Archive for 'Austin Baby'
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):
At 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.
I 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!
See what I mean???? *Every* time!
This boy is 100% pure Texan…from his namesake all the way down to his Radio Flyer wagon:
which was an absolute BLAST:
But I realized I hadn’t yet shared his 9 month session:
We were all so happy…so joyful…so eager to celebrate this little man’s birth! There were so many tears all around. Notice the one in his grandmother’s eye. We actually had to stop the session several times because we were so caught up in it all. I told them I would *never* be able to finish the session if we didn’t collect ourselves, but once the waterworks turned on, we were all goners. This one makes me giggle:
(I wish someone could have gotten all of us in the frame…you can’t see my own tissue 😉
But these last two images really captured the vibe of that morning for me. I was photographing dad and his boy and I could literally *feel* the gaze of mom back there. The love was so intense…so palatable. Wow. It got me. Still gets me.
November is almost, too,
Book your holiday session now,
Or you’ll be blue.
We can hold it in July
Or August is neat.
For a full session those months,
You’ll get a special treat.
Obviously I’m tired,
And my poetry is lame.
But without family pictures,
Your cards simply won’t be the same.
