Fall always has been and always will be my most favorite time of the year. Driving home from my session tonight, there was the most incredible purple and gold and auburn sunset (too bad the session was over) and I thought before we get swept away into the winter holiday season, perhaps we could appreciate the beauty of fall for a second. I decided to put together a collection of my favorite images from this fall so that maybe when we're all sweltering in the summer next year, we can look back here and feel fresh, and crisp, and warm, and cool, and fuzzy, and hopeful, and thankful all over again...

Are you pregnant and due in Feb or Mar 2011? Or do you have a baby due in late Dec 2010 or early Jan 2011? Pinkle Toes Photography is looking for a few maternity and newborn baby models for our professional photographer workshops being held at the studio in Austin, TX in January 2011.

- Maternity models must be available Sat Jan 15th and/or Sat.Jan 22nd.
- Newborn models must be available Thu Jan 13th and/or Thu Jan 20th.
- Signed model release required.

Models will receive several images from their session (digital files) as compensation for their participation. This is an amazing opportunity to have your maternity or newborn portraits done by professional photographers!

Speaking of models, how about that beautiful baby girl up there?? Since I used her picture just now, I figured it would be a great time to blog the rest of her AMAZING newborn session:

To a wedding photographer, "First Look" means photos of the bride and groom when they first see each other. To a birth photographer...well, "First Look" is something a teeny bit different...

Difficult to believe this will be baby #4 for her because she's cute as a button!
