I capture your pregnancy and newborn moments, as well as offer family sessions so you can continue to have updated images each year. <br><br>My clients often comment on my calm and quiet demeanor, and how well I work with their little ones.  Not only have I had my own two kiddos who taught me how to be patient, but I also taught 5th grade for 9 years in Flower Mound.  I loved working with those kids, and they definitely taught me the meaning of patience and the benefits of being still.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love working with my clients and capturing the beauty in their families.  Each family is unique, each pregnancy is extraordinary, and each little newborn is amazingly special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe so much in celebrating the moment that I volunteer with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep<\/a> when I am able.
