The B Family {Austin Family Photographer}

I loved working with this adorable family again!  I first met them a little over a year ago at their sweet baby girl's newborn session.  We even enjoyed getting their 2 little cousins in the pictures too for that newborn session as well as the session a year later.

Click HERE for some adorable images from the newborn session a little over a year ago.   And click here to see the cousins.  My have all 3 of these Littles grown since then!

One of my favorite things about being a photographer is getting to form relationships with my clients and work with them year after year and watch their families and babies grow.  It is such an honor.

Enjoy a sneak peek into our morning together.  I love that we ended the session on the playground and got so many sweet images of them just playing.

Noah's 1st Birthday Cake Smash {Austin Baby Photographer}

Oh, how quickly babies change!  I feel like not too long ago, we were shooting his newborn session (click here for that) and two of my favorite images to date...

And here we are - now at his first birthday session and cake smash!  He was such a happy little guy, and even got up and ran off set to give me a few hugs.  Best job ever.  I love how his images turned out and hope his mama is enjoying some extra sweet snuggles today from her one year old.

John Major's Newborn Sessions: And Baby Makes 7! {Austin Family Photographer}

It is hard to believe that this little man all started right here... (click here for the full blog post and more sweet pics).

His newborn session was a lot of fun, even though he was a tough cookie when it came time to sleep.  But I won that challenge, wouldn't you agree?

A few days later, we followed up with a lifestyle session at the F family's beautiful home.  Sometimes the best things in life are unplanned, just like this little guy.  What a fun addition to a super sweet family!

One of my favorite sibling shots... ever.

To the F Family: Congratulations on baby making 7.  You have such a nice family and your kids are so sweet!  Thank you for choosing me to capture such special times in your family's lives together.  

Paige's 1st Birthday Cake Smash {Austin Family Photographer}

Oh, how I adore this baby girl!  I first met her a year ago for her newborn session.  Click here for all of that sweetness.

At our newborn session, we realized that their family lived just down the street from mine!  Since then, they have become dear friends, but sadly they don't live down the street anymore.  They moved up to Dallas, but that didn't stop them from coming back to Austin for sweet Paige's cake smash session!  I feel so honored that they drove 3 hours to Austin for their session, and just love how their images turned out.

Here is a sneak peek into our morning together.  Isn't she a doll?!

Flashback to last year... oh how quickly babies grow!

Sweet Little Cody Clare... 8 Days New {Austin Baby Photographer}

"Every good and precious gift is from above."  ~Jeremiah 1:17

With that I would have to agree.  And little Cody Clare is certainly a perfect little gift.  What an angel she was during our entire session.  I love the way her images turned out, and hope they bring many smiles to her mom and dad's hearts over the years as they watch her grow and remember how tiny she started.

Not only did I get to photography this family of 3 (plus their dog), Cody Clare's cousins were in town visiting too, so I enjoyed photographing a four month old and almost 3 year old, and all 3 cousins together.  Needless to say, my body got a workout that day!  Stay tuned for part II coming soon for their sweet images. 

How Quickly a Year Flies! {Austin Baby Photographer}

Time has always seemed to pass somewhat quickly.  I remember way back in my college days thinking the weeks were just flying by.

When I became a mother 3.5 years ago, time seemed to fly by twice as fast.  And when I became a mother for the second time last year, I can hardly keep up with this thing called time!  It just flies by so fast.

I cannot believe how quickly this sweet girl has gone from tiny newborn to sweet, sassy, funny one-year old.  Enjoy her cuteness.  And her cheeks!

Seems like just yesterday, I shot this image of her.

Pretty In Pink {Austin Baby Photographer}

I love doing infant portrait sessions.  Those sweet cheeks, chubby legs, the baby's ability to sit up but not yet run away from my camera... Those are just a few of the things I adore about infants. 

I also love capturing this time in a baby's life, because soon comes the first birthday, and we all know how fast time flies and babies grow after that!  The 9-month session is really their last "little baby" stage.  

Nothing says girly more than pink and pearls.  Love this sweet-cheeked 9-month old and all the fun we had during this little session!

I am gearing up for all of the sweet newborn, infant, child and family sessions to come in 2013!  Don't forget - we also do Cake Smash Sessions... perfect for a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd birthday.  Click here and here for more info. on that.  And ask us about our Baby's First Year plan for big savings!

The W Family... Take III {Austin Family Photographer}

To say I enjoy working with the W Family would be an understatement.  It has been so fun watching them as a couple, then watching them prepare for their baby's arrival, and now watching them as parents.  Not to mention the fact that it has been fun watching their sweet baby grow!  She's such a doll.

Photography itself is such a rewarding journey for me.  Going from an idea in my head... to bringing it to life through my camera... and then finalizing it with editing and creation of custom artwork for my clients.  And it is so rewarding to get to be on this journey with families like this.

Here is a sneak peek from our session. 

Jonah Turns 1! {Austin Children Photographer}

I had such a great time doing Jonah's newborn portraits last year.  (Click here for all that cuteness...)  I cannot believe he's already one!  We had such a fun session, and ended it with an all out cake smash.  He was so cute as he started digging into his cake.  He kept looking at his mom and dad with this look on his face like, "Are you guys sure I can do this?!"

And now they will have a large wall print of this looking back at them to remember all the cuteness!  

4 Months of Love {Austin Baby Photographer}

Words cannot even express how much I adore this baby girl, her cute little chunks, and those sparkling blue eyes.  Isn't she lovely?!
