Do you feel that calling to help someone? To help a family who is bringing a new baby into this world. Here are ways you can bless someone. It doesn't have to be much. Donated, gently used baby items or clothes, buy from our registry, donate diapers or volunteer your time.

I wish there would have been something like this when I was pregnant with my first. 17 years ago, I was in my early 20s. I didn't have any family around. No support system and I didn't have the money to prepare me with everything I needed to bring my wonderful daughter into this world. If you feel that calling in any way to help a family, please do so. There are so many ways you can do that. Instead of the hassle of posting on pages or dealing with marketplace, donate your baby's clothes that are no longer needed. Donate those highchairs, pack n plays, swings and toys. Attend my diaper drive, it will be quick and you will receive a beautiful fall picture of your child(ren)/family. You can even volunteer your time to see what all we do. This free baby shower will be coming up quickly and any love is appreciated. Even if all you can do at the moment is share this post.

Information on how you can help.

I had the honor of photographing at a TKD studio. It was so much fun watching everyone do their moves and receive new belts.

Twice a year, we come together as a community through Moms of Brenham and the Brenham Pregnancy Center to bless families who are preparing to welcome a new baby. This free community baby shower is made possible entirely through the generosity of people who simply choose to give.
Every box of diapers, pack of wipes, outfit, blanket, and baby item these families take home is a gift from someone who wanted to make a difference.

I’ll be set up at Market Days at the gazebo with a sweet fall backdrop. Bring your little ones dressed in their Halloween costumes or favorite fall outfits and come support these families!

Donations of $35 or more can be made by cash, Venmo, or Zelle. You can also donate diapers or purchase something from our registry. If you purchase from the registry before coming to the mini park on the 3rd of October. All you have to do is show me your order or give me your name.

Clothing and larger baby items can be dropped off at LexTex Rustics, 210 E Alamo St., Brenham, TX 77833, or the Brenham Pregnancy Center.

“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give.”
2 Corinthians 9:7

There are so many ways to help, and every little bit makes a difference. Together, we can remind these families that they are loved, supported, and not alone.

September is here, and before we know it, our Fall Baby Shower will be here too!

My Saturdays are completely booked this month, so I’m wondering if anyone would be willing to come out for a Sunday or Friday evening session. I would truly love to raise as much as possible for the families who will be attending this shower. Let me know if you'd be interested.

Every session helps provide diapers and other essential baby items for families who need a little extra support.

🩷Session Price: $35
📍Location: Bellville, Texas
🩵Time Slot: 5 to 10 minutes.
💚Families get one pose. Children (only) will have a fall set up.
All proceeds will go toward the Fall Baby Shower

If you’ve been thinking about booking a session, this is a beautiful way to have some updated photos while helping a local family at the same time. I’d love to fill these Sunday and Friday evening spots!

“Do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.” — Hebrews 13:16

Don't need pictures but would love to help, Amazon wish list is below.

What makes a great photograph?

It isn't always perfect lighting.
It isn't always everyone smiling.
It isn't always perfectly posed.

Sometimes it's emotion.

A photograph that makes you remember exactly how you felt in that moment will always be more valuable than a photograph that was simply perfect.

I love event photography because I get a front-row seat to people's joy.

I get to watch families reunite. Friends celebrate. Children dance. Couples fall in love all over again. And I get to freeze pieces of it in time.

That's a pretty wonderful job to have.

When I'm photographing an event, I'm not just looking for people smiling at my camera.

I'm watching.

For the grandmother wiping away a tear.
For the little boy dancing in the corner.
For the couple holding hands when they think nobody is watching.
For the hug that lasts just a little longer.

Those are the moments I don't want you to miss.

If you've been thinking about booking a photographer for something special, this is your little reminder not to wait until the last minute.

Weddings, celebrations, family sessions, church events, milestones and everything in between.

I'd love to hear what you're planning and see how I can help preserve it.

Your wedding details may seem small, but they tell a big part of your story.

The invitation you spent hours choosing.
The flowers.
The rings.
The something borrowed.
The little details that were uniquely yours. Like glasses from your senior prom.

Years from now, those photographs will help you remember not only how your wedding looked, but how it felt.
