this is the one i was really afraid i wouldn’t make it in time. i’m always a bit nervous when i’m on call for a birth that i won’t make it. i try to be ready to go on a moments notice. but this one, i was really nervous. noelle walked around for weeks at 4+ cm dialated. i jumped every time my phone rang. i’m so thankful that it worked out i got to be there. a-maz-ing birth experience. i cried when she was born. and when i was proofing. and when i finished the slideshow. yeah, i’m a sap, but it really was just that amazing. this birth experience was fast. and intense. and filled with emotion. and […]

I’m really behind in blogging sessions so while the kids are all asleep and it’s nice and quiet, I thought I’d catch up a little bit between emails and catching up on proofing! You can see this little cuties sneak peek here (and here). Since his momma is a photographer I’m sure he’ll have tons and tons of pics but thanks Libby for letting me capture the first few days! I sooooo wish I had hired someone to come in and capture Teagan early on. Here are a few more faves from their session….

oh man, those last two totally crack me up!!

thank you

for all the well wishes and prayers, we appreciate them more than you know.

teagan is doing well. we expected him to scream and cry when they took him from us to go into the OR but he did fantastic, not even a tear shed. coming out of surgery was another story. he was scared, in pain and very disoriented. but after lots of extra cuddles today and some extra rest, he’s doing very well. i will still be a little scarce and slow to reply to emails as my little man needs my attention and jase returns to a full day of work tomorrow. thanks again!

and a huge thank you to my dear friend, for letting us drop off our […]

welcome to the world beautiful girl….

i got to photograph an amazing birth this morning. maddie-rose gave her momma a run for her money making progress over the last few weeks, keeping us all on our toes, ready to go. but when it was time, she was ready! her water broke at 9:30 and maddie-rose was welcomed into the world this morning at 11:17 am. her birth was fast, intense and emotional (i will go ahead and admit here that i cried when she was born, it was so amazing to experience). i’m so excited for their sweet family, thank you again for letting me capture her birth day!

i’m not sure i have the words | austin family photographer

where do i start? i’m not quite sure how to articulate my experience with this family this morning. being at a loss for words is not something i normally struggle with ((insert my husband throwing out an amen here – ha!))

a few weeks ago i was have a rough day. i had made a decision that was not easy for me to make, but it was with my family at heart. i believe i was judged unfairly and some people had some harsh and untrue things to say. wallowing in it a bit, i sat at my computer feeling down. i was surfing the web and came across a story about a family from dallas. a family that has overcome […]
