YOU DON’T HAVE TO “FIX” YOURSELF BEFORE A BO***IR SESSION. 🤎

“I want to book… but I need to lose some weight first.”

“I could never pose like that.”

“I’m way too awkward.”

“I’m just not confident enough to do something like this.”

If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard one of these before a bo***ir session… 😂

Here’s what I wish more women knew:

You do not have to be confident before you walk through my door.

You don’t need to lose 10 pounds.
You don’t need to know how to pose.
You don’t need experience in front of a camera.
You don’t need to suddenly become comfortable with every inch of your body.

You just have to show up.

I’ll take care of the rest. 🤎

I’ll guide you through everything — from what to wear to exactly what to do with your hands, where to look, how to position your body and even the tiniest adjustments that make a huge difference in photographs.

And somewhere between the nervous “I have no idea what I’m doing” at the beginning and seeing yourself through my camera…

something changes.

You start standing a little taller.

You stop worrying so much about what you think you’re supposed to look like.

And you realize that maybe the woman you’ve been so critical of deserves a little more love than you’ve been giving her.

Bo***ir isn’t about becoming someone else for a day.

It’s about seeing the woman who was already there. 🤎

You don’t have to wait until you lose the weight.

You don’t have to wait until you feel confident.

You don’t have to wait until your body looks different.

Take the pictures now.

Because this version of you deserves to be celebrated, too. 📸

SOME OF MY FAVORITE PHOTOS ARE THE ONES WHERE NO ONE IS LOOKING AT MY CAMERA. 🤎

Of course I’m going to get the photos of everyone looking at me and smiling — those are important too.

But when I’m behind my camera, I’m looking for so much more than that.

I’m watching the hands. The little details. The way someone reaches for the person they love without even thinking about it. The things happening in between the “big” moments.

Because sometimes an image doesn’t even need to show a face to tell an entire story.

These are a few of my favorites. 🤍

The little hand holding onto Dad. 🇺🇸
She waited nine months for her daddy to come home from deployment. I could’ve focused only on her face, but there was something about the way she held onto his arm while walking beside him that said everything. Daddy is finally home.

The shoes & the rings. 💍
Before the dress is put on and the vows are exchanged, there are all these little details waiting for their moment. Her wedding shoes beside their rings may seem like a simple photograph, but together they represent the beginning of a new chapter — the shoes that will carry her down the aisle and the rings they’ll wear as a reminder of the promises they make to each other that day.

“Mommy did it for you.” 🎓
This one will always get me. A single mama who pushed her way through school with her daughter as one of her biggest reasons to keep going. You don’t even need to see her face to understand what that graduation meant. That cap tells the story all by itself.

A daddy holding his daughter’s hand for the very first time. 🤍
Brand new fingers wrapped around Dad’s hand just moments after entering the world. One day she’ll be much too big for those tiny hands to fit inside his — but they’ll always have this.

Waiting on baby #4. 🤰🏼
Two parents standing close, hands resting together on the little life they created, smiling at each other while waiting to meet their fourth baby. Sometimes the smallest interaction says more about their relationship than any perfectly posed photograph could.

This is what storytelling through photography means to me.

Yes, we’ll get the picture where everyone looks at the camera.

But I’ll also be watching for the little hand gripping Daddy’s sleeve.

The rings sitting beside the shoes.

The words written on a graduation cap.

The first time Dad holds his baby’s hand.

The way two people look at each other while waiting for their family to grow.

Because years from now, sometimes the smallest details are the ones that bring you right back to exactly how that moment felt. 🤎📸

WHAT TO WEAR FOR FALL FAMILY PHOTOS 🍂📸

One of the questions I get asked the MOST before a family session is… “What in the world are we supposed to wear?!” 😂

So here’s a little fall outfit inspiration to make planning those family photos a whole lot easier! 🤎

A few of my favorite tips:

🍂 Coordinate — don’t match.
You don’t all need the same colored shirt! Pick 3–4 colors that work well together and spread them throughout everyone’s outfits.

🤎 Start with Mom.
Seriously! Pick an outfit you feel beautiful and comfortable in first, then build everyone else’s outfits around yours.

🧶 Add different textures.
Knits, denim, corduroy, linen, sweaters, flowy dresses and layers photograph beautifully and add dimension without making outfits feel busy.

🌾 Earthy + muted colors are your friend.
Cream, camel, rust, olive, sage, brown, burgundy, mustard and deeper neutrals look SO good against fall scenery.

> Don’t be afraid of movement.
Flowy dresses and skirts photograph beautifully, especially when we’re walking, playing with the kiddos or catching a little breeze.

> Mix dressy with casual.
You don’t have to dress like you’re going to a wedding! A beautiful dress paired with Dad in a sweater and nice jeans can look just as put together.

🚫 Try to avoid:
Neon colors, large logos, characters, super busy patterns and having everyone wear the exact same color.

👟 Don’t forget the shoes!
Shoes are still part of the outfit and WILL make it into your photos. 😂 Neutral boots, booties, loafers and simple sneakers are usually safe choices.

And most importantly — wear something that actually feels like YOU.

These are your family photos. You should be able to look back at them and recognize yourselves, not feel like everyone dressed up as a completely different family for the day. 😂🤎

Save this little guide for your fall photo planning! 🍂

THE STORY BEHIND THE PHOTOS 🤍📸

I share a lot of my work on here, but you don’t always get to hear the stories happening behind the photos. I want to start sharing more of those moments with you — and I couldn’t think of a better one to start with. 🤍

A BIRTH STORY I’LL NEVER FORGET. 🤍

Out of all the moments I’ve had the privilege of photographing, this is one that will stay with me for a very long time.

They were welcoming their third baby into the world, but this birth came with an incredibly special first — Dad got to deliver his own baby girl. 🥹

Dad works in OB/GYN, and he was given the opportunity to be the one there as his daughter entered the world. And getting to stand behind my camera and document it all was something I’ll never forget.

I watched this mama work SO incredibly hard to bring her baby earthside. I watched her husband go from supporting her through the intensity of labor to being the one helping bring their daughter into the world.

And then everything changed.

The hard labor turned into relief. The intensity turned into happy tears. And suddenly, their baby girl was on Mama’s chest and they were a family of five. 🤍

There was something so beautiful about watching Dad throughout it all. He may work in this world every day, but in that room, this wasn’t his job.

This was his wife.
This was his daughter.
This was their moment.

The strength of this mama, the love and support between the two of them, the tears that followed, and the pure emotion in that room made this easily one of the most memorable sessions I have ever photographed.

This is why birth photography has such a special place in my heart.

These aren’t perfectly posed moments. They’re raw. They’re emotional. They’re sometimes messy. They’re completely real.

And they only happen once.

One day, this sweet baby girl will be able to look at these photographs and actually SEE the moment her dad helped bring her into the world and just how loved she was from her very first breath.

What an incredible story she gets to have. 🤍

A LITTLE ABOUT THE GIRL BEHIND THE CAMERA 🤎📸

Sometimes I get so caught up in sharing sessions, availability, minis and all the pretty photos that I forget there are quite a few new faces here who may not actually know much about the person taking them. 🥹

So hi, I’m Hallie! 🤎

I’ve been behind the camera for about 6 years now, and photography has become so much more to me than taking pretty pictures.

I’m a wife, a mama to two crazy little boys, and someone who genuinely loves documenting the moments in life that you wish you could freeze forever.

I photograph a little bit of everything — families growing year after year, maternity, birth, those first days home with a new baby, military goodbyes & homecomings, couples, and of course one of my biggest loves… helping women see themselves differently through bo***ir. 🤍

Some sessions are full of belly laughs and kids running absolutely wild. Some have happy tears. Some are quiet and intimate. Some are once in a lifetime moments that you can never recreate.

And THAT is what I love about this job.

I don’t need everything to be perfectly posed. I want the real stuff. The way your babies look at you. The way your husband makes you laugh. The tiny details you don’t realize you’ll miss until they’re gone.

Because one day, these won’t just be pictures.

They’ll be proof of exactly what this season of your life felt like. 🤎

Thank you to every single person who has trusted me with a piece of their story over the last six years. Whether you’ve booked with me, shared my work, recommended me to a friend or simply followed along — it means more than you know.

Here’s to capturing a whole lot more. 📸🤎

THE DAY YOU MEET YOUR BABY. 🤍

You’ll remember how it felt… but you won’t remember every little detail.

The way your partner held your hand through another contraction. The encouragement from everyone in the room. The tiny details of your baby seconds after entering the world. The relief, the tears, the overwhelming love when they’re finally placed on your chest.

That’s why I love birth photography so much.

I’m not there to turn your birth into a photoshoot. I’m there to quietly document your story as it unfolds — the beautiful, emotional, raw and completely unscripted moments that make up one of the biggest days of your life.

Because while you’re busy living it, someone should be making sure you can look back and remember it. 🤍

From labor to those first tiny breaths, first cries, first touches and the moment you finally get to see the little face you’ve spent months dreaming about… these are photographs that only become more valuable with time.

If you’re expecting and have ever considered having your birth photographed, this is your sign. 🥹

I offer birth photography with on-call availability beginning at 35 weeks so when baby decides it’s time, I’m ready too. 📸

🤰 Expecting in 2026 or 2027?
Comment “BIRTH” below or send me a message and I’ll send you all of my birth photography information. 🤍

𝐒𝐇𝐄’𝐒 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄. 🤎

I’ve been working quietly behind the scenes on something that I am SO excited to finally share with you.

VIP Bo***ir by Hallie Tatge has officially become…

✨ 𝐁𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐇𝐄𝐑 | 𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐃𝐎𝐈𝐑 𝐗 𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐄 ✨
Join here 👉🏼 https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1EMutsDL1H/?mibextid=wwXIfr

This rebrand has been so much more than changing a name or creating a new logo. I wanted this brand to actually feel like what bo***ir means to me.

Becoming Her is about the woman you already are — the confident one, the soft one, the bold one, the woman who deserves to look at herself and think, damn… that’s really me.

And I didn’t stop with the name. 😂

I have spent so much time completely reconstructing my website — rewriting, redesigning, reorganizing my collections, and making sure that when you land there, you can actually get a feel for the experience I want every woman who steps in front of my camera to have.

I’m seriously SO proud of how everything has come together, and I cannot wait for you guys to see it. 🤎

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐄𝐖 𝐖𝐄𝐁𝐒𝐈𝐓𝐄 𝐈𝐒 𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐄: 👇🏼

More than anything, I’m just really excited for this next chapter. I’m ready to create, meet new women, photograph familiar faces again, and give every woman who books with me an experience that reminds her just how freaking beautiful she is.

Here’s to 𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐞𝐫. 🥂🤎

And if you’ve been sitting in this group watching from the sidelines thinking, “maybe one day…”

Maybe this is your sign. 💋

THE MOMENTS YOU WAIT MONTHS FOR. 🇺🇸🤎

There are some moments that deserve more than a phone picture.

The first hug. The tears. The little hands finally holding onto Dad/Mom again. The moment your family is finally back together after counting down what felt like forever. 🥹

Deployment homecomings will forever be some of my favorite moments to photograph because there’s nothing staged about them. It’s pure emotion, exactly as it happens — and those are the memories you’ll want to hold onto forever.

If you have a deployment homecoming coming up, I would absolutely love to be there to capture it for your family. Whether it’s your spouse coming home, your babies running into Mom or Dad’s arms, or your entire family finally reunited, you deserve to have those moments documented. 🇺🇸

📍 Serving Fort Cavazos + surrounding areas

Life has been a little CRAZY lately, and I know I’ve been pretty quiet when it comes to posting, advertising, and sharing my photography. 🤎📸

Between moving, getting settled into our new home, soaking up the last little bit of summer, and getting ready for school to start, photography had to take a little bit of a backseat.

BUTTTT… we’re finally settled, school starts tomorrow, and we are getting back into the groove of things! 🙌🏼

And that means I am SO ready to get back behind my camera and start filling up my schedule again!

I currently have availability for couples, families, maternity, branding, bo***ir, creative shoots, milestones, engagements… honestly, just about anything you can throw at me. 😂👏🏼
