Sweet Sister - Austin Newborn Photographer

Meet Miss "C" who is the new baby sister of Kellen, on of our Bright Beginnings club graduates. And I'm thrilled that C has also joined the club! I look forward to documenting all her adorableness this year. Here are a few faves from her newborn session. Mr. Kellen didn't make this session, because he was in for the bunny portraits, which I'll post in one other day :)
Isn't she sweet here? Her grammy made this precious blanket for her.








And we were lucky enough to have Grammy with them, so we grabbed her for a couple of images. These will b so special for little C!

Star Struck? - Austin Children's Photographer

Okay, I'm not *really* star struck, but this gorgeous girl reminded me SO MUCH of a famous actress. The first person to guess correctly - in the comment field (gotta get you local readers to COMMENT) - will win a spring mini session on a weekday in April. Put those thinking caps on...
Now on to Miss "A" who is the second beautiful daughter in the "B" family that I have been fortunate to photograph. She brought lots of fun "looks" and we even pulled out the fan for some "windblown" images! Thanks, A, for a great session. Here are a few of my faves ...

Last Chance to VOTE!!

The National Charity Model Search has been a great success!! The entries are now closed, but voting will continue through April 2 - that is Thursday of next week!! Be sure to go here and cast your vote. Our city to watch is HOUSTON, and the little models from our studio have "teri_mason" in the name. Currently, our own Kayden Miller is hanging in there at 5th place for our city. Let's bump him up! Or vote for any of our other cuties!! Remember, it's for a great charity, the Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep foundation. And each vote costs only $1!!
Thank you for such a great response and for supporting such an awesome cause :)

Lil' Buckaroos - Austin Children's Photographer

We had a blast photographing all our lil cowboys and cowgirls. And now that we have our cool western wall (which will "live"outside on the side of my prop barn), we'll be able to offer this theme for regular sessions, too! Here are some of our favorite lil' buckaroos...

Womb to Bloom - Austin Maternity Photographer

I am so excited to share a new website I am partnered with. It's called Womb to Bloom and is an amazing resource for expectant mommies, parents of infants and small children. It's just getting started, but I urge you to check it out, or share with someone you know who might need it!
And if I've photographed your baby (or even children or family or senior!) would you take a moment to give me a review? My direct page is here and I'd love to see some comments :) Thanks in advance :)

Lil Slugger - Austin Childrens' Photographer

The "D" family came to see me recently, along with their lil' slugger, D. What a cutie! And full of energy! He really gave me a run for my money :) And yes, I did let him loose in the studio with a baseball bat! Call me crazy, but I think the images are worth it!! Here are a few of my faves ...

Lovely Young Girl - Austin Children's Photographer

I met miss "M" recently for a session. Isn't she a beauty?? We were all kind of bummed that the weather did not cooperate, as we had hoped to go outdoors (but we really needed the rain!). We stayed in the studio and had a great time. She was a little shy at first but warmed right up. I mean, who can resist my really silly jokes, and getting to pose like a supermodel?? She even brought in her American Girl doll, which was fun because I am currently obsessed with them and want to buy one for Abby. (Which I will do, but it has to be because SHE wants one, not because I want one, LOL). Here are a few of my faves from her session ...

Ladies in Red - Austin Children's Photographer

The "H" family came all the way from San Antonio to see me. You'll remember baby Chloe from last year, just a few months old, now almost a year! It was great to meet her big brother and sister, too. The dresses came from their grandmother, who teaches at my children's school - they are sooo pretty and the red really "pops" against the white. I know that Grammie is anxious to see a sneak, so here are a few of my faves ...

Cowboy Take Me Away - Austin Family Photographer

The "B" family came in recently for an outdoor session on our ten acre studio property. When discussing what they would be wearing, she said of her sons and hubby, "They are cowboys, can they bring hats?" Of course! And the belt buckles are too cool!! I was hoping they'd also bring along one of their horses, but it ended up they couldn't. Next time, for sure!
I loved the way they all interacted. You can tell they really have a close family. I enjoyed working with them all! Such handsome boys, too! Here are a few of my faves ...




There is a story behind this one. They said this is the "family pose" that their grandfather ALWAYS does when he is photographed. Of course we had to recreate it!

This is probably my favorite, and I love it in both color or black & white. It would look great above the fireplace!!

The bunnies are coming! Our annual bunny event will take place on March 27-28, plenty of time to have portraits before Easter. We've got a few spots left! You may book by choosing the "buy now" button on the side of this blog. Please include your preferred session time, along with names/ages of your children, in the PayPal notes!!

Any little girl will LOVE to push around a "baby bunny" in this buggy!
Call today to book your session! 930-1902

Oh Those Eyes! Austin Baby Photographer

Little Miss Kacie is one of our Bright Beginnings Club babies. This is her third session, and wow she has grown so much! From a teeny-tiny premie to beautiful blue eyed girl! She has the MOST AMAZING blue eyes! Jen, you make some pretty babies!!
Kacie was very patient with us through outfit changes and all - she loved the silver rattle with the tutu. And even broke in my new baby-sized formal sofa (I soooo want one of these in grown-up size!!). Of course we had to snap a few of big sister (and one of our Leap & Bounds club kids), Natalie, too. Here are a few of my faves...
