{austin engagement} Natalie + Michael

** Editor’s update: be sure to also check out their wedding, Natalie’s bridal, and the new family newborn session **

After a whirlwind four days of nonstop SXSW and birthday coverage, I’ve been enjoying some down time with the littles before the fun picks right back up tomorrow where you’ll find me at Willie Nelson’s Ranch. Thanks, Liv by Design, for having me!!

I am finally getting around to sharing my favorites from a recent engagement shoot, set against a few fun Austin backdrops and featuring a couple who couldn’t be any sweeter even if they tried. I don’t think I’ve had clients more soft-spoken or kind than Natalie and Michael. They’re both runners so of course Michael would propose to Natalie during one of their runs along Town Lake. The couple’s dog, Tyson, met us in that exact location and stole the show for a very brief period, using this stunning couple as props in his selfie. How cute is he?

Natalie is going to make such a stunning bride and I’m looking forward to being there on their wedding day in June!

Here is my favorite shot from a recent newborn session, just in time for the holidays. I’m getting nostalgia over the distinct smell, tiny features and gentle cries of this precious newborn baby. Little babies just don’t keep! I know that in a few short months, Mom and Dad will look back on these photos and forget how small their child once was. The first few weeks quickly become a blur all too soon and I feel privileged to have captured memories that will help jog their memory someday soon.

Baby + dog. Could there be more cuteness in one picture?

And in case you missed it, here are their maternity portraits.
