Babies - The Documentary {Keller Baby Photographer}

Babies' Documentary

One of my blog readers passed this along and I viewed it...adorable! I think its coming out this spring so this "grandma" will have to check it out for sure. I love how the directors were quoted as saying "You can't direct babies!"...too true and why I love photographing them so much. You never know what they'll do but it will always bring a smile to your face!

The photo above is one of my baby portraits from the family lifestyle session talked about in the previous post as an illustration for this post.

Lifestyle Photography {Southlake childrens photographers}

A wonderful way for Fort Worth area families to preserve childhood memories is to schedule a lifestyle portrait photography session. I travel to your home for this particular photo session and we'll use indoor, natural light photography, photographing your family in both casual and lightly posed picture styles. Kids jumping on the bed, your daughter playing with her dolls, mom and dad reading them a story... beautiful, elegant, naturally creative pictures are some of the best ways to keep those memories forever!

Cathy Zaragoza Photography also offers a "day in the life" photo sessions which consist of several hours spent with your family capturing in portraits in a variety of indoor and outdoor activities. Our Dallas and Fort Worth photograhy studio includes a beautiful hardbound coffee table photo book to remember that day when you opt for this particular photography session. Our photographers typically serve Southlake, Keller, Colleyville, Grapevine, Trophy Club etc areas, although it should be noted that we do travel and or meet with clients at locations throughout Dallas and Fort Worth for fun and friendly photography sessions. Email or call us for more detailed information about all our portrait sessions.

The Keller family whose images are posted here, scheduled their lifestyle photography session during the latter part of winter which was great, the weather didn't even matter because it was an in home photo shoot...we captured some beautiful moments and memories.

Bella Ballerinas {Dallas / Fort Worth Photography}

I'm showing this recent portrait of my beautiful little Miss G and her cousin K. We were seriously overdue for some photos and as they both just finished their ballet classes I wanted to take their pictures in their tutus. I just know these photos will be special to them throughout their lives. Aren't they beautiful?

Miss G is not doing ballet next year to devote more time to tumbling so this was her last performance. I just think little girls are so adorable with their little toddler bellies and ballerina slippers lol. Grandma, being the sentimental, gushy person I am, has kept the ballet slippers. I guess that's why I became a photographer, I love to keep those memories! Either that or Clean House is going to come calling in a few years and make me get rid of some of these "memories!"

Look Out World! {Southlake Child Photography}

We lucked out last week and got this Southlake photography session in right before the cold weather came back. It was a lovely day in Southlake and the child I had the pleasure of photographing this day was a busy little 2 year old who was the cutest little guy I've seen in a while! I could have eaten him up with a spoon. He was a very busy little man, I should have brought my faster lens...I have quite a few pictures that were a blur from his running lol. It was a good workout for me I know! Grandma, your gallery just went up but here's a few I just had to make into a storyboard because they were so precious as he discovered the dandelions.

I consider myself blessed to have families like this one, who trust me to capture timeless and precious moments such as these in pictures. Grandparents have often commented that they'd give a lot to go back in time and save these memories in pictures of their own children and that's why they're determined not to let these memories of their grandchildren go by without documenting them in sweet pictures.

Biker Chicks Rule! {DFW Photographers}

Had a little fun this weekend doing some "biker" shots with my granddaughter and her cousin. My late husband was a Harley rider and I always wanted to do something with a biker theme in his honor...so I grabbed my two favorite little girls and asked them to make "biker" faces...Gigi couldn't keep the grin on her face but K gave me a hard look!

Hungry-Girl, Yay! {diets}

Well, I am one happy woman, let me just say! I discovered the BEST cookbook last weekend called Hungry Girls' 200 (recipes) under 200 (calories)! I was already doing a lifestyle change for my diabetes and had recently rejoined Weight Watchers online to help me. And it was working. But I was hungry....I am definitely a Hungry Girl! I love food and always will...no supermodel anorexia for me! And I know how hard we women are on ourselves..."I'll do pictures of me when I lose 10 lbs" or "I don't like how I look in photos"...you know all the reasons we don't want to be in the portraits. And family portraits are so important. So ladies, here's a great way to jumpstart losing those pounds we all probably found over the holidays!

So I got this book and devoured it over the weekend...and went shopping on Monday. I sent my "bad" foods home with a friend on Tuesday...see how good I am being? lol Anyway, this book and author takes the stuff we really like to eat (junk food/fast food) and converts the recipes to low fat / low carb / healthy recipes.

Now I am no cook but these are easy! I made one of the breakfasts this morning (see attached image)...OMG...it was the best breakfast sandwich I have ever had! Sorry Whataburger! She has a website hungry-girl.com and if you go to youtube and goggle hungry girl you can find tv appearances etc. It's that time of year so I thought I'd pass along a great website! Enjoy!

Playa Del Carmen Mexico {Wedding}

This Keller photography studio had the pleasure of photographing a wedding this past fall in Playa del Carmen. Wow, gorgeous, gorgeous (but very hot) wedding location. The resort where the wedding was held, was 4 stars and out of this world. The happy couple live in Houston but the bride is the best friend of one of my long time Southlake customers and I'd met the bride several times. It was an honor take wedding pictures of their special day. Although, it was very hard to leave my beautiful suite with hot tub, 4 poster bed, room service...you get the picture.

And speaking of pictures..here's a few from their big day!
