The Guptas’ Newborn Session

Capturing a young family grow is rewarding beyond measure. A few years back, I photographed the Gupta family for their daughter Mia’s cake smash. We had met through a client of mine and they wanted keepsake photos of her first birthday party. The event was wildly adorable and remains my #1 favorite. (More of cake smash goodness here.) Luckily, this new round of photos was just as sweet.

From her cake smash, I remembered Mia as a lovely, photogenic one-year-old. Now, she was little girl! Most importantly, she recently became a big sister to newborn Tristan. It was high time to mark these milestones with some new family photos, including updated photos of Mia and newborn portraits of baby brother Tristan.

To top it off, the Guptas had just finished reconstructing their new home, which would be the gorgeous backdrop for the newborn photography session. The interior was mostly white, so we kept the colors neutral for a classic result. We shot in stunning new spaces, such as their living room, play room and entryway. A win-win for timeless family photos.

We scheduled the newborn photography session around nap time, but with kids sometimes things don’t go according to plan. When I arrived, Mia was more interested in her coloring books and toys. Both photographers and clients must be flexible when working with toddlers. It’s better to wait for them to come around, than to force the session.

And what a beautiful session it turned out to be! The new home framed the Gupta family in great light. Mia looked cute in a navy-striped summer dress and Tristan was a loveable newborn in soft grays. My favorite shot had Tristan in his bassinet and big sister Mia welcoming him home. We set the shot by their front door to capture this unforgettable moment. These two cuties made the photo session twice as nice. austin newborn photography in home

In-home sessions used to have a bad rap but they have come a long way in the last decade or two. Think harsh lighting, stiff poses and traditional blankets, and you’ve got a visual of my childhood attempts as a photographer. I photographed this family, new-ish from Australia, last week. I can absolutely say the resulting images were an improvement and a stark contrast to those from my junior high days.

The Mamelaks

This has to be one of my most fun and animated clients to date. Of course the wife and three sons also bring it to the session every time! Any time I get the opportunity to work with the Mamelaks, it’s sure to be an adventure. I love that Miriam doesn’t give in and cave in to what’s practical for photographing boys. They are always perfectly polished and unafraid to run wild and crazy. austin family photographers mamelak

Miriam totally defies this who Mom of Boys thing. As a matter of fact, she’s not giving up her beautiful, curly tresses, leather boots, or gold studded belt to keep up. She still wears lipgloss. With FOUR spontaneous and adventurous boys, she can play Star Wars and Transformers. I think she draws the line at hockey – that’s all Dad! In fact, we had to schedule our session around their family sport. He’s Canadian, after all. austin family photographers mamelak

It was such a pleasure meeting this family for photos — YESTERDAY! Mom is originally from Austin, and the family lived in NYC for some time before returning to Austin this summer. I’m extremely thrilled when we can add an element of excitement and fun to a session. Since little Teddy will be turning one soon, she chose the perfect cake with an incredible teddy bear and gorgeous details.

Big Brother Henry wasn’t so keen on being photographed, initially. But the parents remained calm and gave him all the time he needed. It was not long before we were able to capture some of his best smiles. I even got in a little cardio, chasing him around. These boys are absolutely sweet and I do give the parents a lot of credit for helping making this session so successful with their preparation and flexible attitude.

When it came time for the smashing, I knew that Teddy would either cry or be totally indifferent to the beautiful cake in front of him, or that he’d be intoxicated by that first taste of sugary confection and maul the cake like a bear should. Obviously, it was definitely not the former. Teddy was all smiles as soon mom placed the cake before him. He showed interest and barely sampled a bite, even attempting to crawl away from the cake at one point. By the time he got the hang of things, we were able to get some incredible memories for this family. It was a total mess, but so worth it!

Dreams are made of this very Austin family photography session. First of all, the perfectly preppy children. Even more, the sun-kissed fields of joy and the baby that let me hold her on my left hip while I clicked away at her parents with my right finger. This was by far one of my more successful sessions including a toddler of late. There is something deeply special about the simplicity of these images.

And I don’t need to have a son to know how special this mother-son relationship truly is. It was so hard to pick my favorite shot of the duo. Something tells me maybe she’s the woman he’ll love the longest.

We made the connection that this sweet girl played on a soccer team with my daughter and my husband was the first person they met at the park when they moved to the area. They danced, they giggled. And they nailed all of their photo goals.
