Part 2. Austin Children’s Photographer

Remember the rules?

1. No moving to get better light or a better shot.

2. No getting their attention. Just sit, wait and watch.

I had so much fun doing this that I think I’ll try again this week. It’s great to get pictures of your kiddos without having to try at all.

And, don’t you worry all you cloth diaper fans…we are still on the bandwagon but it was wash day!

I decided today that I was going to pick 2 places to sit in my house, with my camera.

The rules were simple:

1. I couldn’t ‘move’ to get better light or a better shot

2. I couldn’t try to get their attention. I had to just sit, wait and watch.

My first place was the kitchen table. Breakfast was over but this was like a mid-morning snack. I’ll be back later with location #2…the playroom corner.

Sometimes, when days are rough around here and my loving chilren have just about turned every head on my hair grey, I find solice in naptime. I kiss their little heads, shut their doors and say a little prayer for my sanity. Then I come downstairs to my computer, sit in my grandmothers red velvet chair, open up i-tunes and crank up Andrea Bocelli as loud as it will go and away I go. To my happy place. I edit and look. I see pictures in a new light. I clear my head and just enjoy. Sometimes, I close my eyes and just listen to the quietness filled with beautiful music. I take a deep breath and relax. A meditation of sorts that sends me to some alter universe of enlightenment. Today, I did just that. And, look what I found. I love them so. And then, as quickly as it started, it’s over. A little voice through the monitor and the sound of an opening and closing bedroom door upstairs takes me out of my trance and back into reality. Until tomorrow my friend. Where, once again, I find peace.

We got up bright and early yesterday morning for this little guys photos. Good thing, we managed to beat the heat(for the most part) and catch him before his morning nap. He was wonderfully charming and had the most adorable dimples. Can you tell where he gets them from? And, thanks to my lovely friend Marti for helping me out on this session. It’s getting harder to jump up and down with this big ‘ole belly of mine!

30 seconds. That’s what I get. What happened to my sweet babe that loved my camera? I really just wanted to capture her spunk and innocence. Somehow, in 30 seconds, I managed to get just that.

Isn’t that beautiful?

Nothing touches my heart more than seeing a mother with her daughter. I had never experienced a feeling quite like that until I had my own daughter. It’s something that takes your breath away. This was no exception. This momma had an air of confidence that can only be described as love. True love. She fed her baby as if it were second nature. And she just had this sense of completeness. It’s hard to describe but beautiful to witness.

Thank you for inviting me into your home and allowing me to capture such a precious bundle. Hopefully, when the newborn fog has risen and sleeping hours return, these pictures will serve as memories of those fleeting hours that will never be again.

Why Hello Mr. Blue-eyes.

As promised. Austin Newborn Photographer.

And, perhaps, my favorite…

Thanks again guys for letting me come out. He is just beautiful!

On our little trip out of town, I decided to do a spur of the moment mini session with my kiddos. With being sick forever, I just didn’t have the energy to get them all dressed up and go out. Shame on me, I know. I was prepared for my son’s “i hate your camera” attitude but, what I wasn’t prepared for, was my diva daughter and her “i’m 17 months going on 16 and you had better get away from me” attitude. Ahhh…what it’s like to have a glimpse into the future! But, my little man came through for me and rocked it out.

The great thing about photography is that I have been able to reconnect with so many people from my past. This little guys mama and I grew up together and boy, how our lives have changed since high school. He was so sweet and wonderful and, if she had let me, I would have taken him home with me. Don’t you think he would be a good addition? And, I’ll tell you what, as fun as it was to go to Houston for this session, I sure don’t miss the humidity and traffic! I’ll be back in the next couple of days with many more of this little guy but in the meantime, make sure to leave him some comments and tell him how cute he is!
