A name twin {San Antonio, Texas Custom Child Photography}

Meet Susan's daughter, Ember. She shares a name with my daughter and they are only two months apart in age. Funny thing is, both girl's dads (who have never met) got to do the naming this time.  Well, she recently turned one, learned how to walk, and no longer likes to sit still.  So, I set my camera speed really fast and danced like a monkey to keep her attention long enough to get some absolutely adorable shots.  

See you again in the summer! I am sure you will have grown tons.

Love,

As stunning as ever {San Antonio, Texas Custom Portraiture}

While in San Antonio, I met up with an old friend of mine for a session downtown. I have known Susan for about 14 years and she has always been beautiful. She is doing a bit of modeling now so we did some fun shots to add to her modeling portfolio. Who would ever guess she had a baby a year ago. She looks amazing!

Thanks girl for such a fantastic session! You are great in front of the camera. I can't wait for your family session this summer!

Love,

And one more makes four {Richmond, Texas Custom Maternity Photography}

It has been a while since I last photographed a maternity session.  Today's session made me realize how much I have missed it.  There is something so beautiful about a woman who is expecting.  I know everyone says there is "a glow", but I really do feel like pregnant women do have a glow about them.  And there is such a mood of excitement and anticipation in the air. I just love it!

Meet the "F" family!  They are expecting their second baby in a few months.  This time a little girl.

Congratulations "F" family!  I hope you enjoyed your preview.  I can't wait to meet your little girl very soon.

Love,

There's no place like home, except Nana's {San Antonio, Texas Custom Children's Photography}

Every once in a while I get a session booked by a grandparent.  This one happened to be particularly close to my  heart.  This session was for my mom... our Nana.  Between me and my sister we have five children and we have very few photos of all the kids together especially one that would be "wall worthy".  So, my mom scheduled a session with me to do a group session with the children to update her frame above the TV.  It was chaotic, to say the least.  Ha ha. 

I hope you enjoy your sneak peek Nana!  I promise to have the whole session gallery up ASAP.  :)

 Thank you Mom for still paying me because you know it is my livelihood even though I am your daughter.  :)

Love,
Chryshelle {Custom Children Photographer}

A mother's treasure {San Antonio, Texas Custom Family Photography}

My first session in San Antonio was a super fun mother-daughter pair. Lindsay and Chloe were such a blast to photograph! When I asked Lindsay her portrait style, she said "anything FUN". Chloe was such a little model and not at all shy in front of the camera.

Thank you Lindsay for choosing me to photograph the special bond between you and Chloe! It was such a joy capturing the two of you interacting. I hope to see you again on the next visit to San Antonio.

Love,
