Austin Family Photography – Classic & Colorful Multigenerational Shoot

When Austin family photographer Ziem gets the chance to work with dear friends, it makes the shooting all the sweeter. Speaking of sweet, she was thrilled recently to work with the Singh family, whose planned family shoot blossomed into a colorful, multigenerational party.

The gorgeous Singh home offered our photographer-in-chief a number of her favorite family photography elements – a luxe, neutral backdrop with plenty of natural light, combined with the family members’ vibrant wardrobe to contrast with all of those on-trend neutrals, *and* a smart, fun, funny family in residence. Mama Singh wanted to go for a timeless, classic look, and that’s exactly what Ziem delivered.

Some of the best photos come from unplanned moments, and the Singh shoot was no exception. Ziem cherished the opportunity to capture the grandparents, aunty, uncles, and kids alike. The family came alive in the game room, where the boys did flips with Uncle, and the older brother gamely allowed younger brother to play along. The love amongst the generations was clear.

Austin Portrait Photographer – Fit, Fabulous & Forty!

If this is what forty looks like, sign us up!

austin photographers ziem photographyAndy, the yogi pictured, is a dear friend of both Ziem & yours truly as well as a yoga teacher & a mom of two (!); in honor of her recent 40th birthday, Ziem gifted her with a photo session. Andy tells us she’ll keep these as a reminder of what she was once capable of doing, but something tells us she’ll retain her signature sunny outlook & outrageous, yoga-toned bod well beyond 40.

Ziem relished getting creative with natural light to highlight Andy’s toned physique, not that said physique needed any help – have we mentioned Andy is a mother of two little ones?! Can you feel our envy from here? Jealousy aside, Ziem loved collaborating with our friend, who came up with much of the shot staging herself.

Austin Newborn Photography: Sunshine in the Rain

One of newborn photographer Ziem’s latest Belly to Birthday clients, the Ade family, put some much needed sunshine into this rainy spring:

No gloomy weather could prevent Baby from positively glowing. At 9.5 all-natural (!) pounds, Baby Ade also has the distinguished accomplishment of being one of the most statuesque newborn clients Ziem has had to date. He held the record for the biggest, in fact, only to be surpassed a few days later by another ZP client (photos to come, naturally.) Happily baby boy didn’t seem too bothered by losing his title.

The trusty family pooch made a re-appearance in these newborn photos as well, providing puppy photobombing just as he did during Mama Ade’s maternity shoot.

Rain or shine, Ziem loved working with the Ades – and the family canine slash photo hog – again & is looking forward to more B2B fun to come!

Austin Children Photographer | Southern Belles

This session has me beaming ear to ear for so many reasons and I hope that after seeing a few of the images you’ll be smiling with me.

I began photographing these two little loves together when they turned six months and it has been fun keeping the tradition on their “austin cake smash” two years later. Since we’ve had this unusual, perpetual gloom for weeks now, I resorted to shooting indoors. This space was perfect in conveying a girlish sense while allowing our wee ones to be playful and adventurous. I was floored by all the beautiful details and stunning light. As evidenced by its appearance in every room and almost every shot, the highlight of the session was the awe-inspiring vintage typewriter.

Today also happened to be the girls’ last day of preschool and I’m going to miss seeing them together (not to mention Stella’s show-stopping outfits). Happy 2 and 1/2 to Zara and Stella!

Austin Family Photography – Bluebonnet Season Blues

Just in time for that legendary Austin time of year – bluebonnet season, Austin family photographer Ziem offered her fabulous mini-sessions package. Appropriate to the color of the season, the Glazer family and their bluebonnet-blue eyes made for a fun session:

As is wont to happen with shoots involving toddlers, the oldest brother proved adorable but decided photo time was a time to act, well, toddler-y. Ziem, being all too familiar with toddler tricks, managed to wrangle some fabulous shots regardless.

Dad masterfully corralled the older brother so that Mom & baby brother could enjoy some shots together, just in time for Mother’s Day.

Ziem loved working with the Glazers & particularly enjoyed Mom’s attention to the shoot details. Mom took advantage of Ziem’s complimentary wardrobe consultation services and carefully planned the family’s wardrobe pre-shoot. Ziem can’t wait to work with the Glazers & those bluebonnet blues again, toddler tricks & all!
