Savvy Images Maternity Photographer in Houston

Momma Roesner

Maternity

I’ve know this pretty Momma for many years, and have been blessed to take photos for her twice! (you can see her engagement photos from two years ago HERE) It makes me incredibly happy so many of my clients repeatedly choose Savvy Images to capture their important moments. Since moving back to Texas, I’ve been doing the full time Momma gig, BUT my little Lady recently started school. Time with her is priceless and wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world, but MY… how I often yearned to photograph beautiful things!! Thank goodness for beautiful, radiant, past clients like this one who make babies… Haha.

These two love nature and being outdoors, therefore an outdoor maternity session was the only way to go. Even in the mid-summer TEXAS heat! This Momma was a MAJOR trooper. She wore her mother’s vintage hat during her session and was stunning thru to the very end. We tried to capture as many great images as we could before melting. While I like to make photo sessions as painless as possible, unfortunately I have no control over the smoldering heat. Thank goodness, the Daddy-to-be was patient. Most of all, I truly admired how MUCH he adored and cared for his lovely bride. One day he is going to be such a great role model for his little man. These two are going to make incredible parents. I’m so eager to meet their precious baby boy next month!!

Savvy Images Monthly Photo Featured

Proud owner

Babies, Personal

I am now the proud owner of an active little one year old!! Haha. It still sounds so weird to say! Things have been a bit quiet over here on the Savvy Images blog, so I wanted to share a quick personal post. From a feisty newborn, to a gassy baby, to a spunky toddler, this is my inquisitive little lady, Scotty! Of course I had to take the obligatory monthly sticker photos. ;-) We got lucky with the making of this little human… as long as she’s not tired or hungry, she is one happy girl. Though there were usually plenty of cute smiles, I did my best to capture all of her many little expressions each month. Seriously, take a look at what a good majority of month two looked like! Ahhhhh. Soooo cute, but I’m soooo glad that’s behind us! What an incredible year it has been! Each month I also tried to used different headbands, onesies, blankets and toys that were gifted to her from family and friends for an added personal touch. As you can see, when she started teething around 5 months, she spent a good amount of time with her little natural rubber teether, so I decided it was only appropriate to include it in our photo. The same with her fur sister Reis, who insisted on half-heartedly participating in her monthly photo sessions. We had to include her also!

Can we talk about how difficult it was to actually TAKE these photos each month?! There were many times when I had to FORCE myself to make it happen. Many of them are not up to my ‘professional’ standards, but regardless, I’m so glad to have them. She finally figured out the whole sticker deal. (as if…Mom!) Good thing there aren’t any more, because even with Dad’s help, it was difficult enough keeping the last one on her for a hot minute. I had all these photos displayed together at her birthday party a few weeks ago and it made me SO very happy. Not only did we all survive the first year, but my little nugget has truly flourished. A HUGE accomplishment in my book. Being a new mom, there are SO many overwhelming things going on in life. Mainly trying to have a life, and trying discovering your “new normal” in life! HA. Of the MANY things I’ve learned, prioritizing my time is near the top of that list. There are many gorgeous sessions I’m dying to share with you guys (and will soon). In the meantime, I can’t resist passing up a chance to capture more beautiful memories for my awesome clients AND spend as much time as possible with this little Chunka-Lova. She’s growing and changing so quickly, right in front of my eyes! Savvy Images - proud owner - monthly photos

Saint Arnold Brewery Photo Shoot Savvy Images

Travel Tuesday • Saint Arnold Brewery

Travel

For those of you that had a chance to read last week’s Travel Tuesday post, the sneaky skyline photo of Houston was taken on the rooftop of the Saint Arnold Brewery! Last spring I was sent there on an assignment by Edible Austin Magazine to take photos for a magazine article they were publishing. Not a bad gig, if I say so myself. If you would like, you can read that article online and see some of the photos by clicking here. I had the opportunity to meet, photograph and talk with the founder, Brock Wagner, and was excited to discover that he’s a really cool guy! But I would say that you’d have to be, in order to come up with such a great craft beer and brewery. I’d been to Saint Arnold once before with my boyfriend (now husband) and friends. We did one of their weekend brewery tasting tours, so I knew a little about what I was getting myself into. But this time, I got to see it all…even the making in action. I learned WAY more about the craft beer making process than I ever thought possible. I knew it was good stuff already, but now I understood why! Just in time to wrap everything up by happy hour, with a nice frosty beverage, overlooking the busy skyline of Houston. I’m sure you guys can understand that I had to make SURE it was still good stuff!? ;-) From what I understand (for obvious safety reasons), not just anyone is allowed to go up onto the roof, so I’m very excited to have had the opportunity. It was a pretty amazing way to end a very cool photo shoot. Have I mentioned lately, just how much I love what I do!? If you haven’t visited the Saint Arnold Brewery, you should definitely make time to do so this spring. And if you live in Houston, you just might be excited to hear that Edible HOUSTON will soon be published on a magazine rack near you soon!Travel Tuesday - Savvy Images - Saint Arnold Brewery - Houston Texas
