Rise and Shine. Austin Baby Photographer.

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.

Sweet, sweet O. He really does love me, even though he did not want to smile. But that’s okay, his eye contact sure made up for it. In reality, my favorite pictures don’t have smiles in them. It’s a matter of personal opinion really. I just love the raw emotions that are captured when smiles aren’t necesarily present. Either way, off my smile bandwagon. He melts my heart everytime. And, I would like to point out the re-occuring “one” that he is showing us…he is gearing up for the big one year in a couple of months!

I do. Austin Wedding Photographer.

Julie and Matt’s wedding was such a sweet, intimate day. The weather was beautiful and the sun beamed through the windows throughout the whole ceremony and reception. I love that about day weddings; the light is just right and you can’t re-create that. Without further ado…I just love this one…I know, not technically perfect but, whatever really is??My hubby came along to get pictures of the guys while they were getting ready. This is one of his and I love it too…I have never seen it done before but they had everyone gather around them during the ceremony. So.very.special. I’ll be back with more in a couple of days but hopefully this will hold you over!

Just one. Austin Wedding Photographer.

Julie has been waiting so patiently for her sneak. I have been so busy editing the pictures and I didn’t want to post any until I was done with all of them. But, I decided to break my rules and post one two of my favorite. Up until I became a photographer, I always went to a wedding and enjoyed the moment. As a photographer, I like to capture the little moments that most people won’t see or, if they do, they won’t remember them. The moments that can’t be described in words. Those moments that have to be witnessed. Like the groom looking at his bride during the middle of the ceremony. Ever so slightly turning his eyes to glance in awe at the beautiful women standing next to him. And, just because I love this one! Don’t worry Julie, I will be back later with much more!

We had such a fun time photographing the annual Bandana Ball for the Ronald McDonald House of Austin. It is so heartwarming to see everyone having such a good time all the while benefiting such a wonderful organization. And, I mean really, who doesn’t want to see Ronald McDonald ride a mechanical bull? It just doesn’t get much better than that! And, the live auction was amazing. Everything moves so.very.quickly. Before I blinked they were on to something else and numbers were flying in the air left and right and people screaming and hollering. I was just trying to keep my head on and focused in the semi-right direction.

If you are anything like me then you probably read a lot of blogs. I mean, I have truly had to cut back. I was so engrossed in other peoples lives that I was missing out on my own. Now, I have a select few that I go read regularly(like clients and friends). Because, seriously, I was reading blogs of blogs of blogs of people that I had no idea who they were or why I was reading it. You know, don’t you?

Seriously.off.topic. Anyway, if you are a blog reader then you know that we had snow here in Austin last week. How do you know? Because, every.single.Austin blog wrote about the snow. How can you not? The thing is, if you never see snow then you can never possibly get tired of it. Eli and I stood out in the snow all.day.long. It was such a phenomenon…huge, beautiful snowflakes falling from the sky and covering the ground in a way that I have never seen. Really, it took my breath away. And, of course, I was out there with my camera trying to capture it so that I could remember forever.

Pure Wonder Photography. It’s my party. Austin Baby Photographer.

It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to. That is what our pediatrician(yeah, she reads my blog. I know, how cool is that?? I love it when I find out people actually read my blog) told me she thought of when I posted these pictures. So, so true.

I had a big party planned for Teagen’s first birthday. I painstakingly made every.single.decoration. I was so excited. Just something about a fun, girly party filled with lots of cute babies. How could it possibly get any better? Well, Eli got sick then Teagen got sick. And, we had to cancel the party. To say that I was bummed is a serious understatement. But, I decided to make the best of it and decorate anyways. I invited my parents because they have both worked in the public school systems and have immune systems of stone. And, I invited my sister because, honestly, I might have *slightly* understated exactly how sick they were so that she would come. I mean, we are so over the 4 day incubation period so I know that I am in the clear! We had a little party and I decorated away. In fact, we still have some of the decorations up today. I just can’t bear to take them down. I know, I know. But, I am a *bit* sentimental like that. Teagen had a great time(other than the big pouty lip, swollen eyes and crocodile tears) and Eli also had a blast.

Here are the invitations I made and a cute shot from her one year photos…Some of the decorations and another one year shot…And, these *awesome* cupcakes that my friend made…yeah, she went to pastry school. Aren’t they perfect and beautiful. They were so delicious!!And, I made all these bow and bow holders for the girls that were coming…now, I have to mail them out!
Let’s not forget about the birthday girl herself…

My friend Marti posted on her blog about a beautiful picture that she had taken of her daughter. I always enjoy looking at other peoples pictures and I always love helping people with photography related stuff. So, I emailed Marti and asked if I could edit her picture. She sent it along and away I went. The picture was already really good so I did a couple of different things but mainly just sharpened, levels, curves and different variations of color. Great picture Marti and I had a great time playing with it!!

Here is the original that she took…a great picture!!Here are a couple of examples of what I did. You can do so much to a picture but I ‘usually’ like to keep it simple and clean especially for a picture like this.

I’ll be back tomorrow with some black and white versions of the same picture! I have had such a great time doing this so if anyone else has some pictures that you would like me to mess around with…feel free to send them my way at erin@purewonderphotography.com.

I had to shoot a ton of pictures to get this one. At the time, I didn’t know exactly how sick my little babe was or I probably would have never taken her outside. …Today, is her One Year Birthday!!! Yes, I think One Year deserves caps…I would put it all in caps but fear of being a *little* obnoxious will help me refrain! I will(someday) post more about her one year but, for now, I am off(again) to go and rock my sick baby.
