Adan’s Easter Adventure | Dallas Arboretum

Happy Easter everyone! Here are some of my favorite images from Adan’s Limited Easter Session from the Dallas Arboretum. He had a wonderful time playing with his Easter eggs and putting them into his Easter Basket! His session was a few weeks ago in March, and he had just celebrated his first birthday in February–and as such he was eager to show off his new found skill of standing up and taking a few steps in front of the camera. He grinned and laughed and had a great time showing off some of his baby teeth–which looked so adorable as he smiled! His Mom, Gaby, picked out some great outfits for him to wear, and even changed him super quickly by incorporating layers–his shirt and sweater vest were just placed on top of his overalls!

As a special treat for my blog viewers, I’ve included a couple sample Kotori Photo Jewelry pieces into this blog post, to help everyone have a good idea for the variety and beauty of Kotori Photo Jewelry!

I had such a great time catching up with Gaby and meeting her son Adan at the Dallas Arboretum last month–and I know she absolutely loves his portraits!

Remember that there is a Mother’s Day sale going on for Kotori Jewelry through Kathryn Ewton Photography for past, present, and future clients–so be sure to order your Kotori Photo Jewelry soon–and if you’re not yet a client, be sure to contact me soon to book your session!

I had the pleasure of photographing Samuel’s newborn portraits in December when he was just a week old–but I had been waiting on his arrival since July when his Mom, Adair, booked his newborn session with me. You may have seen some of Samuel’s newborn portraits before, because I blogged some of his Christmas themed newborn portraits in time for Christmas, and he is also featured on the back of my new business cards. In case you didn’t already know this, I love photographing newborns, so you can imagine how excited I was to know that I had Samuel’s session booked months in advance!

One of my favorite things about Samuel’s Newborn session was the great images I got of Samuel with his Mommy (Adair) and his Daddy (Josh). I just love the emotional connections that those portraits convey!

Thanks so much for stopping by to view Samuel’s Newborn Portraits! I absolutely LOVE photographing newborns, so if you live in Longview, or any nearby towns, such as Hallsville, or Tyler, and are looking for a newborn photographer, please contact me, as I’d love to meet with you to discuss your newborn portrait session!

 

If you regularly visit my blogsite, you may have noticed that I have been blog-happy for the past week and a half, and this post marks my last catch-up blog post from 2011! WooHoo!

I’ll be blogging some of my 2012 portrait sessions soon so be sure to stay in touch via Facebook!

Tracy & Amber are my cousins, whom I often get the privilege of visiting with when I go home to Houston. They had recently moved into a new house, and so I offered them a family photo session as my housewarming gift to them. We literally just walked around the corner from their backyard to find this gorgeous setting–the perfect place for their family portraits to help celebrate their new home! Here are some of my favorite images from their session.

 

 

It has been so much fun to watch these boys grow up, and to see how much Tracy & Amber love each other and their 3 boys. I hope you enjoyed seeing their family portraits! If you’re interested in booking a portrait session with me, be sure to let me know!

Here are some of our favorites from Jason & Ashley’s Couple Portrait Session.

Keith & Kathleen and their two daughters were such a joy to work with for their family portrait session at the Dallas Arboretum! When I first had the opportunity to meet with their family at a Starbucks near their home, I knew they would be a lot of fun to photograph because of their obvious love for one another.

Since this was their first family portrait session in several years, they wanted to have a variety of images to choose from, and had a goal in mind for showcasing their portraits in their family room at home. Here are some of our favorite images from their fabulous family session!

Thanks for taking a look at Keith & Kathleen’s Family Portraits! Be sure to come visit me on Facebook, and if you’re interested in booking a family portrait session with me, simply contact me to reserve your session today!

Introducing Corban | Newborn Portraits

Let me just say that I LOVE photographing newborns! Baby Corban was no exception! He was so sweet to cuddle with, and did a fantastic job for his first photo session. His parents Trey & Jenn (you might remember them from their maternity session) also are to be commended for following all of my instructions for preparing their home for Corban’s newborn session–and they did a GREAT job of putting up with their toasty home so that Corban could be comfortable in his birthday suit!

My assistant & I set everything up near an extra large & lovely sliding glass doorway, that was double the normal length! This allowed me to get some fantastic natural lighting–even though this particular day was quite overcast & a little rainy.

Jenn had told me ahead of time that she loves the color green, and that she plans to use it in her nursery for Corban–so I dyed some cheesecloth in a lovely shade of green, and found a lovely green textured blanket as a backdrop at Ikea. If you look closely, there is a green shawl that we used as well, that we incorporated into Jenn & Trey’s Maternity session with me.

For fun, we also did a set up of Corban with some baseball items–glove, ball, and bat! It was adorable!

I hope you enjoyed seeing these gorgeous images of baby Corban! If you are expecting, either through pregnancy or adoption, or looking for that perfect baby shower gift–go ahead and contact me–I’d love to photograph your newest addition to your family!

Jenn & Trey | Maternity Portraits

Jan

Jenn & Trey are some of my good friends, and they are expecting their first child, a baby boy, and he is due to arrive any day now! I was so very excited when Jenn told me that they wanted me to be their Maternity photographer!

For Jenn’s Maternity session, she wanted a mix of both indoor studio portraits, as well as some on-location maternity photos. Jenn and I discussed some ideas beforehand, and she even planned out an inspiration board with a collection of maternity photos that she really liked. She was so prepared, and knew exactly what she wanted out of her Maternity Session, and it was clear to me that her style would match well with what I have to offer my clients. We nailed down a date in November, and a location that Jenn had in mind that was around the corner from where she grew up!

 

 

Then we headed over to Grapevine Springs Park in Coppell, TX to take some on-location Maternity photos. Around the corner from the park, I had spotted an awesome gate that I wanted to incorporate into the session, and the colors went so well with some of the accessories Jenn brought with her for the session! One of the accessories was a broach that belonged to her grandmother, which makes these portraits that much more meaningful & special!

 

Grapevine Springs park was a lovely place for us to wrap up our session, it had a generous amount of shade thanks to the plentiful trees, as well as gorgeous scenery!

Jenn & Trey absolutely loved their maternity portraits, and recently booked me for their upcoming newborn session! I am so excited for Jenn & Trey, and I can’t wait to meet their baby boy soon!

 

As always, thanks for stopping  by, and don’t forget to leave some love for Jenn & Trey in the comments section!

Laurie + Billy’s Family | Dallas V-Day Mini

Jan
24
2012

I am beyond excited to be sharing these Valentine Mini-Session Portraits from Dallas! We met up at Reverchon Park on Saturday morning, and were greeted by a cold front! It was a chilly upper 30′s/lower 40′s–which was a BIG cool down from the warm Friday the day before! I was a tad bit afraid that the kids would be too cold to have a good time; but they proved to have fun & smile despite the colder weather!

We arrived at Reverchon Park, and walked over to a large shaded area of the park, that bordered the Katy Trail. Isaac got to write on my heart-shaped chalkboard, and all of the kids were excited about the special bag of prizes they would get to raid after their pictures were taken! We started off with a group shot of just the siblings, and then each child took turns having their Valentine’s Day Portrait taken. Isaac was a good sport with the pink Valentine’s chair, and did a fantastic job during his session giving me plenty of sweet smiles! Vivianna was so adorable in her cute pink dress & sweater, and her smile was so radiant! Jayden was a tad bit shy in front of the camera, but still gave me some adorable smiles! Jasmine was quite cold, so we decided to do a shot of her with her Mom & Dad to keep her warm & happy. We wrapped up the session with a few Family Portraits, and then the kids got to choose their treat from the treat bag, and choose a sticker!

Without further ado, I present to you Laurie & Billy’s family, and their 4 children-Isaac, Vivianna, Jayden, and Jasmine and their Valentine’s Day Mini-Session Portraits!

Here’s a little background on why this session was so near & dear to my heart:

I first met Laurie & Billy’s family at a gathering over the summer in Irving that my husband and I attended to catch up with some of our Missionary friends that were in town visiting from Dubai. Laurie & I immediately struck up a conversation, and noticed we had a lot of things in common! Both our husbands worked for Starbucks, for a long time, and we both had things to discuss about adoption. My husband Kevin & I had recently started discussing adoption an an option for ourselves, and Laurie freely shared with me the history of their adoption journey. She was such an encouragement to me to hear how God creates families through adoption. Since then, we have kept in touch through Facebook & through her blog.

Since the launch of my new website, I have wanted to find ways to show the beauty of families that have grown through the miracle of adoption. So you can imagine how excited I was to hear that Billy & Laurie signed up for the Valentine’s Day Mini-Session I was holding in Dallas!

 

I hope y’all enjoyed viewing these Valentine’s Day Mini-Session Portraits, and don’t forget to leave a comment!
