Someone’s Turning 2!!

Last week I did pictures for this sweet girl’s baby brother and this week it was all about her!  She’s turning 2 next week.  I have known her since she was a little baby.  It’s hard to believe that so much time has passed already.  Her momma was one of the first people that let me do photos for her, when I was doing them for free.  And man, they were something else.  LOL  I’ve done pictures for her since, but I’m happy that she had faith in me after that first attempt….scary stuff!  This morning was so perfect!  The light was just perfect.  We were the only people around.  And it only took an hour!! Thank goodness because right at the hour mark, all of a sudden, there were about 25 people there with chairs, a preacher, and bagpipes.  A wedding was about to start any minute.  Woah, that was a quick setup!  Thanks guys again for letting me do pictures for you.  I love your family and I’m going to miss all of you when we move.  🙁  Happy birthday, sweet girl!!

More of that Sweet Baby!

I’m loving working on these pictures.  When I did this session the mom asked me what kind of sessions I like best.  Newborn ones are, without a doubt, my favorites!  The babies are so precious and I love the way they are just so sleepy!  Makes my heart grow a little bigger every time!  I think I might need to drive over to this little one’s house so I can hold him just for a minute or two!

I love this one!  Look at that double chin and that round belly.  Oh my goodness, so sweet!

Beautiful Family

A great friend of mine just had this sweet little baby boy.  She asked me a long time ago if I would do newborn pictures for her.  I still can’t believe that he’s really here!  She went into labor a couple of weeks early which worried me because I knew we would be out of town during the time that would have been ideal for his pictures.  But today we did his pictures and he gave us a run for our money.  He did NOT want to sleep!  LOL  We tried forever to get him to sleep and finally, mission accomplished and then he was easy!  I got some adorable pictures of his big sister too.  You will see more of her after next weekend.  She’s turning 2 and I am the lucky girl that gets to do her birthday pictures.  I loved being with this family today.  The dad is so calm and relaxed, an awesome dad to both of his beautiful children.  I don’t get to see him interact with their daughter very much because usually it’s just us moms.  It was cool to see!  And the mom, she’s just so easy going and funny!  I love her!  Thank you guys for letting me spend so much time at your house today!  I hope you love your pictures.  🙂

This one makes me almost cry:

So we got back from N.Y. and the weather was gorgeous, in the 70’s!  We stepped off of the plane and there I was with a sweater, boots, coat, scarf, looking like I just got back from the Arctic.  And today, it’s snowing!  Crazy weather here in Austin, as always.  Makes things interesting!  Here is a cute hat that I just ordered for Mya.  Well, I ordered it back in December!  I was hoping it would get here before it got too warm, and hey, today is the perfect day to wear it.  More news on N.Y. later!  But we won’t be in Austin for too much longer.  We are definitely moving.  Very exciting!
