Oh how they change { Austin Baby Photographer }

I mentioned in my last post how much babies change, and how quickly it happens. I see it time and time again, and it amazes me everytime. However, one little guy that just stunned me when it came to changing, was baby L. HOLY COW!

I was in shock and at the same time marveling over his cute, squishably, pinchable baby cheeks. Shocked because I was remembering newborn baby L. The little guy that arrived 6 weeks ahead of schedule.

Who walked in the door? Big boy baby L. And he was sitting and ready to go! Mom warned me he changed, but wow! Total Proof below!

READY?

Super cute. Super fun. Super Happy!


The blogging resolution. Keep. On. Going. { Austin Baby Photographer }

I am coming to terms with how tough it is to blog each day like I had hoped I would be able to do by now. I give major kudos to all of my friends and photogs that can keep up with it so often! HOW do you all do it? I am still trying, but each day the sun sets and I have gone another busy day without blogging. I could come up with a gazillion excuses, like my asthmatic Son who has been in and out of Dell, the busy nights of homework, the late hours my Husband works, how absolutely drained I am and then there is the sessions I am working on editing. But then I stop and think to myself...That's all GREAT stuff to be blogging about! Well, not GREAT, but it's STUFF!! Hopefully I can get through this blog breakdown. :)

Speaking of sessions, I spent the last couple of weekends with the most precious babies!
My first weekend back to work was so fun! Coincidentally it was only 6 month old babies all weekend, which just so happens to be one of my favorite ages to photograph. It really gave me the jump start back into shooting that I have been needing. Since being on vacation from Xmas break was SO long, I almost forgot how much I absolutely LOVE what I do.

Here is a couple from one of the sessions the first weekend back.

This is my second session with little E and his family. He came prepared with cute little outfits, his shining personality, and fingers ready to eat. And by the way, doesn't he have the most gorgeous baby blues?


He will be back again for his one year session, and I can't wait to see how much more he has grown.


These babies grow up so fast and is one reason I urge people not to miss out on capturing the little details, and the little personalities and expressions that will all fade and change way too soon. Don't wait till it's too late. Capturing family portraits, the interactions, the love, the kisses and how little hands are next to ours when they are babies, is so important. We forget the details of yesterday. In a blink of an eye, or the snap of a shutter, the moment is gone forever. Don't let those memories grow away!








My favorite below. E, stops to have a little munch on his tiny fingers. I LOVE when they do that! *YUMMY. MELTALICIOUS. BABY.*


Time & Simplicity ::Austin Texas Children's Baby Studio Photographer::

Whats up with how fast time flies now a days? Seems like I am always documenting my children's lives through photography, but when it comes to actually having time to do anything in the studio, I realize how long it has been since the last time!

The last "studio" styled photo I captured of Jonah, he looked so baby-ish! Now...he just looks more like a big kid. Where did my baby go?

I love all sorts of photography styles, believe me! But when it comes right down to it, I have to say there is just SOMETHING that I love about the polished look of studio lighting. I love capturing simple, clean, pure images! I don't add very much in processing, I don't add textures or any of that. I like clean defining lines and backdrops that don't distract. I love all of the stunning faces and I like to get in them!

I get lost in my sons eyes when I look at a photo of him locking his eyes to my lens. I will always be able to look back at this and see every tiny detail on his precious little face at 2 and a half years old. This is usually my favorite thing about photographing babies & children, And it isn't easy. You would think that I had this child trained to sit still and "strike a pose". That is NEVER the case with any child especially my son! I actually think my kids are the hardest to capture. I connect, watch and wait for just the right moment to get just what I am looking for, and I hope that is exactly what my clients look for in a special image of thier child too. They say eyes are the window to the soul, and that's exactly what I do my best to connect with and preserve...for me and for my clients.

10 Times Better! ::Austin Children's Photography Studio::

Woo hoo!

Finally my calendar works and so now you can go in and look at dates and completely book on your own. I have the new payments page set up, so booking and payments should be easier than ever!

I am so excited because today is my oldest daughters birthday. She is turning 10! As we enjoyed our morning before they trotted off to school, there seemed to be a trend. Everything "TEN" kept popping up. Seemed like every commercial either said "TEN" like a million times, or had a number 10. Or said "tonight at 10!" We were watching the Duggars on some zoo adventure this morning, and they kept saying "ten" Just seemed tooooo weird. Or maybe we hear the word ten everywhere all the time but we just never really pay attention?

Soooo...since everything is all about the number 10 today, it's my first baby's 10th birthday and I am totally off my rocker...(LOL) I have decided to offer this:


Book a full session within the next 10 days (for any date up until April 1st) and get a full high resolution CD for only $10.00!

And get this!! ADDED BONUS!!

The first person to book and does so before 10:00pm tonight, will also get a gorgeous 10x10 float wrap absolutely FREE! Float wraps are a fun, new edgy way to display your precious family without the need for framing. It comes ready to hang like canvas does!








Now how's that for a "TEN"MPTING offer?? I know, corny right?
Oh and don't forget to comment on my blog if you can! I love to hear what you have on your mind!

"Hey Miss Tiffany! Whats new?"

Okay...SFK New years resolution; Post more often! So that's exactly what I will try to do. I know that my SFK Face Book fan page as well as my blog gets a little dull, well... wait... A LOT DULL, so I will try to keep it up.

I am almost ready to get back to shooting again since I have been on my wonderful winter break. Although I have loved taking a break, I also miss working. I miss all of those cute, silly, laughing little faces that change and grow so quickly. It amazes me how much they grow in a matter of one year!

2010 sessions kick off the first weekend of Feb, and while the first weekend is already booked, I do have other weekends that have some room, so hurry on in, especially if you would like something cute for spring & Easter!

If you have visited SFK at least one time in 2008 & 2009 (once for each year) you qualify for VIP session pricing and that will always stay the same as long as you visit at least once a year.

I have some interesting things going on this year so stay tuned because there are big plans and some really awesome promos with NICE incentives through out the year, so stay tuned.

:) Happy New Year everyone!!-Miss Tiffany

Have Camera. Will Travel. The "F" Family Sneak Peek :: Austin On Location Urban Downtown Family Childrens Photographer

Yesterday was a really busy day for me with a multiple session day in studio and out.
It started great, came to a close FANTASTICALLY, and I honestly did not want this session to end! Had I not run out of card space, I would have been shooting till the sun went down!

This family fits my style to a TEE! She knew exactly what I was all about when I said Modern Children's Photography, and had everyone dressed for the occasion. I absolutely loved it!

I loved it even more because I got to get out and explore parts of Austin I never even knew existed. I knew it was good out there, but this spot took the cake for me. I really hope that everyone else decides they would like to break out of the studio every once in a while and try something different and fun. Yes, this session was FUN! I have been dying to do a session like this for so long. Was the first urban downtown session I have done in over a year! One of my favorite styles to shoot. I strongly urge more families to do this. The world is our backdrop, and the options are limitless!





I love how he carted around his little drum and drumsticks the whole time.





Extremely handsome little man. The last time I saw him was in 2007, I believe he was only 8. He has grown so much.









The last time I saw this incredibly adorable little boy, he was just a lil chunk-a-munk baby. He has definitely grown to be full of life and has the FUNNIEST personality I have seen for a 2 year old...like...EVER. Mom said he was so excited to come and have his pictures taken!












I love the expressions on their faces here. Like..."Ewww! Mom & Dad...yuck!!"



Thank you "F" family! You all are awesome!
Now come on everyone! Let's get outside and explore!
**HEARTS**
