I don’t think you can fully appreciate this kind of newborn-ness until you love one for yourself. What a delightful session today! He was a perfect little prince.

car_austin_baby_photographer.jpgAfter I don’t even know how many times we had to reschedule (rain, birth, rain, etc.), we finally got to have our session for this sweet angel. She was so beautiful–like make you stop and catch your breath kind of beautiful. And we could not have asked for a more beautiful day for our session. Sometimes, I think things have a way of working out for the best.

[And how fortuitous that a very generous client happened to bequeath that ROCKIN’ pink car to me yesterday? A million thank you’s!]

Great session with you guys today and I promise, we got plenty of beautiful images with the kiddos standing still!

emmeinvites.jpg…and ready to go! Sending out this beautiful little stack of .emme. boudoir invitations tomorrow. I couldn’t be more thrilled to begin this new venture with my good friend-tog, Michelle, and talented make up artist, Katie from Modern Muse.

I’m most excited, however, about the opportunity for our clients to see themselves in a new light. Women of all shapes and sizes, wives, mommies, and even mommies-to-be can ALL be sexy and beautiful and mysterious. Mother’s Day is right around the corner and oh, la, la..what an amazing surprise gift this would make for Father’s Day!

I invite you to view the .emme. portfolio here (just make sure you’re in a safe place before opening, *wink*) and, you can sign up here to receive your own invitation for our first boudoir photographic event in Austin at the end of May. And, of course, don’t forget to become a fan of .emme. boudoir on Facebook.

This birth was fast and intense and beautiful and intense and magical and intense and perfect and inspiring and oh my word, I *barely* made it in time. I know they don’t give trophies for births, but his mama definitely deserves a trophy for this one. Or, maybe she already received one? Isn’t he as cute as he can be?

sun_austin_baby_photographer.jpgcaught my eye, but probably because I’m a sucker for cool flare. M, thank you sooooooooooo much for hanging in there tonight. I know it was challenging for everyone, but we stuck it out and I’m so very glad we did.

And they make it look really good! You two were amazing tonight and I’m just loving flipping through the images seeing how much fun you are together!

axp_austin_maternity_photographer.jpgSomehow, in spite of the rain, we managed to pull off our Xpressions sessions yesterday.  It was a blast exploring the wildflower terrain, but little did I know how much I’d be paying for it today. I’ve never really had allergies before, but with a wildflower season like this, it got me really bad…I can hardly breathe today! I hope my brave, beautiful clients are all faring better than I am. 

What about this couple up there??? Could she be ANY cuter??? Loved the colors in their clothing (which HE picked out…go dad!). So as these two are just getting started on their journey into parenthood…

axp_austin_baby_photographer.jpg…this little lady has built up quite the portfolio with Pinkle Toes Photography. A trip down memory lane here and here and here.

axp_austin_child_photographer.jpgAnd then there’s this little angel who is almost the same exact age as my baby. I know many of you are still waiting word on the angel tank…it’s coming, I promise!

axp_austin_family_photographer.jpgI must admit that I get a little misty when I think it was almost a year ago when he made his entrance into this world. And you’ll definitely want to scroll down to the bottom of this famous post. 😉

axp_austin_pregnancy_pictures.jpgAnd finally, these two (three?). Oh, that adorable basketball belly! We had such a blast yesterday!

[As with all Xpressions
sessions, these images have only received basic edits to enhance
contrast, but no retouching. If you’d like to do a mini session with me,
we still have two openings left for our next Xpressions
sessions in May.]

sigh_austin_baby_photographer.jpg

There’s a picture in one of my mother’s albums that I’ve always loved. I was a baby (about this age) and we were at the beach. I don’t remember being there, but the picture has become the memory for me. Mom was holding me on her hip like this and the wind was blowing her hair. I was snuggled up to her just like this and she was smiling a genuine smile.

Whenever I look at that picture I think, “Wow. That light is so beautiful.”

Then I think, “Gosh, my mom looks pretty.”

And then I think, “She really loves me.”

Sassy 1 and Sassy 2. Thanks for such a fun session last night and for even thinking of me while you guys were in town!
