during this newborn session that I will never forget. It had been cold for quite sometime and on this day, it was nice and warm. Mom and dad were playing with the baby on the bed and we unwrapped him from his blanket. It was as if they were unwrapping a gift. It was incredible to be there to watch them as they got to explore their son’s newborn-ness for the first time. They were lost in their own world…peeking at tiny toes, noticing those little lashes, the way his belly moved when he breathed. It was magical.

….what a room full of women and an adorable baby sounds like? Actually, a lot like a baby shower. If I had a dollar for every “oooooohh” and “awwwwww” this little man solicited from his watchful crowd, well, let’s just say I’d be sitting pretty.

Thankful to have been introduced to yet another amazing group of photographer ladies today at our workshop and I’m very much looking forward to spending tomorrow shooting for and with them!

but only if it’s NOT windy and if you’re not around any cactus. We had all these big plans for the balloons and quite literally we lost all but one within minutes of going outside. Oh well. She managed to be an adorable little ham without them.

They flew in from out of town. She said she loved Austin. She said she loved the Hotel San Jose. She said this was just to celebrate her birthday. She had style and grace and this classic, unassuming beauty. The connection between the two of them made me so excited to see their future together play out.

No, seriously…LOVED this session:

came by the studio a few months ago to show off his pushing up skills. Still has the BEST hair on any baby EVER (need more proof?) and I’m very much looking forward to seeing what new tricks he has up his sleeves for me when we get together again next month.

…I’m guessing she has officially graduated and moved on to all of the incredible things that await her life after high school. She’s got it all, that’s for sure…sharp as can be, confident, a stunning, natural beauty, and a go-getter. It was a real treat to meet her and work with her this spring.

I’ve had a daughter for 2.5 years now, but for some strange reason, I still think of myself first as a “mom to boys.” That relationship is very special to me and I’m immediately drawn to images of moms and their sons. I was so thrilled when Christi asked me to photograph her family and I loved watching how she interacted with her boys. She loves them both equally, but differently. She appreciates their individual personalities and is simply amazing at letting them both shine their own lights. She is a beautiful matriarch ;-).
