There are so many first in the life of a new parent – for starters, baby’s first smile, first photoshoot, and Mom’s first text in the middle of the night when she’s up for a feeding (again). For the Aseron family, these firsts came doubled in the form of adorable boy twins.

Austin Child Photographer Family Lifestyle Aseron Mini Sessions Ziem PhotographyIt was actually one of those late night mom texts that resulted in Tara and Ziem connecting. Tara is the sister-in-law of dear friends and clients of Ziem’s. The twins were just over one year old, so Ziem was particularly happy to capture that sweet, special time in their lives. This shoot marked the first time any of the family had done a photo session. Ziem was honored to be involved with their initial one!

The Aserons’ love of art, style, and family came across in every frame. Tara requested an urban shoot setting, including striking Austin architecture, to complement their preferences. Their casual, neutral outfits, punctuated by Dad’s red plaid, looked timeless yet contemporary against the industrial backdrop.

While Twin L was happy to quietly observe the goings on, adventurous Twin T ran like the wind. Ziem got her cardio for the day keeping up, and the entire bunch was in tears laughing by the end.

The joy of this family really struck Ziem. This shoot was largely unscripted, with the happy Aserons just loving on their boys for most of the time. This candid, carefree approach allowed Ziem to capture some totally organic, very “them” moments.

There’s no time like the first time, and Ziem is thrilled she was part of the Aserons’ first photo experience! Here’s to more fun shoots (or, to Twin T, track meets) to come! Check out a few of my recent sessions in this same location below.

I met Kifany and Matt for their engagement photos many moons ago. Fortunately, it didn’t stop there. From documenting the incredible affair that was their wedding day, to their newborn photography session, to capturing Miss C in her sweet, angelic one-year glory, they have done it all with such style and grace. It was our original plan to use these latest photos for her first birthday invitations. Because the resulting images were total cuteness, Mom couldn’t resist an inaugural holiday card. best photographers in austin

I get giddy and do a happy dance when we work together because I know Kif will have taken the time to ensure that every little detail is perfection. For example, she handpicked the flowers for their flower wreaths and kept me in the loop to make certain the colors, size, and look were just right. Additionally, she texted me a handful of options for dresses. As a result, C didn’t get lost in the details. best photographers in austin

Truth be told, C wasn’t a fan of the headdress – not even for a second – and surprisingly had a strong aversion to it getting anywhere near her head. But Mom takes everything in stride and let the child lead. That is why I’m being completely sincere when I say I couldn’t handpick more perfect clients-turned-friends.

When the Cho family texted our photographer-in-chief for a last-minute holiday shoot, Ziem gladly worked them into her insanely busy schedule. With this stylish & sweet set, can you blame her? Austin Family Portrait PhotographersAustin Family Portrait Photographers Cho Austin Photography Mini Session Lifestyle Newborn Ziem Photography

The fun-loving family had previously worked with another photographer at Zilker Park, so Ziem suggested a more industrial, urban locale. It’s just one of many examples of how Ziem looks at every angle of a session, from photography wardrobe to diversifying one’s photo portfolio. They worked at sunrise, ensuring they had the space to themselves (and gorgeous start-of-day light) and made an appearance two subsequent events!

Mama Cho requested one good family shot, a shot of the boys, and individual shots for each boy. Ziem delivered that & much more!

Not only were the Chos dressed impeccably – yet comfortably, most importantly – they came prepared for every weather eventuality. True to form, Austin’s famously fickle winter weather delivered a light drizzle. The well-prepared Chos had blankets for sitting, towels for drying, and sweets for smiles, though, so the shoot went on.

The children were in full little boy form, bringing their beloved dinosaur toys to the shoot. Their love of dinos & animals alike was on full display – check out those “RAWR!” faces!

The Chos’ colorful, chic look perfectly complemented the urban shoot setting. Ziem particularly loved Dad’s “casual Friday” look – we should all be so lucky to look this fashionable on any Friday or early morning! – as well as the boys’s knit sweaters and Mom’s boots. And of course no stylish ensemble would be complete without a dinosaur as accessory and organic smiles.

Despite the end-of-year time crunch, Ziem is thrilled she was able to squeeze the Chos in. They were able to get New Year’s cards out *and* have a gorgeous portfolio of photos to treasure beyond the holiday season. Never say never to a last-minute shoot!

Family Lifestyle Photographers Austin TX || A Divine Style Session

***Now booking family lifestyle photography sessions today! Email z@ziemphotography.com for details.***

Photographers ask clients to prioritize two things above all – to dress comfortably and act like their true selves. It helps, of course, if your best selves look like they walked out of a fashion ad. This family, for example, made for one divine style session.

The Divine family (“divine“, get it???), recent transplants from Kansas, managed just that. This family of six, with four kids under five, were not only as sweet as could be, they looked every inch their “Divine” name. Ziem particularly loved their use of warm, fall clothing colors and florals, as well Mama Divine’s stylish ‘do.

Did we mention there are four Divines under five, including one set of twins? It’s a setup that would strike fear in the heart of the bravest photographer (or parent!). Nevertheless, these kids were the picture of good behavior. (“Picture“, get it??? Just a little more photographer’s humor . . .)

The Divines proved that a family session can actually be a blast. They danced to Kidz Bop, the twins ran what must have been a half-marathon, Daddy & baby sister danced, and Ziem captured everything in between. Without a set agenda from Mom to achieve a certain photo, the Divines were free to be their playful, loving selves.

In the end, a fashionable, fun-loving group like this is a family lifestyle photographer’s Austin, TX dream. Ziem looks forward to many more dancing, running, style-setting sessions to come!
