Archive for 'Austin Newborn'

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.

1) Dogs + babies scare me. Badly. Buuuuuuut I could have worked with those angels all day.
2) The bowl he’s in? I believe that is a bread bowl that belonged to her (great?) grandfather. This is why I love doing newborn sessions in my clients’ homes and why I don’t like to bring my own props…isn’t it so much more meaningful when your images have YOUR stuff in them?
3) Looking forward to hanging with him again in just a few months. Anxious to see how he’s grown!

or even playing in the big leagues, but at least I can say, “I knew him when…” 😉 Three things about this session:

1) I just about passed out when I pulled up to see that beautiful pond in the front yard.
2) The yawning pic was before our session really began…so glad I was fast enough to catch that moment.
3) Before having my own children and before this business, I used to think all babies looked alike. Nowadays, however, if you showed me a picture of every single newborn I’ve ever photographed, I could tell you their name. In this case, you could show me a picture of his daddy and I could still tell you who belonged to him. I could not get over their resemblance!

and say this is as cool as it gets, but I’m a bad liar. It gets way cooler. In fact, this little dude might be the coolest baby on his block. More later 😉

Okay, I’ve just now realized I’m never going to catch up on 2010 blog posts if I keep going at my current pace, so I introduce you to speed blogging which will combine 1) lots of pics and 2) three quick notes about each session. Let’s see how this works for me…

1. LOVED this family’s sense of style (the playroom was amazing!)
2. The guitar playing made my heart melt.
3. The way big sister actually paid attention to her baby sister was quite impressive.

Up until this point, I had never seen anything like this little hoodie made just for her by her grandmother. I loved the way this looked and the sentimental value behind it. Of course, this baby girl can totally carry this style. Actually, with those chubby cheeks and beautiful skin, she can pull off any look…

And hair that puts me to shame. Wow! Not your typical newborn photo shoot…this little lady is ready to be a model!!!

I do.

Long day for our workshop gang, but he was just a little angel! Off to bed to gear up for a full day of shooting tomorrow. Some sunshine would be nice. Nighty night.
