Remember last week when we talked about “the third time’s the charm?” in Austin family photography? It’s lucky number three again today, with the DeMartino family returning to Ziem for their third shoot.

The DeMartinos moved here from Chicago aka “the windy city“, and were referred to Ziem by a friend & fellow client. Speaking of weather, poor Mom worked so hard to coordinate the perfect fall family outfits for this shoot, only to have our infamously fickle Texas weather turn hot the day of.  Everyone was perfectly pulled together nevertheless.

T is the sweetest big brother, and Miss G is all girl – and one Ziem sees often, in fact, as one of her daughters & Miss G attend the same preschool. It is wonderful to see Miss G’s sunny smile at drop-off.

As always, Ziem is honored to have worked with the DeMartinos over their first year in Austin & looks forward to many more shoots in the future!

Proving that old adage “the third time’s the charm“, after two cancellations on account of rain and one busted lip Ziem was so thrilled the Nacol family shoot finally happened – and with spectacular results.

Repeat customers, the Nacol family also had their newborn photography done by Ziem. Just as before, the camera just loved this good-looking bunch.

The shoot location, chosen by the Nacols, produced one of our photographer-in-chief’s favorite family shots with Austin in the background. Another client request, a shot of the boys reading against a tree, worked out wonderfully as well.

Ziem thanks the Nacol family for the opportunity to work with them again, even after the weather & injuries conspired against it this time. You know how the saying goes, after all . . .

Happy birthday, sweet Lawson!

Organizing your typical family shoot comes a whirlwind of planning for most families – getting a time & place where everyone can meet, for starters – and it is especially true for multigenerational shoots, but the resulting family shots are oh-so-worth it:

Ziem was thrilled to work with the Goldberg family on another shoot, this time with multiple generations. Despite the challenges of organizing the various family members here – with thanks to the Mullen family for moving their session to accommodate this one – the very sweet Goldbergs assembled on a perfect fall day, with the thrill of football and confetti in the air (literally!), to enjoy this excuse to spend much-needed time together.

The precious boys even remembered Ziem from their last shoot & were just as fun to work with as the last time, with the girls being at that perfect age for a family shoot – still adorable yet able to listen to our photographer-in-chief’s directions.

Ziem was honored to be part of such a special occasion. Receiving the family’s holiday card & seeing these sweet faces again was the best photographer’s reward. This family’s love for one another & appreciation of this too precious time together was all too apparent – and it shows in the photos, don’t you think?
