I'm a sucker for Valentine's Day. I know it's all so commercial, but I can't help it. I love the colors, I love the sentiment, I loved making valentines and valentine mailboxes, I loved the excitement of wondering if I had any secret admirers growing up (turns out I didn't, but still... ;-), I love that my mom always had a special little treat waiting for us downstairs when we woke in the morning, and I love that I get to carry on that tradition with my kiddos.

I also love hearts. Especially bokeh hearts. And I love getting to work with two people who are very much IN love. And I love the anticipation of wondering who that new little person will be...

 I.
did.
a.
session.
in.
my.
studio.

That's just craziness.

First, we started out indoors for some natural light work...

austin_maternity_portraits_studio.jpgAren't they so lovely together? I'm very much looking forward to meeting that baby in a few months! [As with all Xpressions sessions, these images have only received basic adjustments to color/contrast, but no full retouching]

And with this rain, we were so lucky to have the studio space! This couple couldn't be more lovely or more fun to work with and I cannot wait to meet their sweet baby girl in a few months. Thanks to you both for making the trip today and being up for anything.

XOXO,
M

I feel like it's been a while since I've been able to do a maternity session in downtown Austin. Too bad because it's the PERFECT place to take fun, edgy, carefree, urban maternity portraits. Lucky me, because I also had these two (three?) who were just as into the session as I was!

I can't imagine a better way to spend this Sunday. Welcome to the world, little Jove. There were many people who were very excited to meet you...especially your big brother. As you can see, you've made it to the "Friend Wall" as his new best friend. Such a beautiful entrance this afternoon. Congratulations on this precious bundle!
