Baby Winslow | austin newborn photographer

I had the pleasure of photographing sweet baby Winslow recently. His session was one that came to me from last years Giving is Awesome campaign. He wasn’t born yet at the time but his mommy was nominated by a friend of hers to receive the free session. Here is her nomination letter:

Mollie,
I have the perfect person! Her name is Serita Enney and she has a 3 year old daughter named Berkeley. Berkeley is one of the most awesome kids I know. She has Down Syndrome and was diagnosed several months ago with Leukemia. Serita is such a kind, giving person of herself and her time. After Berkeley was born, Serita became a board member of the local Down Syndrome association. She has put in many, many hours volunteering to help create a better world for people with Down Syndrome. She is seriously one of the strongest people I have ever known. Serita is currently pregnant with baby number 2 and is due in April, I believe. I know she would love a family session or a newborn session, but I am sure medical expenses make this out of the question. Anyways, I immediately thought of her when I saw this contest. I can’t think of a more deserving family out there!

I loved working with Serita and Winslow both. She truly is a strong lady and deserves so much more than I was able to give.
If you have a moment, I would love if you could visit their website www.berkeleyenney.com and lend them any support you can.
For now, here are some more of the images from Winslow’s session. He’s just the sweetest little guy ♥

If I didn’t already love babies enough, along comes sweet little Lauren.
I did photos for her big brother Luke a couple years ago.
Lauren was beautiful to look at, was a perfect little sleeper the entire time, held her poses all on her own and didn’t pee on me once!!
A girl’s gotta love that.

Recently I was hired by a friend to take some photos of her two little ones. This was a friend I knew way back from elementary aaaall the way through high school, and recently reconnected with via Facebook. She warned me that she is a bit of a photo addict herself and with that, comes the challenging ‘photographer’s child syndrome’. Yes, it’s a clinical diagnosis. Often caused my having a parent (usually a mother) who takes photos of their kids on such a regular basis that they develop an acute awareness of cameras. Common reactions include screaming, running, crying, goofy faces, and outright disobedience. My old children suffer this ailment. We are currently in search of a cure. Client mom was hoping I’d have better luck than she has had in the past. Luckily these kiddos only suffered slightly from PCS. Photographing children is a crap shoot in all reality. You are at the mercy of their moods. But I had high hopes after we choose a fantastic location in Lakeway. It was quite a beautiful backdrop! I arrived, chatted with my friend a bit and off we went to our location. Her kids were *adorable* and very sweet. Then I took out my camera. {wink} Big brother really only wanted to “pose in ways that I usually do”, which was fine.. he had the drill down so I took him up on his poses. His little sister had the sweetest little princess voice you’ve ever heard.She was willing to go walk anywhere with me. But as soon as I’d lift my lens up, she’d look down. It truly had me cracking up. At one point, she even walked down a bridge towards me.. backwards! How crafty is that? haha!! I still think we made out well. Hard to not when your subjects are such QTs!

Last weekend we went to Houston for my husband’s 20th reunion and to celebrate my FIL’s birthday. While there, we went down to Galveston for a few hours. It was a mini vacation of sorts for me to be by the ocean. Galveston is not the prettiest beach and the weather was extremely rainy and gloomy, but I drug my camera out regardless. In editing, I had to incorporate the mood and feel of the weather and it fit into my memory perfectly.
