bethany & lauren : celebration

Happy Labor Day, everyone! When this post goes live, I’ll still be sawing logs in bed… probably with both kids, as well as Mack. Ah, the joys of scheduling posts!
But for those of you who might not be so lucky as to have today off (to go swimming and eat tacos, like we...

ethan : newborn

Ethan was exactly a week old when I came to his house in Weatherford for his newborn portraits. His parents own the Rose Garden Cottage B&B (a venue I use for photo shoots pretty often), so I was so excited to meet him!
This was a SUPER easy newborn session… like, easier than Dorothy’s were. Ethan...

bailey : celebration

I rarely shoot senior sessions, but every once in a while, a kid comes along with a great attitude and a fun idea and I get excited to do it. Bailey was one of those!
I met up with Bailey and her mom at the Baker Hotel in Mineral Wells, which was a perfect place to...

the underwoods : family

I’ve said it before, and I’ll keep saying it every time someone gives me a chance… the Underwoods are some of our favorite people. Ever. And as a bonus, they’re great for business. We can trace nearly a dozen weddings we’ve booked back to them somehow.
So while we were out at their place...

michael : celebration

Michael recognized something important. Something I wish everyone knew.
He’s an adult, with a lot going for him, and a lot to be proud of, and there’s absolutely NO reason to wait until he gets engaged to have pictures to show for his life.  His desire for a celebration session was the perfect reflection of what...

burns family : celebration!

It’s one of my favorite things in the world when clients come back for more McGowan Images lovin’. I took the Burns’ family pictures this time last year, when baby Ely was brand spankin’ new, and was so excited that Marybeth wanted to do it again this year.
Even more exciting, at the end of this...

halli : celebration

Halli is turning 3!
Today and tomorrow, you’re going to see a rare thing… kiddo sessions on the McGowan Images blog! I don’t take them often, and really, I made myself a rule that I’d never try to fit them in during the rush of wedding season. But these kids are just so fun, and were...

rusty & sarah : celebration

I’ll probably say it every time I do a post-wedding couple’s session… I love taking pictures of a couple who’s in love, even with no wedding to plan. I hate the statistics of people who fall out of love and the relationship just stagnates. Sure, you can’t feel warm-fuzzies all day every day. But you...

tasha, JJ & olivia : maternity

I already know that some people will look at the title of this blog, then look at the pictures, and wonder why there are three names but only two people! Well, that’s because I whole-heartedly believe there are three people in these pictures.
JJ & Tasha love their little girl so much, and she won’t even...

danielle & co. : celebration

Danielle works with Mack, and was super excited to schedule a mini-session with me when her dad and siblings came to visit her. We also got lucky with the weather on the morning of our shoot… it had just rained, and was only 75 degrees outside! I could definitely get used to that.
Here are a...
