Portrait Giveaway Winner - Austin Family & Maternity Photographer

This sweet family won the portrait session giveaway that I did earlier this month. It was so wonderful to meet them!! We had to act fast to make sure our session was a maternity session and not a newborn session. :) I can't wait to hear about this baby's birth. What a blessing to have 5 kiddos and what an amazing mom! I hope you guys enjoy these.

Sweet Baby Boy - Austin Newborn Photographer

A very dear friend of mine gave birth to her first born, not too long ago. This past weekend I got a chance to go visit them. Ahhh. He's so perfect. Newborn babies are just one of the best things EVER. SO MUCH work, but SO worth it!! Our Creator is truly amazing.

See the dimple??

Zilker Park Playdate - Austin Child & Infant Photographer

Enjoy a sneak peek from my portrait playdate session last Friday. It was a little cold and drizzly, but the kids were great and we managed to pull it off! If you are interested in scheduling a portrait playdate for your friends let me know - I'm not scheduling any more until the 1st of the year, but it is good to plan ahead!

Giveaway Winner - Cedar Park Child & Family Photographer

Congratulations to the winner of our portrait session giveaway! Here is the nomination that won - stay tuned for a sneak peek of my maternity session with this family in the near future.



"I have an amazing friend that is pregnant with her 5th child. For the past several years her husband has worked in Alaska for months at a time while she is here in Texas. She has such great kids and she has had to do this by herself most of the time. Her husband just moved back here permanently to be with the family. He is looking for a job. I had found a photographer on Craigslist that was looking to do Maternity shots for her portfolio. My friend signed up and was scheduled to get her pictures done. The photographer is pregnant as well and is unable to take them at this time. This will be my friends last baby and I know that she would love a photo shoot, whether it be a maternity session or one of their complete family (7 people!!) The reason this family impresses me so much, as if having 4 amazing kids, and 1 on the way and being a "single" parent isn't enough, her and her husband are such an example to other couples. They have been together since they were teenagers, they started their family young, but have such a strong relationship. You can tell they are madly in love with each other. They are remodeling a fixer upper house and work as a team to fix things. They are always helping others and serving in the church. I wish I could put into words everything, but I have some small people requiring my attention."

Thanks for the wonderful nomination, Tabitha!!

Frogs, Snails, & Puppy Dog Tails - Austin & Cedar Park Child Photographer

What a great little family. Since I have two baby girls, it is really fun for me to get a taste of what it is like to have little boys around. They head STRAIGHT for the mud, birds, squirrels, etc... While my girl is fascinated with birds, she admires them from a distance. She does NOT charge after them trying to catch them. :)

Enjoy your sneak peek!!
