I could have *sworn* I had already blogged his newborn pictures (scroll down here for baby-in-belly;-), but evidently, I haven’t (or if I have, just smile and nod.) This may very well have to be noted as one of the coolest newborns ever. And of course when I walked in and saw the giant “Where the Wild Things Are” monster, well…

This is so my life (well, sans baby bump).

and appreciate how much time is actually put into a session–before, during, and after. In looking through these, I know how each image is special for it’s own reasons. And then when you think that these are only a handful of the images that have been created so far this year–not just by me, but by every other person who owns a camera–wow! This digital age is truly something beyond comprehension!

Want to see a birth? [Google Reader peeps…you’ll have to actually click the link to view]:

1) This was the first time that I actually arrived at the hospital *before* the expecting parents. I was so afraid I had gone to the wrong hospital or something. It was really neat to get to capture literally *everything* from beginning to end.
2) She was brave. Very, very brave.
3) I love how baby girl’s brother and sisters were all so excited to see her. It’s easy to tell she was loved even before she officially arrived.

[I have only two openings left for birth photography in Austin for 2011. Check out the session openings page for dates.

Sometimes, when you have a toddler at home, it’s nice to treat yourself to a few minutes away to revel in this new life getting ready to enter the world. I’m glad you came out today…you look radiant!

We’ve opened up FOUR more workshops for members of  Pinkle Toes 4 Photographers this summer! (See that link for more info.)  And now, speaking of workshops, gotta run to get the house ready for our next group to arrive tomorrow! It has been a blast meeting photographers from all over the world!

[We had a huge response to our model call and are currently closed for applications. Thanks!]

I’m a sucker for Valentine’s Day. I know it’s all so commercial, but I can’t help it. I love the colors, I love the sentiment, I loved making valentines and valentine mailboxes, I loved the excitement of wondering if I had any secret admirers growing up (turns out I didn’t, but still… ;-), I love that my mom always had a special little treat waiting for us downstairs when we woke in the morning, and I love that I get to carry on that tradition with my kiddos.

I also love hearts. Especially bokeh hearts. And I love getting to work with two people who are very much IN love. And I love the anticipation of wondering who that new little person will be…

That’s just craziness.

First, we started out indoors for some natural light work…

austin_maternity_portraits_studio.jpgAren’t they so lovely together? I’m very much looking forward to meeting that baby in a few months! [As with all Xpressions sessions, these images have only received basic adjustments to color/contrast, but no full retouching]

And with this rain, we were so lucky to have the studio space! This couple couldn’t be more lovely or more fun to work with and I cannot wait to meet their sweet baby girl in a few months. Thanks to you both for making the trip today and being up for anything.

XOXO,
M
