family downtown session || eli turns one

The weather is turning, it's the first of October and we are flat out excited about fall sessions. I have set aside two days this month for sessions. You can check out our fall mini session schedule here. Spots have to be reserved in advance. All sessions will be taken around the downtown area. I've got a few great spots I like to shoot! 

---

Now let's chat about how cute this little man is. When Kendall ask me to take Eli's one year photos I was so excited! I love shooting little people especially little boys in suspenders. This family is so kind and sweet. Eli loves his food and he did not hesitate when it came to diving into this cake. I have to admit I tried it along with him and it was amazing! 

You can find out more about booking sessions with me on our photo page of the website. 

hospital postpartum session || morrison

Hospital postpartum sessions are full of so much joy. There is always so many emotions that come over me when I arrive, when I'm shooting, and when I leave. When I arrive to the hospital for a session I go into full Mom mode. I am there to help sooth, swaddle, change diapers, and be there with you with no judgement. This chapter of your story is so important. I know after having three kids I was a bit of a mess to look at and probably be around (darn hormones) but it mattered. This first 24 hours are so incredibly hard and happy. To learn more about pricing & booking click below! Now grab a coffee and enjoy! This session give me all the feels. 

Katera came into the store as soon as she found out she was pregnant and told me to put her on the books. Every time I saw her in the store she had a smile on her face, so full of joy and excitement about carrying a baby and anxious to meet this new little person. She was never negative, always pleasantly happy. Ms. Birdie is the Morrison's first baby and I honestly wanted to cry with how much love they had for one another and the baby. Tender selfless love. It was a blessing to be apart of such beautiful moments. 

I have just announced a run of Fall Mini Sessions for October. You can find out more below.

what are you scared of?

LITTLE h CREATIVE BUSINESS

---

I'm scared of success. Defining success can be a hard and scary thing. To be honest, I don't know what that looks like for me. Working Hard and being driven is not something I struggle with. And if being honest it can play a toll on me! At what point do I stop and slow down to know that I'm were I'm supposed to be. I'm scared that I'll wake up one day and have lost my definition of success and just be chasing everyone else's definition of what success looks like. 

So today I'm writing it down. Success to me is living my purpose. Sharing the gifts God has entrusted me with. Showing my girls to dream big and work hard to accomplish them. Success is not asking for handouts. Success is feeling pride in what I HAVE accomplished. Success is loving my family hard. Every single day. 

Join me! What are you scared of?!

newborn studio family session || humpert

I wanted to spend time today sharing this beautiful session at the 9th Street Studios. I love this venue not only for it's beautiful architecture and craftsmanship but also the accessibility of it. I decided years ago that I wasn't going to attempt to shoot newborn sessions outside. There are too many variables that get in the way of the beauty of the baby and family. 

I had the pleasure of shooting Alysha's daughters, Sutton, session in their home and when she contacted me about Bennett's newborn session and wanting something different I knew the studios would be a great fit. It's clean, simple, and the natural light is amazing. Renting the studios is always an option when it comes to booking mini or one hour sessions with me. 

This family shines beauty and I am so thankful I had the opportunity to spend time with them to capture this new chapter out of their book. Bennett is the cutest little boy and I didn't want to take my hands off him. 

I am now booking family mini sessions for October 2017! Click here to reserve your spot! I will only be doing these two days for Fall Family Photos. 

now booking || fall mini sessions & loft venue space

One of our most ask questions when people come in the store is "What is upstairs?" Well, let me tell you! When we were designing and planning our store we knew we wanted to have a space to host parties and workshops but also to allow others to do the same! Our loft space is for rent and there are two rates available. We book in 2 hour increments and during business hours and after business hours. We allow for additional hours to be added and we allow you to use our handmade farm house tables. We have a total of 4 wooden 8 ft tables and 8 benches. 

We would love to get you on the books! You can read more here.

We have been getting direct messages from Instagram, Email, and Facebook so we decided it's time to book our Fall Mini Sessions. We did not do very many sessions last year because I had baby Maggie! With a full season ahead I am only going to book two days in October. Sessions will take place in the downtown area. Once session is booked I will notify you with a location and confirmation on time.  

newborn lifestyle session || grassi

I'd like to introduce this sweet family to you. When they contacted me to shoot this session in their starter home I couldn't be more excited. The newborn lifestyle session is about capturing not only the new bundle of joy but the house, the siblings, and the space you call home. I want to tell a story of this certain moment in time. Those first weeks are such a haze and speaking from experience, it's easy to forget to savor the moments that will soon be gone. This session brings me so much joy and my goal is to capture a chapter out of your story. 

I book a limited number of lifestyle sessions per month. Please contact me if you have any questions and click below for more details. 

Thank you for being here! -kathryn

family session || ramon

I am so excited to share a new family session here today! I'd like to welcome the Ramon Family! I had the pleasure to meet them on their local cut flower farm in Burkburnett, Texas. Blair & Blake are so cute together and their little Bristol has the cutest giggles. This two acre farm is on their family land and you can feel the love as soon as you step foot on this soil they work so hard to maintain. Blair brings her locally cut flowers to the store once a week if not more. You should take the  time to come grab a Gilbert Creek Gardens bouquet to share with a loved one or fill your home with the warm and beautiful colors. 

I took a break from booking family sessions and after this experience I'm going to be booking a few sessions a month and will open dates for Fall Family Mini's so be sure to follow along on social media so you can be notified when those become available.

Two things: I love branding & design. Visual branding is such an important part of your business. I recently taught a boss time : social media workshop and I hear so many creative entrepreneurs struggling with content (what do we talk about), quality images, and an overall concept of social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook. 

As a small business I understand the commitment it takes to invest back into your business but I can't stress enough its value.

I would like to introduce m wood designs. I've had the pleasure of getting to know Merrill, owner and creator of m wood designs. She is so sweet, kind, and makes the cutest genuine leather earrings. They are soft, light weight and go with everything! I was so thrilled when she decided to take m wood designs to the next level and really invest back into her creative business. We worked together to figure out what she needed most for her social media and overall brand. 

We started by booking a content marketing session, product shots and lastly, I designed a fully functioning website to show case her earrings and reach a larger audience. Merrill has great vision of what she wants but needed help getting there. I loved helping her start to finish create something she was proud of. Shooting her product and designing her website allowed me to have more freedom and control when it came to making her website, social media and images all cohesive with each other. 

I book one content marketing and web design client a month to ensure quality. My goal is to put my full focus on the one client so everything is cohesive and done in a timely manner. If you have more questions on either content marketing or web design click below.

newborn lifestyle session : ms. andie

It's been really silent over here and I apologize! LIFE is busy. Everything at the store is going great with so many custom shirt orders and new faces. I am so thankful for all the business and I am especially grateful that I had the chance to capture these sweet moments for a good friend of mine! New baby sister + a big sister that is in love = one happy family. There is no question this style of session is my favorite. The newborn lifestyle session takes place in the comfort of your home. No rules or guidelines. Just you and your little one. I loved this session because sweet Andie was awake the entire time. So content and happy with life. I have soooo many favorites but here are a few! Enjoy!

a year in review || 2016

well the year is almost over and usually i'm like wow, i can't believe it's almost over but i have to say this year was a long and wonderful year. i opened the store at the first of the year and soon found out we were expecting our third little human. it. was. hard. being sick is not my jam. 

if i had to pick one word for 2016 it would be ..... trust. i had to trust in the Lord that opening the store space on 7th was the right move. i had to trust that it would work. i had to trust in myself. i had to trust that our baby growing in my belly was safe and healthy.  pretty much,  i had to trust the dream.

i have received so much affirmation about the business and store this year.  i booked more photography clients, design clients and printed more custom orders than ever before. i have so much to learn and am continuously inspired by those around me and the people who support my little store of handmade happiness. 

i have really BIG news to share with you next week but until then i would like to say thank you to everyone who follows along. i have big goals for 2017. 

---

the girls of grown SO much this year. annie turned 5, jane turned 3 and we welcomed another beautiful girl to our family in october, maggie ann. we bought a camper and hope to enjoy many more camping trips this year as a family. 

i encourage you to think about your word for this past year. what was it and looking forward, what is your word for 2017? comment below! i'd love to hear. now...picture overload from this past year. 

bridals || cortny pritt

this was such a beautiful session with a beautiful bride to be. i am so happy i can finally share these images. the weather was perfect and the dress cortny chose was just amazing. two pieces with an amazing skirt. her wedding was last weekend so stay tuned for more images of her winter wedding! 

life : welcome maggie ann

i haven't blogged about my pregnancy much the past 9 months because life has been busy. working, running a store, and preparing for this Fall/Christmas has kept me busy. 

i have shared so many of these photos on my instagram account but wanted to take time to post images from maggie's first week here and to write about her birth experience and entrance into this world. 

just a quick a recap - i was in labor 28 hours with annie, 18 hours with jane and both times i wanted to go natural. both times i did not. i really didn't have a grand plan for this labor and delivery except i wanted it to be "easier". this pregnancy had been harder and the entire time this baby just felt a little lower.  i really did feel like i would go into labor early and that i did, 8 days early.

on Saturday, october 22nd i started having contractions that were more intense but still really far apart so we stayed busy, went to the movies and then i just decided to go to bed early ( 8 o'clock) not knowing what would happen. at 12:30 am I started having contractions again but still far apart...luckily after an hour i noticed i was "leaking" and that it could mean my water was trying to break so i woke up Ryan and we went to the hospital. 

luckily i was right and i was leaking amniotic fluid so that was a guaranteed admit to the hospital! woo hoo! we were admitted at 2:30 am and was started on pitocin to speed things up with my contractions and by 4:45 I had an epidural. things were still moving slow and i was really just praying that things would pick up at some point and i would have a baby by lunch. thankfully, at around 6 am my water broke on it's own and things picked up FAST and i was pushing by 8 and our sweet little maggie was born at 8:16 am. 

it was a little wild, and happened so much faster than my others even though it seemed like it was going so slow. i was shocked when she came out and the dr. informed me i had another girl. i am so thankful! we now have three healthy girls and i could not feel more blessed. ryan is extremely out numbered and i think he likes it. 

i'll try to post more on here! if you don't already follow along on instagram for the most up to date pictures of our life and for information on the store and sales! follow along @littlehcreative 

now, enjoy images from our first week home with maggie!

wedding : presley & blake

so here ya go! picture overload! enjoy. 

bridals : presley

to say it's been a little crazy would be an under statement so i apologize for not sharing these beautiful images sooner. i had the privilege to shoot presley & blakes wedding at the first of October and her bridals in September. presley is such a beautiful person inside and out. her dress was absolutely stunning! we took her bridals in the Montz Pecan Orchard in Charlie and it was just the perfect day. her bouquet was from Mayfield Events.
