we spoke on the phone, I knew I was going to love this family. They way mom described her children and how she wanted to capture this time in their lives...everything she was saying was right up my alley. Upon actually meeting them and visiting in their home, I became so overwhelmed with all of the inspiration...my mind was spinning that afternoon. I didn't leave until well after dark. I love sessions like that.
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.
It's no secret that I love Austin. I'm not from here, but here is where I feel at home. This city is so vibrant, so accessible, and filled with fun-loving, healthy, loving, vibrant families...families like this one. And we had our fill of the Austin vibe at our session that evening...
Be still my light-lovin' heart.
More hip, urban yumminess. Sigh...
