Ryleigh

We photographed Jonathan and Bria's wedding a couple of years ago and nothing is better than being asked to be their baby's first professional photographer! Mark stayed in Austin to meet with some brides, while I traveled to Baltimore, Maryland for this itty-bitty-baby session. Ryleigh was 14 days old and such a sweet baby girl. She looks a great deal like her daddy, but sure does have some of her mommy - like the most perfect ears.  Not really visible when sleeping, but she has some cute dimples just like her Aunt Elizabeth.  Grammy Karen was my assistant while Bria ventured out to Baby-R-Us and then got a nap. Ryleigh tolerated all the posing and moving pretty well, but she put down her foot when we asked her to lay on her daddy's cold guitar! So she got him back when we put her on his back for some of our last photographs... it was really pretty funny. Let just say, Jonathan got to take a shower when we were done!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Mr. Chance at 6 days

Holly and Chris welcomed their second son, Chance, into world six days ago! Holly is amazing, we called her the day she was released from the hospital to schedule this sweet boys portrait session and she was "out running errands"! Chance was so good during this session with barely a peep out of him. Holly told us that she had packed up the family to go out the night before and it took an hour and a half to get out the door. She said without our "in home" newborn portrait service she wouldn't have had newborn pictures taken. How neat and just the kind of feedback we love. Holly and Chris have a very mature parenting ease about them. Chris is a local police officer and Holly is a recruiter for executive level accountants. Enjoy meeting one of our newest Texans!

 
 
 

 
 

 
 

 

Brooklynn - A Christmas Miracle

After trying to have a baby for 10 years, Brent and Jennifer Pfluger were blessed with tiny Miss Brooklynn. Weighing in at 5 pounds, we were honored to take this precious baby's portrait at 14 days old. Jennifer is sure enjoying motherhood but only got to enjoy a short pregnancy.... what? Well, after years of disappointments, no pregnancy symptoms, Jennifer didn't find out she was expecting until later in her pregnancy and didn't even know the gender of the baby until delivery time! Jennifer works for the great state of Texas and Brent owns Pfluger Heating and Air Conditioning. Brent is a direct descendant of Henry Pfluger, who arrived in Texas in 1849 and settled into the area now known as Pflugerville. We are thrilled for this young family and look forward to many more sessions with Brooklynn. Enjoy!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Baron - an early Christmas present!

We have been the Hanson Family photographer since big sister, Olivia was born. It truly is an honor to watch young families grow and capture life changes through photography. Baron is a big name for such a little guy. Born 3 weeks early, Baron gets his first gold star for being the easiest newborn we have ever photographed. No feeding breaks, hardly a peep, and slept the whole time. It is wonderful to travel to new parents homes for these sessions. New mom's don't get much sleep or many breaks so they get these wonderful images and don't have to spend time lugging baby, car seat, diaper bags to a studio. Meet Master Baron...
