After feeling like I had been pregnant FOREVER, I finally had this little guy. A 6 hour labor with the support of my sweet husband, amazing mother-in-law (she birthed him, she is a midwife), precious friends and my awesome family (my mom and sister watched via Skype) he was born. It was a fabulous birth experience at Austin Area Birthing Center (huge thanks to Anabel, who was also super amazing). Chinell was there to capture the whole thing. I am sure she’ll be posting some pictures of the experience soon. 
More on the labor and delivery to come.
Introducing Carter Warren. Born Febuary 19th, 3:13 a.m., 8lbs 13 oz, 22 inches long
Here is a quick picture of the little man. He has a TON of hair. I’ll be taking more soon and posting some maternity pictures soon as well. This is what every photographer wants to see from her precious subject in the first 2 days! Can you believe this kid!
The M family was so much fun to photograph. They were playful and easy going. And my little “No, No” three year old friend taught me a thing or two about capturing smiles…or should I say not capturing smiles. He is the cutest little three year old with a mohawk I have ever seen.
The little lady is sweet as a princess, yet tough as, well as a princess who has an older and younger brother.
Here is big brother, who is full of joy and has a smile that never goes away. I actually had to ask him not to smile…and I still got this little grin.
I was able to get a few images of mom and dad as the M children wanted to explore the creek and climb trees.
Family images
Ladies, some of you are hesitant to get maternity photographs taken, trust me it is doubtful you will be even close to as large as I am at 24 weeks. These were taken just yesterday. Yes, I am only 24 weeks, I look 35 or 40 though Seriously though, every woman should have some beautiful maternity pictures taken. We typically take them between 28-34 weeks so you feel pregnant, are definitely looking pregnant, and your belly is super cute. We can still take them later in pregnancy, but usually women are exausted and sick of being pregnant. I should have taken mine 6 or 7 weeks ago :)
It was such an honor to photography my good friends Ryan and Wendy and their precious girls. Their girls are amazing and I just loved getting to spend some one on one time with them. M warmed up pretty quickly, but R did not want to have anything to do with pictures. It was such fun session and I always love a challenge of a little one (or sometimes it is the dad) that doesn’t want to participate. Thanks for allowing me to capture your amazing family!! I had a blast and can’t wait to show you guys the rest!!!
I always love to get images of just mom and dad.
