Austin Children Photography : Little Girl Tea Party

Is there anything more quintessentially “little girl” than a springtime tea party, filled with sweets and – of course – sweet little ladies in pretty dresses?

Austin family photographer Ziem and I took advantage of the glorious spring weather – you know those perfect three minutes weeks here in Austin when it’s neither too cold nor too blisteringly hot? – to throw our girls a proper ladies’ garden party, actual fancy tea cups included.  Ziem’s two even threw in some ballerina moves just to make things even more girly:

This toddler mama held her breath for the entirety of the shoot as my wee wild woman Paige sat down for “tea” (water) and cookies (“co-cos” in toddler speak) with Ziem’s two girls, but everyone behaved beautifully in oh-so-proper ladies’ tea fashion. Miss P was thrilled to be included in the big girl festivities and in an event (any event) involving cookies, showing that she definitely takes after her mother *coughs*.

Easter, perfect spring weather and little girls in party dresses – does it get any better? Oh, and cookies – did I mention there were cookies?

Austin Family Photography: The Family That Runs Together

A family photographer has to be quick on her feet, both mentally and physically. In the case of the Ferguson family, who Ziem had the pleasure of working with ages ago, we mean quick in the “put your running shoes on to keep up with the adorable littles” sense.

Ziem still recalls her first shoot with the Fergusons, where their oldest’s fashion sense first became apparent. Since that first session, the younger Ferguson had been born, and the family gave Ziem fair warning about their athletic younger son. And so she came ready for a workout – and got one, along with some joyful action shots.  Happily the youngest’s sweetness matched his speed.

Mama Ferguson is also the creative genius behind Ziem’s favorite local stationer The Inviting Pear, making this a match made in work heaven.

Ziem is excited to strap on her running shoes again whenever the Fergusons are ready for their next shoot!

Austin Newborn Photography – More Happiness on the Way

As a newborn photographer, I’m constantly inspired by the new life which so many families have given me the opportunity to document. I recently shared a few of my favorites from my latest newborn session and after delivering digital negatives to this sweetest family, I couldn’t resist falling in love with several more. This handsome little guy definitely earned “newest favorite newborn session” in my book. Sorry, Sunny!

There’s nothing more pure than the joy of becoming new parents, the distinct scent of a new baby, a newborn’s fuzzy lashes, the feeling of those delicate toes, and those soft shoulders. I’m also crazy about newborn photography because I know how quickly it goes and, before you know it, you’re staring at images from your newborn session and marveling at how much your baby has already changed. And it’s only been five weeks.

I am not sure if I was more moved by the fact that she’s been ours for almost half a decade or if I was more blown away by her knack for planning a celebration with such creativity and wisdom. Truly a visionary! Where did time go?

Austin Maternity Photography: That Pregnancy Glow

Maternity photography is so special to Ziem. The glow and the anticipation of a pregnant woman just makes her giddy – and she’s not (just) saying that because she doesn’t plan to go through it again herself! #byebyemorningsickness

The wintry Austin weather didn’t cooperate for the shoot, but Kim had that radiance nonetheless. Though she was near the end of her pregnancy, Kim brought both her glow & her fierce fashion sense.

Ziem thanks Kim for the opportunity to provide her with these maternity memories, and she can’t wait to meet Baby Boy for his newborn session. That Austin gloom was no match for this mama’s pregnancy glow!
