One of the things that I find most fascinating is having the opportunity to photograph siblings of past newborn clients. I followed his older sister from newborn to one year and from the second I walked in for his newborn session, I could see the resemblance. It’s AMAZING!!! I can’t wait to see if he ends up with his big sis’s beautiful locks, too.

As if it was the “yang” to this “yin,” we celebrated his 1 year birthday by seeing just how much color we could find in downtown Austin. We truly did not have to go far–that’s just one of the many, many things I love about this city…it is so rich with vibrant color and texture! He was so expressive and that boy TORE into his cupcake. Lucky for us, there was a hose nearby where we could clean up our mess. Probably one of my favorite parts of the session was watching mom and dad work together on that task as a team.

Sometimes, you can strip away all of the color and hip, Austin backgrounds and wind up with something so simple, yet so beautiful. A little green oasis tucked away in Austin with a warm, glowing sunrise made for the perfect playground for this family photo session. They looked beautiful!

I may or may not of squealed in delight when his mama said she wanted his 1 year session to be Mad Men inspired (p.s. have you all seen the new Mad Men collection at Banana Republic? Brilliant marketing, there!) It was a dream, really, and we found the neatest little places around town in which to shoot…Bev gets major bonus points for having the courage to march right in and ask! Hard to believe it was more than a year ago when Miles got to go home for the first time…
Incredible kid and incredible family.

They had *just* moved into their new home…in the midst of all that, their little guy surprised them quite early. Mom was worried because the house wasn’t furnished or decorated yet. I was elated to have this blank canvas with which to work. And he was a sweet little superstar at his debut photo session!

Just like with their maternity photo session, I left their home thinking, “Wow, you’re not going to meet a nicer couple.” Truly. Patient, kind, full of joy, everything about them was so calming to me. And it transferred right over to their beautiful new baby girl. That’s probably my favorite part about this job…I LOVE getting to meet so many nice, good hearted people, and now, the world is +1.

about it being 100+ degrees outside:
it makes for super, happy, relaxed little newborn babies. Isn’t she adorable? And I couldn’t get over that perfect little pout!!!Aug 25, 2011
This session had it all…
…three adorable children with a super wonderful, loving mama…
…family snuggles and special time just for dad + daughter…
…a piano prodigy, funny songs made up to Nirvana tunes by dad, headstands on a funky purple couch, lush green grass where mom and dad could rest for spell…
…bikes and wagons…
…sprinklers and watermelon…
…and even me! P.S. Remember the story about the bottom left photo? I still laugh about that.
It was such a pleasure to get to capture this family doing all the things they love to do together. Can’t wait to put together their album, too! I LOVE making albums and knowing that the images are going to go together to tell the story…the pictures are going to get looked at and remembered time and time again. Makes my heart happy!

Her big bro was a little firecracker. They balance each other out 😉
I’ve really been enjoying lifestyle newborn sessions like this. It’s not about the latest prop or the coolest blanket or headband. It’s about a family just being a family and pulling in elements of their current circumstances into the images so they can always remember these early, fleeting days.
