When his mommy called inquiring about his newborn sessions, I was so excited! She had already bought a “Where the Wild Things Are” crown! Themes are so much fun, especially this one!  We wanted to do something a little different than the normal set up, here is what we came up with!

Look at that sweet smile! MJ’s Photography

Daniel had so much hair! I absolutely love photographing newborns with lots of hair, its just the cutest! He was such a sleepy baby, the poses were endless with him. My favorite pose is the Taco Pose (I’m not sure who comes up with the newborn pose terms, it is definitely odd!) Below is an example of what I am talking about. Isn’t he the cutest?

Newborn prop clothes are an addiction. I can’t help myself, I just adore them! I put him in some gray mohair pants and bonnet and we just swooned! But how could you not? He’s perfect!

Sometimes simple is best for newborns, minimal props and just letting them be. Daniel owned this image with his adorable smirk and those gorgeous lips!

I love this one in Black and White!

I always and I mean always have to do a swaddled up pose! It just reminds you of how small they are later on. Years from now, when you look back at your newborn’s portraits, you will truly see how much they have changed and how small they were! Newborn portraits are so important, they are typically done in the first 2 weeks!

Another shot I always get are their toes. I mean what is cuter than baby toes? Nothing! Gah they get me every time. So perfect and sweet.

Joseph Daniel-17 days old MJ’s Photography

Newborn photography Houston

Meet Joe! He was such a joy to photograph. He decided to come quite a bit early, two days before his Mommy’s Maternity session to be exact! He spent around a week in the NICU. He was 17 days old when we did his newborn session. His parents say that he is pretty alert for a newborn, but he just couldn’t resist with my tactics and was on his best behavior.

Since he was sleeping so well, we posed him in a basket for his newborn portraits. I think three Joe’s could have fit inside the basket, he wasn’t quite 5 pounds yet! But with lots of fluff, he snuggled right up! I think he looks so handsome in blue.

I can’t resist newborn baby boys in a bonnet! Baby girls get the head pieces and tie backs, and little boys look adorable in knitted bonnets! I love how Joe’s little legs just curl up to his stomach!

For my sessions I provide all of the props and outfits! There is no need to bring anything, unless of course you want to!

How sweet is he in these teeny tiny overalls? I had purchased a new outfit for him to use, but he was just to teeny for it!

Mommy ordered her own special outfit for Joe’s Newborn Session! I was so excited to capture this adorable set up! Ninja Turtles!

Look how sweet his hands are in this Ninja Turtle Portrait! Mommy and Daddy chose the top image to display on a unique wooden block for their wall! I cannot wait to see how their collage turns out! How could it not be great with how perfect this little guy is?

Here are a few more that I just have to share to with you.  Joe was gifted this amazing quilt and I love that they brought it along for him to be photographed with it.

It’s never to early to book a newborn session! I have bookings out until the end of November! I only photograph two newborn sessions per week, so book now!

Family photography Houston texas

MJ does Family photography Houston texas and she truly loves capturing the precious memories of families.

The Skala family originally inquired about getting maternity portraits done with their 15 month old daughter, Vera. She also revealed that they were expecting twins, but were waiting to find out the gender of the two babies at birth! We set up a date and two days before their appointment, she went into labor. She delivered two beautiful baby girls! Babies do not wait for anything, not even for their mother to get her Maternity portraits taken.

We switched her maternity portrait session to a family portrait session and I was so excited to capture this truly amazing part of their lives. Three baby girls under the age of two!

During their family portraits, all three baby girls did amazing. Mom and Dad were so proud of all three of their baby girls and it beamed through their faces. They sure do have a lot to be proud of!

Capturing the true personalities of families is what I strive for. Anyone can press a button on a camera, but it takes a true professional to make the images come alive. To capture love, happiness, and images that deserve to hang for everyone to see. That is my goal for every family portrait session and why I take pride in being a family photographer! Of course the newborn photographer side of me just had to capture some of just the twins!

When I first met this amazing family back in October, they were a family of three and had just found out that they were expecting a new bundle of joy. Daddy was deploying within a week and half and they were moving back home for a while.

Fast forward to now, daddy got to come home and see Oliver for around 30 hours before he had to go back. I was overjoyed when she reached out to me to see if I was available to take Oliver’s newborn portraits.

He was a little over a week old during his newborn session. He took a little convincing, but he did settle and allow me to capture some amazing moments!

Since Daddy is in the Army, we had to include some military poses. Big sister Abigail had some done the same way when she was a newborn.

Big sister Abigail was perfect holding her baby brother. She gave the sweetest smiles.

I absolutely love getting to watch and capture families as they grow. It is my absolute favorite thing about my job!

Here are some more poses from Oliver’s Newborn session that I just have to share. Look at that sweet smirk!

Fay’s Story-Newborn photography katy tx

MJ does Newborn photography katy tx. I was scrolling through a moms group on Facebook one evening when I saw a post by a mother who had delivered her baby girl at 26 weeks. I had just recently moved to the area and didn’t know a lot of people, but I saw her post and I knew instantly that I wanted to offer to drive to Austin from Katy, Texas to photograph sweet Fay in the NICU.  Right away Krystal responded with a yes! There were only certain times that Fay could be held. At 1 pound, you can imagine how fragile she was. If I am remembering correctly, it was around 11:30am when I got there. I remember scrubbing in to go into the NICU, talking to Fay’s dad beforehand, and then the first time I saw her. She was so tiny. She looked like a Barbie doll. But oh was she beautiful. I could see the personality in her right away! When Krystal finally got to hold her sweet girl, she busted into tears, which I did capture. What you don’t see, is me crying as well. I enjoy photographing newborns, this was a first for me.

Fay’s mom, Krystal, wrote a little bit about Fay’s story.

“Fay was born March 17, 2015 weighing only 1 lb 13 oz and 13 inches long. She was born at 26 weeks which is 14 weeks early. She spent 98 days in the NICU at St. Davids Medical Center in Austin. During that time she had 4 blood transfusion, was brought back to life on day 2, had a tear in her esophagus, was on a c-pap, NG tube to help her eat, got staff, and scolding skin. Fay stayed strong and on June 22, 2015 she came home. After bringing her home she had 3-4 doctors appointments a day until December of 2015. Fay had a NG tube(feeding tube) placed placed in September due to the fact that she was not growing as much as she should. After going through many different tests and seeing multiple doctors, the conclusion was made that Fay was going to be a slow growing baby. She would only gain 6-8 grams a day (average 20-30 grams a day) and had the NG tube removed. Now during all of this Fay has grown and developed beyond what anyone thought she ever would. She is eating one her own, crawling, has one doctors appointment a week, and is slowly catching up with babies her age. Some of her favorite things to do are feeding herself, chasing her two dogs around the house, getting into whatever she can, splashing in the bath, being read and sang to, and most of all she loves exploring the world around her. It truly is a blessing to get to watch her grow and become her own person.”

I had kept in contact with them after the session and we discussed her newborn session. I was so excited to be her Newborn photography katy tx.  After Fay’s 98 days in the NICU, she finally came home. That very next day, they brought her to my in-home studio for her newborn portrait session. I was overjoyed to see her and enjoyed her session so much! I finally got to hold her!

Fast forward to now. I was honored to be chosen as the Newborn photography katy tx to capture Fay’s First Birthday portraits. She was born on St. Patricks day, which you will see in her portraits. We took them in a gorgeous field in Katy, Texas.  She is 14 pounds and doing great!

Here are some images from her First Birthday and Cake smash session!

MJ’s Photography – Houston newborn photos

MJ does Houston newborn photos.  I live for the sweet baby poses. I had the honor of taking Tyler’s newborn portraits. He was 8 days old at the time of his shoot. His big sister, Emma, is two and was amazing for newborn and sibling shots.

He wasn’t having the sleeping part at the beginning, but I love awake shots just as much as those sleepy poses. If you do not know how to swaddle, learn! It is so important for those times where baby just wants to be awake. Embrace it. He was awake for a good solid hour. We went ahead and did sibling shots, family shots, and then moved on to swaddled poses.

Baby Tyler was awake for a good portion of his Newborn session. How could you not love those eyes? Houston newborn photos

Newborn photography is unpredictable. You can have a plan, but that doesn’t mean you will get to follow it. The babies run the show, we just follow their lead. You have to learn to be able to adapt to any situation and learn how to pose each individual baby. Once Tyler fell asleep, he let me pose him whichever way I wanted. So we did around 5 poses in 30 minutes. Just in time for him to have to go, if you know what I mean, and wake himself up!

Here is one of my favorite shots from Tyler’s newborn portrait session at my in home studio in Houston Texas. The taco pose. This pose is no easy task, if you have tried it, then you know!

Newborn photography tyler tx

Another helpful tip. Do not get frustrated or stressed. The newborn can sense this and it will only make matters worse. Stay calm, play white noise, keep it warm, and if all else fails, swaddle them up!

Here are some more images from Tyler’s newborn session. I love changing out wraps and poses.

Most of all. Remember to be safe. No pose is worth the risk.

MJ’s Photography captures Weston lakes photography in the Houston, Cypress area.

 

I finally took some time to take some pictures for me. For my soul if you will. Sometimes you just have to pick up your camera and see where it leads you. Usually it leads me straight to my two year old, Emma Lyn. I usually get her running around, as two year olds do. But this time, I wanted some close ups. Some that really capture her beauty and her soul.

Weston lakes photography

Little back story. She tells everyone, “mamma takes pictures of babies.” (although I do all portraits and not just babies lol) She is always curious about the beanbag I use for the newborns, the wraps, the outfits. Anytime I drop her off with daddy or at Mothers Day out, she says its because I am taking pictures of babies. She is obsessed!

Capturing newborn, children, and family portraits is my speciality,  I love capturing each child’s personality.

If you are in the Weston Lakes area, check out my website!

Now back to her photos. I asked her if she wanted to get on the beanbag and act like a baby for me to take pictures. Her little eyes lit up and she was so excited! So I stripped her down and swaddled her up(with a maternity gown ha ha) I placed a 12 month knitted bonnet on her and posed her! She followed my instructions and of course pretended to sleep for some. This only lasted 5 minutes, let’s be serious, she is two! But it was enough for me 🙂

Do you like the awake newborn shots or the sleepy poses during the newborn sessions? I try to capture both for all of my clients. It’s good to have a mixture of poses and colors.

She was a Christmas month baby, so we had to make it special with some christmas decor!
