My Baby Lost Her First Tooth

This can’t be happening?  Really, at age 5, Miss Teagan is losing her baby teeth.  Heck, my 7 year old hasn’t even lost his first tooth, but my daughter has?   Just makes me sad…

I wanted to photograph this important milestone, but instead Teagan decided to play with the jasmine and be silly.  I can’t blame her, the smell of this stuff is intoxicating.

Baby Blue & 7 Days New

Seems like there have been a ton of baby boys born lately, and I am really enjoying it!  Blue is one of my favorite colors.  This sweet baby boy gave us a run for our money though.  He was wide awake when I first got to session.  Momma had fed him, rocked him, even Daddy had a go of it and he still wasn’t ready to sleep.  At one point, I think he was giving me the “stink eye.”   I think he was telling me to back off, he wasn’t ready for pictures yet.  LOL!    No worries though, a few cuddles and kisses later from Momma & Daddy, and he was out like a light!

Baby Jack ~ 14 Days New {Austin Newborn Photographer}

Oh sweet baby Jack! I had been waiting a long time to meet this lil’ fella! It was a perfect springtime morning the day of his session, the clouds overcast in the sky, it was still pretty nice temperature wise –  perfect. We decided to start Jack’s session outside in the daffodil garden. Something about the bright yellow blooms just screams Spring.

Jack’s sister wanted to get in on the action too, so we headed inside for some sisterly snuggles. She did so good – holding his head steady and secure. As soon as we got them on the couch together she knew exactly what to do.   Without hardly any guidance, she immediately started hugging and kissing him, it was a really sweet moment.



I instantly feel in love with Jack’s nursery. Momma did good!:)Something about the orange and aqua colors were so appealing to me….. *ahem* *cough* ….. oh yea, no wonder I like it, they the same colors that I use for Rae of Light Photography. LOL! It was such a cute set up with lots of rustic features. There was one special thing that Mom really wanted to be photographed and that was the brown teddy bear. Mom & Aunt warned me that it was a little creepy looking but it has a very special meaning. It was Jack’s Grandfathers teddy bear as a child so it is really old & a little worn around the edges, but it was important to include it in the photos.

After our session was done, Jack’s Aunt had to head back home. She has been there helping out for the last 2 weeks and it was time for her to leave. I started to put my camera equipment up, but couldn’t resist capturing this special moment. Parting is such sweet sorrow…

Sweetest Lil’ Butterfly

When Mom arrived for our session and pulled out this adorable butterfly outfit, I knew this was going to be fun. Lil’ Miss B was just as cute as could be, matching from head to toe, even down to her hair accessories, which I believe Mom made herself. This was my last Charity Model Search session for 2012, and I couldn’t have asked for a better time. Looking forward to seeing you again next year Miss B, which I am sure by that time, you’ll have me running after you.

Bedrest Momma

I can tell you that the thought of having unlimited sleep and being able to lay in bed all day reading books and watching TV, initially sounds great.  But I’m sure, as many mommies that have had to endure being on bed-rest would tell you,  it gets old real fast and soon is one huge drag.     This Momma-to-be has dealt with this first hand for many weeks now.    We didn’t want to travel too far, so we decided to just shoot her session at her home.    I got a sense from her, as we started her photo shoot, that she found it nice to get outside and get some fresh air.   Weeks and weeks being at home, I imagine,  can cause a bad case of cabin fever.    On a positive note,  I am very happy  to announce that her bed-rest ordeal  is now over!  No more bed-rest for this lovely lady;  she had her sweet baby boy yesterday!   Congratulations!   We are looking forward to meeting your new bundle of joy!
