....what a room full of women and an adorable baby sounds like? Actually, a lot like a baby shower. If I had a dollar for every "oooooohh" and "awwwwww" this little man solicited from his watchful crowd, well, let's just say I'd be sitting pretty.

Thankful to have been introduced to yet another amazing group of photographer ladies today at our workshop and I'm very much looking forward to spending tomorrow shooting for and with them!

The creamiest complexion, lips TDF, and *just* enough baby chub. Her daddy is also a pretty skilled photographer...just LOVE that canvas he created for his wifey up there.

They flew in from out of town. She said she loved Austin. She said she loved the Hotel San Jose. She said this was just to celebrate her birthday. She had style and grace and this classic, unassuming beauty. The connection between the two of them made me so excited to see their future together play out.

No, seriously...LOVED this session:

a talented designer.
a good friend.
a wonderful mother.
a beautiful person.
blessed with an amazing family.

I've had a daughter for 2.5 years now, but for some strange reason, I still think of myself first as a "mom to boys." That relationship is very special to me and I'm immediately drawn to images of moms and their sons. I was so thrilled when Christi asked me to photograph her family and I loved watching how she interacted with her boys. She loves them both equally, but differently. She appreciates their individual personalities and is simply amazing at letting them both shine their own lights. She is a beautiful matriarch ;-).
