Eli {Frisco Newborn Photographer}

March 5, 2010 – 6:29 pm

This family has waited a long time for their second sweet little boy… and it was worth the wait.  He’s perfect… and is so lucky to have such a loving older brother (I heard him tell his Mommy at least 3 times that he loves baby Eli!!)  I had a great time with you all this morning….  Enjoy your preview!

PS… I will be taking a vacation for two weeks… so will be slower to return emails and calls.  Anyone placing orders will receive their prints after March 22nd.  When I return I will be starting to set up bluebonnet sessions– so keep checking back!  (I’ll also put up a few sessions I have set up while on vacation– and of course pictures of my own kids!)

ENJOY:

Somehow I missed this cutie…

February 20, 2010 – 4:28 pm

I think it was the rush of the Haiti Valentine’s Day project… (will post the total we made soon!)… but I forgot to put these cute pics up on my blog!  This little sweetie was in town visiting her cousins and I got to spend a bit of time with her!  She wasn’t so sure about me… but her mama could make her smile!

8 Days New… {Austin Newborn Photographer}

February 15, 2010 – 11:03 am

I LOVE photographing newborns– especially when they are my nephew!  If you have not seen the pictures of his birth from last weekend, scroll down… but these are pretty special too!  :)  I flew down to Austin yesterday morning, took pictures and then drove back home with my father-in-law… so it was a long day, but WELL worth it!!  You only have about 10 days to get pictures like this so I couldn’t miss that chance.  I know his Mama & Papa will be happy it worked out!  :)

The Birth of Austin Charles…

February 7, 2010 – 8:39 pm

I had the honor of photographing a 2nd birth (only a few weeks after the 1st) and this time it was my precious nephew!  Christina’s water broke at 2am, contractions started shortly after… so I raced to find people to watch my twins (husband worked yesterday) and then raced to Austin… to wait… and wait… and wait.  The sweet little boy was very content where he was and took his time coming out (finally around 10:20 last night)… but it was well worth the wait.

His mama was a CHAMP– not one complaint– took every order the nurse or doctor gave her with almost a smile…. and produced a magnificent 8lb 2oz little boy.  Congrats Jeremy & Christina— and thank you for wanting me there!  :)  By the way— Jeremy was so sweet and supportive the entire process (as you’ll be able to see from the pictures).  I could tell he wanted to take on her pain so she wouldn’t have to suffer… so sweet.  Newborn session scheduled for next weekend… so back to “Austin” we will go!  Here is some of what I captured….

PS… for any photogs wondering:  2.8 f-stop, 1100 ISO… no flash!

ENJOY:

A week old tomorrow…

January 21, 2010 – 9:29 pm

This is her first “newborn” session (not counting her actual birth and me visiting her on her 3rd day of life in the hospital!)– the 2nd one with her big brother and sister will be sometime soon, so I’ll have to post a few pics from that one too!  Little Leyla was not so tired at first… we did a few family shots, then Mommy fed her and I took over while they got to relax for a bit and I tried to convince Leyla to close her eyes and let me pose her and move her and change her… and it worked.  Love this baby!

ENJOY:
