Sweet Little Jack - 10 Days New {Austin Newborn Photographer}

Project "Catching Up on Fall 2014 Blog Posts" continues with adorable little Jack.

This little boy... he had my heart during his session at our studio.  He was about 10 days old and almost 10 pounds of pure newborn goodness when we shot his session.  His big sister did such a wonderful job during her part of the session too.

I can't wait to work with them again this year.  And they won the GRAND prize at my Studio Grand Opening event in January (a 16x20 Canvas Gallery Wrap!), so I can't wait to get that up on their walls this year.  Good stuff!

Isn't he divine?

*Currently booking newborns 2-3 months in advance.  Mamas-to-be: Be sure to contact me at the start of your 3rd trimester to reserve your spot.

Adorable Duo {Austin Family Photographer}

Project "Catching Up on Fall 2014 Blog Posts" continues with this cute little pair of kiddos!

I have enjoyed working with this little duo since they were 2 and almost 5 years old.  They have grown so much since then!

Their mama actually delivered my first baby, and I have loved knowing her and being her patient the last 10 years since moving to Austin.  Her office (Renaissance Women's Group) is actually where my first Canvas Gallery Wrap displays went in way back in June 2012.  And since then, several more displays and OB/GYN offices have been added, which has been so fun for me! 

Click here to see the Canvas Gallery Wrap displays at Renaissance Women's Group, and enjoy a little peek into our session below.

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.

The B Family {Austin Family Photographer]

I first met this beautiful mama back in the late 90's when we were freshmen in college at Iowa State University and lived across the hall from one another.

We've stayed in touch over the years, and when they moved to Dallas about a year ago, I was so excited when she asked me to do her family's portraits one weekend when they were visiting Austin.

We headed to South Congress ("SoCo") for some good times and adorable photo opps.  Sometimes in life's busy-ness, I forget what a colorful, vibrant, cool city I live in.  It's nice to get back to the cool downtown spots every now and then with my camera.

I love how their session turned out.  Enjoy a sneak peek into our afternoon together. 

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

This boy... this sweet little boy with dark curls and big brown eyes.  He is one of my favorites.

His mama found me on Yelp for her maternity session, and since then, not only has their family become amazing and frequent clients... but also very dear friends.  My son and this little guy's big brother are best buds, and my daughter has a major crush on "Baby Dylan" (as she lovingly calls him) and can't stop hugging him when he's near.  Love it!  And my Canvas Gallery Wraps are hanging on the walls of his Daddy's medical offices in South Austin.  (Click here to see some of that fun.)

Click here for the adorable images we captured at his beautiful mama's maternity session, and also of Dylan and his family at his newborn session.  I have had the pleasure of photographing them several times in the last year, and just love watching their family and babies grow.

{Click here for one of my favorite sessions ever in the red and yellow wildflowers last year, and here for a bluebonnet session with this adorable family.} 

Below are some sweet images from little Dylan's first birthday Cake Smash session.  He was nothing short of absolutely adorable, and I must say - he ripped into his cake (and was covered in orange frosting!!) in a matter of seconds.  I loved every shot from this session!  Enjoy a sneak peek. 

{Currently booking 2-3 months in advance and 4 months in advance for Fall sessions.}

3 Months Behind... Better Late Than Never

To say I am behind on my blogging is an understatement!  I'm about 3 months behind, to say the least.  Fall season for photographers is like tax seasons for accountants, and I have to say that 2015 has just picked right up where Fall 2014 left off.  SO busy... SO blessed. 

And tonight, as I watch "The Bachelor" on Tivo, I have decided tonight is the night to start catching up on my blogging from Fall 2014. 

Prepare for some cuteness! 

Miles of Smiles Photography - Studio Grand Opening Event

Thanks so much to everyone who came out for the Grand Opening event for our new photography studio!  It was a gorgeous 70 degree "winter" day in January, and I loved seeing everyone who came.  My parents even drove in from Iowa for it, and it was so wonderful having them there!

We had a drawing for some incredible prizes (Canvas Gallery Wraps, discounted sessions, mounted wall prints, and more), enjoyed tasty food, and I loved showing people my prop addiction... I mean collection.  :) 

This little studio has been such a blessing.  For several years, it was a dream.  But thanks to all of my amazing clients, lots of planning and hard work (and a lot of turquoise paint!), it became a reality in June of 2014.  It is no easy physical or financial task running a studio, but it is (incredibly) well worth the investment that it has been to have such a fun and comfortable space to work with and for my clients to enjoy. 

Enjoy a fun little video about our Grand Opening event, and how Miles of Smiles Photography began.  {Note: Don't view in full screen or it will not be as clear.}  Enjoy!
