Don’t believe me?  See for yourself:

Love this one, right down to the little pursed lips 

And even though big sister wasn’t officially there for a session, I just couldn’t resist her blue eyes either 

To their Mom, *A*, your gallery will be up in a couple of days!

Until next time,

Tammy

See?!  See?!  Totally cute:

I had a great time meeting baby *g* and his parents, they drove in from Marshall for the session.  I think it was worth the trip, I loved what we ended up with.  Gallery coming soon!

Until next time,

Tammy

Anyway, this sweet family is from Austin and a referral from a friend and neighbor via facebook <waving to J!>.  And even though it was incredibly warm hot the evening of the shoot, and we later ended up at my studio, we had a great time.

We started out with some family fun – Mom, Dad and six month old *w*.  I have been so lucky to get such great captures with families lately, this one was no exception (if I do say so myself!):

Love these of Mom and baby *w* – yum!

Next, we decided to make the short drive to the studio for a few shots.  This wasn’t in the original plan, but it worked out fabulously.  Mom couldn’t have picked the wardrobe more perfectly for my space.  See for yourself:

And this one makes me smile every time I look at it — oh, this little face!

Thanks, *R* family — it was great    Gallery coming in a few days, hang tight!

Until next time,

Tammy

Anyway, I thought I would do something different and let baby *G* just hang out.  Sometimes, we work so hard getting the newborns all curled or placed in a basket (which I love and is always beautiful), that we miss some of who they really are.  Those adorable expressions and funny faces are a glimmer of a real little person, albeit a small, wrinkled one!  So, we just laid him down and I simply shot.

And here you have it, the many (and very cute!) faces of baby *G* :

Next, an image of Dad and baby *G* (I have a very similar shot in color of Dad and big brother on the main site):

*K* is such a good Mommy.  She’s the type who is always perfectly prepared with snacks, toys, wipes, lots of patience and fun activities.  I hope I captured what a warm and loving Mom she truly is:

And of course we photographed the whole family.  There were so many relaxed and fun shots, I had a hard time choosing.  But something about the happiness in this one tugs at my heart:

And since I had gone outside my box earlier, I stepped right back in to do just a few curled “newborn” shots (totally making fun of myself here).  This one was a favorite:

Thanks *G* fam – your gallery is almost ready, I’ll be in touch soon!

Until next time,

Tammy

Some of Dad with his little bumblebee:

A few with Mommy:

and finally, all the rocking, “shooshing”, patting, and patience is worth it to get this:

Thanks *B* family, I look forward to watching little *b* grow!  See you soon…

Tammy

We started out with a few shots on my white sofa (I adore my little sofa!).  There is something so special about capturing a family together in those first few days… it’s all so fresh, with this new little person who seems like a stranger in some ways, yet seems to “fit just right” in so many other ways…

Next, a shot of Mom with her newest boy… and by the way, how lucky am I to have such pretty clients?  They make my job so easy:

Can’t forget the proud Dad…

And of course, I have to include one of big brother.  I snuck this shot as he was having fun making snow angels on my white shag rug 

Now, a few shots of baby *B* by himself.  He is a beautiful baby boy, with the prettiest dark skin:

And the next one, when I took it, I almost (seriously) screamed with joy.  I so *heart* everything about it…

Thanks *W* family for coming back to see me, I just love your little family!

Until next time,

Tammy

Letting the world know how old he is:

Rockin’ the shirt:

He looks really demure here, but I bet he was looking down trying to think of a way out, ha!

Mom has been getting a black and white head shot from of all his milestone sessions (newborn, 3 month, 6 month, 9 month, one year).  Really, it’s such a good idea and I bet it makes an awesome wall display, seeing his growth documented that way.  Next time I’m over that way, I may have to invite myself over to see it    Anyway, here’s one of our possible head shot images, I just loved his expression here:

Happy Birthday baby *C* !

Until next time,

Tammy

This particular couple was so fun to watch with their sweet baby boy *R*.  I can truly say they seem to have blossomed with his arrival.  Back at the end of December, when the *E* and *S* came for their maternity session, they were such a sweet couple, though quiet – almost a little shy.  Since they had never met me before, this wasn’t a total surprise (especially from the dad-to-be!).  But, when they came in for the newborn session, they were both so… well, joyful!  There were lots of laughs, they were full of smiles and you could tell how much love they had for baby *R*.  The session was a blast, I tried some new things and really like the results… have a peek for yourself!

How cute are they?!?:

Actually getting this shot was a bit funny… let’s just say a couple of people got wet    But, I think it was so worth it:

I love this one:

I think they think he’s pretty cute (and he is!):

Since baby *R* is about a month old, I wasn’t sure we’d be able to get this one, but I’m so glad we did:

More blogging to come!

Until next time,

Tammy

Baby *h* was wide awake when we first started our session, so I had Mom just snuggle her while I clicked away :

After a little bit of work, she finally drifted off:

More sleeping (it didn’t last long!) – but isn’t she just lovely?  I think her mouth looks like a perfect little bow:

Thanks to Mom *B* and Grandmother *T* for bringing your sweet baby to me to photograph.  I enjoyed every minute of it!

I’m off to work on several galleries that need to go up, so if you’re waiting on one, hang tight!  I’ve had some computer issues (ick) this week that have slowed me down.

Until next time,

Tammy
