her amazing partner, Alex,

Though I didn't get the opportunity to photograph Joys maternity (As explained in Lincs Newborn Blog ) I still NEEDED to get Joy in the gown I ordered for her session. With hesitation, I asked if sunrise at the beach was possible. I mean, exclusively breastfeeding a newborn, a toddler in tow, getting the family up and ready to be at the beach by 6:30am is no easy task. Nonetheless, 6:30am on the beach we were! I started with Lincoln solo. I have had this boat prop for just ab

I was so excited in December to see Joy and Eric announce that Jax was gonna be a big brother, because Baby Boy #2 was on the way! Lincoln was due July 4th and the wait was on. We originally planned for me to capture Joys VBAC (which she ROCKED by the way), but COVID had other plans. Not to worry! We would do maternity pictures instead, right? Wrong 😂 Baby Lincoln the over-achiever here could not wait to meet his beautiful mama, and she wound up giving birth before I even

Early March of this year I took a bit of a Me-Cation/Work-Cation that consisted of a central Texas week. I was able to my friend Alex and her baby boy Tristan ( blog to come ) in Killeen for a bit and then I shot down to San Antonio to spend a couple days with the Baca's! I am so fortunate to have so many clients that have turned into lifelong friends. My relationship with the Baca's started with Mama Goddess Minis out in the El Paso desert. Audrey wasn't even a year old yet.

Vache and Jordan { team girl } are making Langston a big brother in welcoming baby no. 2! With Close family and friends ( Vaches mom, in white, traveling from Killeen! ) they held a small gender reveal at the park. I was impartial, but mostly wanted it to be a girl because that's what Vache and Jordan wanted 😂 low and behold; Baby Sadler is a.... Thank you to Vache and Jordans amazing family an friends for helping me pick up every last piece of confetti! It is biodegradable,

How I have loved watching this family grow! It started with a maternity session in the mountains when Bernice was about 8 months pregnant with Blair and here we are, almost 2 years later. I see Bernice multiple times a year, she booked this session all the way back on Black Friday for White Sands in early March, but high wind had other plans, so we rescheduled and before our session date, White Sands National Monument closed until further notice due to the virus, we changed l

Bailey booked a session for her son, Benjamin, who is turning 3!! The vision was him dressed as Spiderman, doing his Spiderman things, in the PERFECT location, with a few photos that included her and her husband ( Who, by the way, haven't had photo taken SINCE THEIR WEDDING!). Or so we thought. She let me know earlier in the the day before her session that Ben was in rare form, and " if we show up not in costume, you know why 😂". Sure enough, though as handsome as could be,

Though I'd had this Fabens location on my list for sometime I had never shot there until Meghan requested it. How have I lived in El Paso 3 whole years and never knew about this gem!? I scouted it the day before to get a feel of what I was working with but nothing compares to having it paired with these two in front of my camera. Both Meghan and Michael serve in the US Army, stationed separately and I was lucky to be available when Presidents Day weekend rolled around and the

This nursery here is GOALS. Julians parents wanted a travel theme for his newborn portraits and mentioned that his nursery was decorated as such, maybe we could do an in home session there. She sent me photos and I was SOLD. How perfect!? Might I add, this couple baby-mooned in Paris, France. FREAKING PARIS. They had their maternity photos taken there and lord the canvases on the walls of their home from that session were a marvel to look at. #graceashleyimages #Southfloridap

I like to say this session started quite some time ago. Alysse found me on facebook while still stationed in Georgia and had kept in contact with me until they made the move out west. Little by little piecing together their dream family session, she knew she was dead set on Red Sands. During our session, she mentioned "I saw photos you posted here and all I knew was I wanted THIS location.". While I was running a few minutes late 🤦‍♀️ we got there as the sun was perfectly po
