William & Luke {Dallas Newborn Photographer}

I am so excited to introduce twin boys William and Luke, who surprised their parents by arriving on April 29…much earlier than their July 13 due date. I was thrilled to finally meet them last week when they were both home from the NICU. From the moment I walked in the door, I could feel the abundance of love surrounding these handsome boys. Welcome to the world sweet William and Luke!

Happy Father’s Day!

Happy Father’s Day to my wonderful dad, who through the years has been there to listen, to cheer me on, and to support me. Dad, your faith in God and how you live your life makes it so easy to place my trust in our Heavenly Father. Thank you for all that you do and for all that you are. I love you so very much!

~Claire Bear, #5

Hope all of you fathers out there have a wonderful day as well!

Aspen Sessions: June 25-July 2 {Aspen Child Photographer}

I am thrilled to announce that I’ll be offering a limited number of sessions in Aspen, CO June 25-July 2!

One of my favorite things about summer has always been spending a few weeks in Aspen. Colorado to me is one of those places that no matter how many times I visit, it always reenergizes my creativity and inspires me as an artist. I have several locations I think will be perfect including some of beautiful fields up near the Maroon Bells. And although I think the Aspen summers are perfect for outdoor sessions, an indoor session is often great for little ones under the age of 1 and for the times when the weather outdoors isn’t cooperating. My parents have graciously agreed to allow their newly built home to be used for any indoor sessions.

If you’re planning to be in Aspen during this time and are interested in booking a session, please contact me ASAP at claire@clairesmith.com or (214) 212-2261 to reserve your spot. See you in CO!

Dallas {Dallas Baby Photographer}

A sneak peek of one adorable baby girl who’s name I just adore. Dallas was such a happy little thing during our session, and as you can tell she has the prettiest blue eyes. And her mom did an amazing job with all the outfits! I just love how the bright colors pop against all the green. Any of you out there looking for fun and unique clothes, be sure to check out Etsy. I know Dallas’ mom and I probably agree that Etsy has some of the cutest things!

25+ comments earns this family a surprise gift! (1 comment per household)

Happy Wednesday!

On days like this when it is grey and cloudy, seeing some happy little faces is all I need to make me forget about the weather outside. The pictures below did just that. Here’s one from a recent session with my precious nephew Blake, who you might remember gave me one of the sweetest grins during his newborn session. Now he’s 4 months old showing off that cute smile of his again. He is starting to look so much like his big brother!

And a couple snaps of his big sister, Natalie, who had the giggles that day ;)

Happy Wednesday everyone!
