Remember that picture perfect couple whose maternity session we recently featured? Ziem was thrilled to then photograph the next “beautiful in blue” family member, newborn Jude.

Ziem loved working with this family again at their stunning South Austin home, which provided plenty of natural light and not one not two, but three helpers in the form of two cats and one dog. The animal assistants provided plenty of entertainment during diaper changes and feedings, offering themselves as both test subjects and the Department of Quality Control (sniffing Ziem’s photography gear).

Sweet Jude couldn’t have been more darling, and he is clearly so loved already. Ziem wasn’t surprised that Noelle and Jeremy were already parenting pros a mere five days into the job. She hopes to continue documenting their journey!
