New Baby Girl | Austin Newborn Photographer

I really enjoyed spending the morning with the “R” family last week and their adorable new baby girl, Miss “E”. I’m in love with her name! (Makes me think of one of my favorite country songs every time I hear it.) This new family of 4 is absolutely gorgeous! They were so much fun to photograph. Congratulations on the birth of your second daughter and I hope you enjoy your sneak peeks!

These 3 are Turning 3! | Austin Child Photographer

My favorite trio is turning 3 years old this weekend and last weekend they made the trip to Austin for a photo session with me! It was a lot of fun chasing them around the park, asking them questions about life as a three year old, and watching the excitement in each of their eyes over selecting their favorite gummy bear treat at the end of the session. Their 3 month old baby brother was super adorable and full of smiles too! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek, “G” family! (We’ll have to stop by your house on our way to Destin this summer so you can meet my boys!)

I asked them to show me how they are on their fingers…:)

Quintuplets {Joneses Quints by Surprise Photographer TLC}

I have been following the Jones quintuplets blog for many months. They are an amazing Christian family with a beautiful 4 year old daughter and now the proud parents of five adorable babies. Four baby girls and one bouncing baby boy. Born on January 16, 2009, they all spent significant time in the NICU and began coming home one by one in March. The 5th baby came home a few days ago on Saturday, April 18th. The quints “newborn” (3 month old) session took place a couple days later. It was a blast to have an opportunity to photograph these adorable babies! I bought along my photographer friend, Kristen Moore, to assist me. She was a fabulous help! Each baby had a little one-on-one time with me for their individual portraits and then we attempted the group portraits at the end. By the end of our 3 hour session, the babies and their big sister were ready to be left alone and all of us grown-ups were ready for a shower and a nap! But the end result made it worth it all… Enjoy your sneak peek, “J” family!

Here they are in birth order (L to R – First born to last):

And one sneak peek of the whole “J” family together!

Oh my goodness, what an accomplishment capturing all those babies and three bigger folks together! Wonderfully done. Those individual shots are so precious – love the sleeping smiles!

Wow, what a treat. They look great. I bet that was one busy, and messy shoot. I cant believe you knitted all those bowls. Wow. It looks like April was a slow month for you too? I had like 2 people and that was it but in may I am overbooked with 7-8! Crazy.

Lynn - April 24, 2009 - 8:47 PM

Wow is what comes to mind first! I love, love, love the individual shots. The hats are awesome! What a great set of pictures. The family is lucky to have found you! I hope the kids (all 6) continue to grow and be well!

Lynn - April 24, 2009 - 8:48 PM

Also, do you happen to have a link for the hats?

Kim - May 9, 2009 - 12:50 AM

Squeaky | Austin Duckling Photographer

Meet our new duckling, “Squeaky” – 10 days old. He was near death on day 7, left for dead by his mother, so we took him home to try to feed him baby formula. He was so weak, he couldn’t even lift his head. Within 3 hrs of drinking some formula, he was flying out of the box we had him in. He’ll be going back to the pond this weekend, but not before he had his official “duckling mini session” with Ella Bella Photography! Look at that eye contact too! He’s a natural in front of the camera!

Hayden is 1! | Austin Baby Photographer

Just a quick post to share a pic from Hayden’s 1st Birthday Cake Smash Session! I have so many more to proof but no time to get to any of them for a while. He turned one on April 4th (one week ago) and we had a fun little party for him to celebrate the big milestone! He is finally starting to crawl and talking alllll the time now (babbling). His 7th and 8th tooth just cut through his gums in the last week too! I love him so much!

My goal this Spring is to restart my family blog! I miss writing about my boys and I need to share what life is really like with two little toddlers in the house!
