Meet Taly, a soon to be first time mom and a fellow newbie to Austin.  She and her husband, Peter, moved to Austin a few months ago from Vegas.  They have settled in nicely and  are patiently waiting for their little bundle of joy, little Miss Sage Madeline, who is due the beginning of October. 

Taly and I had a lot of fun on this shoot.  She was the perfect model.  She was so laid back and did anything I asked!! Even if it meant laying on a picnic table with block letters on her stomach while people ran past us on the Town Lake trails.  We got a couple of funny looks but mostly awes.   Anywho.  Point of my rambling:  Taly was great, the pictures turned out awesome and I can’t wait to meet Sage!  Enough from me, enjoy the pics!

For those of you who follow my work, consider Goal#5 complete 🙂

I love how peaceful this picture is especially considering all the activity that was going on around us.

Below: My favorite pic! Peaceful and pretty with a side of great light.  Love it!

So about half way through the shoot we were faced with a major distraction…

We just meant to stop in for a quick wardrobe change but we were soon lured in by the hauntingly delicious aroma of the Cinnabon cinnamon rolls.  She, being a soon to be mom with cravings, and I, having little to no will power when it comes to sweets, decided it was inevitable; we surrendered to the Cinnabon.  It was the best dinner I’ve ever had, all 880 calories of it(and yes, although depressing, that is actually how many calories are in a regular size Cinnabon.  I looked it up) sigh.  Ok, enough with my Cinnabon tangent, back to pictures.

Below: So we ran out of E’s but we just had to, as Tim Gunn would said, make it work.

I would like to give a special thank you to Taly for being an awesome model!  The Austin heat was harsh but she was such a trooper.  Also, thank you to Cinnabon’s online nutritional guide for giving me ample movtivation to hit the gym!

If you’re a soon to be mom, a new mom or you have kids and want to do family portraits, whatever the need, send me  a quick e-mail (larimieleigh@gmail.com) or leave a comment and we can set up a shoot. 

For those of you stopping by to check things out, I would love to hear from you!  What are your thoughts?  Did you have a favorite photo?  Just let me know!  I look forward to hearing from you!
