The very first time I photographed her family, I felt so connected to them. Now that they are a family of 5, we have even more in common. Her house is SO colorful and creatively decorated. *I* want to live there. I so enjoyed the very lifestyle nature of their session. It was totally relaxed, no preconceived ideas, we just did what families do…

e-austin-family-childrens-lifestyle-photographer.jpgSee what I mean? Look at those yummy colors!!!

e-austin-kids-photographer.jpgVery much looking forward to seeing these two play in front of a crowd someday. I can say I knew them when 😉

e-austin-modern-family-portrait-photography.jpgSigh. I was there forever that night. I didn’t want to leave. We were having such a great time hanging out, playing around, sharing stories, and commiserating about the “joys” of having three kiddos. Erin…I know I’ve told you this before, but your family is amazing and you and Adam have done such a great job as parents. I admire your easy-going nature (even if you claim it wasn’t always so). So glad to have you as a friend, my dear.

Since her newborn session and at 6 months she’s had me wrapped around her adorably chubby little baby fingers. But I’ve become attached to her parents, too…

l2_austin_family_lifestyle_photographer.jpg…and I thoroughly enjoyed exploring their property, where we decided to commemorate her 1 year birthday.

l3_austin_childrens_photographer.jpgOne year of motherhood. And fatherhood…

l4_austin_family_photographer.jpgOne full year as a family of three.

l5_austin_baby_photographer.jpgThey have big plans for this place.  Her daddy says he’s going to build her a tree house right here.

l6_austin_couples_engagement_phhotographer.jpgThey are a wonderfully connected couple.

We were packing up and heading to the car when I noticed this scene…

l7_austin_toddler_photographer.jpg…and then we headed to the house for a few more…

l8_austin_family_lifestyle_baby_photographer.jpgThe one at the top w/ her and her daddy…love (be sure to check out Blake’s beautiful work.) I’d say parenthood looks good on them and they’ve done a wonderful job raising a joyful, charming baby girl.

…just as sweet and beautiful as her parents and complete angel during her entire photo session. I do wonder if she’s going to get her mom’s honey-colored eyes 😉

Sort of a side topic:

Today I learned that Pinkle Toes Photography was nominated as one of Austin’s Best Birth and Best Infant Photographers! First-round voting continues through the end of July (just click the badge–lots of other Austin birth professionals who deserve some recognition, too!). Thanks so much to whoever nominated me. Such an honor!

This family has got some good genes, don’t they??? We had so much fun working together and he had the perfect chubby cheeks. I can’t wait to see if he’s going to have his big sister’s amazing hair!

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.

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.
