A day in the park {Austin Kids Photographer}

Thursday, March 22, 2012

Oh my goodness, where to start? This cutie pie is the grand daughter of good friends of ours. It seems like we’ve been planning this shoot ever since she was born. I am so glad I finally got to meet her and capture her in this fabulous stage of toddler hood. I knew she was a cutie but I realized pretty quick how beautiful she really is and I was stunned by it. From her perfectly almond shaped dark and sparkly eyes to those beautiful lips that look like they’ve just been outlined with lip liner to those adorable bouncy pig tails. And that little curl sticking up from the side, that just gets me! I seriously don’t think she could be any more adorable!

I loved this session so much (despite the extra humid and HOT spring morning) because we just let her do whatever she enjoys so her personality really came out and I think we’ve got so many happy candid moments captured.

Imagine how hard it was to narrow down the images from this session. Yep, almost impossible. So I apologize in advance for the length of this post. Pretty sure though she’ll capture your heart just as easily and you won’t be able to stop looking

Oh the faces he makes {Austin Baby Photographer}

Wednesday, March 21, 2012

His 6 month session was on a chilly morning but it did not dampen his spirits. He was pretty happy wherever we went and made the most adorable faces. Gosh, I love this age when their personalities start to shine! He did so amazing sitting up by himself, such a strong little man. I loved the way he was wringing his chubby little hands and of course there’s nothing more adorable than the way they play with their toes at this age. I hope you can stand all this squishy baby goodness!

The Princess and the Pea {Austin Newborn Photographer}

Wednesday, March 14, 2012

I keep meaning to post images from this newborn shoot earlier this year. I had such a blast with big sister, she’s wildly entertaining. I wish I could replay the little things she said. Normally, the toddler/newborn combo can cause a bit of photographer jitters. Just take the unpredictability of a newborn and combine it with the unpredictability of a toddler and you’ll see what I mean.But for this shoot everything turned out just fine in the end. We had our hurdles, such as when baby boy just simply did not want to be put down or fall asleep even after an extensive nursing session. Or when big sister decided that dress that mom had picked out wasn’t going to cut it and she’d rather go without clothing just sporting a hat.

With a bit of patience and improvisation we got it all worked out in the end. Kudos to mom and dad for being flexible when it came to Miss L. clothing choices. In the end a brand new princess dress that was supposed to be a birthday present saved us from a serious toddler tantrum and made for some darling sibling shots!

On another note, I was amazed how gentle big sis was with her baby brother. She was holding him so well and didn’t even get frazzled when he got a little restless in her arms. If that’s an outlook to things to come, she is going to be an awesome big sister.

I got a little teary eyed looking through these images, just reminded me so much of my little girlie holding her baby brother just like that. SIGH, where does time go???

Sometimes you just need a Do Over {Austin Kids Photographer}

Wednesday, March 14, 2012

I’ve known this little one since birth and when we met for her 1 year session a couple of weeks ago things were a little off. Not sure what it was, the weather, the scene but Miss T. wasn’t quite herself when we met that morning. We’ve pulled out all of our stops to try and make her smile but she just wasn’t having any of it that day. Looking back at the images I was surprised we’ve got some little smirks from her but when she had a full blown meltdown right in the middle of South Congress both mom and I knew it was time to call it quits for the day.

She came to the studio a few days later and what a difference! HUGE “light up the sun” smiles and she was so much happier. That just proves that sometimes you just need a “reset” button and give it a fresh start. I love this family so much!!
