Baby J Turns One {Kyle Child Photographer}

I know, I’m so behind on blog posts it isn’t even funny.  Baby J celebrated his first birthday this spring and Mom had an amazing session planned for him!  Thanks to Pinterest, she set up this amazing little area in her mom’s home.  Baby J loved his cake and dug right into it.  Such a sweet and happy boy!

Watch out, Mom, he’s going to be a Ladies’ Man

Mom and Her Kiddos {Austin Family Photographer}

I photographed this sweet mom and her kiddos in the Spring.  She let me know right away that she was going to want photos in the fall.  After weeks of exchanging emails, we were finally able to work out a date and time and headed out to Zilker to take some photos.

Quote of the day: Mom, I love you a lot, but I’m so NOT going to kiss you.

Such a handsome young man.  He’ll be a senior next year.  I cannot wait to spotlight him!

Miss A cracks me up! 

C, you’re doing a great job!  You’ve got amazing kiddos!

First Birthday Cake Smash {Austin Child Photographer}

Miss V has been featured on the blog a few times now, but celebrating her first birthday is something that definitely warrants its own session!  We opted for an outdoor session at Zilker Park.  We took Miss V and presented her with a small cake and let her go crazy – It took her a while to warm up to the idea, but once she figured out that it was covered in buttercream frosting, she had a blast.

Mom and Daughter {Austin Family & Child Photographer}

A friend of mine from my childhood called and asked if I could squeeze her in for some shots of her and her daughter.  It was so much fun catching up with her as we haven’t seen each other in over 10 years.  I love that she found me on Facebook and loved my work!  I know she loved these images as well.  She made a special trip to Austin just so we could do photos.  I felt like Zilker Park was the perfect place to take them to not only get some great images but to also give them a little taste of Austin.

Miss M has a sweet and sassy attitude that was so fun to capture on camera.

School Pictures–Mom Style {Austin Child Photographer}

I must admit that I am a mom who usually get the school photo offered from the school.  I’ll get enough photos to give away to grandparents and be on my way.  This year, I was just really disappointed in my kids’ school photos.  I mean who wouldn’t be when they come home with their photos and the photos actually have to be edited in order to see C’s face because of the shadow on his face from his glasses? 

These photos were taken by Inter-State Photography.  I bought the full rights to them just so you all know.  Read through all the information before making any changes.

Can you see the difference?  The top one is the original photo.

Hannah’s wasn’t so bad except they put the bow on the top of her head (when I had it on the side at the start)

So I had this idea where I would take my kids downtown and get photos of them.  I’m so happy I did.  These are the photos that are hanging at Grandma’s house (Mammaw’s, too).  These are the ones proudly on display in our home.

I just love him!!  He's so cute!

Those big brown eyes are going to break a few hearts one day (a LONG time from now)

And then, these two photos are just one that show my kids personalities.  We have these in frames at home, too
