Archive for 'Austin Kids'
Jun 13, 2012
I was feeling somewhat caught up and ahead of the game tonight. Then I made the mistake of looking through the archives and realized there were about 30+ sessions from last year that I had yet to blog. To which I replied, “Well, hmph.”
At least now we’re at 29+.

Pop on over to The Creative Mama today! (There’s a free download, too!)
When I sat down to think about it, I’ve known this lovely lady for nearly a decade. In fact, she and I were pregnant with our first sons at the same time. We both had our 2nd sons at about the same time. We both had little girls at about the same time. She is a true lady in every sense of the word and she mothers her children with a grace that I could never emulate but absolutely admire. I’m so glad I finally got the chance to work with her like this and to capture the wonderful connections in her family! (Check out my personal fav from this session!)

These guys are no strangers to the Pinkle Toes blog and I can’t even begin to tell you how it makes me feel to think that most of my blog posts are of repeat clients. It is truly a privilege to get to watch these kiddos grow up. Love this tradition of having everyone there for his birthday (just like his big sis) and I LOVE that we sat him on the table with his cake (just like his sis). It was a very happy day! (Click to see my two personal favs from this session bigger HERE and HERE;-).

Golden, hazy sunrise.
Bubbling creek,
Giggles and shrieks.
Bears, blankets, wagons, and sparkles.
Sunday morning church bells.
Tears of trepidation,
Of happiness.
Adopted.
Loved.
So very loved.
A most memorable session yesterday where I felt like I was literally witnessing a family become a family.
In true Austin fashion, there was some event going on at the park when we met for our photo session that day. Parking…oh lovely parking. Well, let’s just say it wasn’t easy to snag a spot. But we pushed forward–all the way forward to the really, REALLY LOUD live music that happened to be there. We were shouting at each other to try and communicate. It was rather comical. But again, they pushed on through and managed to keep a great sense of humor. The pics of mom and her cubs…oh my…

Since we’ve already started getting into the 90’s around here in these parts, we naturally assumed that a sunrise session would be the perfect temperature and not too hot. Silly us. I think it had just barely reached 50 this particular morning and bless his heart, it was all we could do to keep him warm. We would take a few pictures, mom would wrap him in his blanket, he’d warm up, we’d take a couple more, rinse and repeat. He was such a trooper and every now and then, he would treat us all once again to his infectious smile.
while the rest of us watch a movie. He has *always* always marched to the beat of his own drum. I have *always* always admired that about him. I am proud of him.
