Cake Smash and Lollipops | Children's portrait photographer

I love 1st birthday cake smashes!  This little guy was part of my "Baby's 1st year" program that includes 3 sessions during baby's 1st year of life, the last session at 12 months has a cake smash option.  If you are interested in booking a session like this send me an e-mail at robinkelmphotography@gmail.com 

Mom had a great idea for her daughter to join the fun, a colorful lollipop!  I love all her adorable expressions.

Roses in Bloom | Flower Mound, TX Photographer

When I was a little girl we lived next door to Eloise and Bill, an older couple who took me in as their extra grandchild.  All of my grandparents lived out of state so it was nice to have them around.  One Summer when I was around the age of 5 or 6, they planted an oak tree the same height as me and took a photo of me standing next to it.  Of course the oak tree quickly out grew me.  Eloise would take me to her backyard where she grew beautiful roses.  I would walk around and sniff each bloom while she tended to them.  I decided then that when I grew up I would grow beautiful roses in my yard too.  Well I made that dream come true after I graduated college, first in containers until I owned my 1st home.  When my husband and I first married and bought our home that was my 1st priority, to build a rose garden.  I now grow over 25 roses, here are a few blooming this Spring.

I Heart Faces Photo Challenge "Soft and Sweet" | Flower Mound/Lewisville area child photographer

This weeks theme is "Soft and Sweet" for I Heart Faces photo challenge.  This shot came to my mind immediately, it's of my daughter taken in March for her 2nd birthday portraits.  I usually prefer crisp and bright colors but I fell in love with the softness of this shot and applied a different processing to it.

8 Days New! | DFW Newborn Photographer

You might remember this family from their maternity portraits a few weeks ago, now their newest addition has arrived!  Look at their sweet baby boy, he was quite alert for a majority of the session but finally fell asleep for us to capture peaceful sleeping newborn portraits.  

He's a handsome little fellow!

Look what the Easter Bunny brought!

Adorable siblings, I can tell these 3 will be close growing up.

Check out his precious smile!
