I can’t imagine a better way to spend this Sunday. Welcome to the world, little Jove. There were many people who were very excited to meet you…especially your big brother. As you can see, you’ve made it to the “Friend Wall” as his new best friend. Such a beautiful entrance this afternoon. Congratulations on this precious bundle!

j_austin_newborn_family_baby_photographer.jpgWe need even more newborn models to be on call for our Feb professional photographer workshops (held in the Pinkle Toes studio in Austin, TX).

If your due date falls between Jan 20th-Feb 20th, we’d love to put you on our call list. If you want to be on call, please fill out THIS FORM. Only submissions via this form will be accepted (not phone calls, not e-mails, not comments, not facebook). If you’ve already submitted this form for the first round, there’s no need to send again.
 
Newborn models (and their mommies and daddies if possible), must be available in the afternoon on at least one of these dates:

  • Thu Feb 10th
  • Thu Feb 24th

Signed model release is required. If selected, models
will receive several images from their session (digital files) as
compensation for their participation. This is an amazing opportunity to
have your newborn portraits done by professional
photographers!

Wanna see more of one of the MOST adorable newborn babies I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with? Okay. You twisted my arm…

If this doesn’t get you into the holiday spirit, then I *know* this will…

z_holiday_austin_baby_lifestyle_photographer.jpgHad a lovely time with this family this morning! I didn’t want to leave…they had Christmas carols going and stunning holiday decorations (mom did it all herself!) and that roaring fire…it was perfect! And, it also makes my heart leap whenever I see things like this in the house:

Since he happens to share a birth day with my daughter, I thought it fitting to re-visit this.

Wow. I’m a little behind on this, huh? I have to say I had a tough time choosing because there have been so many amazing families this fall with some really unique images. I figure that since I’m so late in posting this, I could pick more than one for each month.  [What is Pinkle’s Pic of the Month?]

So, here are the winners for October:

(hey…just noticed there’s a theme there….)

And then, here are the winners for November:

We’ve got one more round of winners to come at the end of December and then in January, it’s voting time again! I can’t wait to see what happens this year!

Congratulations to all of the finalists!

fall_austin_family_photographer.jpg

Fall always has been and always will be my most favorite time of the year. Driving home from my session tonight, there was the most incredible purple and gold and auburn sunset (too bad the session was over) and I thought before we get swept away into the winter holiday season, perhaps we could appreciate the beauty of fall for a second. I decided to put together a collection of my favorite images from this fall so that maybe when we’re all sweltering in the summer next year, we can look back here and feel fresh, and crisp, and warm, and cool, and fuzzy, and hopeful, and thankful all over again…

[Want to see the show bigger?]

abday_austin_kids_photographer.jpgWe’ve only known you for two years, but somehow in that short time, you changed the very core of our family. I can’t help but to smile whenever I talk about you. You have made me enjoy life more, dream bigger, and love more fiercely than I ever have before. You’ve turned your dad into a softy, your oldest bro into a loving guardian, and your other bro into a partner in crime. You turned me into a mother with a daughter…something I feared would never happen.

bday_austin_toddler_photographer2a.jpgYou are all things pink and sparkly.

A fashionista/commedian.

You have a songbird voice with an endearing baby lisp.
You love to sing and listen to music, current faves include “Monkeys Jumping on the Bed,” “ABC’s,” “Baby Bumble Bee,” and “Welcome to the Jungle” (you can thank your Daddy for that.)

Rosebud lips and girly lashes, I love to kiss your cheeks, rosy and warm when you wake from your nap.

You still suck your thumb, love your “Dat,” and have adorable elbow dimples.

You are excruciatingly independent.
You make us read “Pinkalicious,” “Brown Bear, Brown Bear,” and the dog book every day.

You wish you were brave enough to ride a pony.

You love shoes and make-up, but you’re just as rough and tumble as your brothers.
You could watch “Ni Hao Kai-lan” and “Yo Gabba Gabba” all day.
You love to tell “Knock Knock” jokes.
You love to give all of us sweet hugs and kisses and to yell “BOYS! Calm down!” when your brothers are too rowdy.
You’re the boss of us…and I couldn’t be happier.

bday_austin_child_photographer2.jpgYour birth day couldn’t have come at a more appropriate time…we are all incredibly thankful to have you. I love you. Happy Birthday!

She does, too. 🙁

After receiving several concerned e-mails, I figured I’d better post something…anything. Thank you sooooo much for your concern, but we are all just fine here. Just silly busy. I decided a few weeks back that the blog would have to take a break while I tried to keep my head above water over here. I thought I would be relieved to not have the pressure of blogging daily like I had been, but I actually miss it. Oi. It’s killing me to not post all of these sessions…and holiday cards (best batch *ever* this year).

Anyway, thank you again and I can’t wait until things slow down a bit so I can show off all of these absolutely beautiful and FUN families!!!

~M

P.S. I’ve also received several inquiries about booking holiday sessions and fortunately/unfortunately, those are already booked up. I do have some options for New Year’s or I can give you a list of my friend photographers that might be able to help you.

And I feel very blessed to have been able to capture their beauty. As they are.

The hubs texted me today with that blog title. I had to use it ;-). Hope you all had a fun and treat-filled Halloween!
