PINKLE TOES PHOTOGRAPHY: Happiness gives strength (Austin Family Photographer)
Okay, I did not sleep at all last night. I was SOOOOOOOOO nervous because this morning, I was scheduled to photograph a photographer’s family. I’ve never done that before. Words cannot even describe how scary that is. It’s worth it because if all goes well, this very talented lady will be photographing our upcoming birth. While, I’m still skeered to post these sneak peeks, I will say that meeting Lyndsay and her BEAUTIFUL family put me instantly at ease. Down to earth, comfortable, happy, and so close - they have been through so much as a family that has given them a bond that just glows!
Um yeah. He’s ADORABLE!
So excited mom wanted to do this!
Mom described her as a spitfire. Amen to that, but what a doll! I don’t know why, but I just loved her wispys here.
This young man is something special. Already an award-winning photographer and he is the most amazing big brother to his younger siblings. Incredibly confident and mature, he is.
L & J - you two have such a fun, close, comfortable relationship. I love how you can laugh together at your own private jokes creating a world of your own…even in an alley. Thank you so much for letting me play today. I hope you’ll be okay with these and I can’t wait to see how you capture our birth, L!!!!

Wow - what an awesome job you did!!! I am sure she will LOVE these. The first thing I noticed was the little miss personality, LOL - you captured her so well :) Love the one of the baby on the ground, the kids with the blue building, older bro and his camera, mom and dad sharing a moment in the alley - your rocked it! Really really wonderful!

OM-Gosh! These are gorgeous Michelle! I love Lyndsay’s work and have been following her for years. When she recently blogged about being photographed soon by a fellow photog, I had no idea it was you and then when I saw your post, I was like….it’s Lyndsay! lol The one of her and her hubby in the ally is absolutely beautiful.

As always they look amazing. I’m sure she will love them. You look to be pretty low in some of these I hope the little guy got some “getting the shot” captures. hee hee.

Michele…fresh off of a family of five photo session of my own last evening…..I can’t tell you how much I adore these. So fresh and fun and, yes, the family connections are so evident! Well done

Gorgeous. I love the connections you captured- and talk about eye contact from that little cutie. Is he ever not looking at the camera? Great great shots for an amazing family!

The pictures are beautiful. I follow Lindsay’s blog and it is nice to see her in front of the camera.

OMG - I am in tears right now! I LOVE THEM. Every single one. I can’t believe that is MY family….you captured us perfectly….and I am even in them, which is so, so rare. What a wonderful gift. Teagan with the mohawk - exactly what I had in my mind! That bad boy is getting blown up BIG! The ones of Ty brought tears to my eyes, him with his camera, just perfect. I love the alley shot of Jason and I, love it, it is so us, that one will be blown up too! I seriously love them all, nervous smervish, you did AMAZING!
And you are such a trooper for the alley shot of us all over you….7 months pregant, laying in an alley….pretty sure the security guard thought we were either a) birthing that baby or b) totally crazy LOL!
Thank you Michele, I can’t thank you enough, I will treasure these always!
