From baby’s first breath, it’s the parents who set the stage for their children’s approach to life. As it is with parenting, so it is with photography, where the energy parents bring to a shoot truly influences the mood of both the little ones and the photographer.
Ziem first worked with the Sterling family last year for their bluebonnets mini-session. Shortly after that shoot, the Sterlings let Ziem know they were expecting Baby #2 & booked his newborn session. Multiple weather delays later – #realaustinlife – the shoot finally happened just in time for bluebonnet season.
This year was a busy one for the Escobedas, between various school, career, and family demands, so they were ready to treat themselves to a special photo shoot at a favorite park. Mama Liz especially wanted a shot of just her and her husband Brian. Ziem was able to capture a special moment of their love.
The Escobedas welcomed precious baby brother Luke this year. Precious Luke wasn’t strong enough for solo photos yet, however, so big sister Natalie snuggled him (under close supervision!) for a few sweet snaps.
One of Ziem’s favorite aspects of working with young children is seeing their sense of wonder. For example, Luke seemed to notice grass for the first time during this shoot and became mesmerized. Ziem turned what could have proved a challenge into a plus, though. In the end she was able to snap some of the terrific solo shots Liz requested. Is there anything better than that innocent sense of wonder?
The Alvarado family, consisting of three (beautiful) kids and their (beautiful) parents, accomplished just that. To set the scene, Mama Alvarado wanted a natural setting and strictly Texas look with a touch of glamour. She got it – check out their boots! This family is stunning and ready for a fashion shoot.
Finally, middle brother Sam wasn’t excited about being photographed. This makes him consistent with 100% of Ziem’s male clients. Nevertheless, Ziem found a way to get Sam interested – grasshopper collecting.
