Austin Family Lifestyle Photography

02.08.2017

Family is a craftsman’s best piece of work. A rather successful one requires a lot of hand-in-hand and growing together as one. It is a work of art that requires immeasurable patience, hard work and love. Earlier today, I was blessed to photograph a great example of family. They recently welcomed Baby C – adopted just a few weeks ago out of state – into their loving home. It’s obvious she is loved by brothers, parents and grandparents to call her forever own. Continue on to see more from their Austin family lifestyle photography session.

Tara contacted me just last week after having “poured over many photos” before stumbling upon my website. We instantly connected and chatted for a while, surprised our paths had not yet crossed. They spend half the year away so I’m glad the stars aligned today. Grandparents arrived earlier that morning, the weather was perfect and the boys were a joy to work with. I almost didn’t want to leave. . . but they had some bribes to cash in post-shoot.

Austin Photographers Dream Come True Shoot

02.03.2017

If you’re in need of a boost, you’ve come to the right place. Here’s a family I’ve loved working with over the last three years. From Leila’s cake smash, to her first birthday party, quickly followed by Lawson’s maternity and newborn portraits, and then a bubble bath session, I have enjoyed the photos and working with them – every time a little more. Yesterday was no exception; I met these lovely friends for a “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” inspired shoot and to call it a photographer’s dream come true wouldn’t be enough. I know you’ll enjoy them as much I as I do so get ready to swoon in three, two, one . . . austin photographers

What I love most about Sandy is her enthusiasm and discerning taste when it comes to her family’s photographs. (** OK and she’s got some pretty rockin’ dance moves too! **) To transform Leila into a modern-day Audrey, we came up with a straight lined, elegant black dress with a mesh neckline so darling and so interesting. Sandy added a few timeless touches including long, black satin gloves and a tiara. I happened to have a pair of enormous clip-ons which Leila delightfully wore because any child of Sandy’s is destined for a life of fabulousness. Those bling-y earrings gave the photographs wow factor without competing with her hair ornament.

Austin Children Photographer || Let Me Color Your World

01.26.2017

What started as a generous holiday gift grew into a treasured set of heirlooms. When a relative gave the Starches a gift card for a session with this Austin children photographer, this family of three jumped at the chance.

This international family – Alex is a native Austinite, while Amrita hails from Barbados – felt right at home in the shoot’s downtown, urban setting. The industrial backdrop proved the perfect foil for this family’s love of nature and bright, colorful outfits – and personalities!

Birthing Photography Austin TX || Seventh Heaven

01.23.2017

Birthing photography of a precious new one presents a special challenge for photographers. First & foremost, just getting to the shoot in time for baby’s delivery isn’t a given. Ziem was packed and ready to go when she received mama Jenna’s text from the hospital. However, baby decided to make an early appearance. Baby and Jenna’s epidural dose arrived simultaneously! birthing photography austin tx

In addition to the uncertain timing, the setting of most birthing photography provides another test for photographers. Between the harsh hospital lighting, the small spaces of the average room, and the private nature of many newborn moments, it takes a special photographer to get shots both flattering to mom and new baby. Luckily Ziem was more than up to the task, though this sweet bunch made it as easy as could be for her. Jenna, glammed up for this special occasion complete with hairdo & makeup, glowed!

Ziem’s birthing photography philosophy is to emphasize the beautiful parts of the birthing process while recognizing that some moments are private. She captures those exciting moments of early life, including baby getting weighed, measured, nursing, and meeting siblings.

The older Simpson kids proved to be incredibly sweet and well behaved. This is no surprise given their equally sweet parents, but it made for an extra-special shoot nevertheless.

Ziem loved capturing these fleeting moments for Jenna! These first shots as a family of seven are particularly priceless and will make timeless family keepsakes. Seventh heaven indeed!

Austin Baby Photography || Cake Smash Cuteness

01.20.2017

One of the perks of working with an Austin baby photographer over the years is the relationship that develops. Starting with a engagement session to a wedding to baby Chandler’s newborn photos, Ziem has worked with the Beahm family from the get-go and really gets their fun-loving and stylish flair for life. When it came time for the Beahms’ most recent milestone – Chandler’s first birthday party – Ziem knew just how to capture the smashing festivities. (Apologies for the bad joke, the first of many to come.)

The party was full of mama Kifany’s signature style, including Chandler’s “One” onesie, fur vest, and moccasins. The coordinating banner and cake topper were the icing on the proverbial cake (“cake“, get it? Told you there were more awful bits to come.)

Dainty Chandler didn’t take to the cake smashing at first, but after an icing assist she quickly caught on. Kifany removed the decor details and Chandler’s onesie to allow for more messy fun. Ziem made sure to snap photos of both the picture perfect “before” and “after”, sensing the latter would be a family favorite snap for years to come.

The party setting provided that ample natural light Ziem loves to chase. Between the light and the genuine looks of surprise by the family, who had no idea the cake smash photo debut was on the agenda, it made for a sweet (“sweet“, haha! Last one, I promise) setting.

What a joy it was for Ziem to see the hearts Chandler melted with her cake smash cuteness. Thanks to the Beahms for years of support – here’s to the next big milestone!
