Oh my goodness friends… I am SO excited to finally be getting back to blogging and sharing all of the beautiful sessions that took place at Specialty Photography before we paused the studio during my husband’s CAR-T Cell Therapy journey. ❤️

Now that life is settling back into a new rhythm, I cannot tell you how happy I am to be back behind the scenes catching up on these special memories and sharing them with you all! Over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be posting several of our holiday sessions from November and December 2025, so get ready for lots of Christmas joy during these warmer May days!

And today… I’m so excited to introduce you to the sweetest family — the Lopez Family!

From the moment they walked into the studio, I knew this session was going to be something special. It was such a joy meeting Melissa and Noe, along with their beautiful family, as they celebrated a very magical milestone — little Cleo’s very first Christmas photos!  Cleo is their first little grandbaby :) 

Their session took place on our elegant Gold Christmas Set, and everything came together perfectly. The formal outfits they chose photographed beautifully and the colors complimented the set design so wonderfully. Every image felt warm, timeless, and filled with love.

One of my favorite parts of the session was getting to capture a few portraits of little Cleo by herself. She was absolutely precious and such a little doll in front of the camera! There is just something so special about documenting those first holiday memories.

To finish the session, we switched things up and captured fun Christmas pajama photos with the whole family — and those images were full of laughter, personality, and so much joy. 

The Lopez Family was such a blessing to photograph, and I truly loved spending the session with them. You can absolutely see the love they share and the happiness surrounding sweet little Cleo.

I already look forward to having them back in the studio again soon and getting to watch little Cleo continue to grow through the years.

Thank you, Lopez Family, for allowing me to capture such a magical season for your family. You truly have a beautiful family, inside and out.

Love & Laughter,
Deanna
