Happy Place… Galveston Beach Family Photographer

This summer I had the pleasure of capturing endless memories for several families at the beach. As I like to call it, my happy place. Each session was special in a truly unique way.

This family did not disappoint, even the way they walked down the stairs was perfect. Momma holding on tight to her sweet baby girl just made realized how much I miss shooting babies. They ran careless full of smiles, making it even more challenging and which makes my work speak for it self. Children push me to capture beauty, innocence, joy, and sometimes a very unhappy face, raw is what I thrive to capture for each and one of you.

The sun was on fire that night. It was hard to miss it and you know me I absolutely love sunshine in the background, I was having a field day. If you missed the first part of this session click here.

Can’t wait to capture more beautiful families in 2016.

To Shoot or Not To Shoot? Galveston Family Photographer

Whaa?? Yes I am back with more sneak peeks.

I lost count but I am so happy to cater to other amazing photographers. This beautiful family came down from Dallas for their beach session.

I remember when I first started shooting and called my self a photographer, it was a few years ago any who. I remember seeing a local photographer’s work and said to myself “I would love to book a session with her for my daughter.” The photographer didn’t offer digital packages like I do but she offered products, prints and such and hands down I was willing to spend big bucks  on products and digitals. I remember telling my husband “you will probably see a big transaction, in the fifteen hundreds so don’t freak out because it’s me.” I contacted the photographer and she turned me down, I remember her asking if I was a photographer I replied with a “yes” and she told me “sorry I don’t shoot other photographers” which seemed crazy to me. She didn’t want my business or my money or possibly thought I couldn’t afford her (which is fine). That’s when I told my self that the day another photographer sends me an email asking me to shoot her family I would automatically say yes. I don’t see shooting my peers as a threat I see it as a compliment. I absolutely love that other photographers like my style and are happy with the end result. Most of the time we have created friendships which in this business is priceless.

Do you shoot other photographers?

I’ll get off my soap box now.. haha

Galveston Beach Family Photographer

The blog has been neglected for quite some time now and it’s all on me I know… its just that I have been shooting so many beautiful families lately I haven’t had time to sit down and write about it.

So here I go…. my HAPPY PLACE.

I shot this session right before my husband and I left on vacation a few weeks back and this beautiful family was a dream! Let me just say that I’ve known Mandy for a few years now, she’s an amazing newborn photographer and her family is just the sweetest. Not every photographer is blessed to have such an invested and cool dad who is willing to go the extra mile to get that shot but I did and he made my job super easy. Let me just say that I wanted to share the whole gallery with y’all but it does consist of over eighty images and well like I said I still have so much to edit and blog so I will keep it short but I will be back with a few more from this amazing session very soon.

And if you are wondering, YES I am still taking session for the month of November and a few more for the month of December so be sure to contact me to book your session before the year ends.
