rolling over | leander baby photographer

My baby boy rolled over. For the first time! And not only that, but I just so happened to be taking his picture the VERY FIRST TIME HE DID IT! Y’all…..that never happens! Even as much as I shove my camera in my kids faces, I’ve never caught a first as it was happening. It took me 4 kids and tons of photo ops but it finally happened. My funny, happy baby, rolling over at 9 weeks old. I think it’s mostly gravity and his big old nugget, but hey, whatever works little man. You rock that roll! And boy does he. Forget about tummy time, as soon as I plop […]

tapped out

Christmas vacation is officially over. And for us, that means that a 3 month homeschool break is over as well. We took some time off just before Jonah arrived and through the holidays. There was a lot of learning about all things baby and the break was good for us. I really thought that returning to our studies and Jonah being 10 weeks old would be good timing. I thought I’d have my bearings about me. I thought we’d be closer to a schedule with him and naps. I thought we’d somewhat have a routine. BWAHAHAHAHA. Not even close. I’ll admit that I’ve cried more than once the last 2 days […]

1. I can’t believe Christmas has come and gone. It’s been SO crazy around here. Just adding the holidays to every day life with 4 kids, several businesses, homeschooling, etc. and it feels like life is a tornado some days. I think this year was really different because I normally don’t work in December as I’m wrapping up busy season. This year I did and man did the holiday sneak up on me! Thank goodness for amazon prime and fast shipping on Christmas gifts for my kids. Doing the whole 4 gifts thing again this year totally saved me too and made things much easier. Want, Wear, Need, Read…..I love you! Thankfully once Christmas arrived we slowed down and it […]

Merry Christmas from our family to yours.

I love having a new baby boy on Christmas. I can’t help but think of Mary and how she must have nuzzled and smelled the top of baby Jesus’s head. How she must have reveled at his newness, his tiny fingers and toes. How he must have looked up at her from the breast and smiled, just like my baby boy does. And most of all, I think about how she must have felt an overwhelming sense of responsibility raising the son of God. I try to remember that when I get overwhelmed as I raise children of God. Happy birthday Jesus and […]

8 weeks old tomorrow | austin baby photographer

I got ready to take a few photos of Jonah yesterday and before I could even get my camera set for exposure Taryn photo bombed us! She absolutely adores Jonah and I doubt 10 minutes goes by in our house without her seeking him out for a quick kiss or snuggle. She’s always right there to help take care of him, bring him a blanket, watch while I change his diaper, find him a toy. She snuggles with him so much and tells him how much she loves him constantly. I don’t feel like I’ve done a very good job capturing that in photographs, so I am so glad that I […]
