Christmas Tree Farm Magic 2020

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Thu, 17 Dec 2020 16:50:51 GMT

Happy Holidays Everyone! I cannot believe it is already coming up to the end of the year, and we are just one week out from Christmas Eve! Luckily all this super cold weather is putting me in the holiday mood and hope it is doing the same for you! I was just telling our two year old this morning to enjoy this cold 30 degree weather, because Houston really doesn't get any colder than this! Luckily he now understands cold=must wear a jacket, so it is now all just part of the drill!

This year I had 3 completely full dates at the Christmas Tree Farm and every single date had amazing weather! We got so lucky!! I loved welcoming back all my repeat clients plus meeting all the new families that chose me to capture them this year! You guys all looked incredible and I know we got some picture-perfect shots!! Here are some from this year's tree farm, enjoy!!

Baby girl is turning 2!

It was so much fun meeting this sweet family of 3 this month and capturing Baby K turning 2! It definitely gets all my momma feelings churning as my own little guy turns two in less than 2 months! Yikes! Time really does fly! Sweet baby K gave me so many smiles and had such an adorable personality that was a true pleasure to capture! Enjoy!

From bump to ONE!

I had the pleasure of meeting this little guy's sweet mama and dad when they were pregnant with him! We had a gorgeous maternity session, and I was so excited when they reached out to do a special one year old milestone session for Baby S! Looking at the dates again, we actually did this session almost a year to the day after their maternity session! Baby S is such a happy little guy, and already such a great walker! Thank you guys again for choosing me to capture these special memories!!

Bluebonnet Minis

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Tue, 28 Apr 2020 21:00:00 GMT

This year the Bluebonnets were just absolutely gorgeous! They bloomed slightly sooner this year, and I am so glad we were able to get our minis completed before the stay-at-home order. All my families this year looked so perfect, from the outfit choices to the super cute smiles, they rocked these! I did have 5 families this year that elected to not have their photos shared on my portfolio or on social media, so here are the ones that said yes! Too cute!

First up, these two sweet girls in their adorable blue dresses! I absolutely love meeting new families and it was such a joy to work with their mama! You can just tell she did such an amazing job coordinating everyone's outfits!

Next up, we have Baby S who is 6 months of pure cuteness! He has the sweetest dimples and I was so happy he was all smiles that morning! Again, killing it with these outfits you guys!

Moving onto my set of evening weekend sessions...Y'all these two were so perfect in their little smocked dresses! This year was my first year using this new white rocking chair, and let me tell you it was a huge hit among the kiddos! It's the same way at the library near us, toddler sees perfect sized rocker...must sit in it immediately ha! Also, Houston is hilarious, cloudy all week, and then bam full sun for sunset!! Thank you for trusting me with your Bluebonnet memories this year S Family!

I loved being able to capture sweet L and her parents again for this gorgeous sunset! It's hard to believe that in just a few months she is going to graduate to big sister!! Oh the wonderful surprises that await you, little one <3

And last but not least, here was my last day of Bluebonnet Minis (before the stay-at-home)! I was able to grab the sweetest Mommy & Me shot there right at the end...I just love how they are surrounded by our state's gorgeous flowers! Also, this little guy has a big and exciting year ahead of him--he graduates to big brother later this fall! Congratulations again C Family!

Baby N Coming Later this Year!

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Mon, 27 Apr 2020 14:00:00 GMT

I had so much fun capturing this sweet couple and their adorable labrador for a family session/pregnancy announcement earlier this year! And then just shortly after the session, they closed on a home...in my neighborhood! So not only are these two the cutest and super nice, we are now basically neighbors!! Congratulations again you guys on Baby N this fall!!

Simple Studio Maternity Session

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Fri, 24 Apr 2020 20:32:32 GMT

I cannot believe how much time has already passed, and this sweet mama has already had her adorable baby girl a few weeks ago! I was thrilled when she reached out to me at the beginning of the year for a simple studio maternity session, with a lot of black and white options! This is just beautiful you guys. I kind of wish I had known about this gorgeous style of maternity when I was pregnant! It is so nice to be inside, with the A/C, and a simple yet stunning long sleeved bodysuit. I also talked her into bringing a long flowy skirt to change things up a bit--and it turned out fabulous! This mama rocked these poses!!

Baby S Newborn Session

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Mon, 20 Apr 2020 21:15:00 GMT

This family is near and dear to me, as I have been capturing them since mama was pregnant with big brother! Fast forward two years later, and baby sister has arrived! It was so much fun to be welcomed back into their home within 2 years for another newborn session, this time all things girl! Big brother was totally enamored with his baby sister, and kept one eye on me the entire time I was holding her!

"A" Family Maternity Session

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Fri, 17 Apr 2020 16:30:00 GMT

I can't wait to get back to capturing your newest little ones in your home, but in the meantime here are some gorgeous shots from one of the last maternity sessions I did before the stay-at-home order! Congratulations A family on your new arrival!

Valentine's Day Studio Minis

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Thu, 16 Apr 2020 21:00:00 GMT

Hey I'm getting there!! Slowly but surely getting caught up on sharing all these gorgeous photos that I was completely behind on blogging about! I had so much fun this year at our annual Valentine's Day / Studio Minis. I love providing my families the option of either a traditional seasonal backdrop or a classic and timeless all-white option! Thank you to all who came out this year, you guys totally rocked your mini session!

First up, this perfect family that I have had the pleasure of capturing since before baby brother was born! It always amazes me how fast they grow, and I notice it more than most, seeing my families only semi annually or annually! It was wonderful seeing you guys again!!

I absolutely love getting to meet new families, and it's even more fun when you find out you are basically neighbors! Meet Baby S, and his gorgeous mama!

Then we have these two cuties who are about to turn 5!! I love capturing their sister bond, made even more special for the fact that they are twins!

Last but not least we have this very cute sibling duo! These two were so perfect and did everything I asked them to so politely, such sweethearts! I am so sad that they just moved out of state last month--I am going to miss you guys!!

Baby C Turns One!

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Wed, 15 Apr 2020 22:04:08 GMT

I love being able to capture these special milestone moments for my families! Baby C was turning the big O-N-E so we definitely needed a session to capture it all. Mom wanted to use a white rocker (and this was before I got mine this year) so we borrowed one from my photographer friend, Lydia with Lily June Photography! Baby C was in love, she gave the biggest smiles when she was in this rocking chair! It was bit chilly this January morning, but Baby C totally rocked her session anyway!

N Family Session

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Tue, 14 Apr 2020 21:00:00 GMT

I love knit baby beanie hats. They are so cute and make for the best pictures! I was so excited when momma brought out one for baby girl to wear at the end of the session, and since it was kind of a chilly day I don't think she minded it either! We had so much fun exploring this park and scoping out different spots for their family session! One of my favorite spots was a large oak (?) tree that was dipping its branches to the lake, and the scene it made was just so picturesque that I felt like it was straight out of the Notebook or something!

D Family Session

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Mon, 13 Apr 2020 21:00:00 GMT

I always love meeting new families and this time was no different! I had so much fun capturing this sweet family! Or as their toddler would refer to it, exploring! We walked all around this beautiful location, looking for squirrels, and stopping every few minutes for a quick shot! It was so chilly too this evening, but everyone braved the cold and still had the best of smiles!

G Family Session

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Fri, 10 Apr 2020 20:30:00 GMT

I always love capturing this very sweet family! It was made so special this past winter when we were able to do a session that captured all the family that came to visit for the holidays! You can just see how much A loves her grandparents, and she had so much fun smiling for the camera! Times like these make me really hope for safe travel to be able to resume again soon!

Baby C Cake Smash

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Thu, 09 Apr 2020 21:00:00 GMT

I had so much fun capturing sweet Baby C for her cake smash on an uncharacteristically warm day this past winter! I love when we get random warm days just for the fact that the babies then love the washtub at the end! Granted, I have had a few in the past that it was too cold and we had to forgo that part, so it always nice when we can go ahead and do it! Baby C was all about those bubbles there at the end, and they turned out to be some of Mom's favorites! So fun!

H Family Session - January

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Wed, 08 Apr 2020 15:00:00 GMT

When this sweet mama asked to schedule a family session in honor of her youngest turning 1, I was so excited! She wanted a traditional full family session, but asked if it would be ok to bring her baby boy's lamb rocker for a shot or two! Too cute! Yes please, I love when families want to bring their own props for us to incorporate! It really makes your session pop and adds that little extra something to make it stand out creatively!

Baby J - In Home Newborn Session

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Tue, 07 Apr 2020 15:00:00 GMT

There is nothing like a brand new baby to complete a family! Mom and Dad were so easy to work with, and baby J was just a dream! I love that we were able to do some shots with the fur-siblings (both dog AND cat)! It is always so much fun for me to incorporate something special to your family, for instance at this session Dad wanted me to do a themed shot for the Chicago Cubs baseball team! Just perfect!

S Family Session - January

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Mon, 06 Apr 2020 18:51:29 GMT

I have loved capturing this sweet family over the years! It really is amazing watching the kiddos grow up and change so much each year! This session was so special since the grandma's from both sides were able to join in. These boys LOVE their grandmas! They also love to run, so they did so the entire session, which was actually perfect since some of the best smiles are capturing when they are running as fast as they possibly can!

Vintage Truck Minis

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Sun, 22 Dec 2019 15:00:00 GMT

You guys!! I am a total sucker for vintage cars. When I was 16 all I wanted was a vintage mustang but my parents convinced me to get something a little newer ha! But ever since I have had a love for old restored vehicles, so when I heard that the owner of this truck was going to start renting for photo sessions I was like sign me up! This gorgeous green 1955 Ford F100 was restored by his dad up north, then they decided that his son was going to take it and store it here! Lucky for us! The best part is that the owner was all about letting the kiddos sit in the driver's seat (while it was parked and turned off) and they loved that! Some of my favorite images are from that angle!

First up, this gorgeous family! Big sis decided the cat ears had to come, and I think they are so perfect and adorable! I love the little details like that that really show their personality!

Next up we have this perfect sibling duo! Little brother had the cutest bow tie, and he brought a matching green toy truck too! Such fun little details!

These three babies have my heart form this day of minis! Fun little backstory, I met this mama through the same rescue organization we adopted our two golden retrievers from! These two goldens did such a good job looking at the camera! And of course big brother was a rockstar!

This little guy just turned 2! How does time fly so fast?! I love that Mom wanted these for his 2 year old pictures, Baby C had a blast! His favorite was sitting in the driver's seat, and when it was time to go he kept asking to get back in! That's something that is so special about restored vintage cars, it allows the younger generation a chance to fall in love with them too!

This sweet family is another that has been with me for a few years, which is so special that I get to watch their little guy grow up! He is tall just like his Daddy! We also got some sweet Mommy & Me shots in too--which I believe is so important to capture when if at all possible!

Last but not least, this gorgeous family in matching bear PJs! This little cutie is already 3--hard to believe! You can definitely see his personality shining during this session, so much fun!

PJ Minis

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Sat, 21 Dec 2019 15:00:00 GMT

Happy Saturday! I wanted to share with you all my adorable PJ Minis this year! We went to the Houston Rental Studio and made some beautiful holiday memories with a giant wreath and your very cute family pjs! I loved doing these at this studio, so stay tuned, I am working on something awesome with this space in February!

First up, this sweet family of 3 and Baby L who has gotten so big! I've loved capturing these guys since his newborn session, and it's especially fun seeing how much they change and grow over the years! Outfit cuteness brought to you by Mom + Burt's Bees

Next up we have this gorgeous family! These are two of the sweetest siblings you ever did see; they totally rocked this session! At the end, big sis was showing me some of her dance moves, and boy she is fantastic!!

I always have a blast with these two! I love photographing sisters, and it's even more fun to photograph twins! By the way, did you know it was National Twins Day this past week?? Mom had their PJ tops monogrammed with their names and it was the cutest!

This next family showed up in matching black and white plaid and it was the absolute best! Big smiles all around, and my favorite--they always ask for a goofy photo at the end, and we made sure to make that happen!

Last but not least are these adorable sisters in their matching PJs with their sweet dolls! I love when families bring in special props or loveys, and these girls and their American Girl dolls were oh so cute!

Christmas Tree Farm 11/23

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Fri, 20 Dec 2019 20:05:50 GMT

You asked, I delivered! So many of you were wanting another tree farm date this year so it ended up working out for me to add another one! Which ended up turning out beautifully, with perfect cool weather and a gorgeous sunset! I had so much fun at all three Christmas Tree Farm dates this year. There is a reason I will continue to go back, and that is perfectly evident in these beautiful photos! You guys all rocked your sessions and the tree farm showed up too, looking magical as always! It's always up to you if you would prefer I do not share images of your kiddos online, so there were a total of 7 families on 11/23 and here are 4 that said yes to sharing!

First up, this fun and loving Mommy Son duo! He was probably the oldest that visited me at the tree farm, and that was apparent when I could capture him leaping over one of the 4 foot trees! Amazing!

Next is this little cutie who brought her Christmas Llama to the tree farm! It was perfect! Anyone else's kids a fan of Llama Llama? My son loves the holiday ones!!

I have loved capturing this sweet family and these girls for the past couple of years now, and it's so much fun and crazy to see how fast time flies! I know people say kids grow so fast, and it's definitely something I realize so much more as a mom now!

Last but not least, this gorgeous family who I was so excited to meet this year! Thank you guys for choosing me to capture your holiday memories! Aren't these outfits amazing too?!

Christmas Tree Farm 11/17

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Thu, 12 Dec 2019 21:50:47 GMT

Can you guys believe it is less than 2 weeks until Christmas?! Time has really flown by this season! I've been working hard to get everyone their pictures in time to make holiday cards, and now I'm playing catch up on my blog posts hah! This was my second Christmas Tree Farm date this season, and it was extra fun with the cool breeze and cloud cover--which makes it much easier to see all the trees! I'm all for those sunny days, but truly it is easier to see the expanse of Christmas trees without it! I got so lucky this year that each of my mini dates had nice and chilly weather...in the years past I've done this tree farm date in 95 degrees and we were all sweating buckets! So thanking my lucky stars that we had perfect weather, cloud cover, and the magic of the tree farm to make these pictures absolutely gorgeous. Enjoy!

First up we have this cutie who is already 2! Where has the time gone?! I've loved capturing you and your sweet family since you were just a baby!! And this time I got to meet their adorable furbaby, Lola! Thank you for always bringing the best smiles, E!

Next we have this beautiful family of 4, and we just captured Baby P at her 6 month milestone session the day before! Luckily it was not nearly as chilly at the tree farm this weekend, so smiles and fun all around! These sisters have such a fun and loving bond that I've been so lucky to have been able to capture since Baby P's newborn session!

These cuties ran over to me full of energy and ready to start their session, and I loved every minute of it! Thank you guys for trusting me to capture your holiday memories again this year!!

I absolutely love meeting new families! You three were oh so cute, and little L's pigtail buns were adorable! Thank you guys again for choosing me to capture your holiday memories!!

This cutie is getting to be so big, and to think that he will be turning 2 in December! Fun fact, this little guy came to my tree farm session before he turned 2, and then after his birthday came to my vintage truck minis to have his 2 year old pictures! Perfect timing!

Green and gold oh my! Such gorgeous outfit combinations, this sweet family looked perfect!! Always loads of fun capturing this gorgeous family of 4! And an even sweeter surprise, big sister was celebrating her birthday that day too!

Last but not least, this pretty little 10 month old came to see me! Baby C, thank you for all the adorable smiles!! I was so glad it worked out for you guys to make it for my tree farm sessions, and then of course totally rocked it!

Thank you to all who came to this year's Christmas Tree Farm Sessions! -Kristin

Christmas Tree Farm 10/27

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Fri, 22 Nov 2019 15:00:00 GMT

Well, in the past I have only done one day of Christmas Tree Farm minis, but this year I decided I would offer you guys two dates! And guess what? Those sold out so quickly I had people asking for a 3rd! So, we did it haha! With two days of tree farm minis behind us and one more to go, it is always such a magical experience being out and amongst live Christmas Trees around the holidays! Whether it be sunny or overcast, the photos always turn out wonderful and really add that extra sparkle to your holiday cards! Here are some beautiful shots from the first day of tree farm sessions, back on Oct. 27th!

This first family was all smiles as these were their first family photos as a family of three! Baby H was loving every minute, and a dream to photograph! Thank you guys for choosing me, and driving all the way there!

Next we have this gorgeous family with their newest addition, Baby O! Last holiday season they were pregnant and ready to welcome baby sister in the new year, and it was so much fun to get to meet her!

I was so happy to capture this gorgeous family of 3 again, and Baby J who is already a one year old! Where does time go?! I loved meeting this sweet family earlier this year during Bluebonnets season, and was thrilled to see them again at the tree farm.

I love meeting new families! These two siblings remind me of my brother and I, just a little rowdy with some sweetness thrown in! When I asked them if they wanted to race at the end, they were so excited and ready to see who would win! Makes for such cute photos!!

I couldn't even handle all the cuteness from this little one and her pigtails! Baby E you are such a sweetheart! It was such a fun connection too, her momma used to work with my sister-in-law, and that's how they found me! Such a small world!

Last but not least is this beautiful family who I've had the pleasure of capturing since Mama's maternity session with this little guy! Baby D - you always bring the best smiles!

Thank you all for joining me at the Christmas Tree Farm this year!

-Kristin

Fall Minis 2019

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Thu, 21 Nov 2019 21:22:17 GMT

Thank you all for a wonderful start to this year's holiday minis! We got lucky and had a gorgeous and rare chilly day, with a clear sunset. All in all it was not "cold" but with a nice breeze to help everyone not get too warm! We used this pretty field with tall grass, and I am sad to say that it was mowed just days after! Luckily we were able to get in and get these beautiful shots! It was so much fun seeing all of my repeat families, and new ones too! Thank you guys for choosing Kristin Silliman Photography to capture your holiday memories this year!

First up, this sweet family of 5...their youngest are boy/girl twins and were oh so cute! Mom did amazing with the coordinating outfits too--perfect for that fall look!

Next up is this gorgeous family and mama-friend! Their younger daughter was born just one day after our own little guy! These sweet sisters always give me lots of laughs during our sessions -- love them! I also adore their yellow dresses with these fall-themed photos, they are perfect!

I love meeting new families! Thank you guys for choosing me to do your fall pictures! Baby L was the cutest, and gave me all the grins! I also later found out these guys are also huge Star Wars fans, can't wait to nerd out together next time!

Last but not least is this amazing family who I've been able to capture for the past few years now! Thank you guys for trusting me with your holiday memories! With matching fur vests, and cute smiles had by all, this family was picture-perfect!

Thank you everyone, and happy holidays!!

-Kristin

It's Baby A's "Berry" First Birthday!

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Mon, 04 Nov 2019 16:00:00 GMT

I have loved seeing this sweet family each year and watching their family grow! It is hard to believe how fast time flies, and now Baby A just turned ONE! Cute as a button, she was a rockstar during her cake smash! We finished the session with a berry bath, and it was perfect since her birthday party is berry-themed! Happy Birthday, Baby A!

Nashville: Travel Session!

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Fri, 01 Nov 2019 14:00:00 GMT

Sometimes you have to fly north in order to find true fall colors, and it just so happened that we were already headed to Nashville for hubby's reunion! I was thrilled when our long-time friends Jake and Kelly asked me to capture their sweet family of three while we were both there! TN did not disappoint! We had crisp autumn morning air with pretty fall colors...all which make me want to move there asap! But for now, I can just stare dreamily at these photos...enjoy!

Baby Sister is on her way!

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Wed, 30 Oct 2019 15:00:00 GMT

I had so much fun meeting this sweet family, who are excited to welcome Baby Girl #2 in December! Big Sister had the most infectious grin and you just can't help but smiling with her! Her favorite Mickey Mouse came along on our maternity photo session with us, but he agreed to sit out on some of the photos. Congrats you guys!

Bubbles galore for this cutie 2 year old!

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Tue, 29 Oct 2019 19:21:56 GMT

It was so much fun seeing this sweet family again and capturing Miss M's 2nd Year Miletone! We celebrated with lots of bubbles and then proceeding to try and fist bump the bubbles to pop! We started off with some gorgeous holiday themed family shots, and after a quick outfit change, out comes the bubble machine! I do have to give some credit to the airplane that flew by for the adorable looking up shots though! Enjoy!

Popsicle Smash...I am ONE!

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Mon, 07 Oct 2019 19:26:38 GMT

I had the pleasure of capturing Baby R and her sweet family for her One Year Session...and she smashed some popsicles! It is always fun when parents ask if we can do something other than cake--especially when you know your little one will truly love it! Houston heat and all, these popsicles were the perfect start to a fun morning! I love watching little ones grow up, and it was equally special that we did Baby R's one year session at the same location that we captured her family's maternity session! From bump to baby, it has been my pleasure to capture your sweet milestone moments! One of the best parts was during her washtub bath at the end, Baby R waved at all the passing people! Such a cutie!

The Summer of Brothers

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Mon, 23 Sep 2019 15:00:00 GMT

I had so much working with this fun family again! This time, we captured the 7 of them the week before the oldest went off to college! I asked the brothers how the felt about it, and it sounds like they will miss him, though a little disgruntled no one gets to take over his room ha! As a boy mom myself it is a lot of fun to see these brothers interact in their own way. You can definitely see that brotherly love all around!

To the Moon and The Stars Little Brother

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Fri, 20 Sep 2019 14:00:00 GMT

I had so much fun capturing this sweet family and their newest arrival, Baby I! At just 8 days new, cute as can be, he slept like a champ through the entire session! Big sister was very excited to tell me all about his teeth and when they will grow in. You can just tell these two are going to have such fun adventures growing up together! And super fun, baby boy was sporting this handmade newborn sleepy cap from Grandma! Enjoy!

A Fairytale Maternity Session

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Mon, 12 Aug 2019 20:59:49 GMT

I had the pleasure of capturing this lovely mama's maternity session just a few weeks before Baby S made his arrival! The evening had originally forecasted rain, but we were so lucky to experience instead a gorgeous and perfect sunset, with a wonderful breeze that was my perfect assistant haha! With the sun setting in the background, the breeze moving mama's dress, this session was truly magical and looked to be right out of a fairytale. I was so happy to be able to fit them in before baby boy's arrival and capture these two before becoming a family of 3! Enjoy!

Styled Family Session

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Mon, 29 Jul 2019 14:00:00 GMT

Hope everyone is having a good summer so far! Hard to believe that fall is around the corner, especially with the temperatures these days! We had a gorgeous day a couple of weeks ago that I captured this sweet family for a styled family session. These sessions include dress recommendations, and a hair & makeup artist gives you a gorgeous look beforehand! We planned the outfits centered around Baby M's little romper, and everything came together so well! It was so much fun meeting Baby M at her newborn session last year, and it's so hard to believe it has already been 7 months! This family totally rocked this session and looked amazing! Enjoy!

Baby R's Spaghetti Smash

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Fri, 31 May 2019 14:45:00 GMT

What do you do when your kiddo isn't too excited about cake? You let him smash something he IS excited about! Spaghetti! I have loved photographing this little one's family and extended family, so when it came time for Baby R to turn one, a Spaghetti Smash it is! I am so glad Mom trusted me with this idea, and it was clearly a favorite for Baby R! We finished the smash with a washtub bath, and I think it is hard to say which he enjoyed more!

Semiannual Frilly Frock Shootout

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Thu, 30 May 2019 16:00:00 GMT

Hi All! This year must be the year for shootouts! I had the chance to participate in (and actually model with my little one) at a Motherhood Event mid-may, and before that I was selected to attend the Semiannual Frilly Frocks Shootout styled and organized by Barberries Photography! For those of you that are unfamiliar with Frilly Frocks, it is a girl's childrens' clothing line of beautiful and timeless outfits with many frills and gorgeous delicate details. To check it out, here is their site: http://frillyfrocks.us/
If our next kiddo is a girl (many many many years down the road) we will certainly be in trouble--as everything is just precious and perfect as a doll! The shootout I attended had many models ages 6 months-12 years old wearing different Frilly Frocks outfits, and posing with gorgeous props provided by Barberries Photography. I had so much fun letting my creative side flow and capturing these little cuties! Enjoy!

Mommy & Me

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Wed, 29 May 2019 15:00:00 GMT

I had so much fun at my first Mommy & Me event this year! Located at the gorgeous The Creative Chateau, I got to capture some beautiful mommas with their little ones! Flower crowns locally made by Ava's Flower Crowns. Style guide provided by Kristin Silliman Photography. Here are some sneaks below!

Baby A Turns One!

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Tue, 28 May 2019 15:00:00 GMT

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend! I am so excited to share Baby A's cake smash session: gorgeous morning light, plus the perfectly styled clothing color palette by Mom, made for the most beautiful one year old session photos! Baby A is one and she is all smiles about it! Houston rain had us moving this session more times than we had wanted to, but the day that finally worked to do it made it all worth it! Mom even brought the cutest pink tutu for Baby A's cake smash, and she rocked it! Enjoy!

May the Force be with you, always

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Fri, 24 May 2019 14:00:00 GMT

Cue John Williams Star Wars A New Hope "Main Title"...can you hear it? That recognizable and catchy tune was stuck in my head the entire time I edited this gallery! When Mom reached out to me with a May the Fourth Be With You announcement idea, and mentioned that she had all the Leia props, I was instantly sold (watch out guys--the Star Wars nerd inside of me is coming out!) Star Wars aside, it was so much fun capturing sweet Baby C, Mom and Dad! This little girl was definitely one of the cutest little bunnies out there, enjoy!

Little Aggie Ready For Football Season!

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Thu, 23 May 2019 15:33:12 GMT

I feel like 2018 was the year of baby boys, I had so many boy newborns, and now 2019 is the year of girls! Say hello to Baby P who is as cute as can be! Big Sister M was so sweet with her and loved touching her head and giving out kisses. These two are just barely 2 years apart and you can just tell they are going to be super close. Both Mom and Dad went to Texas A&M so when they asked me to incorporate that into a pose it came together so perfectly! Baby P looks pretty cute in maroon, whoop!

And Baby Girl makes 3!

It was so much fun working with this sweet new mama and dad, capturing this new chapter in their lives as they welcome Baby Girl B! I've known these guys for over a year now and seeing their family grow gives me all those warm and fuzzy new baby feels! Baby B is as cute as can be at 9 days new, and totally rocked her newborn session. I loved incorporating all of Mama's ideas and fun color scheme--isn't mustard yellow just totally her color?! It was so much fun going through all of the images, and such a wonderful surprise to see how many baby grins there were! It's not every day you capture a baby smiling during their newborn session, and Baby B snuck in a few there at the end! Enjoy!

The best little sister has arrived!

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Tue, 26 Mar 2019 14:00:00 GMT

I had the pleasure of meeting not one, but two baby girls over the weekend! The first newborn is a much-loved little sister and fits so perfectly in with a large family that loves her very much! Big sister was proud to tell me all about her, and was a total champ during the entire photo session. One of my favorite details was new matching Big & Lil Sis silver necklaces...Big Sis was already proudly wearing hers! Enjoy!

A dreamy family session

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Fri, 22 Mar 2019 14:00:00 GMT

I'm not going to try to hide it...that 6-8 month age is my absolute favorite to capture! Babies this age have no fear, and are just so smiley! It is so much fun meeting new families and capturing this sweet moment in their lives, and I am so grateful that I get to witness it! Enjoy!

Wild One!

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Mon, 11 Mar 2019 14:00:00 GMT

This little cutie is One! We celebrated by bringing all his little friends to the woods for a very sweet teepee shoot! Mom brought his super fun teepee and all his favorite stuffed animals--just the cutest! Enjoy!

Hot Air Ballonist Baby Z is Turning One!

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Thu, 07 Mar 2019 19:16:57 GMT

It has been such an amazing year for this sweet family of 3! From capturing their maternity session at the beginning of last year, to baby Z's newborn session in the spring, and now to think he is about to be ONE! Ever since his parents brought this little piggy bank airplane to their maternity session, it has been so much fun to incorporate it into every shoot! Going along with the flying-theme, his mama brought everything to make Baby Z his own hot air balloon for his session--and it turned out just adorable! Scroll to the end to see a fun flashback from the maternity and newborn sessions! Enjoy!

Baby L is on the way!

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Mon, 25 Feb 2019 22:27:57 GMT

Last weekend was so much fun! I had the pleasure of meeting this adorable couple who are so excited to meet their new little guy in just a few weeks! We had a few rain drops early in the session--which worked out perfectly as it cooled down the weather, and no one was out and about, giving us some gorgeous unobstructed views! Baby Boy is already so loved, and I just know his momma and dad can't wait to meet him!

Baby D is One!

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Fri, 15 Feb 2019 19:00:00 GMT

Where did the time go? I feel like it was just yesterday I was meeting Baby D's sweet parents to capture their maternity session, and now he is ONE! I have loved capturing his milestones over the past year, he just gets cuter and cuter by the minute. My favorite part of his one year cake smash was seeing his love of the Chicken Dance song. Is that what is it called? You know the one, that you clap and make your arms into wings, etc. He LOVES it! No need to ask him to smile for the camera, I just started singing the tune and happy baby singing and dancing! So much joy!! I snuck in a few from the past year at the end, so keep scrolling! Enjoy!

Honk! Beep! Baby W is ONE!

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Thu, 14 Feb 2019 18:34:48 GMT

I have had the pleasure of capturing this sweet little guy since he was the size of a plum inside his mama! And what a wonderful year it has been! I love seeing how fast they grow--and believe me it is TOO fast! Baby W had a Little Blue Truck birthday party and absolutely loves all the animals and the blue truck! Baby W had so much fun at his cake smash, no encouragement was needed for him to dig in! I snuck in a few from the past year as well, so keep scrolling to the end! Enjoy!

Valentine's Day Minis

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Tue, 12 Feb 2019 04:35:34 GMT

Valentine's Day is almost here! We had so much fun hosting these studio minis earlier this month and got to capture the sweetest kiddos! Pink and red are such fun pops of color, and I have loved making my page so colorful with everyones images this month! This is my very first Valentine's Day with my own little, and even though he probably will not have any idea what is happening--we will make sure to read him all his Valentine's Day books and eat cookies on his behalf haha! I guess that is parenting in true form! Enjoy!

Santa Baby

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Tue, 08 Jan 2019 14:45:00 GMT

I love babies and Christmas! They just go so well together! I had the pleasure of capturing this little girl at 6 days new, and it was so much fun to see this family shine as a family of 4! Big sister adores her new little sister, and you can just tell how proud she is of her! Isn't a baby just the best gift of all? Enjoy!

Wonderful Christmas Season!

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Tue, 02 Oct 2018 21:30:00 GMT

This milestone session was just to much fun! Baby L gave me loads of grins and was a total ham for the camera! I can't believe how much he has grown since his newborn session, it's gone so quickly!! His favorite part of the session was getting tickled by mama!! Enjoy!

I had so much fun capturing this sweet family of 4 as they were celebrating the soon-to-be family of 5 for a maternity session in the summer...and had the pleasure of capturing their newest little one at 8 days new! Baby R is as cute as a button and absolutely adored by her big sister and big brother! When I asked who wanted to hold Baby R for the first picture, both of their hands shot into the air! Congratulations on your newest little one!

Baby Girl is on her way!

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Tue, 25 Sep 2018 22:00:00 GMT

I had the pleasure of capturing this very sweet couple a year ago almost to the date with their two sweet rescue pups, and was thrilled to work with them this year as they celebrate the pending arrival of their baby girl! So much fun to see the difference between 2017 and the new adventure 2018 will bring! We are also "bump buddies" and due about a month apart! Too fun! J and B are so looking forward to this next chapter and I am so happy to have been a part of it! Enjoy!

Fall is just around the corner, and what better way to kick it off than a super cute pumpkin at this little guy's one year cake smash session! Baby J's favorite part was his washtub bath at the end, and it was so much fun to see his excitement at an outdoor bath!! Enjoy!

Their furry 4-legged family member was able to jump in for a few shots too, so fun! This sweet family will have definitely have lots of fun memories to create now and in the future!

Milk Bath Session!

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Fri, 14 Sep 2018 15:00:00 GMT

This very cute 10 month old was all about this milk bath session!! Sitting up so well on her own and smiling perfectly for the camera made for the most adorable shots! We also had some very fun girly times with Momma's high heels, and dressing up with Momma's pearls! She absolutely loves seeing her reflection and hanging out with her pretty friend in the mirror! Can't believe she is going to turn ONE so soon!

It will be so much fun to meet their newest bundle of joy in early December at Holiday Minis!

Little miss turns one!

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Tue, 04 Sep 2018 22:30:08 GMT

This cutie pie is turning ONE and we had such a fun one year old session with her sister and parents at the Color Wall! I love this location since the bright colors just make you feel so happy and are so much fun! Baby H absolutely loves dinosaurs, and brought her favorite dino to her session. I loved capturing her silly face and her joy, and big sister S was so good at smiling and posing! I just love seeing how fast these cuties grow!! Enjoy!

Baby K is turning ONE! I had so much fun capturing him and big sister K for this big milestone!! He was even nice enough to share his cake with her, which then turned into a frosting war! The best part of this cake smash session was the washtub bath at the end, as bathtimes are a favorite at his house! We had a blast during the session, and the bath was a great way to cool off during this Houston summer! Enjoy!

Happy Friday! This cutie pie was all smiles for his 6 month sitter session! I loved his little fedora, and he did too apparently!

This cute guy is going to be the perfect big brother to his baby brother sidekick in a couple of months!

A Perfect Beach Wedding-Bill and Noemi

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Fri, 08 Jun 2018 16:00:00 GMT

I had the pleasure of working with Bill and Noemi to capture their special day, surrounded by their friends and family. Bill and Noemi picked a perfect sunny beach day for their wedding, on May 5, 2018. The wedding took place in Galveston, TX, home to Bill. We couldn't have asked for better weather, and an immaculate sunset too! Their grandchildren are very special and dear to them, and it was so fun to have them all a part of the wedding, including the ring bearers, helping with the mixing of the sand, and bridal party. Noemi's son-in-law was even the DJ! Enjoy!

Watermelon and Seersucker

Happy Thursday! I wanted to share a few from my Watermelon Sessions, starting with these cuties! This family reminds me so much of growing up with my own little brother, and knowing the amount of bickering that was involved, I am just in love with this brother-sister bond! I know Mom and Dad will look back at these fondly over the years, and how sweet they are to each other!! Now I just need to find her seersucker dress in my size! Enjoy!

Cowboy Brothers and Watermelon

(Kristin Silliman Photography) — Thu, 07 Jun 2018 16:00:00 GMT

Hi All! I am so excited to share some sneaks from my Watermelon Sessions a couple weeks ago! These two I have had the pleasure of photographing from even before Little Brother was born! I love their very sweet bond, and willingness to be super cute for pictures (and they are so cute to begin with!)! Also--huge plus that Big Brother loved watermelon! The best was when Mom got out his cowboy hat at the end, and he pulls off the cowboy look perfectly! And to top it off, Baby Brother was celebrating his 1/2 birthday during the session, so fun! Enjoy!

These two will have so much fun growing up together, and it was too stinking cute capturing the two of them together! The best part is that both the pup and baby are momma's boys, and are always asking for her attention!
