This sneak peek is long overdue! (My sincere apologies to the “T” family! My computer crashed last weekend and their unedited photos from this session were stuck on my dead computer! After some magic and several days of nail biting, the wonderful people at Star Tech PC were able to save their pictures!) We met back at my favorite “farm” for little B’s 18 month old portraits! Enjoy your sneak peek!

This little guy has the best smile – what a fun session!
This sweet baby girl came 3 weeks early! Little Miss “E” is sooooo cute!!! Her favorite way to lay is to put her hand up by her head – a natural when it comes to newborn posing!She did great and even gave me this HUGE smile… Enjoy your sneak peek, “W” family!
(More sneak peeks coming soon – had a bit of a computer fiasco on Friday (my trusty computer died (literally) but I’m going to pick up my recovered “data” (ie. unedited session pictures) tomorrow evening! – Good news is that everything was saved!)

Update! Wow!! I’m amazed at all the responses I’ve gotten from this fundraiser for sweet Layla! Thank you all for the incredible outpouring of support for this sweet family!
UPDATE: ALL FULL!!
Please tell a friend about this blog post after you are done reading it!!! Help spread the word so we can help this precious family!!
Sweet little Layla Grace, age 2, went home to Heaven yesterday after battling 10 months with neuroblastoma, a rare form of childhood cancer. My heart has been so heavy for this family since I found out about her a few months ago. I’ve been down on my knees more times praying for little Layla than I have for my own children. She was truly an angel and brought out the best in everyone who was touched by her heartbreaking story. She leaves behind two sisters, age 4 and age 9. Her parents, Ryan and Shanna, have been the connection between all of us and sweet Layla, updating their Twitter regularly and posting heartfelt blog posts as they coped with the reality that their baby girl wasn’t going to win her battle with cancer.
I can’t imagine their loss. I can’t imagine waking up tomorrow with their reality. And all the tomorrows that follow. And being strong for their other two precious daughters. And keeping Layla’s legacy alive. And facing the mountain of medical bills that lay waiting to be paid….
So, I am going to do something with my sadness for this sweet family and I want you to be a part of it!
I’m having a one-day Layla Grace Mini Session Fundraiser on Sunday, April 11th from 2-5pm!
What: Layla Grace Mini Session Fundraiser!
Where: Mayfield Park

* Additional prints and a special “Layla” digital collection package can be purchased after your gallery is available! 50% of all print and digital collection purchases will go towards Layla Grace’s Fund!

This is an awesome way to raise money for them. I haven’t been following them long but she has touched me. She was one day older than my oldest daughter and my heart is just heavy thinking about what they are going through. I just wanted to say Thank you!
Wow Elle – what a great idea! I wish I was in TX and could take one of these spots. Blessings to you as you continue to bless others….this little girl has certainly touched many hearts.
The trees are budding around Austin, the green grass is returning and I’m starting to find patches of wildflowers! It’s almost Spring! We’ve had an unusually cold winter in Austin, so we are all anxiously awaiting the arrival of warmth, and flowers, and days spent outside playing under the sun.
Remember these adorable babies? These twinkies are 9 months old now! You can take a walk back through memory lane and see their newborn session and their 6 month portraits. So much growth happens during the first year of life! I love watching my baby planners grow up! (Little Miss “C” is also the 2009 Ella Bella Photography portrait of the year winner!) Enjoy your sneak peek, “F” family! See you in a few months!!
