2022 Fall Family Photos | It's time to think about them already!

I know what you might be thinking. ‘Rachel. How in the world are you posting about 2022 Fall family photos already?’

As a mom of three kiddos in fall sports, my availability is limited, so if you are thinking of scheduling a photo session, now is the time! As much as I hate to turn families away during the Fall for those coveted fall family photos, once my calendar is full, that’s all I can do.

Below is a sweet example of a fall family session this past autumn.

If you are a long time client, or maybe just finding me for the first time and are a planner like me, let’s get that session booked now.

When is the best time to book newborn photos

As a family photographer focusing on young and growing families, I’m often asked “when is the best time to book newborn photos?”

The short answer is at the start of your second trimester.

The long answer is this: When you have found a photographer that you trust and want to work with and when you are ready.

There’s many questions to consider when you’re looking for your newborn photographer like…

Do I want my photos in a studio or in my home? Or… do I want to be in charge of all of the details of the session or do I want a photographer who will take care of all of them for me?

As a seasoned newborn photographer who has worked with many exhausted mamas, I can assure you that you want a photographer who has all of the details, big and small, taken care of. Including the option of a wardrobe, even if you want a more casual aesthetic and choose to wear your own clothes.

We moms have so much on our plate already. Don’t let newborn photos be one of those things, adding unnecessary stress! By booking earlier in the second trimester, that gives both you and I plenty of time to prepare for the newborn photos of your dreams. Click here for more information.

Dallas Triplets Cake Smash

It’s incredible how fast the first year flies by. One day, you’re looking at your teeny tiny baby, and the next you’re looking at a walking, babbling, soon-to-be toddler. Or in this place, toddlers! It’s especially hard to believe how fast the triplets have grown up and now turned one!

I was so excited to have them back to the studio to celebrate their first birthday in a big way!

The balloon arch, the hats, the color scheme.. all of it is just perfection.

If you are expecting multiples in the Dallas area and in search of a newborn photographer with experience photographing newborn twins or triplets, I would love to talk with you. Click the button below for details.

The Littlest Details | Plano Photographer

If only we could freeze time.. The littlest of details at any age are the details we as moms want to remember. The dimples in the knuckles. The way those tiny toes curl. The chunky toddler feet & fingers. The wispy curls.

All of those tiny details that change all too quickly. One moment you’re looking down at your brand new, precious baby, the next you’re watching as they toddle off into toddlerhood, full of personality and big emotions.

Baby and milestone portraits give you a chance to push pause. To document all of those details that make up the tiny human you love so much. The littlest details are just as important to me as the eye contact, traditional portraits to capture ALL of your child(ren).

As a mom out of the ‘little kid’ phase of life now, I would do anything to be able to smell my babies freshly bathed head and hear them giggle from razzberries on their bellies. I’m so incredibly grateful for photos to bridge the gap in memory.

3 Posing Ideas for Outdoor Maternity Sessions

I understand being in front of a camera does not come naturally to everyone. And I promise you, as your maternity photographer, I am there to guide you every step of the way. Here are 3 posing ideas for outdoor maternity sessions I regularly use for variety in galleries!


Take a walk

Walk hand in hand with your partner and see just how adoring you look at one another once you see your images.

Close up belly shot

The bump is the highlight of the show, so I’m always sure to grab some solo close up belly shots, along with ones of both parents, holding the bump.

Hand on the hip & embody your inner goddess

I want every woman to see how absolutely beautiful they are during this season of life when our bodies can feel like it’s not our own. Posing with one hand on a hip, the other on the belly, while looking up or off to the side showcases the belly and your radiance.

Professional Newborn Photos At Home

If you are searching for professional newborn photos at home in the second half of 2022, this post may be perfect for you.

I’m Rachel, a Plano based photographer specializing in maternity, newborn, and family portraits for families in and around the Dallas and Fort Worth metroplex. I have a photography studio and field location, provide wardrobe, and aim to make your portraits a special occasion. If coming to the studio isn’t ideal for you, I will come to your home for newborn photos! And wardrobe is still an option, if you want ;)

We can allow older children to be in the comfort of their own space and go back to playing when not needed. We can take our time if baby needs to be changed or eat. I’ll have everyone snuggle up close for family portraits and then photos with combinations of family members.

At the end of our time together, you’ll have a beautiful gallery of your most favorite people, in the home you have created. If that sounds like exactly what you need, lets talk.

Turning ONE is cause for celebration! A first birthday photo shoot for your family will help you memorialize this time of your lives. Before you know it, he’ll be turning 10 and running off to play with his friends.

My Own Family Photos by Kate Marie Portraiture

I’m a firm believer in community over competition and love cultivating relationships, and ultimately friendships, with fellow photographers in the area. Entrepreneurship can be a lonely road and having others in similar positions gives both parties a place to expand ideas, provide feedback, and know that they truly aren’t alone.

Kate has become more than just a colleague, but a wonderful friend and business partner for our workshop.

Kate Marie Portraiture is a Flower Mound family photographer. If you want family photos by the lake, she is your go-to girl. She’s an amazing artist and human being.

Newborn Photography Studio | Frisco Tx

There’s nothing like the newborn stage. As a mom of three littles myself, I know all too well how those first weeks fly by in a true blur. Taking the time to document your brand new baby while they’re still tiny is crucial!

Whether you pick to have newborn photos at my photography studio, in the field, or in the comfort of your own home, I encourage moms book newborn photos in the second trimester to ensure availability.

newborn sessions include…

  • A detailed pre-session consult to go over everything you want to capture and how you envision displaying your portraits.

  • Up to 2.5 hours of time together photographing your new baby, either in my Plano studio for posed sessions or in the comfort of your home for lifestyle sessions.

  • Expertise of a photographer with 5+ years of experience who will prioritize your baby’s and your family’s health and safety.

  • Use of the studio collection of freshly cleaned blankets, wraps and headbands for baby, and use of the studio wardrobe for postpartum-friendly dresses for mom.

  • A viewing gallery of 35+ hand-edited images that we’ll review together in-person or via zoom at your design and ordering appointment 2-3 weeks after your session.

After the session, you’ll determine exactly how you want to display and preserve your portraits; whether it's in an heirloom album, as framed fine art prints, or tucked away as digital files. For details on session investment, please visit this page or contact me directly.

3 Reasons Why You Need a Motherhood Session

Some of my most favorite moments are between moms and their little ones. Motherhood is gentle but tough, and there’s something incredibly special about photographing it. Here are 3 reasons why I believe you need a motherhood session at least once with your babies.

  1. Look through your phone and tell me how many photos you’re in with your kids within the first few scrolls. I’d be willing to bet there’ probably aren’t many, if any. Selfies only half count here! Moms are often the ones taking the photos, behind the camera. That means you’re documenting your family’s beautiful day-to-day moments but you’re hardly ever represented in them, too. Your kids deserve to have photos with their mom throughout their childhood to have.

  2. Let’s face it, we all know that dad’s typically can’t the biggest fan of picture day. Motherhood session = no dad, so you don’t have to drag him to the studio! Just bring the kids and we will play dress up, have a dance party, and some great tickle fights. This session is to document the special moments you share with your babies. Dad’s can always join us for family portraits another time!

  3. We all know that babies don’t keep, but neither do toddlers. Or kids. Or even teens. Somehow, in the midst of the day to day life, I find myself now looking at my own children, well out of toddlerhood and realize it happens in a flash. It’s never too early or too late to invest in professional portraits with your children.

Professional Family Portraits | Fort Worth

If it’s been a year of more since your last professional family portraits, it might be time to start thinking about booking a photographer for some!

I love taking clients with young children to my outdoor field location for family photos. It gives children plenty of space to be themselves and warm up to the camera. With so many years under my belt, I’ve learned to let the kids lead the session flow for the most enjoyable experience for everyone. For example, if kids are super happy at the beginning, we’ll begin with your full family photos! When one kiddo needs a break, we’ll photograph a parent with the other child, etc. I know it’s not natural for most people to be in front of a camera, but I promise that I will guide you every step of the way to a beautiful gallery.

Having professional family portraits is such a special way to not only document your children’s growth, but the relationships between all of the members of your family.

The B Family joined me in the field to celebrate little sister’s first birthday! Below are just a few of my favorites from their session.

6 pounds and 9 ounces, lookin' up at me
Like I have all the answers
I hope, I have the ones you need
I've never really done this, now I know what scared is

Sometimes, I'll protect you from everything that's wrong
Other times, I'll let you just find out on your own
But that's when you'll be growin'
And the whole time I'll be knowin'

You're gonna fly with every dream you chase
You're gonna cry but know that that's okay
Sometimes life's not fair but if you hang in there

You're gonna see that sometimes bad is good
We just have to believe things work out like they should
Life has no guarantees, but always loved by me
You're gonna be

I'm afraid you'll have to suffer through some of my mistakes
Lord, knows I'll be trying, oh, to give you what it takes
What it takes to know the difference between getting by and livin'

Cause anything worth doing is worth doing all the way
Just know you'll have to live with all the choices that you make
So make sure you're always givin' way more than you're takin'

You're gonna fly with every dream you chase
You're gonna cry, but know that that's okay
Sometimes life's not fair, but if you just hang in there

You're gonna see that sometimes bad is good
We just have to believe things work out like they should
Life has no guarantees, but always loved by me
You're gonna be

Someone's everything
You're gonna see
Just what you are to me

You're gonna fly with every dream you chase
We just have to believe things work out like they should
Life has no guarantees, but always loved by me
You're gonna be, always loved by me

You’re Gonna Be, by Reba McEntire

Be vulnerable enough to choose joy because those who truly love you will support you no matter what. Motherhood is hard, but your struggle doesn’t have to be yours alone.
— Brene Brown

Having a baby flips our world upside down in more ways then we could ever anticipate. It is exhausting, rewarding, lonely, joyful, and so many other conflicting emotions. It’s so easy to get swept into the whirlwind and forget that we are not alone. There are universal struggles in parenthood. Talking with a friend who understands can provide so much relief. When we stop trying to be perfect parents and be authentic to what we want out of life, magic happens.

Family Photos At Sunset

The days are getting longer and everyone seems to have family photos at sunset on the mind!

With Spring time knocking at our door, spending time outdoors is actually enjoyable! Kiddos can run and play in the field while we document some of your sweetest moments. For families with young ones, the field might be the best option so kids have plenty of space to get comfortable with me before the session. It’s important to me that everyone, including your babies, feel comfortable, especially since it can be hard to do so in front of a camera. Don’t worry though, I will guide your posing and give you prompts to get those sweet photos you know and love on my website and social media!

Golden Hour takes place 1-2 hours before sunset. If you are interested in booking family photos at sunset in 2022, now is the best time to book to ensure availability.
