2. We didn’t know it at the time, but that sweet baby girl was battling some kind of awful sickness that landed her in the hospital for a bit. She’s all recovered now, but poor thing…I can’t believe she put up with the session in spite of her not feeling well. I look forward to getting to work with her again when she’s her normal, happy self.
3. Her mommy has the.best.hair.ever. She’s better than a Breck girl.
1. Seriously the most smiley baby I have ever met. Ever. No matter what we did, he just seemed to feel the need to smile and I dig that about him.
2. Have I told you how much I enjoy working with this family? Well, just in case I haven’t, I’ll tell you again.
3. In the pics below, you’ll see little man snuggled in a basket. I can’t even begin to describe what we went through to get that shot, but let us take a moment to pause and appreciate our efforts.
More pics:
1) This was the first time that I actually arrived at the hospital *before* the expecting parents. I was so afraid I had gone to the wrong hospital or something. It was really neat to get to capture literally *everything* from beginning to end.
2) She was brave. Very, very brave.
3) I love how baby girl’s brother and sisters were all so excited to see her. It’s easy to tell she was loved even before she officially arrived.
[I have only two openings left for birth photography in Austin for 2011. Check out the session openings page for dates.
2) The bowl he’s in? I believe that is a bread bowl that belonged to her (great?) grandfather. This is why I love doing newborn sessions in my clients’ homes and why I don’t like to bring my own props…isn’t it so much more meaningful when your images have YOUR stuff in them?
3) Looking forward to hanging with him again in just a few months. Anxious to see how he’s grown!
1) I just about passed out when I pulled up to see that beautiful pond in the front yard.
2) The yawning pic was before our session really began…so glad I was fast enough to catch that moment.
3) Before having my own children and before this business, I used to think all babies looked alike. Nowadays, however, if you showed me a picture of every single newborn I’ve ever photographed, I could tell you their name. In this case, you could show me a picture of his daddy and I could still tell you who belonged to him. I could not get over their resemblance!
So, we returned from our little weekend getaway to Great Wolf Lodge only to come home to 2-3 inches of standing water in the studio and my husband’s office (a pipe burst). Fortunately, most everything is okay–even my camera bag that was sitting IN WATER…somehow, my camera and lenses made it out alive. However, the floor is going to have to be replaced and that means we’re relegated to a small corner of the studio for now. Please try to be patient with us as we work to get everything back to normal (ha) around here.
