I just finished their gallery last night and while this wasn’t the shot I intended when I clicked the shutter, as I thumbed through their proofs, it struck me right away. The way she’s looking at him gets me. I remember that feeling so strongly….those early days where you fall in love with your husband in a new way you never even imagined or dreamed that you would….seeing him as a father. It’s just one of the heart swelling moments that come along with being a new mom. As if having a new baby wasn’t blessing enough, you get this other whole new person to love too, the daddy….
My 3rd and final session of the day was one of my favorite families in the whole entire world. i have several thoughts….
1. They are beautiful individuals, every last one of them. But when you put all 4 of them together, beautiful just doesn’t cover it. 2. MC may never forgive me for introducing Jack to marshmallows tonight. 3. Jack pretty much loves me. 4. I love him too. 5. I may have encouraged Jack to make silly face in front of the camera a few too many times today. 6. I’m sorta sorry about that MC. 7. It feels like yesterday that Tommy was born. How is he 5 months old already? 8. Jon looks fabulous….totally kicking cancer’s […]
Just a few more of the fabulous Butler family. I love this session, it feels so real to me….

That little guy up there, he has it for his momma big time. Love that!

In case you ever wondered….this is what the […]
I’ve been looking forward to this session for soooo long (July I think?!). Little man just turned one and it was the perfect time to celebrate and capture some photos of their adorable family. He is so cute, very busy, walking running like a champ and all boy! I love this family shot, Austin is such an amazing city and I feel so lucky to live here. I shot this after dusk (f/1.2!)…

S Family, I hope you like your sneak peek and THANK YOU for the yummy cupcakes!! They were a huge hit with the Stradtner crowd when I walked through the door tonight! Especially Taryn, she was all […]
The beautiful Miss Joan had her official newborn session this afternoon. I’m still working on her birth photos but wanted to pop in and share a few we caught this morning. At 11 days, she’s just a dream. Her mommy told me she’s a snuggle bug and boy is she right!

the other end is pretty darn cute too!

I love the light shining through her tiny little piggies. F Family, it was so great to see you all again today! Many, many more coming very soon =)
And now this tired photographer is off to bed! I have a session with this […]
