Emery's Model Session {Custom Children's Photography in Richmond, TX}

We met in downtown Richmond for Emery's model session for The Perfect Stitch.  She got to model the Halloween shirt and treat bag, so I wanted a "house" look to the photos.  Emery is constantly on the move and does best if you sort of just let her do her own thing and follow her lead.  I think we got some great shots.  If you need a Halloween bag that is sure to hold up for that big candy haul this year, look no further.  :)

 See you for your Halloween session!
Love,
Chryshelle

Timeless {Infant Photography in Richmond, TX}

Maxton was the first baby I photographed in 2010 and he has grown by leaps and bounds.  He is still as sweet as can be and a happy little guy.  The session was very timeless using a washtub and an adorable romper. He did so well for his portrait session, that we were also able to use him as a model for the cute line of Fall owl clothing from Knotty Baby Wear at the end.

See you guys soon for your family session! :)
Love,
Chryshelle {Infant Photographer}

A beautiful surprise {Creative Newborn Photography in Katy, TX}

I had the pleasure of meeting the next family at the Mommy Swagger Expo.  Mom was very excited to set up a newborn appointment for mid-September.  I guess the little baby was so excited to have her cameo that she made her appearance early.  Mom went into labor less than 24 hours after our meeting at the Expo!  I love newborns teeny tiny and this little girl is so petite and beautiful just like her mommy.  Meet Anna.  She was so lovely that I used her to model some new headbands from Karley's Kloset. 

I am so glad you made it out to the Mommy Swagger Expo.  Your family is beautiful and I look forward to our session in the Fall.

Love,
Chryshelle {Newborn Photographer}

While You Sleep I Crochet {Giveaway! Commercial Photography}

It is no secret that I LOVE everything over at While You Sleep, I Crochet.  Most of my crocheted newborn items in my studio have come from their shop.  But, there is much more than newborn items in the shop.  I like the fact that you can choose your own color combos or email with a custom order and in no time flat you have exactly what you wanted.  I have enjoyed working with Krys to design some really cool photography props that are (obviously) very popular with all of my clients.  There is seldom a newborn session that goes by that I don't use at least one of the things I got from While You Sleep, I Crochet.  Here are a few of my favorite things...

Hat with detachable flower clip and Cocoon

Twin Pod ( I also have a single baby pod!)

Bear Hat which I use with or without a bow to make it more boyish or girlish.

Stork Pouch (I have a light and a dark one)

 Hooded Cocoon (I have two of these, also)

Whether you are a photographer or a parent/grandparent you want to be sure to get in on this giveaway and be sure to bookmark her page!  You will not be disappointed in the quality or the customer service.   One lucky winner will win a $25 Gift Certificate to While You Sleep, I Crochet!!

Big brother, little brother {Child Model Portraits in Richmond, TX}

Colton and Blake also signed up to be models for The Perfect Stitch.  Mom and Dad decided to add on a full session so after we got pictures in the boy's big and little brother shirts, they got changed for their individual sessions.  It took a little time for Colton to warm up to the camera, but once I figured out how to get him smiling things went off without a hitch.  His little brother Blake is very serious and such a sweetie.

It was so nice to meet you all and I look forward to your holiday portraits in a few months!
Love,
Chryshelle

First up {Child/Commercial Photography in The Woodlands, TX}

First up in our line of models for The Perfect Stitch is Noah. He is a little over a year old and definitely on the go. I had a great time getting to see an old friend at this session and finally getting to meet her family.

 It was great seeing you!  Hopefully, we can meet up again soon on a day when we can just visit and let the kids play.

Love,
Chryshelle {Commercial Photographer}

Orange...my new favorite color {Children's Photography in Richmond, TX}

I got together with Wyatt and Ashlyn for a model session this weekend and mom decided to tack on a full session so after we got done product modeling they changed into their "normal" clothes and we had some fun.  I have absolutely fallen in love with this orange wall!  Isn't it gorgeous with the blues in their outfits?

See you all again soon!
Love,
Chryshelle {Child Photographer}

Need a realtor? {Custom Headshot Photography in San Antonio, TX}

While in San Antonio, I met up with Donnie Hathorne of Premier Properties and Real Estate Ranch for a session. He was looking for some updated headshots for his business cards and website.  It had been years since I had seen him and he drove in all the way from Midland, Texas to work with me. Okay, maybe he had planned to be in town for Father's Day, too.  We are both originally from San Antonio.  :) If you are looking for a Ranch, Residential, or Commercial property in West Texas, Central Texas, or South Texas, Donnie can help you out.

It was great to see you again after all these years.

Love,
Chryshelle {Custom Headshot Photographer}

Knotty Baby Wear {Giveaway! Commercial Photography}

I had a great time recently doing some commercial shots for Knotty Baby Wear. Their creations are awesome! You can get handmade onesies or t-shirts that are super cute and one of a kind. The best part is they also offer matching leg warmers (they also double as arm warmers!) that make the outfit complete and so unique.

I LOVE the leg/arm warmers for all of my children!! They were perfect for my little one to protect her knees when she was learning to crawl.

 And they are so wonderful for diaper changes and potty training. My older daughter loves to accessorize all of her dresses with leg warmers.

 The arm warmers are great for the cooler mornings. Once it warms up, they are so easy to slip off.

You can't go wrong with Knotty Baby Wear. They have over 6,400 sales with 100% positive customer feedback!!
