We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Spring! We had a really nice day yesterday in Austin, so I took my wild haired boys outside for some kite flying and running around their favorite park!

Check my blog this weekend for an adorable newborn and early next week for my favorite set of twins who will be making their 9 month sneak peek appearance!

UPDATE!!! Only 2 Mini Session Spots Remain!!! Contact me soon if you are interested in one of them!!

Yay! We had snow in Austin today! And LOTS of it!!! There were loads happy children throughout the great state of Texas! I heard of snow reports in Houston and San Antonio too! It looked like a winter wonderland around 1pm this afternoon. My boys spent most of the day outside soaking up the snow. Some highlights of their day… Enjoy!

Meet Sweet “P” - this darling baby girl slept through her ENTIRE newborn session. Such a dream! And my infamous bunny hat is making it’s reappearance again as we march closer to Easter! Look how cute she is in it!! (She held that pose like a pro!) I hope you enjoy your sneak peek, “B” family - your daughter precious!!

Just a few snaps of my little loves from today. Gorgeous day, 70+ degrees. If only they would cooperate for pictures!

I absolutely loved every minute of this sweet baby girl’s newborn session! Her beautiful mommy and I had so much fun dressing her up in all my newborn hats and props. I absolutely love what I do! Enjoy your sneak peek, “S” family! You are blessed!

I love peeling skin on a newborn…

… almost as much as the sweet little nose and mouth on a new baby.

I hope everyone gets extra kisses and hugs today! Lots and lots of that at our home! Here is Hunter & Hayden’s Valentine’s Day card they passed out to their friends…

Hunter spent all of about 1 minute personalizing the envelopes for his classmates and a long 10 minutes decorating the ONE envelope for “Kamryn”, his first crush at preschool. He talks about her aaaalll the time! lol

I am jumping on to say that the winners of the 2009 Ella Bella Photography contest will be announced this weekend on my blog! I need a few extra days to get all the votes counted! Hang on tight for a few more days! It will be worth the wait!!

And since I can’t post without a picture…

My first official session of 2010 is tomorrow (identical twin newborns!!) and it kicks off the start of a busy fun year at Ella Bella Photography! Yay!!!! Lots of sneak peeks coming your way along with more guest appearances of my own two boys… I’m going to make more of an effort to photograph them this year since I missed out on several milestones last year just trying to keep up with the business side of photography! For me, 2010 is all about making memories and capturing the moments that matter. I hope you will be a part of it with me!

PS. My contest ends Friday at 6pm! See below and spread the word about Ella Bella Photography to get qualified to win!
