Donté x Ossie Uptown Maternity Session

Guess how these two spent part of their anniversary…Having a maternity session with me! I was really excited about working with Donté and Ossie on this maternity session. I had the perfect locations in mind for them. I spoke with the couple prior to the shoot and they told me they both come from the city and they wanted something to reflect that. Donté from New Orleans and Ossie hailing from New Jersey.

We started the session in West Village and I couldn’t have been more pleased. The weather was perfect surprisingly *Texas weather is crazy, the location was great but my couple stole the show. Definitely a stylish couple for sure. You could really tell how much these two cared for one another. Their chemistry was electric. Why do these pics make me think about R&B songs from the early 2000’s??? I’ve got some Carl Thomas going off in my head right now, LOL!

Our second stop was in Preston Hollow and the backdrop definitely complimented the couple. Ossie’s dress had this look of elegance that was just breathtaking and Donté added his signature flair to the mix. This shoot is an indicator of how much their baby will be loved AND how fashionable she will be! Take a look at our maternity session and share your thoughts.


Kierra's Miracle Baby

I have known Kierra for years and I have shot numerous sessions for her and her family. This session was different though. Kierra contacted me and told me she needed my services for a maternity session. I was excited because someone that I consider to be family believed that I have the eye and imagination to bring their vision to life.

During our initial talk Kierra told me that this was her miracle baby. She said due to health reasons she wouldn’t ever be able to conceive a child. I couldn’t imagine the heartache and mental anguish women experience on a daily basis that want to have children, but are told they never will. This was not the case for her though. I know that when she found out she was pregnant the joy that overcame her was probably exponential.

Our session took place at The Lumen Room studio in Dallas. The space was really nice, with plenty of large windows that provided ample amounts of natural light. I really enjoyed this session not only because it was close to me, but also because of the detail I got to put into the session. Check out the sign I had made by Willow and Bone. She does really awesome work and I use her anytime I need any kind of signage or handwritten props. Take a look at our maternity session below and get a glimpse of how much fun we had.
