I have to admit it: now that I have a baby girl of my own, I'm a sucker for pics of dads and daughters. Just look at that adoration on dad's face in this image and how comfy his baby girl looks resting in his arms! Congrats to you guys!

Now for some more images from their fantastic and adorable newborn session:

Such an incredible spring day in Austin...everything is greening up and in bloom, birds are chirping, and my word, babies are being born left and right. It was a wonderful change to get to do most of his newborn pictures outside. And he LOVED it!

Dog tired right now, but I just *had* to get a sneaky peek up for mama tonight because I know she's anxiously awaiting it. M...he is the perfect addition to your little family. So lovely to have watched it grow over the years like this.

He was so new and so teeny and I know he has made my dear friend and her hubby so very happy. Such a pleasure to get to hang out with them one morning and capture all of this newness and wonder. There came a point in the session where I had to force myself to put the camera away because I seriously could have stayed there all day.

This little one came into the world today wide-eyed and ready for anything. I don't know if I've ever seen a newborn so alert and yet so calm. Congrats to his mama and daddy! I hope you guys are getting some much deserved rest.

I can't believe I haven't had a chance to blog the session of our Helping Hearts for Haiti winners! Lyndsay posted her images the other day...don't you just love the connections she got between those two? It was truly a blast, prancing around downtown Austin, finding light in the most unusual places.  I was only supposed to edit 15-20 images for this session. I happily failed. Here...check them all out:
