Ryan’s 1! :: Dallas Baby Photographer

Another week, another cute little boy finishes his Baby’s First Year plan! I can’t believe it! Once again, we need to go in the DRP Way, Way Back Machine… here’s Mr. Ryan when we first met him:

Here he is today (hello, Blue Eyes!):

I’m so lovin’ the 1 year olds with the drool-y chins. Please tell me I’m not the only one!

We also did a little cake smashing while we were together:

mmm… Frosting is tasty!

One last one… just love it!

B Family – it’s been delightful working with you this year – I can’t wait to watch your boys grow year after year. I don’t think it’s possible, but they seem to get more adorable every time I see them!

BTW – Mr. Ryan’s session marks the end of my client sessions before Miss A arrives… which could be any day now! Eeek! The next baby you’ll see on this blog is mine!

Nayan’s 1! :: Dallas Baby Photographer

Baby's 1st Year, Children, Families, babies

Oh. My. Goodness. I love this post and I hate this post all at once. I love it because, frankly, this family is adorable! I hate it because not only does it mark the end of Nayan’s Baby’s 1st Year Plan, it also comes with the news that this awesome family is moving. I know Sumeet is going to rock his new job in Colorado, but I hate to see them go! Now, to start off with a little “whoa!” from the DRP way, way back machine… here’s what Nayan looked like when I first met him:

This is Nayan now:

The little dude wanted a closer look at my camera:

This may be my favorite crawling photo. EVER. I LOVE everything about it – especially the drool!

I couldn’t decide which family shot I liked better, so you get to see both:

Some Mommy-Love:

And some Daddy-Love:

Watch out, Colorado – you’re getting some awesome new neighbors! Best wishes, Sumeet, with your new job! I know you’re going to be amazing. And Ms. Molly – I know you’re going to rock the photography world up there (that’s right, Colorado, you’re getting a fab new photographer out of the deal!). Give Nayan lots and lots of hugs for me!

Isabella + Family :: Dallas Baby Photographer

Baby's 1st Year, Families, babies

Miss Isabella’s 6 month session was such fun! Her Mama’s family from Brazil was in town and we got lots of fun pictures with the group. I’m sad to say, however, that one of the services that DRP offers is *not* Portuguese translation… I was very dependent on Isabella’s Mama, Leila, to handle getting everyone where they needed to be!

We’ll start off with one of Miss Isabella and her grandmother…

I love images like this – 4 generations of women!

One with Mama & Daddy:

The Whole Group!

We’ll finish up with some of her 6 month images. We’ll start off with the little lady and her piggies… when do piggies stop being cute? I swear… they’re going to be the end of me!

Look how big!

One last one of her super model pout:

Leila + Matt – it was great to see y’all again and meet all of Leila’s family! Your full gallery will be ready soon!

The B Family :: Dallas Family Photographer

Baby's 1st Year, Children, Families

Oh, how I love to see this family! Jake & Ryan are two of the sweetest little boys who are such a joy to capture. The original intent of this shoot was to document Jake around his 3rd birthday, but weather and runny noses made us about a month late. Nevertheless, we had tons of fun tromping around the Arboretum!

Mr. Jake:

Mr. Ryan (can you believe how big he’s gotten since the first time I met him?!):

I love this family shot!

Peek-a-Boo!

And to end… one with Mama and her boys!

B Family – it’s always such fun to see you! I can’t believe that next time we’ll be cake smashing with Ryan!!!

The 15 faces of Nayan :: Dallas Baby Photographer

Baby's 1st Year, Children

Oh, how I love seeing Nayan (Molly & Sumeet, too!). He’s one of my baby’s first tykes and he only gets more adorable each time I see him. This time, he was 8 months old, sitting up all on his own (but not crawling… so he was still!), and SO incredibly expressive. I couldn’t begin to narrow down the images for a preview, so I created a collage of some of my favorite Nayan faces!
