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!!!

Photography is in my blood and seeking truth is in my soul. Which is a deep way of saying, I’ve loved to take photos for a really long time, y’all. I’d love to share my story with you then listen to yours.

Some of my favorite photographs from a wedding weekend are taken with everyone in khakis. I’ve been thinking about that lately. After almost twenty years of photographing weddings, I’ve learned that the moments my couples come back to years later are not always the ones you would expect.  The first look matters. The vows matter. […]

Rachel & Ben were married on an incredible fall weekend in the upstate of South Carolina.  The weekend started out with family and friends celebrating these two at the Greenville Country Club for the rehearsal dinner.  The included hugs, the most beautiful toasts, and Ben grabbing his guitar and playing/singing for guests.  That evening set […]

For the last few years I’ve photographed Ballet Spartanburg’s performances of the Nutcracker.  It is an honor to capture these incredible students and professional dancers that share the stage for this family favorite in the heart of Spartanburg, SC.  Most years I capture the dress rehearsals, this past year due to a wedding in Charleston […]
