Keller family photography - See how they've grown! {Keller Children Photography}

I have had the pleasure of photographing these two Keller kids since they were a baby and a toddler...so hard to believe they are now 5 and 9! The little boy is not so little anymore...he's got braces and has lost all his baby faced features...Mom and I both got a little sad ruminating over that, he's such a young gentleman too and always has been great to photograph. Little Sis has hair to die for...she has got that gorgeous curly hair that the rest of us wish we had and drool over...but I hear from Mom its not too much fun to brush out. Ah well, beauty always has a price!

We were trying out a new photography location in a gorgeous neighborhood in Southlake. It had some cool features like this huge fallen tree perfect for posing, a nature made "teepee" of fallen branches and for fun, a great wood swing. Fall is a great time for some fresh looks of your children, memories you can hold in your hand, family pictures by Cathy Zaragoza Photography.

Beautiful Boy {DFW Baby Photographers}

Little B is the embodiment of a beautiful boy! He looks so much like his big sister who has been featured on my blog in the past. Mommy has strong genes! He is a sweetie, once he warmed up to the camera and studio setting he gave me the best smiles! Mom waited until he was 8 months for his pictures and that worked out great, he was sitting up much easier and that's such a good age for babies. Babies are generally very happy little campers around 6 to 8 months. I think the beautiful pictures made it worth the wait, don't you? I do love to photograph babies!

Playa Del Carmen Mexico {DFW Wedding Photographers}

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!

Little Man M

He is 3 and he is a delight. He had me laughing throughout the session with his cute expressions and just being a boy. You can tell he is the apple of Mom and Dad's eyes...I love doing family sessions where the love is so obvious. He did enjoy my toot machine, I haven't met a boy of any age yet that doesn't!

Beauty and the Beach {Fort Worth baby photography}

I just thought that was funny for a photography blog title. I swear, I crack me up! ; -)

This is a picture of my little stinker Gigi and her cousin "K"...we were just playing the other day and I was selling this backdrop so wanted to use it one last time. I change out props and backgrounds often to keep my portraits creative and fresh.
Gigi did not like how the sand felt on her body at all, but don't you love her purple swimsuit? K was quite happy doing anything with the sand, mostly eating it. I bet her diaper had sand in it later! Wish we had all been at a real beach but for now, this will do!

Beautiful day for a beautiful family

Well, my wishes came true! Nice weather rolled back into the Fort Worth area just in time for this family's photo session. We initially planned a studio portrait session but decided at the last minute to photograph outside since our weather cooperated! I can't tell you how easy and fun photography was with this family...the kids were great for putting up with my silliness and tickles! Mom and Dad did a great job dressing the whole family...they definitely made the "do" dress list and their outfits worked so great at our location. I'm almost finished proofing your session but I did promise a sneak peek ...here you go!

And Mom says...

Dear Cathy,

I am speechless!  Narrowing down is going to be very difficult.  The photos are wonderful.

Thanks for a very special day! - A. M.

Sweet Newborn

This sweet little newborn is my grandbaby's new cousin. So Gigi has to share the spotlight now...not sure how she's going to like that! This is her aunt's baby on mom's side (Gigi's dad is my son). So while I still only have the one grandbaby, I hope baby K can be my honorary grandbaby. I'm sure I'll be photographing her almost as much as Gigi. I shot these, headed out of town so this is a very delayed sneak peek while I get back to the session. Here ya go Jen!

I couldn't resist adding one of Gigi we did at the same time...here she is, my little cowgirl! I'm not sure what she thought of wearing a tutu with a cowgirl hat...she kind of looked at me like I was nuts!

The Soho Collection {Dallas and Fort Worth Photography Studio}

Beginning on August 15th, Dallas and Fort Worth photography studio, Cathy Zaragoza Photography will be offering framed wall collections and the first one out the door is the Soho. I showed it earlier with a different photo and now I am showing it in a different layout. The Soho is sooo hooo cool!

The portrait collections will be shown with more info. on my website very soon so be sure and stop by and check them out!

What gorgeous blue eyes he has! {Colleyville Photographers)

I photographed this guy last week and fell in love with his beautiful blue eyes! His mom booked a combination session, outdoor and studio portraits. I love black and white but couldn't bear to convert many of his because his eyes just stood out so much in color. I don't know how mom and dad ever tell him no when he turns those big eyes their way! He was a lot of fun to photograph even though I realized I forgot to give him his lollipop at the end This one was a favorite of mine from the session - great smile! And the other, well, we were just being silly and having fun!

How cute are they????

Okay this brother and sister were SO easy and fun to work with during their Fort Worth photography session. Miss P and Mr. D we'll call them....she had a great time playing in the petti (the "must have" for kids pictures this year...) and really worked the camera for me! Mr. D was a much older man of 6 so he was oh so cool and serious but the "tickle monster" got him in the end! Well, that and the promise of lollipops when we were finished with their portraits! They were both adorable and we had a really good photo shoot!
