I felt privileged to be a part of a very special time in the Lynch family’s life last week. Their four girls were told they’d be recipients of a very special surprise (or five) after dinner. Desiree started by delivering a very short, sweet and sentimental letter to the girls. . . Family Lifestyle Photographer Austin TX

Desiree then presented them with cake. Before bedtime! On a school night! See, she is already a much cooler mom than I am.

A little back story – a big deal was made about Baby Girl #4, nicknamed “Fin” for Finale. Well now that she (and her sisters) have survived their move from Chicago to Austin and settled into their new schools here, it would be an appropriate time to add another two feet to their home. They say “Everything’s Bigger in Texas” so get on your feet and get those trumpets ready for “Encore”, expected arrival April 2017.

Desiree made the most delicious cake and surprised the girls with filling which represented the baby’s gender. The girls’ reactions could be described as: shock, awe, confusion, and “Is the baby inside the cake?”

I had the best time. Adore this family and their love. Welcome to Austin, Lynches!

When shooting new clients, photographer-in-chief Ziem never knows which aspect of a family will reveal itself first. The Revels family quickly showed theirs – joy – via a burping lesson, naturally.

The Revels, who won a photography package generously donated by Ziem to their children’s elementary school silent auction, are obviously a fun-loving bunch. Mama Revels asked Ziem to try and capture the kids’ true smiles versus the forced ones they tend to give on camera. Ziem met her goal, along with candid shots of the kids interacting and more, master child wrangler that she is.

The classically attired Revels kids helped Ziem throughout the shoot. The seven-year-old introduced himself to Ziem immediately, while the four-year-old paused mid-session to thank her for documenting their joy. The other two Revels contributed by generally being adorable. The fading light of the park setting and the airplanes drifting through the skies made for ideal shoot conditions and little boy entertainment. first of all since most of all

Speaking of entertainment, this crew – photographer included – couldn’t stop laughing. From silly face making to the aforementioned big boys teaching little brother how to burp, this family’s affection for one another is clear.

Ziem wrapped up the shoot just before the rain began – an ideal ending to an ideal shoot!

Ziem couldn’t be happier that the Revels won her school donation. She can’t wait to see them at future shoots and on the t-ball field. Her daughter & one of the Revels play for the same team. Speaking of fun candid moments . . . !

Loved everything colorful, bold and fun about this session . . .

not least of which was the part where one broke loose, rolled down a hill, and landed in mud.

But not before we captured a lot of magic, prints, patterns, and giggles on camera.

For the Aghamalian family, there’s no shortage of that accessory. Ziem was thrilled to photograph this happy clan in their beautiful home after an introduction by mutual friends. Mama Aghamalian is very active in the community, serving as Dell Trust chair this year. Speaking of, aren’t you just loving all the Dell Miracle Book memories? Jenny’s care for others, starting at home, comes across on camera.

Indeed, the entire Aghamalian bunch is a fun-loving, photogenic crew who eagerly welcomed Ziem into their home. The girls, dressed in matching monogrammed attire, first led Ziem to their rooms to show her their prized possessions. Brother Dash, however, was a little shy initially but soon warmed up then took Ziem on a tour as well. The original baby of the family, Daphne the Dog, also joined in on guide duties.

Between that and their home’s ample natural light, seems like the setting couldn’t have been better for showcasing this loving bunch.

After the session ended, Big Sister conducted a family poll about their Austin family photography experience – and gave Ziem five out of five stars! Our photographer-in-chief couldn’t have asked for a better review or client experience. In the end, those smiles just make the session. In case you missed the sneak peek . . .
