PINKLE TOES PHOTOGRAPHY: Giddy. ♥ Austin Children’s Photographer

About a year ago when her mama called me for the first time, I was giddy. Even over the phone, we just seemed to click. I was so bummed that I was booked and getting ready for maternity leave and couldn’t arrange a session for her. :-( But not too long ago, she called again and lo and behold, this time, we were able to make it work. I was *thrilled* when she said that even though she’s got 3–yes, three–older boys at home, this session was going to be all about her baby girl. Giddy.

I’ve been sitting on this location for a while now. When I realized *this* would be the perfect place for her session…again, giddy.

When mom said she’d be up for some mother/daughter shots? Giddy.

When mom pulled out this AMAZING dress? Giddy.


Giddy. Giddy. Giddy.


But this? THIS? Immediately, when I saw this shot in my teeny, tiny preview screen on my camera, I was beyond giddy. I was jumping up and down, running over to mom, practically drooling over what I had just seen ECSTATIC!!!! I don’t know why, but this last image just really spoke to me.

Just wanted to say thanks for the wardrobe post. We are doing a fundraiser for our MOPS group where every family gets a 15 min slot with a prof photog. I was deciding wardrobe, when my husband says, “Hey,how about we just wear white shirts and jeans?” {Umm b/c it’s trite… } I tried to explain but he wouldn’t believe me. Finally, I showed him your post on wardrobe. It came in handy ;)
October 17th, 20098:48 am at
Wow! That is all i an say! i only hope to ever take pictures as wonderful as these! :)
October 17th, 200911:44 am at

Hi there! These photos are fantastic! I absolutely love them! I wanted to ask where you find your awesome locations/places to shoot? I love the green colored wall and would love to shoot something like that. Any tips on where to look for something like that? Great job! ;)
October 20th, 20092:34 pm at
Me again! I forgot to ask about shooting toddlers. I have a 17 month old and obviously he is so hard to shoot with all his moving around! How do you get the shots you do with smaller children? All my shots are blurry or too dark. I’ve tried playing around with the ISO but it’s still blurry. Thanks so much for any tips you can give me!
