Austin Family Photography – What does the fox say?

If you ask this truly Texan family, the fox says “Laugh and have too much fun!” And I would expect no less given that they were referred by this awesome Austin family with equally darling blue-eyed beauties!

At least, that seemed to be the message conveyed by Aunt Leslie, whose stellar “What Does the Fox Say?” dance moves kept the kids in stitches throughout the shoot:

This multi-generational clan arrived to their session knowing exactly the photos they wanted. In fact, they communicated so well with our Photographer-in-Chief Ziem that Ziem was able to wrap up the shoot in 30 minutes – including shots of grandparents plus their children, grandparents plus grandkids, grandkids only, couples, siblings, each child individually, and a few other combinations just to keep things lively:

Like the infamous fox – and Aunt Leslie – Ziem had too much fun on this shoot & hopes to work with this family again soon!

12 Days of Christmas – Four Preppies Pinking

On the fourth day of Christmas, my photographer gave to me, four preppies pinking* . . .

(*It’s my post, and I’ll make “pinking” a verb if I want to . . . #falalalala)

Austin family photographer Ziem knew as soon as she meet this family at a client’s party that they were the very pink of perfection . . .

. . . so she was delighted when they reached out to her to schedule a family shoot. Mom knew exactly what she wanted for the shoot & communicated wonderfully with Ziem, resulting in some preppy photographic perfection.

Ziem ran into this family recently, which resulted in an unprompted display of the girls’ “Mrs. Ziem smiles”:

They’re so pretty in pink, don’t you think? Ziem truly enjoyed working with this family & can’t wait to do it again soon.

12 days of Christmas – Three Noble Hens

On the third day of Christmas….

It was so nice to meet another set of high school sweethearts and photograph them for the first (but hopefully not last) time. Their little Henry’s speech was just developing at the time so we spent the better part of their session asking him “What does a lizard say?” “What does an elephant say?”  and praising him for correctly telling us so. They brought the most adorable props and clothes and though we didn’t get to go through the entire set, we got a few cute captures of the cutest prop of all.

12 Days of Christmas – Two Peas in a Pod

On the second day of Christmas, my photographer gave to me, two babies twinning . . .

Since twins are often born prematurely & spend extra time in the hospital, it isn’t always possible to shoot newborn photos within their first fourteen days. And so it was with the twins shown here, but Austin family photographer extraordinaire Ziem applied her same trusted newborn formula to their shoot  – a warm setting (in this case, their gorgeous home), full bellies & white noise:

The twins snuggled throughout the shoot & enjoyed being photographed together – no surprise after nine plus months in the womb!

Ziem’s favorite part of the shoot was the enthusiasm of the twins’ big brother, who was eager to show off his big brother skills as well as chat about his school and friends.

The shoot may not have happened within Ziem’s preferred 14-day newborn window, but like much of life, the best things – and photos! – often happen when things take an unexpected turn. The photos of these two sweet peas in a pod & their brother are Exhibit A, don’t you think?
