austin newborn portraits | baby elliott

What I love about being a newborn photographer is that my subjects uninhibitedly smile, cry, poop and pee, yawn, sleep, all the while captivating very proud parents {in this case big sister and Granny, also}. I understand all to well how these little days- or weeks-old bundles quickly grow and change and so it is nice to be able to capture these tiny moments that can be remembered forever.

If only you could see the way this adorable little man’s simple grimaces reflect on his family – just adorable!

{austin photographer} 2012 mini sessions

pass the glitter – it’s time to sparkle and shine!

my 2012 holiday mini sessions are just around the corner and I’m getting pretty excited.

one day, four slots, a fabulous “inside out” stylized session, and so much fun!

how does a mini session differ from a full session?
regular photo sessions run sixty to ninety minutes in length at the location of your choice whereas mini sessions are conducted at a specific location chosen by the photographer and last twenty minutes.

may I book multiple mini sessions together?
you may book two or more consecutive sessions. in fact, it is recommended but not required that you book multiple sessions if you have a group of five or more.

what is the cost of a mini session and what does it include?
a non-refundable $75 is required to secure your spot. this includes: one phone consultation to discuss wardrobe, location, and meeting details, a twenty-minute session on October 21st, an online gallery of 15-30 images for proofing, sharing and ordering in early November, and three high-resolution images of your choosing + print release.

how do I sign up for a mini session?
please contact Ziem at 850.319.4591 or send a note to z@ziemphotography.com with your preferred date and time slot and plan to arrive 10 minutes prior to your scheduled start time.

what happens after the session?
within two weeks of the session date, a unique link will be emailed to you with a private online gallery. from there, you will have the opportunity to preview your proofs, select three images for downloading, and purchase additional images, prints, or custom holiday cards. no purchase is necessary!

available times for Sunday, October 21st:
5:10-5:30PM (KT)
5:35-5:55PM (LZ)
6:00-6:20PM (MA)
6:25-6:45PM (DC)

please contact me to reserve your spot today!

{austin photographer} another link up

if you’re here via the I Pick Pretty link up, leave me a note so I can be sure to check you out. I’d love to check out what you’re wearing, also!

next wednesday, my little one starts mommy’s day out. to say my husband and I are getting sad at the thought of our first {and currently only} child being out of the house part time is an understatement. we’ve prepared her since the start of the year by hiring a twice weekly nanny who sang, played and fed my daughter while I was outside of the house running errands, grabbing groceries, working out, working, and or grabbing lunch with Daddy. miss T has never been under the care of anyone other than our immediate family or magda, so I will need lots of mocktails and chocolates to get through the first few weeks of drop off.

who’s with me?

oh, and more importantly, we are meeting the teachers, classmates and other parents this friday, and so I thought it’d be fun to join the ever-so-fab, Melissa @ I Pick Pretty, for her first installment of What to Wear… Where?this week’s theme is perfectly relevant – the open house day wardrobe. I’m keeping it casual, comfortable, and me by pulling existing pieces out of the closet.. click the logo at the bottom of this post to see what my fashion forward friend {and her blogger clique with equally chic followers} will wear and join in on the fun.

but before you do – say a prayer my sweet angel does not scare off any children or adults with her boundless energy later this week.

{austin maternity portraits} dana + jay

I was thrilled when Dana contacted me several weeks ago about a maternity session and would choose to have them done at one of my favorite austin locations. on the morning of their shoot, I was doubly blessed with the most magical natural light filtering through the trees and plants and two glowing parents who were extremely relaxed in front of the camera. {Love it when doing what I love is made easy!}

The couple recently babymooned in Hawaii and Dana’s sisters are hosting a baby shower in a few short weeks, so it looks like this couple is just about ready to welcome their sweet baby boy into their lives! I can’t wait to find out what they’ll name him.

Dana and Jay – thank you so much for allowing me to capture the time of just the two of you before life and marriage becomes more amazing. You are going to be wonderful parents!
