[isn't he cute? | austin child photographer]

I just had to share.

[fantastic four | austin family portrait photographer]

This family of four is uber special because big sister happens to be one of my little guy’s friends AND mama happens to be a photographer, too! I always feel very special when photographers ask me to take their family pictures.

Ah! Such cuties!

Thank you, friends, for spending Saturday morning with me!

[the awesome nixons | austin family photographer]

Meet the awesome Nixons. They have four children and an exchange student that is also totally awesome. They moved to Austin from Phoenix (woo hoo!). They are both organized and creative, which still makes my head spin. And we had a lot of fun walking around downtown last weekend.

Hello pretty lady!

Thank you, friends, for letting [...]

[meet mae piper | austin newborn photographer]

This is Mae Piper. She is three days old. She came so fast that her mommy’s midwife didn’t make it in time, and her daddy delivered her! (No, I am not kidding.) She already follows sound with her eyes. She is a little firecracker… and her momma’s not intimidated. She’s the youngest of four, and [...]

[awaiting little sister | austin maternity photographer]

This was such a fun session! Big brother in waiting is just adorable… as you can see! And here I am amazed at another stunning mommy-to-be who is eight months along! *sigh* My favorite part about this session is all of the cute family moments!

Life unposed! Love the lighting… and the laughter…

And some with the [...]

[Good golly {ms. mollie} | austin maternity photographer]

First, I want to say that this is exactly how I looked when I was eight months pregnant. Okay, not so much! A few too many Oreos for me. I was so very thrilled to do a maternity session with my photographer friend, Mollie. It’s always fun to drag photographers out from behind their camera! I think [...]

[I just don't know what to say | austin family photographer]

Let’s just say that I ADORE the pictures from this session! 

Waving hello!

All done playing with the stick!

I know it’s not perfect in many ways, but this is one of my favorite pictures from the session:

Now, surely after all of these pictures, this little guy was too tired and cranky for more… right? Well, no. And [...]

[what I hope he remembers | austin child photographer]

When my son was born so many moms with grown kids told me to enjoy each day, because the days will go by quickly. Each time I heard this I thought that they were crazy. That first year was the l-o-n-g-e-s-t year of my life, but they told me so firmly and so assuredly that [...]

[two birthday boys | austin kids birthday party photographer]

Saturday brought a super hero birthday party for two adorable little boys! The day was spent at WAYA tumbling, jumping, and balancing away!

What’s better than cupcakes on a parachute?

And what’s better than singing happy birthday underneath the parachute?

The birthday boys!

And every super hero needs a cape – what a great favor!

[fun no matter what | austin lifestyle photography]

Halfway to this session it started to rain. I got in my car in t-shirt weather and got out in scarf and glove weather (gotta love Texas!)… was a little concerned about the gloom meaning doom, but to my delight, this is the type of family who will have fun no matter what!
These two are [...]
