So thrilled to have started this exciting new project with Baby Coco. Every so often, we’ll be featuring fabulous nurseries meticulously put together by Baby Coco and their clients. Such a joy to get to meet new people, hang out in beautiful spaces, and of course, play with ADORABLE babies! I just love seeing all the details that make a baby’s nursery so special and I can’t wait to see where Cheyenne asks me to go next.

Call for Austin area baby models: I’m currently looking for a baby girl about 3-5 months old who is available the morning of June 20th at 6:45 a.m. to do a quick session for Baby Cakes Scottsdale. Signed model release is required. In exchange for use of the images, you will receive low res copies of the edited images, a beautiful baby blanket ($100 value) and 1/2 off the Creative Fee for a 2010 Premium Session with me! Not a bad deal, huh?  Interested applicants need to complete this form and send a fairly recent picture of your baby (doesn’t need to be professional) to me. Deadline to apply is Monday, June 14th.

Side note, for random and mostly useless info about me, check out my recent interview on The Creative Mama.

Stay cool!

Baby Boy S

Born today at 28 weeks 5 days

2 lbs. 3 oz.

What a whirlwind entrance into this world and induction into parenthood! He and his mama are both so brave. Dad is a rock. Baby boy is perfection in a little, teeny, tiny bundle. I hope everyone is getting some much deserved rest tonight. There is indeed a long journey ahead. Congratulations on your beautiful new family!

We melted and we couldn’t get up.

Seriously cookin’ at tonight’s session, but hey, we got family pictures with EVERYONE in the frame, so I’d say it was a success! Thanks for putting up with the heat and location change guys.

austin_family_photographer.jpgAustin is losing such a super cool family, so we had a little photo session to help commemorate their best memories of Austin. Best of luck to you all in Dallas and Austin will miss you!

[I first met this beautiful family at an Xpressions session when she was only 6 months old – see pics 7 & 8. Our next one is coming up on June 20th and we have 2 early morning openings left. You absolutely cannot beat early morning sessions…cool, refreshing, amazing light. Come play! Especially all of those mommies due in August…it’s a perfect time to capture those maternity portraits before the summer really sets in.]

fam_austin_newborn_photographer.jpg(First official). These were some of the very first shots of the day. And, believe it or not, they only get better and better after this. Oh, and check out how much mom and dad rocked out her nursery:

She was perfectly joyful today, in spite of heat, mosquitoes, and an older brother who LOVES to love her.

Technically, I wasn’t really in a position to book this session when mommy sent me a note. My schedule was booked, booked, booked, but then, a lucky break and I was able to drive out to San Antonio one day. So very worth the trip! I was admittedly nervous because she was already 4 weeks old at the time, but wow, she was amazing!!!! Loved all the color and those big blue eyes!

Okay, I’ll be the first to admit, this one had a tough start. This beautiful family ventured out quite a ways for our session and older bro fell asleep in the car. Understandably so, he was not thrilled with being awakened and then having to walk out into this field in the middle of nowhere. Oh my goodness, we tried *everything* and I mean everything to cheer him up, but it just wasn’t working. I started to get scared because the sun was setting fast and we had already been out there about 20-30 min and I wasn’t able to get much at all.

Finally I just decided to invite the whole crew back to my house for some drinks and snacks and Legos. Both boys brightened up at that idea and it actually turned out to be a lovely evening for us all (well, if you don’t count the mosquitoes). We drug out the old purple couch into the bluebonnets in my yard and in between crackers and Lego creations, we managed to pull off a photo shoot before the sun set. Fresca saves the day once again!!!

You’d think she lead a miserable existence. In reality, her days are spent playing with her big brothers, snuggling with mom and dad, reading, singing, clapping, trying on shoes, and basically being waited on hand and adorable little foot. Poor, pitiful princess.
