In spite of the random references to a certain "enhancement" commercial, the clawfoot tub, in my opinion, turned out to be a huge hit!  Bless my husband for hauling this thing around (I can't even help him lift it, it's so heavy) and we could not have asked for more stunning light!

They did turn out so well! A month or so ago I saw a claw foot tub at a flea market and thought about all the possibilities. Then later on I saw the sneak peek for this Xpressions session! It looks like fun. :)

Hi, I'm normally more of a lurker around here, but this session is awesome! I'm also wondering where you got the gray and yellow quilt. I've been looking for a new one for a while and I'm totally in love with it!

Oooohh, the light really was fantastic and I am in love with all the pillows and the old tub! Just perfect. I think I've seen that gray and yellow quilt at Target along with all the other Liberty brand pillows. I think I may have to buy that one too!

tub_austin_family_photographer.jpgWe were supposed to go here for these Xpressions sessions, but I'm afraid we might have lost the tub (or even a person) in the crazy mud pit, so we had to switch locations. This worked out BEAUTIFULLY and oh, I'm so in love with this tub.

These are beautiful and so playful and fun.
On a random note: Any chance you know where the mother to be in the first photo got her yellow and gray dress. I LOVE it and have been looking all over for something just like it?? :)

LOVE the picture! Only you could make a prego look kinda sexy. ;) Can you do the same thing for the birth pictures? PS: I borrowed the dress from a girlfriend and I love it because it looks like anthropologie but it's really... Target!
