A New Brother for Coco

I first met Coco in January of this year to capture her 1 year pictures.  Mommy was also pregnant at the time.  Coco’s baby brother arrived a few months ago and this past week I was invited to go and meet him for the first time.  Meet Winston – I usually do not like to shoot at three month, because the baby can still be cross eyed and often has trouble holding their head up.  Well, Winston must have missed that memo – because, if all 3 month olds were as awesome as he was, I would totally want to shoot all babies at this age!

Sisters – dallas, tx children’s photographer

I have a dear friend who called several months ago to arrange a session for her sister’s kids, who live in Houston.  She and her sister have a very special relationship – they even have the same purse.  We got rained out on our scheduled session, so my friend Amber, kept her sister’s kids and their dog so that we could take pictures on the next available sunny day.  Then she drove all 4 kids and the dog back to Houston for her sister – can you say dedication.  I love this family.  They are each others priority and it shows!  Not to mention, they are super fun, cool, beautiful people as well!  Here are a few of my favorites from their session.  Meet Riley, Will, Sydney, and Nick.

Auction Winners

Every year, I donate sessions to several auctions.  This year, one of those auctions was one of my children’s schools.  This family does not even attend the school, but this year our school did an online auction, similar to Ebay and I guess the word got out.  I am so glad it did – because, it was a pleasure meeting this awesome family! We had such a great time and this Mommy did a fabulous job styling these kids – the whole family for that matter. Meet Kate and AJ – they are twins.  One of my favorite images is with Dad doing what they call the “twin swing.”    Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend.

We just relaxed and spent time with friends – aka – my favorite type of weekend!

Daddy of the Year!

There is a Daddy that deserves a major award in my book!  A little over two years ago, he had his first child and his wife signed up for my baby plan.  He then had another child one year ago, so of course, they signed up for another year with me.  Basically, in the past two and a half years, he has had to see me 9 times.  As all Dad’s know, having to take family pictures is usually not a day most dad’s look forward to.  Thank you Kent for being kind and jolly at every session.  Happy Birthday Benton!  During this last session we also welcomed Benton’s cousin to the world of Catherine Clay Photography.  He flew all the way in from New York to meet with me.  Thanks you guys for an awesome day with an awesome family!

More Beautiful Sisters – ft worth children’s photographer

I showed up at these sisters’ home and their mom said – just go up to their closet and pick out what you want each girl to wear.  Normally, I would not have picked white – but their house had the best color on the walls; and I wanted to take advantage of that and the simplicity of each child in their home.  We had such a great time together and even the youngest warmed up to me.  Meet Emma, Annabelle, and Mamie.

Every now and then I get the opportunity to shoot children who take my breath away.  These little girls did this for me.  Oh my goodness!  They were amazing – but also so kind hearted with the sweetest spirits!  This was a photographer’s dream.  If you want to know what to put your kids in for a session – this is the perfect example!  These clothes were from Peek, aren’t you curious, crewcuts, and Target.  I can’t get my links to work – sorry – but I am sure you can figure out where to find these items.  Peek, is one of my favorite children’s clothing stores and we have one in Dallas at NorthPark Mall.  I think everything about their branding is genius – they also have some pretty fantastic clothes.

Meet Layla and Kimme.

the girls – dallas, tx children’s photographer

So Daddy had to be gone yesterday for Caroline’s 8 month session.   Mommy, Katie, and Caroline did an awesome job in the wildflowers and we got some fantastic images of these beautiful girls.  I think Daddy might have to get a few of these for his office.  This Mommy is so beautiful and she always shows up so put together with the perfect outfit on!  You can totally see where these little girls get their beauty.  As always – it was my pleasure to photograph your precious family.

Happy Wednesday everyone!

wildflowers – dallas, tx family photographer

I am shooting wildflower sessions over and over!  I am giddy with this beauty in my world right now.  This is the one time of year North Texas gets color.  Spring is a perfect time for a family photography session with Catherine Clay Photography.  In fact, we are already starting to design and print Christmas cards – yes – you read that right!  We are already doing sessions that would be perfect for your Christmas sessions.  We begin to officially book the “busy” season (August – November) on June 2nd.  Last year we were completely booked in two days.

I am also almost booked for Florida sessions in the month of July.  If you want one call asap!

Check out this fabulous repeat family – they got out of the car and my jaw dropped!  Not only are they stunning, but Mom did a fantastic job with wardrobe.  I am so excited about their session. Meet precious Noah and Olivia and their beautiful parents!
