PINKLE TOES PHOTOGRAPHY: Pure ♥ Austin Newborn Photographer
I’ve been struggling lately with the kind of photographer I want to be. In my mind, I want to be the person to capture life and the moments as they are. I want to stop trying to force some preconceived image in my head or something that wowed me on someone else’s website. I want my work to be pure and from the heart. And so, nervously, but with great anticipation, I left the beanbag in the car (thanks, Tara), I approached today’s newborn session with pure and simple in my heart.
My heart is happy.

Michele, you know I’ve always loved your work. However, my favorite pieces of your work are the ones of your family, friends, and children. All those shots are as pure and as close to the heart as you can get! So go with what’s inside and I know you’ll do great!

michelle,
i am absolutely honored that i could inspire you to reach outside of preconceived notions and do what came to your heart.
these images are STUNNING, breathtaking, so original and fresh. so much better than if you had done what “everyone else” does.
BRAVO!

Beautiful – and truly capturing them just as they are. I always find the beanbag only comes out for first borns – once older siblings enter the equation I have to be much more “go with the flow”! And sometimes it just surprises me how liberating that can be. xx
