Happy Valentines Day | Austin Childrens Photographer
10 | austin family photographer
1. I have come to the realization that I’m never going to catch up. If it didn’t happen in January, it’s probably not going to. I have sessions that are 2 months old that I haven’t blogged yet, not to mention a few births and a stack of personal photos. I haven’t been taking very many photos at home though this month….thankfully the iphone is never far away….
2. This week was the first time since Teagan was around 6 weeks old that I cried before getting out of bed at the mere thought of my husband leaving me alone with the children for the day. It was rough. The […]
for timmy | austin photographer
When I went to UT a few weeks ago to photograph Timmy and his family we had a ton of fun out on the field. At one point as we were moving about, Timmy grabbed my hand, looked up at me and said “Where’s the BAND?!” Totally made me smile.
And this photo, I’m pretty sure it is the only one Timmy cared about that day. As we were taking shots on the 50 yard line, a helicopter flew over us. Like most 6 year old little boys, Timmy loves helicopters and he quickly pointed and told me to take a photo of it. I swirled around, not ready. He ran over and said “Let me see! Let me see!” […]
2 | Austin Toddler Photographer
And just like that, in the blink of an eye, the dude turns 2. He’s been running around yelling “IT MY BIRTHDAY” in his best angry voice all day long. I do think that it might not be the best sign that this is his birthday shot for the year…..
Yup, he’s 2 alright.
ETA: #2 shirt came from THIS etsy seller.
kerri | austin family photographer
Ty and I loaded up Teagan and headed in to Austin this morning for his birthday session with Kerri Mathis. I’ve been battling a cold for the better part of the week and finally feel a bit better when I got up today, so happy about that. It’s a good thing too because it was cold this morning (well, cold for Texas standards – northerners stop rolling your eyes!). Teagan did so great with Kerri and I am excited to see what she got. I tried to step back and let them do their thing (that’s so hard to do!). Kerri’s little guy was there too and I distracted myself with hanging out with him and Ty. Is […]
a photography tip, flat taryn | austin child photographer
My kids have PCS (photographer child syndrome). Bad. It’s much harder to get shots of them because they know my tricks. They know the game and many days, they just don’t want to play. I have to be on my toes a lot, and I know many photographers and moms know the feeling. But guess what? PCS, it’s not just for photographers kids, its for their friends too. Tis true. Exhibit A: Lily, Taryn’s BFF. I first photographed her at 18 months old and since then, well, she’s kind of gotten over me and my camera shanigans. My old die hard tricks don’t even crack the surface. And with their family session coming up soon, I wracked my brain thinking […]
