A lot. In spite of the 100+ degree heat that day, we managed to have a blast. Dad-to-be said, “I’ll do anything you ask me to…I’ll even stand on my head.” Okay. You got it! Anxious to meet their baby girl next month…equally excited to see the “antique beach themed nursery.”

I kid you not. She is so very beautiful and I seriously don’t know how she does it. I’m on pins and needles waiting for THE phone call when we all get to meet those little babies.

When she first walked into the studio, I had to do a double take. “You are indeed pregnant, right?” because she was the tiniest little thing I’d ever seen. Thank goodness for this wrap shirt to help show off that adorable little bump.

His birth was so calm, so uncomplicated, so bittersweet. His family is about to leave me town 🙁 and it’s going to be tough not to see him and his big sister grow up in person like this anymore. But I’m going to hang onto these moments and I can always say, “I’ve known you since before you were born…”

While I’ve photographed a few c-sections before, I’ve never actually photographed THE c-section until now. What an experience!!! Modern medicine is certainly something to marvel. I couldn’t get over how *fast* it was…beginning to end. Wow! Quite amazing.

So here is the birth of Rowan, shared with permission from his mommy (Google Reader/RSS users…you’ll want to click THIS link to view):

tiny_austin_birth_maternity_pregnancy_photographer.jpgAt a mere 10 lbs 6 oz (oh yes, that’s NOT a typo), baby Carter came into this world today just as cute as he could be! If they were to give trophies out at the end of births, his mama certainly deserved one for completing this marathon med free. Beautiful, beautiful and MUCH anticipated birth day.

Walking up to her at our session this week, I kept tearing up. I was having flashbacks to here…and then to here (sigh)…and then this…and to these from last fall…

fallm_austin_family_photographer.jpgI admit it’s a little tough for me to watch these kiddos grow up. It reminds me of how fast my own children are growing. But it does make me happy that families are documenting each of these milestones in photographs…something I promise they will never regret. It makes me excited to see how much she’s going to change even over the next year. Thank you guys…from the bottom of my heart..it has been a beautiful, beautiful year with you!

October is full,
November is almost, too,
Book your holiday session now,
Or you’ll be blue.

We can hold it in July
Or August is neat.
For a full session those months,
You’ll get a special treat.

Obviously I’m tired,
And my poetry is lame.
But without family pictures,
Your cards simply won’t be the same.

——————-

Okay, enough of that. (I can’t believe I went there.) All I wanted to say was this:

  • Check out the Session Openings calendar to see what’s left.
  • If you’re willing to hold your family session in July or August, you’ll receive a FREE set of 24 flat holiday cards (choose one from 5 designs – those two above included). To qualify, session must be booked by May 31st, 2011 (mini or Xpressions sessions
    do not qualify for this offer).
  • To find out how to reserve your session
    and get information on the NEW flat-rate pricing structure, please

Gosh…they were so happy here. And her eyes were so captivating!!! Pregnancy certainly agreed with her. And so does motherhood. I’ll share pics from their precious newborn session soon.

This was sooooooo special to me because:
1) I took her maternity pictures back in the day when she was expecting her first baby
2) it was really neat to see how differently she showed in each of the pregnancies
3) well…I got to watch him be born last week (first time photographing an actual c-section which was an incredible experience!)
4) I get to bask in his newborn cuddliness this weekend!
and 5) this is another one of those situations where my clients have become good friends and I simply feel blessed to know this family.

I quite enjoy the opportunity to photograph a maternity session where the focus is on the family. Here they are…at this time…together…getting ready to bring a new life into their family. In spite of having a toddler, it’s peaceful compared to what changes are about to take place.

austin_lifestyle_family_portraits_4.jpgBig sis “to be” got a little sleepy during our session and so she spent a little quiet time with her parents. These were my favorite moments.

(Oh, doesn’t mama remind you of Natalie Portman??? Well, I thought so anyway.)
