Austin Child Photographers || From the Very Beginning

From engagement to wedding, from maternity portraits to newborn sessions, Ziem has been with the Escobeda family every step of the way. In fact, they’ve formed such a bond that the Escobedas drive all the way from Dallas, stay in Round Rock, then drive another hour to work with Ziem! Those years of collaboration and they comfort level they bring show in their photos.

austin-child-family-photographers-escobeda-1This year was a busy one for the Escobedas, between various school, career, and family demands, so they were ready to treat themselves to a special photo shoot at a favorite park. Mama Liz especially wanted a shot of just her and her husband Brian. Ziem was able to capture a special moment of their love.

austin-child-family-photographers-escobeda-1The Escobedas welcomed precious baby brother Luke this year. Precious Luke wasn’t strong enough for solo photos yet, however, so big sister Natalie snuggled him (under close supervision!) for a few sweet snaps.

austin-child-family-photographers-escobeda-1One of Ziem’s favorite aspects of working with young children is seeing their sense of wonder. For example, Luke seemed to notice grass for the first time during this shoot and became mesmerized. Ziem turned what could have proved a challenge into a plus, though. In the end she was able to snap some of the terrific solo shots Liz requested. Is there anything better than that innocent sense of wonder?

This family’s love has been evident from the very beginning. Ziem is honored to have been included in their milestones along the way – and across the miles!

Austin Family Photography || A Strictly Texas Setting

Still looking for an Austin children photography fall mini-session? More dates available here.

It’s the wish of every parent who ever booked an Austin family photography session – one, just one, shot in which all kids are looking at the camera. If the setting is a rustic Texas beauty, so much the better.

To set the scene, Mama Alvarado wanted a natural setting and strictly Texas look with a touch of glamour. She got it – check out their boots! This family is stunning and ready for a fashion shoot.

Maggie proved every inch the stereotypical firstborn and only girl. She’s doting, nurturing, and the crown jewel of the family.

Next, baby brother Jack, meanwhile, just turned two and is full of life, charm, and energy. Just look at those gorgeous eyes! In typical two-year-old fashion, Jack ignored bribery offered to make him stay still. Nevertheless, Ziem managed to capture his vibrant personality on camera.

This makes him consistent with 100% of Ziem’s male clients. Nevertheless, Ziem found a way to get Sam interested – grasshopper collecting.

Ziem is thrilled to have met the Alvarados through a mutual friend and client. Photographers in Austin dream of shooting such a photogenic group, strictly Texas style!

For Austin children’s photographer Ziem, it doesn’t get any better than working with. happy, energetic kids whose parents have set the stage for a successful shoot.

The Neland family’s oldest daughter (not pictured here) is a longtime friend of Ziem’s oldest (by six-year-old standards), hence the Nelands met Ziem and became clients. So it was no surprise when the two younger Neland girls showed up to their shoot well-prepared by Mom & Dad. These laid-back beauties had tried on their outfits in advance. Importantly, they had also been encouraged by their parents to enjoy the shoot. The girls clearly picked up on that. The photographer picked up on that. As a result they showed up with great energy and big smiles.

The middle daughter Charlotte is turning four and the youngest Abigail will be one, which provided the perfect excuse for a photo session – and balloons! The girls proved very cooperative and easygoing, something they’ve clearly inherited from their parents. In fact, Ziem has never heard baby Neland cry! Their happy spirits came across on camera as the middle sister wanted to spend the entire session loving on baby.

One of Ziem’s greatest strengths as a children’s photographer is getting to know her wee clients and making them feel comfortable on camera. For example, she learned that Charlotte and her own youngest daughter Zara both wanted a “rainbow unicorn” fourth birthday party. UNICORNS are SO real! You can just sense that magical excitement in the photos.

Austin Family Photographers || Mommy Son

Cade’s beautiful blue eyes remind me of one of Zara’s most-requested lullabies from age 1-3.

“She’s got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain”

I enjoyed seeing Mary Elizabeth and Cade through the camera lens while photographing their special kind of love. Cade is full of energy, curiosity, and love for the world around him. Mary Elizabeth is an undeniably sweet and proud Mommy that doesn’t mind rolling with the punches. It is clearly evident in the photos how much she dotes on her sweet boy and how he can light up her world with a quick glance. These two were truly made for each other.  I hope you enjoy the pure sweetness that is about to unfold.
