It’s starting to hit me…

I.
did.

session.
in.
my.
studio.

That’s just craziness.

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

Then we decided to venture outside after the rain let up briefly:

And then back inside to play with lights!

Aren’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]

Milestone: First official studio session today!

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

The pregnant glow.

I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve been able to do a maternity session in downtown Austin. Too bad because it’s the PERFECT place to take fun, edgy, carefree, urban maternity portraits. Lucky me, because I also had these two (three?) who were just as into the session as I was!

Joy = Jove.

I can’t imagine a better way to spend this Sunday. Welcome to the world, little Jove. There were many people who were very excited to meet you…especially your big brother. As you can see, you’ve made it to the “Friend Wall” as his new best friend. Such a beautiful entrance this afternoon. Congratulations on this precious bundle!

fall.

Fall always has been and always will be my most favorite time of the year. Driving home from my session tonight, there was the most incredible purple and gold and auburn sunset (too bad the session was over) and I thought before we get swept away into the winter holiday season, perhaps we could appreciate the beauty of fall for a second. I decided to put together a collection of my favorite images from this fall so that maybe when we’re all sweltering in the summer next year, we can look back here and feel fresh, and crisp, and warm, and cool, and fuzzy, and hopeful, and thankful all over again…

Seeking Maternity AND Newborn Models – ON HOLD

*Due to an overwhelming response, we’re putting this call on hold until further notice. Please do not apply until we re-open the call. Thank you!*

Are you pregnant and due in Feb or Mar 2011? Or do you have a baby due in late Dec 2010 or early Jan 2011? Pinkle Toes Photography is looking for a few maternity and newborn baby models for our professional photographer workshops being held at the studio in Austin, TX in January 2011.

– Maternity models must be available Sat Jan 15th and/or Sat.Jan 22nd.
– Newborn models must be available Thu Jan 13th and/or Thu Jan 20th.
– Signed model release required.

Models will receive several images from their session (digital files) as compensation for their participation. This is an amazing opportunity to have your maternity or newborn portraits done by professional photographers!

Speaking of models, how about that beautiful baby girl up there?? Since I used her picture just now, I figured it would be a great time to blog the rest of her AMAZING newborn session:

[If my memory serves me correctly, I believe they ordered a 16×20 of the black and white bunny ears pic. How cool is that???]

First look.

To a wedding photographer, “First Look” means photos of the bride and groom when they first see each other. To a birth photographer…well, “First Look” is something a teeny bit different…
