{anticipation} Dallas Fort Worth Children’s Lifestyle Photographer - Courtney Leigh Photography

When you’re expecting baby number 2, the last few days you have with your first baby are so precious.  There’s a part of you that knows that, for your little family of three, things are about to get very different.  Good different, joyful different, so-incredibly-blessed-different, but different none-the-less.

With this in mind, I met with my favorite little red-headed baby planner last week.  She’s going to be a big sister very soon and we wanted to capture her sweet, crazy, funny, stubborn, cuddly, playful, almost-two-year-old little self a bit before the big arrival.  She has grown so much and is full of so much personality!  We let her take the lead and I think what we ended up with was a gorgeous session showcasing an amazing family who is about to get a little bigger.  This is what Lifestyle Photography is all about…making Art out of Life.

{play time!} Dallas Fort Worth Children’s Photographer - Courtney Leigh Photography

I spent the morning with this sweetie pie last week and had so a blast!  There’s a lot of personality in this little 19 month old and he gave it all he had!  First we played in his room a bit and he showed me all his favorite toys…

{magical times} Dallas Fort Worth Children’s Photographer - Courtney Leigh Photography

As I sit here contemplating oil spill and 100 degree temperatures in June, I am reminded of a special evening not long a go, when the air was still crisp, but held with it a hope of  sunshine of the season to come.  Inspired by this promise of warm, lazy days, we grabbed our bug catchers and embarked on a spur-of-the-moment-after-dinner-nature-expedition.  And then magic happened.
