In case you didn't hear, .emme. boudoir (ie. me and my makeup artist friend, Katie) is offering Sweetheart mini sessions and just in time for Valentine's Day. Want more info?
[A little hint...this would make for a really fun and unique maternity portrait session. I'm just sayin'.]
...catches the most incredible light EVER!!! People cringe whenever I suggest a sunrise session, but oh, it's so worth it. All of these images (with the exception of the two black and whites) are straight out of the camera...that's how good the light was to us.
It has been such a pleasure getting to know this beautiful couple and I'm thrilled to photograph the birth of their sweet baby in just a few short weeks.
I know every parent hopes that their children will be the best of friends when they are little and when they grow up. Sometimes, it takes a little while for those positive sibling relationships to develop (as in the case of my two boys, LOL), but every now and then some parents are very lucky to observe a sibling bond that forms instantly (as in the case of these two sisters). I hope they treasure their closeness because it is quite a beautiful and rare thing to see so early.
Oh, just realized I hadn't blogged the images from their maternity session yet either. It was sooooooo windy that day, but they stuck it out anyway. Well worth it!!
Even though I'd spent hours going through the images and designing the album, my heart fluttered with both sadness and joy as I flipped through the pages when it arrived on my doorstep. The album features the maternity pictures, his beautiful birth day photos, and his perfect little newborn session (below). While it was incredibly rewarding to see it all tied together like that, it also meant that that particular "trilogy" was over. I've mentioned before that this beautiful family is leaving Austin soon and I don't know why, but it really hits me hard when I think about it. I've been working with them since before the birth of their first baby a few years ago. Feels like I'm going to be saying goodbye to good friends. *Fortunately,* I get one last fix this fall before they're off to make a new life up north. And equally fortunate, we can stay in touch via Facebook.
Okay. I'm done moping now. Here are a few photos from his newborn session...

Pretty is definitely the first word that comes to mind when I think of this session. This was from way back when it used to rain here. In fact, I think we actually had to reschedule because of rain which was a little risky since they had traveled in from New Mexico. Meg is a VERY busy and VERY talented and now VERY pregnant photographer ;-). I just LOVE her work and I'm so excited to have a new photog to inspire me. We really hit it off and I very much enjoyed working with her. We had actually made plans to get together again in New Mexico this fall, but we have since tabled our RV trip (boooo :-(. I'm so excited to "see" their new baby boy when he makes his arrival!
