Cake Smash Austin TX || A Smile Bigger Than Texas

Both an angel and a doll, Miss Leila squeezed in this cake smash session before her first birthday party in Austin. Despite showing up at her cake smash session sans second nap, she greeted me with a smile bigger than Texas. Cake smash photography austin tx

First, I loved the many adorable little outfits and accessories Mom provided, more than we were even able to include. Good excuse for a re-shoot! and, also, another, 

Leila’s pretty-in-pink wardrobe perfectly matched her lovingly curated wardrobe and cake, all the better for a color-coordinated cake smash.

It sounds like the old dog-ate-homework excuse, but – the trees ate Leila’s balloons during set up. Yes, really. Just as we were reluctantly preparing to move on without them, the weather gods moved the balloons low enough to where I was able to save them and the shoot. {Not before I’d ever-so-gracefully sprinted across the park with a background stand which I used to retrieve said balloons.} The life of a family photographer is indeed part artist, part athlete . . . .furthermore, finally, in addition

What started with this cake smash evolved into a longstanding client relationship over the years. In fact, I recently shot Leila’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s themed shoot, apropos of her upcoming 4th birthday. I’ll be there to capture that celebration too, thrilled to be working again with that Texas sized smile.

{austin newborn photography} a baby and a dog

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.

{cake smash austin} Stella’s First Birthday

I really enjoyed reliving Stella’s fun cake smash and glam birthday celebration last night. A little back story: Mom and I had the same due date when pregnant with our second child so we would continue running into each other in our obstetrician’s office. After many hours spent chatting and finding so much in common families, we listened to the universe and became friends. These guys are the best of the kind; just all around wonderful people that we are blessed to know.  cake smash austin
