M is for Blue | Austin family photographer

So as most of you know, I am pregnant with my second child right now (though not for much longer I hope!) so things on the photography front have been slow. I was however, fortunate enough to book a couple of sessions last month. The timing has just been perfect, and with such wonderful clients to work with I know I am truly blessed.

The first of the bookings was for a family shoot. The M family found me through a national bulletin board that I frequent, so meeting the mom was like meeting an old friend. We have technically “known” each other through the board for almost 4 years now!

This family, as with all of my clients it seems, was so nice and super easy to work with. They have two adorable little ones, Miss K and Big Man C. Miss K, being almost 3 1/2 really gave me a run for my money! She is as cute as can be, but did not like to sit for long for pictures!! She reminds me of my own little man, who has serious Photographer’s Kid syndrome and runs from anything that looks like a camera! lol! But we were patient, and I think it really paid off. I got some super cute shots of her.

Big Man C – oh how he stole my heart!! He had big smiles for me when I spoke to him, but of course as soon as the camera was up the smiles, well, not so much. I guess it is hard to work up enthusiasm for a black box. hee hee! I just love, love the thumb sucking though. He was also very good about looking in my direction when I called his name. For a 6 month old, I thought that was quite the accomplishment. Isn’t he adorable?!?

This family came absolutely color coordinated. I took a chance and brought my baby blue blanket for them to sit on and low and behold, they all wore shades of blue!! It worked out perfectly. Sometimes little things like that amaze me. The color images in this shoot were so beautiful – the blues worked so well together. Even Miss K’s eyes matched! Mom was a perfect subject; no bad angles on her – she photographs so well. Poor Dad, I kept pointing them toward the sun and unknown to me he had just gone through Lasik surgery. I felt so bad when I found out I was killing his poor sensitive eyes!

You’ve got to love those little baby feet! In black and white, the image is classic. Love the wrinkles!

This shot was by far the favorite of the set. I love it in color, but the b&w really speaks to me too. Don’t they look like a fun family?

I do hope they had as much fun as I did. Even with the gigantic belly, I was still able to roll around in the grass and dirt to get these images. I came home absolutely filthy from head to toe. You know that means it was a good shoot, right?!?

Thanks to the M family for allowing me the privilege of working with you. I hope you enjoyed the time as much as I did.

Thanks for looking!
