Sneak Preview: The Hofmann Family in the Studio

Give me two happy, energetic kids, and two relaxed parents, and I'll give you a fun-filled (if exhausting) morning in front of the camera.  Oh yes, and beautiful portraits as a result.  Nick, Jen, I hope you got your nap that day!

 

 

Thanks for looking, and have a beautiful day!

Sneak Preview: Seth and Sienna turn two!

Wow.  What an amazing day this family put together.  The cupcakes, the crafts, the blow-up animals strewn across the park.  And best of all, it was really a family affair.  They spent days together cooking, baking, and prepping.  These are some seriously lucky children.  And so fun to photograph!

Sneak Preview...Lilly with Pumpkins

Another fabulous photo session with Lilly.  I love this girl.  She is so real, so honest, and totally sweet.  I think it's great when she just wanders off during a photo session, to investigate something or other.  We both had the idea to do some shots in the white playhouse, and they are my favorites!  A totally different take on "pumpkin pictures".  Take a peek...

Thanks for peeking, and have a beautiful day!

Sneak Preview...Caroline and Nathan

About halfway through this session, Nathan realized I liked it when he smiled at me.  Oh, boy, did he smile.  You've never seen such a happy baby getting his picture taken.  I guess when I asked Caroline if she would teach Nathan how to be in pictures, she took her job seriously.  They were the stars of the pumpkin patch!  Seriously, people crowded around, watching them work their magic.

Sneak Preview...The Riley Family

Quite possibly the most gorgeous family ever. We spent a delightful afternoon in this pastoral green space in Highland Park, Megan's "home town". Lilly was brilliant, and so laid back. Take a peek...

Photo-worthy Children's Clothes

People are always asking me what to wear for their photos.  Most of my clients love a pulled-together look but don't want something cheesy or too matchy-matchy.  I am happy to say there is a new shop in Dallas with a gorgeous selection of hip, unique, "cheese-free" pieces for your photos.

At Little Bean, NYC transplant Christine Visneau has created a relaxed, peaceful space with handmade and vintage pieces you will adore.  You'll find boys and girls clothing for infants through size 8, as well as darling accessories and other fun things.

Christine is on-site most days sewing in the back room.  She will even whip up one of her designs with the vintage fabric of your choice!  The shop is right next to the Garden Cafe (the two together make for a lovely lunch break!). 

A few fall pieces:

Lily in the Garden

This girl is so cool.  She could tell me the names of most of the plants in her gorgeous garden, as well as the habits of most of the creepy critters.  Very observant.  And it didn't take her long to let loose and SPIN!

 

  

I love how she is glowing in this last one!  Lily, you are a joy to work with.

The Olive and the Toothpick

They are a rare breed:  the women who make pregnancy look easy.  Those super-fit ladies who stay slim all nine months, and who, from the back, look nineteen years old.  Then they turn to the side, and it's an olive on a toothpick!  My latest maternity client had a shape like this, and she was fearless.  She gave me the artistic freedom to try lots of ideas that had been "gestating" for a while.  Here are a few of my favorites...

A New Season

Welcome to my Candace Moss Photography blog! 

This is a big day for me.  Our girls are settled back in school, I'm overcoming my fear of blogging, AND I have a new business partner.  My dear friend Sarah is now on board, and we are ready to roll.  Candace Moss Photography is about to soar to new artistic heights. 

We have a lot going on this season, from Pupmkins to Christmas trees, with many fun, elegant photo sessions in between.  My goal is to blog at least once a week with new images, helpful photo tips, and upcoming events.  There will also be promotions that happen only through these postings, so "turn your ears on", as I tell our girls.

In honor of a fresh start and a new season, I'm posting my new favorite newborn image. This is Blain Marie. She was so calm, cooperative, and downright mature for a 5 week-old. Can you see her pondering the meaning of life as she gazes out the window?

Thanks for reading.  Have a beautiful day.
