First Photo Shoot...as the Photographer! :)

So my wonderful husband purchased a FANTASTIC camera for me as my Christmas/birthday gift last year and I'm finally testing my skills.

I mentioned to my friends and co-workers that I would be happy to snap some shots for them if they ever needed any. Lucky for me, Matt (both my friend AND co-worker) and his wife, Ginny, decided to give me a shot and asked for me to photograph their super-cute daughter, Matelyn!

Chris and I joined Matt, Ginny and Mattie at the Dallas Arboretum on Saturday, March 21st. I was SO nervous because I had never photographed anyone before. And, like any photo, I wanted to make sure to capture this time in Mattie's life as best as I could.

My fears were instantly erased when Mattie began to smile. This girl is a natural model!!! I couldn't have asked for a better first shoot, honestly. Matelyn was so smiley and happy, she made my job a piece of cake! I'm so thankful that Matt and Ginny trusted me enough to capture their daughter's six (although, by the time the weather was nice enough to take pictures it ended up being her seven) month photos! Chris (the assistant TO THE photographer) and I had a great time and can't wait to take more pictures of Mattie in the future. :)

Below are a few of my favorites:
