On the eve of my 35th birthday, I figured I would post the pictures from sweet baby Millie’s 1st birthday morning! This will be short and sweet…simply because I lack the energy to put too much more into it 🙂 This teensy little diva has brought joy and love into our family that I didn’t even know existed. She’s a feisty little thing but that snaggle tooth grin can melt the coldest of hearts. We love you Emilia Ann and I couldn’t think of a better miniature human to share my birthday month with!

Let me preface this post with a little background information into casa de Roebuck. For those of you who don’t know me personally, we moved from our first home last May. Our old house was full of charm. It was the cutest little 1940’s house and I loved it! We had awesome big windows with some killer natural light. Our new place was bought with construction and renovations on the horizon. I was snapping away at the littlest Roebuck the other day, as she dismantled the “kid approved drawer.” I thought to myself, it’s time I came clean. So, here I go… My house has HORRID natural light…but I cheat! I often hear from friends/clients that they just don’t have great light at home. Well guess what, sometimes we just don’t get the charming 1940’s house with big ol’ windows and killer natural light. So we need to improvise! My biggest tip for those of us that suffer from this travesty known as lack-o-light-itis, is to learn your house. No matter how light challenged your home is, there are ALWAYS nooks and spots throughout the day where you can capture awesome shots of your little ones. You just need to look to the light! The great thing about lifestyle photography is that it’s REAL life. I have learned that my kitchen is a favorite spot to capture my kiddos. Would I want to do a family portrait in here? Nope. But I love capturing my oldest helping me cook, my middle helping wash dishes, or the littlest wreak havoc on the tupperware drawer. That’s what we do. It’s our element and I love capturing those moments. Now onto the cheating part…our kitchen has two small windows which face north, so there really isn’t a time where I get great light in there. BUT if I open the back door (which faces W), voila! I can sit/stand anywhere in the kitchen (even directly in the doorway) and I’m able to get exactly what I want with the perfect amount of light 🙂 Until the day comes that we bust out a few walls and get this joint to where we want it, I make do with what we have. I’m not going to let the “downfalls” of our home prevent me from capturing memories with my little ones. So, bust out those cameras, look to the light ( no matter how unconventional it is or how you get it), and start snapping away!
I’ve had a handful of one year sessions in the past few months and it’s really taking an emotional toll on me! I love documenting HRP clients from the time they are brand new babes, to their sitting 6mo sessions, and of course the one year mark. They are on the move and full of their own distinct personality! Here’s the part where my emotional stability comes into play…these recent one year cuties were initially photographed when I was ready to pop with our own sweet little diva. These one year birthdays are making me come to terms with the fact that our little Millie is coming up on HER one year session with dear old mom. I can barely handle it 😉 Happy one year little man!
Ready set GO Chasers! Summer studio mini’s are officially open! Beat the heat and meet me in the Fort Worth Stockyards at my natural light studio. It’s light, airy, and the perfect blank canvas. These are ideal for capturing those recent milestones or even getting a jumpstart on your holiday card pictures. What a relief to be done with that in JULY 😉 $250 includes a 20 minute session, and approximately 8-10 digital files. If you are wanting to book a spot, shoot me an email. This filled quick last year, so if you’re interested, don’t wait!
I was thrilled when this sweet mama reached out about a newborn session for their new arrival…a sugary sweet baby GIRL! I’ve been lucky enough to document big brother a handful of times and have loved watching him grow and change. I love being able to see and photograph the connection between my littlest clients and their new bitty counterparts. It can be magical 🙂 B family, thanks for bringing me into your home to document this special time!
