baby’s got her skinny jeans on.”

I’m going to tell on myself here. It was an hour drive out there to meet newborn baby T.  I arrived right on time, jumped out of the car, and ran to the back to grab my camera bag only to find that somehow, in the midst of beanbags, blankets, and session props, the bag never made it to the car.

Oh.

My.

Dog.

t_austin_newborn_photographer.jpgYeah. That pretty much sums up how I felt.

But this beautiful family was soooooooo sweet and understanding (thank you!!!) and my hubby offered to meet me halfway to bring me my stuff, so, things started to look better…

t3_austin_baby_photographer.jpgAhhhhh…now *that’s* more like it.

Mama, I just flipped through the images and you are going to be blown away, I promise (with some especially adorable family pics). Thank you again for being so patient and understanding with my mommy brain today. I’m absolutely smitten with baby T.

[Oh, and a quick note to all my dear photog friends on Facebook…thank YOU for sharing your stories of silly mistakes today. You made me feel so much better!]

I asked for just *five* minutes.
They gave me three.
I only needed one.

Part two of this family’s session a while back. I loved getting to spend time in their colorful home, but it was a lovely treat to venture down to the river where they spend most of their days. They are so at home here!

gift_card_austin_photographer.jpg

Did you know I offer gift cards? Yes. I do! When you purchase a gift, I will send a beautiful little card with a personalized note to your recipient. These are perfect for baby showers, birthday gifts, holidays, you name it! (Just make sure your recipient actually wants/needs a session with me first, however, as gift cards are not refundable).

If you are expecting and have already booked a session with me, you can “register” for your maternity portraits, birth photography, and/or baby’s newborn photo session. I can even send cards to include in shower invitations, etc.

Of course, you could also take this route (my all time fav!).

I was so honored to be asked to capture this family before they moved away from Austin this summer. We explored the city and tried to bottle up everything that makes Austin so special. We celebrated the fact that this was their daughter’s birth place. It was just another one of those perfect Austin evenings, but with a touch of melancholy. I’m sad to see them go…I truly enjoyed the times I’ve spent with them and who knows? Perhaps we’ll get to hang together again someday.

And isn’t baby girl one of the most photogenic kids ever??? Those eyes! Those soulful eyes!

So, we were done in just a little over an hour. And by done, I mean, we got a bazillion rockin’ pictures. These kiddos were just too good to be true! And all this after they drove in from out of state this weekend. Wow! Mom, you should be very, very proud.

As I started designing her album tonight, I realized I never came back to blog the rest of her session. Oh, I’m so behind. Fun to go back and see the happy memories from this day, though.

I have several dresses from this etsy store I need to photograph, but tonight’s light and these beautiful flowers were just calling to me for this one. My model was being sooooo amazingly cooperative. Unfortunately, *I* stepped in bull nettle and had to cut our beautiful mini session way too short.
