I told mom tonight that my face literally hurt when I was editing these pics...I couldn't stop smiling!!! These people make me happy. Their energy, enthusiasm, and zest for life is contagious, I swear. This has to be my favorite session with them to date, but it's hard to commit 100% (remember this? Of course, I can't for the life of me locate his newborn blog post, but that was a blast, too.) Doesn't matter. What does matter is that they've got a fantastic family connection and a bazillion pictures to preserve those memories forever.
Speaking of, if you want to preserve your memories in 2012, there's a little bonus incentive to book your session NOW. Running out of spaces much faster than I thought...
UPDATE 11/22/11 - ALL SPOTS ARE FULL!
Sitting in music class one day, the daughter of a soon-to-be friend of mine was wearing the most adorable shirt...come to find out, the woman who made it lives right here in Austin. And then one day, that woman just happened to contact me to see if I'd be wiling to photograph some of her pieces. Um, YES please!!!
Now, go check out Oh Fiddlesticks. Really hip and unique clothing for girls AND boys (which is definitely hard to find)!! Rockin' bags by Merah Muda.
All three kids are finally the perfect ages now. They get the idea of Halloween...we don't have to carry anyone while Trick-or-Treating...they're not too old/cool...they still have that sense of wonder and magic about the whole thing. And even better, my mom and sis live in the same town so we can stop by for a surprise visit. Love, love, love it!!!
I've been working with them since the littlest one was born two years ago (scroll down to "Emmeline's Birth"). They do everything together as a family and they embody the new word I just made up for the title of this post..."familiness." It was such a treat to explore their home and see all of the projects the kids had been working on over the year. And as the sun was setting, we went out for a walk in the woods behind their home...oh the weather was perfection and it was obvious that the children are completely comfortable there. Such an enjoyable evening--my hubby even came out to play and take some pics!
