Downtown and South Austin Fun

Every year is seems our Beaubaby moms are coming up with fun and unique ways to capture the holiday spirit. This past holiday season was no different. I got the chance to photograph families at the park, the lake and even downtown Austin. (I know, I know this is a "little" past the holiday season. I'm working on being a better blogger I promise.)

Here is a little taste of a downtown holiday session I did last year. We went all over downtown from the Driskill, to the Four Seasons and we even ventured into South Austin to photograph in front of Amy's Ice Cream and Hey Cupcake.

A Day at the Park

Susi's Thoughts: Growing up as the youngest child of 3 siblings, with a gap of eight years between myself and my next older brother, at times I felt like an only child. I always wished that I had siblings that were close to my age to share the joy of growing up and playing together, so when I had the opportunity to photograph these four girls, ranging in age from 6 months to 5 years old, I was really excited to document these sisters interacting with one another. It was so interesting to me to witness how each girl expressed her own distinct personality while also sharing in a larger family dynamic. Jenn and I met the family at Ramsey Park, where I enjoyed spending time following each sister individually and documenting her adventures on the playground. We also took some time to have fun taking big group shots of the whole gang. The most touching aspect of the experience was seeing how the older sisters naturally fulfilled their roles, watching after their younger siblings with such sweetness and care!

Jesse, One Year Later!

JENN'S THOUGHTS:

I love it when we get to photograph the same kids over time! I know then that Beaubaby is becoming a real part of building a family record and legacy that actually shows how a child and family was, and not just what they looked like! That is my favorite thing, to be able witness and capture real family moments and the particular moment and phase of childhood.

Courtney and I were talking about how she has NO pictures of her mother from when she was growing up. She really wishes those images had been made! Sometimes we think we need to look our best to be ready for photos, when really, just interacting and being with our kids and having a photographer document that is beautiful in ways we can't even anticipate.

I'm posting some of my favorite pictures from Jesse's session last week. He loves blowing bubbles, and wears the cutest Keen shoes. He is still into his sippy cup, but I'm willing to bet that will all change by next year...

Thank you to Denise, Michael and to Jesse, for inviting me back again!
