Tiny Little Cooper

Really wanted to share tiny baby Cooper with everyone. He was another recent Newbie session that I did a few weeks back. Little Cooper arrived very early and faced a few hurdles and spent some time in and out of the NICU before he could finally come home, and before I could finally shoot his session. I knew he would be tiny, but I wasn't quite prepared for the little peanut that arrived swallowed by his carseat. I think he just barely made the guidelines for fitting in his seat so he could ride home.

So Cooper is quite possibly the tiniest preemie I have worked with before, and I have done a few preemies in the past. None of them were this teensy weensy.

Despite the rough couple of weeks he faced, he was such a good baby and slept long enough for me to capture some precious moments with his family, including his big Sister & big Brother. Then quite a few of him alone too.

I recently spoke with Coopers Mommy and she says that in just a couple of weeks he has changed dramatically, and so I am guessing we captured the little guy and have the memory of how small he really was preserved forever.

Congratulations S&M! So happy you have shared your beautiful family with me the last couple of years! I have really enjoyed witnessing and documenting the growth of your family and the addition of the two boys. I hope to be around to document even more milestones of their lives.

Facebook Contest Winners {The G Family}

This last weekend I had the pleasure of spending time with the G family in the studio. The G family were the first prize winners of the Facebook Session Giveaway Contest that I was running a few months ago. Not all of my tricks and fabulous photographer charm worked with soon to be 2 year old "M". She was super aware of what was going on and wasn't quite falling for it. She outsmarted me and only gave me "the looks" when she was ready to. Of course at this age that's to be expected. She just made sure I worked extra hard. :) She's one smart cookie!

Here's a tiny sneak peek of their Saturday morning session.

Thank you to the G family for being so patient!

Baby Roman

I wanted to share a newbie shoot I did about a week and a half ago. Sweet baby Roman arrived about a week early, so I was so excited to get over to his house to do his shoot. His parents live way up in the hills overlooking gorgeous lake travis, so the atmosphere was just so tranquil and peaceful, it's no wonder Roman slept through his entire shoot. He was so good to me and even when I was done, he kept on snoozing. His Mommy and Daddy are the most laid back new parents EVER! I couldn't have asked for a better set of parents to work with, and such an easy going baby. I am so sad that they will be leaving Austin and moving to IL by September. Just made this session that much more special.

Congratulations A & E on your beautiful new baby boy!
