Lovely Miss C - Austin Children's Photographer

I had the pleasure of photographing this lovely young lady recently. "C" is 10 and is quite the renaissance girl! She was so much fun to work with - she has many hobbies and brought plenty of interesting things to add to her session. I really love to photograph this age, they really have developed a lot of personality. I think it's a big boost to the self-esteem for a child of this age, too, to have a session and feel like a model. It's a huge leap from a boring school picture, that's for sure. I think "C" had a great time and we got some amazing, fun images. Here are a few of my faves...

She looks a little older here - she is a real beauty. Mom, lock the doors!!

Model Siblings - Austin Children's Photographer

These adorable kiddos came in for individual model sessions. The "T" children were "model" in every way - so cute, so well-behaved! We even had a chance to get a few of them together! Here are a few of my faves ...

Little Princess - Austin Children's Photographer

Meet "J" who came in this week for a Model session. Isn't she the cutest thing? I fell in love with her instantly, her rosy cheeks and bright eyes, plus she was so SWEET! Just followed my direction brilliantly. And she is only just turned 3! I can't wait to see this little dear again for a longer session, we'd have so much fun! Here are a few of my faves from her model mini ...

Baby Blues - Austin Baby Photographer

Meet Gavin, isn't he adorable? He came in for a mini session this week. He's too young for the model contest, but I still fell in love with his big blue eyes. He was so expressive, check out the cheeks, I just LOVE it! Of course, I had to put him into my new giant teacup, too. Keep a lookout - those teacup images are going to turn into a teacup gallery one of these days!! Here are a few of my faves from his session...

One of those days ... Austin Children's Photographer

I think little miss Gracelynn was having "one of those days." It's hard being two, after all! She is as cute as a bug, but was having NONE of my funny business at our session. After a little coaxing, a LOT of tears, and a quick trip out to see our ducks (thank goodness for living on a farm!), she decided we could have a little fun and we got some GREAT images. Whew!
I know her mommy was worried, but rest assured, Kelli, they turned out adorable! Here are a few of my faves...

As you can see, she's going to give me a run for my money some day - she already has her own camera!

What a Natural! - Austin Children's Photographer

Meet miss "K" who came in for a mini-session to enter the National Charity Model Search. She was a natural! Loved the camera, knew her "moves." Isn't she adorable? (And her outfit was perfect to use for my Pure Love promo!) Here are a few of my faves. It's going to be hard to choose which image to enter!

I just LOVE this expression. It is so grown up and thoughtful!

3Ks 2cute! Austin Children's Photographer

I just love these kiddos! The "T" kids (whose names all begin with "K") are so adorable! I got to photograph each individually for the National Charity Model Search. Then, of course, I couldn't let little K miss her chance, so I plopped her into my brand new, giant teacup. Here are a few of my favorites...

And the ones that will go into the contest...

Doesn't big K look soooo handsome and rugged??

Images from our studio will soon be posted for voting. Keep your eyes here on the blog for the announcement, and then GO VOTE! It's for a great cause, and you'll see some CUTE kiddos!

And of course, how could we choose with all these great expressions? This will look amazing on his bedroom wall!

New Year's Baby - Austin Newborn Photographer

Well, almost. Little "I" made her debut on January 2, 2009. I was honored to photograph her first portrait session just a few days later. She was the most alert newborn I've ever worked with - did not sleep one wink! But lots of great eye contact and nary a cry, except when she needed to have a little snack. What a sweet baby girl! Here are a few of my faves from her session...

LOVED this tutu that mom brought in!

I thought this grouping would be fabulous on their walls. I would suggest 12x12 on standout for a really contemporary presentation.

And of course, our most popular display, the Expressions collage. A "must-have" for the chic baby nursery! And so many of my favorites!
