“D” Family { Austin Baby Photographer }

Next up is the “D” family’s sneak peeks! I could go on and on about this boy’s gorgeous baby blues and his sweet cheeks!! This is my second time photographing him and he just gets cuter and cuter!! He was making me go through my entire stand-up baby comedy act to get him to smile! He would clench his lips together with a little grin, trying to hold in the actual smile… well… just like this…

Too cute!:)

We did get some cute smiles out of him ~ the old fashioned way!:)

Dreamy { Albuquerque & Austin Family Photographer }

I’ve been looking forward to sharing these sneak peeks from my good friend and fellow photographer, Bethany Dawn (see her website here!) from our trip to Albuquerque early this month! We met at the most beautiful flower garden with these amazing tall wildflowers and dreamy sunlight! We have nothing like this in Austin – you’d never guess this session took place in Albuquerque, NM!! So lush with blooms, these sneak peeks feel more like spring than fall! Enjoy your sneak peeks, “B” family! Miss you much!

Twice as Nice { Austin Newborn Twins Photographer }

Twins completely tug at my heartstrings. Growing up, I had a lot of twin friends. In our neighborhood alone, we had 3 sets of twins on our block. I love the idea of growing up with someone by your side from day one, your best friend. Sharing life, friends, stories, secrets with someone who knows you better than anyone else. Never really being alone because you’ve been together since before your first breath…

These twin boys are bonded already. The only time they were truly peaceful was when they were together…

Like two puzzle pieces…

So sweet.

One had the sweetest curls…

and I just love brand new bellies…

Thank you for inviting me to photograph your adorable twin boys, “C” family. I hope you enjoyed your sneak peek!
