{studio news} Dallas Fort Worth Child Child Photographer – Courtney Leigh Photography

This summer is flying by and it’s going to be the Fourth before we know it!  I just wanted to update everyone on the session status as of right now and show off some amazing new products we are going to be offering.

First:  With the exception of newborn sessions, the CLP calendar is full for the summer!  If you are expecting a newborn in the next few months, please contact us as soon as possible to assure availability.

Second:  As crazy as it sounds, we are now booking for September and holiday sessions.  I know it’s hard to even think about holiday pictures with the 100+ weather we’re having, so for inspiration, we are running a Holiday Special through the month of July.  Book a standard session in July for the month of September and receive a complimentary set of holiday cards as our gift. We hope this might put a little spring in your step while you’re relaxing poolside!

Last:  We have been busy busy searching for the best and newest products for our stylish and hip clients.  I’m excited to introduce our newest find…The new ART BOOK.  The ART BOOK is a 9×9 album with the images beautifully printed flush onto the pages.  Each album is custom designed by CLP and is a fantastically modern way to display and preserve your session images.   I snapped a few pics of our studio sample so you can witness its yumminess for yourselves!

Enjoy and stay tuned for more new product pics soon!

{six months of red-headed sweetness} Dallas Fort Worth Children Photographer – Courtney Leigh Photography

Ohhh… how I adore watching Baby Plan clients grow!!  Little Miss A is turning into such a biggie girl.  Full of claps and giggles and this girl’s on the move!  We got her to slow down just long enough to capture all her sweetness…and that beautiful head or red hair!  She’s down-right stunning!

{Happy Dad’s Day!} Dallas Fort Worth Child Photographer – Courtney Leigh Photography

I hope all the dad’s are having a fantastic dad’s day today!  I’m sure many of you spent your morning like we did…pancake breakfast in jammies, opening cards and climbing on daddy!  Only difference is, when you’re married to a photographer, you have to make your own pancakes because your wife has a camera in her hands!  Jonathan made some darn good pancakes, I must say!  Happy Father’s Day to all you wonderful dads!

it stinks that this one is so grainy and E is blurry…and it’s really really grainy…did I say that already?!  BUT I love the looks on Jonathan and Jon David’s faces…so in awe of the girly-girl!  And that’s what it’s all about anyway, right?

There must be something infintely comforting about having your lovey, your thumb and your daddy’s shoulder to rest upon.

{sisters} Dallas Fort Worth Lifestyle Photographer – Courtney Leigh Photography

As all parents know, when it comes to something like a photo session, the ultimate success of the day is really at the hands of the children.  After all, kids can’t fake happy!  So, I always walk into a session with young children with a priority list of shots the client is looking for.  We start from the top and work our way down in case the little ones fizzle out on us early, at least we got the top priority shots taken care of.  However, sometimes babies will decide a session is over before we’re able to get every shot we wanted.   Which was the case at our last “Tea Party” session.

Our main goal was to get a lot of family lifestyle images and we were wildly successful at this endeavor.  But what mom and dad don’t want some individual shots of their sweet darlings?  Well, Miss G and Baby M had other plans for that day, so we scheduled a follow up mini session for yesterday morning and I’m so glad we did.  This time, we were rewarded with beautiful smiles, delighted eyes and precious images!  Don’t you agree?

{tea party} Dallas Fort Worth Lifestyle Photographer – Courtney Leigh Photography

I had a fantastic time Saturday morning with this precious family of 4…going on 5!  When talking with mom before the session she told me how much her girls love to play tea party.  So we had the brilliant idea to set up a tea party for them outside and just let them do their thing.  And boy did they!  We were treated to all kinds of yummy treats, tea and coffee.  Miss G and Miss M were quite  gracious little hostesses!

While we were at this beautiful location, we made sure to capture some special images of this growing family all together during this precious time in their family’s life.  The anticipation of a new baby is such an exciting, but fleeting time.  Before they know it, they will be a family of five making new memories together as they grow.   I was honored to be able to record this moment in time for this sweet family!

C Family – it was so great to meet you all!  Enjoy your sneak peek – you’ve been so patiently waiting, I know! :)
