This sweet, sweet family was so amazing to work with! I enjoyed every minute of their session!

Marcus & Andrea, thank you so much for choosing me to photograph your beautiful family! xo Layla :)

Something you may not know about me is that I am a HUGE dance fan! I am addicted to the show So You Think You Can Dance and I wish I had continued dance when I was younger so I could have a skill such a dance. When Kirby & Kara's mom contacted me about wanting to get some portraits done for her girls and told me they were dancers, I immediately jumped for joy and was super excited! I had been wanting to find some dancers to photograph and do a couple of styled shoots with so I think it's pretty safe to safe that when my summer projects roll around, I will be giving these two darlings a call. They were so amazing and are extremely talented! I couldn't be more happy that not only did we all immediately click but also that my camera couldn't tear itself away from their gorgeous faces! I cannot wait to see them perform in their recital in a couple of weeks, I know they're going to do amazing! 

Kirby & Kara,

I had such a wonderful time photographing you guys! I can't wait to see where your dance career takes you guys! I hope to see you guys on our favorite dance show in a couple of years!! I also want to give a BIG shout-out to their wonderful mama Michelle for choosing me to photograph her beautiful girls! 

Much love!

For quite some time now all I've been wanting to do is open a studio; a place where I can meet clients, a place to for me to be able to do certain type of shoots and a place to call my own. Reality finally set in a couple of months ago when I found the perfect little spot. You may or may not know, I grew up in the Martial Arts industry and until I started doing photography that was all I knew. My parents opened up their first Martial Arts facility in the Clear Lake area 19 years ago this June and it was mine & my brother's home away from home. As the years went on we opened up two more facilities and our main location in Clear Lake grew, we added more buildings and are still expanding. With our expansion, a few years ago, my parents built a nice size office in the back of our main facility and it wasn't really used much. I finally got the courage to ask if I could move in and without hesitation they both said yes. It was definitely something that I had been waiting a long time to do so I was beyond excited that my dream was actually coming true. I started planning it out in my head back in December and all I had to do was wait for the current tenant to move out completely and I could move in. Once April hit I was ready. I moved in and it became my new home away from home. The best part about it is that I grew up on the grounds where my studio is located so I couldn't be happier about my location. Its definitely my little slice of heaven.

I am beyond blessed that I was able to open up my studio and now have a place to do the things I have envisioned for this next step for my company. I hope you enjoy the tour, in photos, of my studio. You'll definitely need to come visit in person though!

Enjoy!!

Studio hours are by appointment only, if you'd like to come have a private tour don't hesitate to ask! :)

I learned something really unique about the Chinese culture which shooting this next session. Chinese people have a big celebration when their babies turn 100 days old! How cool is that??! I want a 100 day old celebration!!

Meet the sweet Chang family!

Its so rewarding, as a photographer, to meet so many people and capture their story. That was no exception with this next family. They were a true joy to work with and their sweet baby, Miss Aria was so perfect to work with! We've already set up her 1st year birthday pictures and I know it'll be here before we know it!

Colette & Jon,

I had such a great time photographing your sweet family! Can't wait to do it again!

I got a not so common request for this next client, she wanted to take pictures mainly of her puppies! I have to say it was pretty exciting photographing puppies, definitely something different! At first, her pups weren't very welcoming and they would only allow profile shots. Every time I pointed my camera in their direction, their head turned and gave me the side of their face. Ryn & I definitely had a good laugh about it! Once we got the puppies warmed up and comfortable it was easy-breezy from there.

Ryn! Thank you so much for choosing me to photograph your pups! I had such a wonderful time meeting & working with you! You're such a sweetheart! xo!

THESE TWO ARE SOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!

 ^PURE EXCITEMENT!! ^

YES, WE LIKE KELVIN'S SOCKS!

So I have to tell you all, after you've looked at their gorgeous photos, how Mr. Kelvin proposed. It wasn't your typical proposal. Kelvin decided that instead of asking Porsche first, he needed to get the permission from her family. So Kelvin, hoped in the car with his soon to be mother-in-law and drove around Texas talking to Porsche's family and asking for their permission to marry her. I have to say, Porsche is one lucky girl! I would feel so honored if my future husband traveled every where I had family to ask to marry me. Once Kelvin got everyone's blessing he then proposed to Porsche, she was of course eating a bowl of cereal in the process and he surprised her like no other. They are beyond cute together and I know they are going to have many blessed years together!

Porsche & Kelvin,

I wish you two all of the happiness in the world!! I know you guys are going to have many wonderful years to come!!

xo! layla

Dance party!!!

This was the most bittersweet session I think I've ever done! As my nieces 1st birthday fastly approached, I HAD to take her 1 year photos. I wouldn't have it any other way. However, I still can't believe she's 1. Time truly flies, faster than necessary sometimes. My cousin packed up her girls and made the long trek down to my house. We technically only live 45 minutes away from each other but with Houston's traffic & two toddlers it took her a while to make it down to me. Once, she made it down we headed to the park to take pictures cause you can't take pictures of one and not the other! Then, we ventured back to my house and I sat Dana in front of the camera and let her have at the cake. Just to see the joy on her face while we were taking her pictures and she was eating cake made me love her even more. Her & her sister are my world and I couldn't be more grateful to be their aunt.

So without further ado, my sweet baby Dana's Smash the Cake session! :)

Im a little bias, but I have two of the cutest nieces in the history of nieces!!! I want to thank my cousin for getting married and having kids, because without her & her hubby I wouldn't be able to share these photos!!

Enjoy!! xo

I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS GIRL!!! She ROCKED her session! Not only did I do her hair & makeup but she trusted me 100% in styling her as well! Let's just say I was in photographer heaven! Now that we're instagram friends, we're friends for life!!! :)

Michaela,

I wish you nothing but the best in your future endeavors! I hope you have an amazing time at UT! Hookem'!!!
