I’m proud of the work I do as a mother, photographer, and woman. Here are some past sessions that provide a look into my work and the lives of Austin moms & babies.

It’s finally here, folks! Call it Autumn, Fall, Spooky season – whatever your name for it, we’re ready to welcome in the shift in seasons here at Hello Photography. Many of you readers with young ones might be wondering what ways you can have some fun photographing your little ones this autumn. I’ve got lots […]

Texas wildflowers! There are truly nothing like them. The combination of Indian Blankets, Phlox, Coneflowers, Daisies, Bluebells and — if you’re lucky — those famous Texas Bluebonnets is the perfect recipe for an absolutely magical maternity photo session. While the Northeast certainly takes the cake for the most colorful autumns, springtime Texas is the place […]

If you’re in the maternity business, last-minute bookings & cancellations happen. That’s just the nature of pregnancy! Sometimes due dates get moved up, so clients reschedule just in case. Other times, babies come calling without anyone’s warning and mamas miss their date entirely. More often than either of those cases, life just happens and they […]

It’s fun to take trendy photos, and it can really push me out of my comfort zone. I recently took photos with a trending maternity photography pose (the illusion of a woman in fabric hanging from the ceiling). The latest fashion trends often inform what’s in my client wardrobe. But there’s really something to be […]

Safety isn’t just for newborns in the Hello Photography Studio! I’ve spent some time talking about safety procedures I used when positioning newborns during studio newborn sessions. However, navigating maternity photos can be tricky, too. Outdoor maternity photos take planning to ensure that everything is just right for mom’s maximum comfort. Even in the studio, […]

Photography is just like any skill out there. Some of our skills come naturally, some don’t. Either way — a skill is something you constantly seek to improve. For this Austin TX maternity photography skill-chaser, that sentiment still applies! I am constantly finding ways to hone my craft, get better at what I do, and […]

Nothing beats a sleepy newborn in the studio. They’re so snuggly, adorable, and sweet when they’re sleeping. As an added plus, a sleepy newborn = a break for mom. Plus, sleeping babies are great for all those newborn poses we know and love. Unfortunately, not all newborns sleep naturally, and even with help don’t sleep […]

Get ready for a scene-stealing set of photos. This Austin Maternity photo session is so dreamy! It has everything you might expect from an Austin maternity photo session in the studio, plus more! I wanted to make sure this mama, who is pregnant with twins, felt absolutely gorgeous in every photo.  So, she got to […]

Newborn photoshoot props can turn a good studio photography session into a great one. They add elements to the photo which may not have been there before, including textures and shadows that make a photo interesting. Plus, they look pretty stinkin’ cute. There are quite a few excellent props to choose from in the studio, […]

We love creatively breaking news about a new baby here at Hello Photography! This high-end photography announcement photo session incorporated some of the cutesy elements of traditional, casual pregnancy announcement photos with professional studio sessions. In my opinion, this is a great way to celebrate such a milestone and share such exciting news and do […]
