Before we became a family of three (four counting Chapman, our pup), I always envisioned what our family portraits would look like. Don’t get me wrong, we took plenty of pictures all together at random, but I dreamed about the pictures our photographer would take. We have come to love Mariae from Pink Posh Photographers. I first met Mariae when M and I were engaged. She took our engagement photos, my bridal photos, and our wedding day photos. I am a sucker for family photographs and capturing moments, and Mariae has gone above and beyond to document some of my life’s best memories. She is awesomesauce times 100. I seriously can’t say enough about her (and no, this isn’t a sponsored post).
When Charlotte turned one this past February, the hubs ended up surprising me with a photo session for Charlotte and our family. He couldn’t keep it a secret for too long, because he knows what kind of planner I am with these things, but I was thrilled beyond words. Before we met with Mariae, I told her I trusted her to take us wherever her little heart desired for the destination, but I was thinking outdoors. We ended up going to an old barn and field. A little over seven months later, I have finally picked out my favorites. No one said I wasn’t a procrastinator.
I’ve shared a couple of these before courtesy of Pink Posh’s blog, but these are the handful that I picked out to keep forever. Narrowing them down from close to 300 pictures to this was quite the task. I am in love with every single picture and then some. I guess that’s what happens when you have an amazing photographer. Picking two for canvases was even harder! But I managed to get that done as well. ;) I can’t believe that my little baby has already grown so much since these pictures were taken. I am so thankful to have these, to remember Charlotte’s chubby little cheeks, her tenacity for life, and her love for sweets. It’s always the little things that make my heart sing.
If you are looking for an amazing photographer with a kind heart and amazing talent, you won’t be disappointed with Mariae at Pink Posh. Pink Posh is a boutique photography studio located in Texas with a new studio space here in Houston. They are available for international and national travel. Pink Posh is also the official campaign photographer for the Boot Campaign. I told you. Awesomesauce.
What do you do with your family portraits? Do you cherish them as much as I do? I would love to hear how you catalog your pictures, because Lord knows I need a better method. ;) And go!

You're pictures turned out great, Kris. We just had a few taken as well, and it was interesting with a 14 month old, lol. We did get a few good shots, but it's hard to get us all looking and smiling at the same time. Plus, our photographer wasn't that great about getting my son to smile. She was trying to shake keys, ha ha, which for 14 months is pretty boring and not funny at all. Thanks for sharing these great photos. You look amazing.

Haha, Charlotte probably would have laughed just at the gesture. These little babes are funny, aren't they? Thanks so much for your sweet words! Hope you had a great weekend!

Oh my gosh!!! Sooooo beautiful! I love the ones of her sitting in the grass with the clouds in the pic, SO stunning! You have the cutest family <3
kristyvmoreno@gmail.com says
Thanks, girl!!! Yeah, that one was one of my favorites. I wanted to do that one in the canvas, but the hubs chose another one. I let him get a pick and I picked the other one. We'll see if we made the right choices when they come in. Eek! And you are seriously too kind. ;) Thanks again, Jess!

Cat @ MaryMarthaMama says
Stopping in from the link-up… What a gorgeous family you all are! And I agree with you, I think that family pictures are so important and it seems that you have found a great family photographer. I need to have our pictures done again, it's been 2 years… but I want to wait for the Spring to do it.
kristyvmoreno@gmail.com says
Thanks, Cat! I do think we have found our photographer for sure. She has been with us for a while now and we just love her to pieces. Well worth the money! Don't underestimate the fall. I love a family fall picture! I just might have to get those done, too. Lol.
