Our Canvas Gallery Wrap Displays (Updated): Renaissance Women's Group

What a fun road it has been since I did my first portrait install back in the summer of 2012 at Renaissance Women's Group (Dr. Mills' exam rooms).  Dr. Mills has been my doctor since I first moved to Austin in 2004, and I just adore her.  I have so enjoyed photographing her family since my business started, and so appreciative of her support and the opportunity to display my work there.  In 2013, I expanded into Dr. Montalvo's exam rooms as well there at Renaissance Women's Group.

I think about how far my business has come since 2012, and I just feel my heart overflowing with such a feeling of gratitude.  (And I understand why I might have been so tired since then too.)  ;)

Our displays have come a loooooong way since the first install (click here) in 2012.  I just did a huge overhaul of all displays up there, and installed my new line of AH-mazing Canvas Gallery Wraps.  They are like no other you will find out there... I adore them, and so do my clients!

Here is what the exam rooms look like after my latest install this week.  Let me tell you... installs like this count as two workouts!

My Canvas Displays (Updated): Austin Regional Clinic - South OB

I first installed canvases at Austin Regional Clinic - South OB back when they opened up their new location in January (click here).  The staff there is so awesome, and so much fun.  And so are their families!  I got to work with about 15 of their families last year for mini-sessions.

It was time to update and move some canvases around to OB/GYN locations, so last week I enjoyed installing some updated canvases at Austin Regional Clinic - South OB.  Here are some pics.

The Ly. Family {Austin Family Photographer}

These four were up bright and early for family picture day.  It was a blast working with them!  Check out the adorable L Family...

The Lo. Mother & Son Duo {Austin Family Photographer}

I love getting to work with such wonderful families through my photography.  This mother/son duo was part of my mini-session weekend with about 20 families from ARC-South OB offices.  This guy thought that our start time of 9:30am was a bit too early on a Saturday morning, but he did great.

And afterwards, his mom emailed me and said that as they were driving away after our session, he said that I made the session really fun.  And really fast.  :)  I'm glad that I get to show people that family picture day can be fun!

Enjoy a sneak peek into our morning.

The Le. Family - A Dad and His Girls {Austin Family Photographer}

In May, I enjoyed doing about 20 mini-sessions for families that work at Austin Regional Clinic - South OB, where I will be hanging much of my work later in the early fall.  I can't wait to have my images up there, as I have so enjoyed outfitting other OB/GYN offices and exam rooms around Austin with my work in the past.

This dad sure does love his girls.  And they were so sweet to work with from start to finish!  Enjoy a sneak peek into our morning.

A Gal and Her Pup {Austin Family Photographer}

I have always been an animal lover.  I suppose having a father who was a veterinarian didn't hurt that.  I used to raise my own pigs, rabbits, and sheep, and we also had horses (I was queen of the saddle club one year!), dogs, cats, ducks, and a lot of other random animals throughout the year.  I was quite the 4-H gal back in the day.

One of the drawbacks of living in a city is that you just don't have room to roam.  And I really miss that sometimes.  That is why it's such a treat to get to go back to Iowa every year and just roam around the farm.  It is liberating for me, but especially for my little ones.  There are tractor (or sled) rides, horse rides, lots of time getting dirty digging for veggies in the garden, and so much more fun.  Can't wait to get back there this fall!

Here is a fun mini-session I did with a gal and her pup.  Such a sweet duo.

The M Family {Austin Family Photographer}

I met The M Family because both D & J are Doctors at the OB/Gyn offices that I will soon be outfitting with canvas displays of my portrait work. 

First of all, can I just say how amazing their color choices were?!  I just love how they coordinated, but weren't too matchy-matchy.  This mama did a great job choosing outfits!  In the consultation, I give my clients some "What to Wear" tips, but she knocked it out of the park!  (This session will definitely be added to that "What to Wear" info. I give future clients.)

And second of all, it was just so obvious how much this little family of four loves one another.  I think we captured that just as they are on camera.  I even brought two of my superheroes along because their mama mentioned they loved superheroes in their client paperwork.  What sweet smiles these two little guys have!  To celebrate them doing so well in our session, their parents let them roll down the hill AND they got to wear their superhero costumes the rest of the day!  

I love how these turned out, and I hope the M Family is enjoying these images on their walls at home.   I definitely see some canvases in the OB office from this session happening in the future.  :)  

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

One of the best parts of being the photographer behind the lens of Miles of Smiles Photography is meeting and working with such wonderful families and watching their families grow.  And being able to document that on camera for them to have forever... that is priceless and something I just adore.

I first met The B Family when we did R's maternity session last fall.

And then I got to work with them when baby Paige arrived.  Can you believe her amazing head of hair?!  I seriously had to style it with every headband change.  Her newborn session is one of my favorites to date.  And oh does her brother just adore her.  (Click here for all that cuteness!)

And now I enjoyed working with them about six months later.  Aren't they just perfect together?

I love their clothing choice as well.  You know me... peacocks are my favorite color combination ever.

The W Family {Austin Family Photographer}

The W Family was so sweet.   I love the colors they chose!

And I must say... these two little ones really made being a twin look fun.  When we were shooting the images of them on the little suitcase, I said, "Is it fun being twins?"  They both smiled, snuggled in a little closer to one another, and said, "YA... we even get to share presents!"  I love, love, love the sweet spirit of little ones.

Here is a sneak peek into our morning together.

The R Family {Austin Family Photographer}

As I am blogging all of these family portrait sessions from my ARC-South OB project, I am realizing why the month of April was so busy!  I had fun working with all 17 families.

Here is a sneak peek into the R Family's session.  Enjoy!

The S Gals {Austin Family Photographer}

When I met M & S, they had just returned from a weekend outing with a large group of Girl Scouts.  And little M was still excited from it.  She was so sweet and silly!

This mother and daughter combination made me laugh... they were so loving and so funny together.  Enjoy a sneak peek into our morning.

The G Family {Austin Family Photographer}

These two little girls were so cute together.  I can tell they are not only sisters, but also best little friends.  Here is a sneak peek into the adorable G Family's session.

The E Family {Austin Family Photographer}

Sweet little Z had me smiling from the minute we met.  What a doll she is! 

I love working with families and seeing how much they really love one another.  These two are completely in love with their baby girl.

And did they pick amazing colors or what?!  Great job, E Family!  I hope you love the way your portraits turned out, and that they bring many smiles to you over the years as Z grows.

The Ch Family {Austin Family Photographer}

As I have watched my own son become a big brother a year ago and really love that role, it just amazes me how much he loves his "Sissy."  We walked in her room yesterday at preschool to pick her up, and as she crawled toward him with excitement, he said, "Hey Precious.  I love you sweet girl!" My heart = melted. 

This big brother was awesome too.  I can tell he is a big help with his little brother, and that his little brother absolutely adores him.  What a nice little family of four they are!  Here is a peek into our morning.

The C Family {Austin Family Photographer}

I met T because she is a Doctor at the OB/Gyn offices that I will soon be outfitting with canvas displays of my portrait work.  They were such a sweet family to work with.  Enjoy a little look into our session together.

The B Family {Austin Family Photographer}

You may remember Sweet Pea from this session (click here for a whole lot of cuteness).  I absolutely loved her dress.  The colors of it match my logo and branding perfectly! 

Well, about a week after our first mini-session that captured M in her adorable little Easter dress, I got to do a mini-session with both M and her mama.  And I have to say, M's mom takes the award for most ah-mazing shoes at any session.  She is so stylish! 

Enjoy a sneak peek into our mini-session together.  I'm loving the reds and blacks that are accessorized with the greens and pretty yellow flowers out at my favorite spot. 

The B Family {Austin Family Photographer}

The B Family was so great to work with.  I tell you what... doing a session with one 11-year old child (vs. my own babies (3 and 1)) is like a cake walk for this girl.

This guy was so sweet, and I told his mom that he really made 11 look like a fun age for a mother of a son.  She laughed and said, "It is SO easy compared to when he was tiny!"  It's hard to believe my own little guy will be big like this one day, but I know it will happen before I know it.

B Family: Enjoy your portraits!  It was a pleasure working with you, and I look forward to getting some images up from that weekend's mini-sessions in my displays at Austin Regional Clinic - South OB!

OB/GYN Offices and The T Family {Austin Family Photographer}

I am SO excited to be expanding my canvas gallery wall displays to a second OB/GYN practice here in Austin!  I tell you what... every time I walk into the exam rooms in North Austin (Renaissance Women's Group - Dr. Mills and Montalvo's office) and see my images, my heart skips a beat.  Such an honor.  And I'm so glad that my images make waiting in those rooms a little more fun for the patients.

This summer, I will be outfitting Austin Regional Clinic - South OB's office and exam rooms with canvas gallery displays.  And I thought that some of those displays should be of actual ARC - South OB families.  So I have been very busy the last few weeks doing about 20 mini-sessions for the wonderful families of ARC-South OB. 

The T Family kicked off a busy weekend of mini-sessions.  Didn't they ROCK their colors?!  I tell you what... I love color.  And I love when my clients wear pops of color.  Way to go, T's!  I so enjoyed working with them.  Enjoy a sneak peek into our morning.
