Sweet Baby Girl! - Austin, Pflugerville, Round Rock Childrens Photographer

I would love to share little Miss A to my online family.  She has the prettiest eyes and the sweetest expressions for a 6mo old baby girl!  I have enjoyed photographing her since she was a newborn here at Taylor Made Portrait Studio! She is on my Baby Plan.  I can't believe she has grown up so much in such a short period of time! Babies tend to do that don't they?

I am also looking forward to doing an extended Family Portrait for her family this summer!  That is going to be so much fun... she has an amazing family to work with!  AND... I just finished taking Senior Portraits for her Uncle this past week as well. 

Birthday's ROCK! Austin, Round Rock, Pflugerville Childrens photographer

Children grow so incredibly fast... just ask me... this is my baby girl that was just a toddler a few days ago!!  Now she is 8 going on 18!

In celebration of my baby turning 8 I am launching a new session called "Birthday's ROCK!"  It is a fun and colorful Studio or Urban session.  There are special prices and items just for this session.  It is meant for one child only, so they can shine on their special day!

Have the portraits done on their big day, or do it a few weeks earlier and use the images for their Birthday Invitation!  I make beautiful custom invitations for children of all ages... not just one year old's!!


Call the studio at 512.494.4267 or E-mail Tracey@TaylorMadePortraitStudio.com to get additional information and to book your child's session!

What an adorable new Baby Boy - Austin, Round Rock, Pflugerville Newborn Photographer

OHHHHH I love my job!!  I get to hold and love on new Babies.... then send them home!!  How great is that?  I am so blessed!

This was such a wonderful family to work with.  We would get to laughing.... the baby kept peeing on Mom and Dad... we stayed entertained the whole time!

These were Daddy's shoes when he was a little guy!!  Wow... this

little guy has big shoes to fill!

This was his Momma's chair from when she was a little girl... how sweet is this?

Is this not the cutest thing in the whole world??  His Grandma got him this and after much work on getting him to go sound asleep, we were able to grab this one, very fast shot!!

This little guy still has his umbilical cord, but he is smiling and winking at me!!  How crazy is that?

Again... we got to laughing!!  I have so much fun with my clients... Thank you so much to all of you!

Why I am a Portrait Photographer - Pflugerville, Austin, Round Rock - Family Portraits

If there was ever a video that brings the power of portraits to life, it is this one. What an important job I have as a photographer in the lives of my clients. It is SOOO incredibly sad that sometimes they don't realize it or even appreciate it until it is too late.

I showed this video to my husband after I had been shown the video at a Photography Seminar in  Dallas... and HE got a little weepy thinking about his father that passed when he was 11 years old... and that the ONLY photograph he has of him is hanging in his Mother's house, and there are NO other copies of it! It has already survived one fire and she won't send it to me to create another copy of it for him. I guess she is too afraid of what could happen to it in transit because there is NO AMOUNT of money that could now replace that image that was printed on a $10 piece of paper 30 years ago! When you think of it all like that... it is very overwhelming.

People... don't wait to capture those memories because you think you are too fat, that you want wait to loose those 10 pounds, or grow your hair out another 3 inches... DO IT NOW. You may not get another chance. I hear from my new Mom's all the time at the Design Consultations ... "oh, I don't want to be in the portraits with the baby, I am too fat! I just want pictures of the BABY." And you know what my response is back to them... "I completely understand! I feel the same way, but I am really not doing this for you! I am doing this for your baby! In 30 years from now, don't you think your son or daughter would love to look back and see images of their Mom and them?  To see how much you loved them and wanted them? They are not going to think... 'wow Mom, you sure were fat', they are going to think how beautiful you were and how wonderful of a gift you gave them 30 years ago by having that portrait done!"

I became a Photographer because I loved the Art. I stay a photographer because of how important of a job it is in the lives of our future generations!  I beg you not to wait to capture a family portrait... even if you don't choose me as your Photographer for what ever reason, just choose someone that will create the family portrait you and your future generations will be able to cherish for a lifetime.

If you do choose me to create your Family Portrait for you, please mention this blog and I will have a special gift for you while supplies last!
