Houston Family Photographer: A "Going Away Photo Session"

This family contacted me about a going away photo session for their family. They wanted to forever remember their Houston home & the US. They wanted pictures of their house, their backyard & of course them being silly with those in the background. We had so much fun with the kids running around and jumping on their trampoline. I'm sure they will always remember their huge backyard. They were moving to France where, you know, backyards are not that big. 

I came to their home on the last day the kids were there before they flew to their grand parents home in France. Those were some bittersweet moments we were able to record forever.

My heart is happy because I know that since I provide my clients with a finished product, they will not forget their memories on some hard drive. This family will be flipping through pages of their beautiful photo album & remembering those days in sunny Texas. 

Houston Child Photos : My Nicky

If you are one of Barberries Photography clients you know who Nicky is :) He is my wild, uncontrollable baby boy who is 2.5-years-old. Just like every photographer's child (haha), he hates being photographed. But he loves looking at the photographs on my computer screen. So, this is how I bribe him. We take his pictures only to look at them after.

Since we live in Houston, TX where summers get pretty hot & won't let us spend as much time outside I try to take Nicky out to a park nearby or at least our neighborhood playground. 

If I take Nicky to a photo session with me, he remembers the names of the kids. & when we look at the pictures after the session he names them all to me. I think this is SO so sweet.

What I regret not doing is not having my maternity pictures done. I only have several iphone pictures while I should have had beautiful professionally edited ones.

My advice to all moms and soon to be moms is take as many pictures of your growing babies and bellies. Time flies & soon your pictures will help you tell your family story to your children and their children.

Of course like every mommy thinks about her own child, I think he is pretty darn cute. I love him with all my heart & spend every minute I have with him.

He is growing so very fast & I'm glad I have about a gazillion pictures of him from birth to today.

CAN YOU TELL what his favorite thing to wear is? haha!
