Charlie Preston | Austin Newborn Photographer

They've been married since college, and its evident that Liz and Daniel are still so in love. They've got a rhythm. They take care of each other well. So when it was time to welcome their first kiddo into the mix they were so excited to add to their comfortable little family.

Enter their precious son Charlie. This little one is a tiny bundle of sweet. His itty-bitty nose and gentle blue eyes melt his mommy and daddy like butter (as well they should). Hearing the coos of this little guy made shooting this family an incredible treat.

To add to the mix, we even got to know Charlie's grandma, who was still in town caring for her first grandbaby on his mere 12th day of life.

Pure Joy!

I love!

Liz and Daniel, thank you for inviting us into your home!

Merry Christmas!

For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6

Hallelujah!

We'd like to wish you a very Merry Christmas!

Wall Family | Austin Family Photographer

This is Anna's phone. On their way to our shoot it flew from the top of the car to the side of the road shattering to, well, oblivion. It hit me when I got home and looked through photos of this gorgeous family laughing, snuggling and playing that there were no signs of that phone and its stress in a single picture. It was a wonderful representation of real joy. Despite circumstances and setbacks, they didn't cease to delight in each other and their precious son with each and every moment. It's obvious how blessed they feel to have each other and easy to see why. 

Wall family, you guys are amazing. We had such a great time with y'all and I can't thank you enough for a reminder of real joy in the midst of holiday craziness. You truly blessed us and I'm, crossing my fingers that Santa brings you a new phone this year.  Merry Christmas!

I'm sure you've been on the edge of you seat waiting to see more of this fabulous couple - for real. So here is the second installment of Adam and Erin's gorgeous Maryland wedding, complete with Erin's own personalized editing style. This weekend was so much fun for us. Looking at the photos makes me warm inside (which is nice considering this bipolar winter TX weather).

I adored the giant weeping willow where the ceremony took place. 

From the point the words, you may kiss your bride were spoken, I never saw that smile leave Adam's face.

The details of this outdoor celebration were perfectly vintage/rustic - and so Erin!

I can't begin to describe how much fun the dancing was at this wedding. 

Boyds, we're so thankful to have spent such an important day with you. I'm so thankful you live close, and we get to continue to watch your lives together unfold.
