Yesterday the Tran family welcomed baby girl Kaylie into their family and I was honored and fortunate to arrive at the hospital in Plano minutes before she was born! I am excited to share a whole slideshow with you later today, but for now here is one of my favorites! Congrats guys!
This is seriously one of the most beautiful newborn babies I have ever laid eyes on!
We have two upcoming projects that are a great way for your baby or child to get a FREE photo session! Here’s the first:
We will be doing some Beehive product modeling of their line of children’s rainboot (called rainbops) and flip flops! First we are casting for the rainboot models.
For this shoot we are looking for girls (not babies) who wear sizes 11, 12, 13, 1, 2, or 3 in a rain boot. You and your child (no siblings please) must be available for a shoot Saturday, August 14th, time TBA in the Ruston area. Each participant will have to have their legal guardian present to sign a model release for the use of their pictures on this blog, as well as marketing materials for Beehive both in print and on the web. We are looking for 5 models and each model will get to keep her style of rainboot (rainbops) when the session is over, plus you will receive web versions of the images for Facebook abd blogging, and online gallery of images on our site with a $25.00 print credit towards ordering images that ship directly to your door!
To be consider please fill out our contact form on the site or on FB and select “Model Shoot” from the list and then email a picture of your child and her shoe size to me at crystal@crsytalgarcia.com! Thanks!
We will have selected all five models on Wednesday, August 4th!
Due to the huge response the model search will close tonight at midnight, so hurry and send us your pictures!
And check back soon for details on our newborn model shoots coming up in September for babies of either gender 0-14 days old at the time of the shoot!
Aarin’s beautiful pregnant belly is quite the talk! I heard about her and her belly before I even met her!
Aarin, you are such the fun loving, glowing mommy to be! Between motherhood and photography (her major in college) we had lots to talk about! Thanks for the great session! Can’t wait to see you again soon when your little man arrives!

When we set out to capture some great images of Peirce at his 9 month milestone there were some pretty large looming storm clouds and of course as soon as we began to actually take pictures it started pouring down rain. Peirce’s family had driven up from Pineville, Louisiana for his shoot so there was no way I was going to just throw in the towel and reschedule! Umbrella in hand we made the most of it and had a great session! And on the bright side we had plenty of water available for tub pictures and it was cooler than usual!
A small note on personality types and babies. Peirce has the well, piercing if you will, blue eyes and a peaceful, super chill personality. Unfortunately trying to make Peirce give you a big smile can make you feel like you are a jester at the King’s court. Things that help? The first is accepting that your baby whomever he or she is is who they are and if they aren’t super smiley at this age and just capture those serious and totally heart melting eyes and facial expressions. Thankfully Peirce’s mom knows that “that is so Peirce” and while we still try to goof off and make him grin a bit we can all feel good about capturing Peirce who is is right now. Smiling or looking at us like we are crazy. Perice thanks for giving us a few smiles and humoring us!
This is Peirce’s dad, if you have been a dad on a shoot with me and your baby you probably have experienced me giving you fun jobs like hovering under the eves of a building and mixing bubbles in the rain, singing and dancing for laughs, holding a reflector or even taking off your shirt for pictures in some cases. Thanks for your great attitude dads, you know you enjoy being useful!
