I love Newborns… {Houston, TX – Newborn Photographer}

Houston, TX Newborn Photographer - Kendra Martin Photography

I love love love newborn sessions!!!  I love getting to photograph all their little features and listening to them as they breath… did I mention already I love newborns ;)?!  I know a lot of photographers prefer sleepy babies, but there is just something about a newborn babies eyes that I adore!!  I love it when babies are awake but have always wondered what it would be like to have a baby that slept the entire session… well this little man slept almost the entire time I was there and I found I love that too!!   He wasn’t really a fan of when I tried to pose him, so I just settled him in and let him do his thing :), but he was such a sweet little boy!!  Loved getting to spend time with him… it had only been 5 months since I’d held a newborn, but boy did he seem tiny compared to my 5 month old back home!! Here’s a few of the shots I took of just him!!!

When someone says “we’re really drawn to candid wedding photos,” I know exactly what they mean, but I also know it means something different to every couple. And honestly? That’s part of what I love about it. Because candid doesn’t mean chaotic, and it definitely doesn’t mean careless.  Candid means intentional presence. It means pausing […]

I took a trip to Knoxville, TN to document Sarah & Andy’s engagement session.  They wanted to do their session where they will be getting married in 2026 and it was the best decision ever!  Not only did I get to meet and hang out with Sarah & Andy, but I also was able to […]

Greenville, you’ve been a beautiful backdrop—but lately, I’ve fallen hard for something else: private estate weddings. If you’re dreaming of tying the knot somewhere that’s more your world than a checklist, a family home‑turned‑wedding‑day‑stage is where the real magic happens. Why private estates feel so right Authentic comfort from beginning to end It’s your space. […]
