10 on tuesday

1.  My baby boy turns 5 months old tomorrow.  Huh?!  What?!  How can that be?!  I’d swear he was just born yesterday.  But then again, I can’t remember what this family was even like without him here.  He fits in so seamlessly.

2.  Speaking of Jonah’s birth, our birth photographer, Leilani, and I bartered and she decided she wanted a love light night session in exchange for Jonah’s birth photos.  She captured one of the biggest and best days of my life so beautifully, she can have whatever type of session she wants!  So even though I’ve said I’m not doing any Love Light Night Sessions until Jonah is older, I’m doing 2, one for Leilani and one open […]

I first met these two lovely people when they booked a love light night session last year.  Kayla was newly pregnant during that session and I was so excited when they contacted me about capturing a full first year of memories for their new little one.  We joked that when we met downtown for their night session it was me doing the waddling (I was very pregnant with Jonah) and the next time we saw each other for their maternity session she was doing the waddling.  Ha!  Good thing both of us rock the waddle.  I love these photos, the light was beautiful and complimented them both so well.  Everything and everyone […]

366 days | austin baby photographer

I sat down to do her sneak peek last night and woke up at 3:24 am with my laptop on my lap.  Motherhood kicked my butt yesterday, nonstop.  So, I’m posting this a bit late, oops.  Sorry for the delay Angela, I hope her party yesterday afternoon was a total blast!

She’s exactly 366 days old in this photo.  1 year, big girl Allison!  So much fun yesterday and boy was she a trooper when we had a random cold morning in the middle of spring!

Y’all.  His chin.  I mean seriously…..his chin!!  Love!!  And even though this little guy is all big and sitting up now (catching up on blogging, we shot these on the 4th of July) I had to come share these.  Better late than never.  You’d never know it by the photos or by how calm and relaxed they were, but they had a baby earlier than expected and moved in a matter of days.  I photographed sweet little Lila when she was just a few days old and there is nothing more sweet than watching her become a big sister.  We *had* to go for a similar highchair photo and I’m so […]

kindergarten | iphoneography

My sweet boy started kindergarten today.  I was mixed with emotion last night and this morning, knowing what a huge step this is for him.  It’s not a huge change because we’ve already been doing Pre-K at home with him for awhile.  I know that he’s ready, but waiver on if his momma is.  It’s a lot more to take on curriculum wise, but he’s ready so even though the timing doesn’t fall in with the typical school calendar, it makes sense for us to dive in.  Starting now will mean that we’ll finish before the holidays hit during the fall/winter and that works great with my business and […]
