my loves | austin baby photographer

My friend Libby came and photographed Jonah at 5 days old. At the end of the session she was capturing Jonah and Jase, but Jonah was having a *moment* as babies regularly do. Libby had to leave to go pick up her son and I wasn’t sure if she got any from that portion of our session. After Jonah was done with his *moment* I decided to take a few, just in case. I’m so glad I did. My loves. I love them. And of course, Libby totally rocked her shot even though Jonah was done. You can see it here.

One my favorite families in all of Austin, gorgeous light downtown, sweet kiddos, on a cool, crisp morning? Yes please! Can you believe it has been 1 year since this little man was born?! I had to go back and look at his 6 month session too…look at the difference in his hair, I’m loving those curly locks he’s currently rocking! Happy birthday big boy!

I’m almost afraid to post this because I’m afraid I’ll jinx it….but…fingers crossed….Jonah is a great sleeper. A few days ago, Jase looked at me and said “Did our other kids sleep like this?” To which is replied a loud “NO!” The other 3 were up every 2, maybe 3 if we were lucky, hours for the first 6 weeksish. As soon as Jonah hit his birth weight and we no longer had to wake him to eat, he started to sleep in 4 to 6 hour stretches each night. Some nights he will pull one 3 hour stretch then follow it up with a longer one, but not often. I […]

Another super charged sneak peek for one of my favorite families. I was SO excited when they decided their session this year would be at their home. I know I sound like a broken record, but I love in home sessions. This family was one of my first clients when we moved to Austin and I’m lucky enough to call them not only clients, but wonderful friends as well. And I know that their home is filled with so much love. I love all the momma snuggles we caught, and the light and oh, that last image up there. It reminds me that these days of little people running through the […]

She was only a willing participant in these because I told her how long her hair looks and she wanted to see it in pictures. Her hair is finally finally growing! She’s gotten so tall these last few months, I swear she’s taller than some of the freshman at Ty’s high school. I just googled it and she’s in the 95% for height at 7 years old. This means I’m just a few inches over a foot taller than her. Ouch. She also has one wiggly tooth in the front on the bottom. She asks me to see if it is close to falling out every.single.day. She also reminds me every.single.day […]

Happy Fall Y’all! | Austin Baby Photographer

Oh sweet Allison, you steal my heart over and over again! Almost 6 months old already?! How did that happen?!

While I’m usually just gearing up for busy season, Ms. Allison is my last session before my maternity leave. Our main goal last night was to get lots of happy smiles from Ms. Ali and that I make it through without my water breaking….how is that for a session goal LOL!? I’ll admit it’s been a bit bittersweet for me. I’m struggling with not working and turning people away. I guess that is good news because it means I LOVE what I do. I know it will be easier as I hold […]
