Rowan’s birth day.

r_austin_birth_c-section_photography.jpg
His birth was so calm, so uncomplicated, so bittersweet. His family is about to leave me town 🙁 and it’s going to be tough not to see him and his big sister grow up in person like this anymore. But I’m going to hang onto these moments and I can always say, “I’ve known you since before you were born…”

While I’ve photographed a few c-sections before, I’ve never actually photographed THE c-section until now. What an experience!!! Modern medicine is certainly something to marvel. I couldn’t get over how *fast* it was…beginning to end. Wow! Quite amazing.

So here is the birth of Rowan, shared with permission from his mommy (Google Reader/RSS users…you’ll want to click THIS link to view):

Meet “Tiny.”

tiny_austin_birth_maternity_pregnancy_photographer.jpgAt a mere 10 lbs 6 oz (oh yes, that’s NOT a typo), baby Carter came into this world today just as cute as he could be! If they were to give trophies out at the end of births, his mama certainly deserved one for completing this marathon med free. Beautiful, beautiful and MUCH anticipated birth day.

One. One? Really? Sigh.

Walking up to her at our session this week, I kept tearing up. I was having flashbacks to here…and then to here (sigh)…and then this…and to these from last fall…

fallm_austin_family_photographer.jpgI admit it’s a little tough for me to watch these kiddos grow up. It reminds me of how fast my own children are growing. But it does make me happy that families are documenting each of these milestones in photographs…something I promise they will never regret. It makes me excited to see how much she’s going to change even over the next year. Thank you guys…from the bottom of my heart..it has been a beautiful, beautiful year with you!

last night.

We rode bikes. We enjoyed the beautiful weather. I took snapshots of my kids. I didn’t care that my baby girl wasn’t perfectly coordinated. My middle son learned to ride on two wheels. We added a few more memories to the family memory bank.

He steals my heart *every* time

I.love.this.kid. And his family. It was truly by luck that we were able to squeeze in his newborn session almost a year ago and I’m so happy we did. Oh, did I ever share pics from his 4 month session in November?

da_austin_baby_photographer.jpgSee what I mean???? *Every* time!

Feb Workshop: newborn session

n_austin_newborn_photography_studio.jpg

He just kept making the most adorable faces…he was perfectly alert and then perfectly sleepy. He was almost too good for us! [Workshops are currently full for this year, but you can still follow me on the Pinkle Toes 4 Photographers blog and on Facebook to stay updated in case anything changes].

oh.my.dog.

This session will definitely go down in the books for me. First of all, look at all the littles!!! We were definitely on our toes keeping everyone in the same zip code while we tooled around town, but gosh, we had a blast! Just loving the way mom put together their outfits (so impressive) and the random doggie that showed up in the middle our our shoot ;-). It was mom’s idea to do the ice cream at the end–she definitely took one for the team and the kids were totally thrilled.

The family dynamic here was incredible. The energy was contagious. The love was abundant among the kids AND parents. I truly enjoyed my time with them and reading Tracy’s words about her session/family just made so happy (p.s. Tracy is a wonderful photographer!!!). You’ve got to see the amazing gallery she put together in her home…that’s what really counts…her kids get to walk by there every day and see how much they are loved.

Playing “dodge the rain”

dodge_austin_family_lifestyle_photographer.jpg

I truly wasn’t sure if we were going to be able to pull through this session. Everyone looked beautiful, everyone was in great spirits, it wasn’t too hot or too cold outside, but my word, every time we’d start shooting, it would start sprinkling on us. But I loved that they were up for trying anyway and I think it definitely worked in our favor…ducking under a bridge, some fun shots in the car, a steamy umbrella scene ;-).

Haas.

This boy is 100% pure Texan…from his namesake all the way down to his Radio Flyer wagon:

Just a few favs from his newborn session.

By the way, if you want a holiday family session with Pinkle Toes Photography I have just a few openings for July, August, and September–11 total to be exact and I know there are more than 11 families in Austin ;-). October and November are FULL, full, full. Please don’t wait…now is the time to get on my calendar. Drop a line for session info.
