Dallas newborn photographer, Dallas family photographer: Sneak Peek, Stella

Meet beautiful baby Stella--plump, pink, and right at 4 weeks new. I had the pleasure of hanging out with this lovely family (and their gorgeous Golden Retriever, Sarge) this afternoon for a few hours. 4 weeks can be a tricky age to shoot because they don't sleep *quite* as much as a newborn (ridiculous, isn't it that in the "photog world", newborns are 2 weeks of age and under!). But, with the help of Daddy's magic rocking technique, we got some great sleepy baby shots as well as some bright eyed shots. So sweet! Enjoy your sneak peek, Jeff and Maggie! Thanks for welcoming me into your home.

Dallas photographer, Dallas children's photographer: MARCH MADNESS!!!

Exactly 1 month ago, that pesky groundhog predicted we'd have 6 more weeks of Winter. And, it HAS been cold...I mean, just a few weeks ago we had a FOOT of snow on the ground. Insane. But, today was an absolutely picture perfect day--the kind where I wish I could spend all afternoon outside with my family and my camera (who am I kidding...my camera IS part of my family).

So, it's time for a March Madness sale. Book a session this month (can be for any date in the future) and receive $100 off*. That means a simple session is $175 with a $125 print credit** and a modern session is $550 with all the goodies too! For more information on my sessions, click HERE and go to the "pricing" section.

Yes, I skipped a week. Oops! But, I made up with it with LOTS of shots for me this week! Whee! Dallas saw a record-breaking amount of snow Thursday and Friday--12.5 inches--and the Clark house took full advantage of it. My sweet girl would play and play and play until she couldn't take it any longer and would break down in tears because she was "fwwweeeeezin'"! We aren't exactly prepared in these parts with snow suits or waterproof mittens, so the wet and cold got to us quickly. But, again--she was mesmerized by it and we were mesmerized watching her. These are the kind of shots I meant to take when I started this project--shots for me, shots of my life, shots that documented my most prized possession--my family. Here are a couple of shots from our snow days!

Dallas photographer: Sneak peek, 5 years in the making...

When Kristin emailed me in December, I immediately thought "WHY DIDN'T I DO THAT?!?". Travis and Kristin just celebrated their 5th wedding anniversary. They asked me to take some shots marking the occasion. And look--still in as much love as they were waaaay back then. ;) Enjoy your sneak peeks! More to come soon.

This first one is at an old jail. Fitting for the "old ball and chain", eh? I kid, I kid! ;)



And, Travis was saying something SUPER HILARIOUS right here. ;) Loved their interaction with one another. <3

Another beautiful day in Dallas. Another beautiful baby and family. This family is one of my "baby planners", meaning I get to hang out with them several times over the next year, documenting baby girl's growth along the way.

Sweet, baby Annie was a gorgeous newborn and just gets prettier and prettier each week! Gotta love those bright blue eyes, long reddish lashes, and melt your heart smile. Mom and Dad are pretty cute too! ;)

Enjoy your sneak peeks!

Dallas Family Photographer, Dallas Child Photographer: 4 ladies and their Prince Charming

It doesn't get any more "picture perfect" than this, folks. 70 degree weather...check. Gorgeous park...check. Amazing light...check. Ridiculously adorable family...check. A QUEEN...check!

I had the pleasure of hanging out with this Party of 5 on Sunday afternoon. And, wowsers. Such naturals in front of the camera! Take a look for your self.

Up first...the teenager. I guessed her age and was off by like 2 years. Umm...I was still shrimpy and awkward at 13. Yes, people. She's 13. Gorgeous, huh?


Next, the sweet middle child. Lover of all things Bakugan (because, I was informed that 7 year olds aren't really into princesses these days...I have a lot to learn). And, just as stunning as her older sister.


And then we have the little one...who wants to be the QUEEN. Or correction, who is the queen! Unlike her big sister, she is TOTALLY into princesses, which I know all about (my 3 year old would like for us to call her Cinderella). I fell in love with this girly girl's chipmunk cheeks and sweet demeanor.


Love this one of the 3 girls.


And of the whole fam. I told you...ridiculously adorable!


Hope you enjoy your sneak peeks!

Dallas Children's Photographer: Sneak Peek, Ran and Mads

I am blessed to have the best sister a girl could ask for. She is a loving and genuine person. She's an awesome mother. She's there when you need her and there when you don't. She is raising an absolutely darling, smart, beautiful and purely sugar sweet daughter.

She's also the goofiest photographer's assistant around. ;) As payment for her recent "act like a crazy person behind my camera for a day" routine, I did a little session with my sister and my amazing niece. Here are their sneak peeks!

Dallas family photographer, Dallas children's photographer: Mini-Sessions 2009 Sneak Peeks

What a fun day! My assistant (who also happens to be the most awesome sister out there...well, except for me :D), Randi, and I had an awesome day today with 5 adorable, hilarious and entertaining families. Seriously. I love uploading and editing these mini-sessions because I always find myself laughing or smiling just remembering all of the moments from a session. Take a look for yourself! And, mini-session participants--your galleries should ALL be ready before next weekend. Woo hoo! Be on the lookout for an email from yours truly. Now, on the main attraction(s)!

Dallas family photographer, Dallas baby photographer: Sneak Peek-D Family

You may remember this baby. Or not. Just a mere 4 months after this session, and the little man looks completely different! Well, he's still got the hair. :) I met up with the D Family this morning to capture their first of MANY "official" family photos. And a couple of Baby H and all his chunky monkey love! Enjoy your sneak peeks, D Family.

Dallas area photographer, McKinney children's photographer: Sneak Peek--L/S family

Whew! It's been a crazy, crazy, CRAZY few weeks. I am literally keeping the Starbucks near my house in business these days. So, it was totally fitting that I had some wild and crazy kids this morning (the good kind of wild and crazy...you know--life of the party, fun kind) AND that as their dad stopped in for some coffee this morning, one of the boys asked for coffee and to "Be sure it's decaf!" LOL! Too hysterical.

Anyway, I just adore this sweet group of kids. The baby boy was a little under the weather this morning and I'm sure we were QUITE a sight getting him to smile, but I think Nana and company will be happy with the results of our singing, dancing, and airplane flying. Enjoy your sneak peeks! More to come!

Dallas newborn photographer, Dallas baby photographer: Sneak Peek, Baby Annie

Yes. It's true. I *really* DO have clients who make the most BEAUTIFUL babies! Check out baby Annie. She's a little over a week old now and was so sweet. She slept like a champ once we turned on the heartbeat sound machine and space heater. We moved her all over and she didn't make a peep! Love that.

Here are your sneak peeks, Mom and Dad. Enjoy them and enjoy her while she's still so cuddly...she'll be running full steam ahead in no time. ;)

Dallas Family Photographer, Dallas Children's Photographer: Sneak Peek, T Family

Look at this cute family--handsome boys, good looking parents, perfectly coordinated (notice I said coordinated and NOT matching). Love it all! Had a great time this evening hanging with this Fab Four. Enjoy your sneak peeks!

Dallas newborn photographer, Dallas baby photographer: Sneak peek--Cooper

Warning! Cuteness overload ahead. Seriously. This family is beyond beautiful! I met them in their lovely home this morning to capture some images of their week old little guy and almost 3 year old. Cooper was wide awake for a lot of our session, but we waited it out and these sleepy shots were definitely worth it! And big brother--wow! I could just eat his sweetness up! He walked me to my car AND opened the door for me. I may have to set him and my 3-year-old up one of these days! ;)

Enjoy your sneak peek, A family. More to come...

Dallas family photographer, Dallas children's photographer: Sneak Peek, D Family

Phew! First off--a quick announcement. I am officially BOOKED for the 2009 holiday season. I will only be accepting newborn sessions for the remainder of 2009 (previously scheduled sessions excluded). Thanks so much for making 2009 the best ever for Kristie Clark Photography. I've enjoyed every minute!

Now, on to the sneak peek. This lovely mommy and I met when our precious 3 year olds were born. We belonged to the same baby board (though she was a few months ahead of me due date wise) and realized we lived in the same town. Life got in the way of us actually meeting until last year when we met up with me for a holiday mini-session. The D family has grown up so much in that year and we met up again for another holiday mini-session!

Thanks for being patient! Here are a couple of peeks. The one of the kids just cracks me up! Love the baby's face! :D

Dallas Children's Photographer, Dallas Child Portraits: Sneak Peek, R Family

Over the last 2 years (wow--2 years already), I've had the opportunity to meet all kinds of amazing and wonderful families. I love capturing these moments and I always leave my sessions feeling so good...even if the session was a tough one! But, I'll tell ya--nothing feels better as a photographer than when you have a client that keeps coming back or refers you to their friends over and over again. And the R family makes me feel AWESOME! This is my 6th session with the R Family! Wowza. Talk about loyalty. I <3 them! We had a fun time this morning capturing the classic holiday picture and then it was all about Miss R who turns 4 in December! Enjoy your sneak peek, R family!
