Hi! I'm Libby and I'm an on-location photographer in Austin, Texas specializing in newborns, babies, children, and families. Take a look around my blog and stay awhile. You'll notice that I mix my personal life in with my business around here, and I wouldn't have it any other way! My son, Will, is my inspiration for my photography, so you'll be seeing a lot of him on the blog. Check back often for sneak peeks, announcements, contests, giveaways, and lots of fun, laughter, and love. Thanks for stopping by!
Holiday Mini-Sessions I currently still have availability for holiday mini sessions. Check out the awesome deals in my blog post here and email me to book yours today!
I met up with the C family tonight for our third attempt at a family session…everything aligned for us and we had a great time, despite the scorching heat! Braxton finally showed off his adorable smile, complete with some giggles and squeals. Those giggles and squeals are totally the best part about 7 month-olds in my opinion!
Tim and Kristin, it’s been so great getting to know your family. Enjoy your sneak peek!
I spent Sunday afternoon photographing this sweet little boy’s first birthday party. The circus-themed decor was out of this world and lucky little Cullen had a table full of presents waiting to be torn into! The party was so much fun and let me just say, that little boy is loved. 
It was so sweet to see all the family and friends that traveled to Austin to celebrate his first year of life with his mommy and daddy. All the hugs and smiles and excitement over this little guy really warmed my heart!
Happy birthday, Cullen! Enjoy your sneak peek, J family
I can’t believe it’s already been 6 months since I took little Lily’s newborn pictures…time really does go by quickly anymore. Does that mean I’m getting old? 
We met up in downtown Austin at Mayfield Park. It was surprisingly empty and we had the place pretty much to ourselves. Baby Lily was full of smiles (I hear that’s pretty common with her!) and she showed up her new skill of sitting up. I totally love photographing babies this age…strange people with cameras are still interesting, they smile at pretty much any high pitched voice, they’re oh so proud to sit up, and they can’t run away from me yet!
Kristina and Aaron, it was a pleasure (as always) to hang out with you guys yesterday! Lily is absolutely beautiful. I had such a hard time picking favorites for your sneak peek. Enjoy!
I already posted this one on Facebook, but I had to put it up again. I think it might be one of my new favorites! I love her bright blue eyes and her huge grin!
Such a happy little girl!
I met up with this sweet family yesterday morning and had such a great time, despite the heat and humidity at 8:30 in the morning! Hudson was such a sweet little guy with the best funky crawl ever! He was all smiles when I didn’t have my camera in front of my face, but the second I tried to snap one of those adorable little grins, he got all serious studying my camera…stinker!
Kristin and Seth, thanks for coming out to meet me yesterday. Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend in Dallas! Enjoy your sneak peek
I finally got to meet up with Braxton and Kristen again this afternoon for part 2 of our 3 part session. He was all smiles before I got there, but of course conspired against us and turned the smiles off when I got there. [My screaming toddler probably didn't help matters any...sorry again for having to witness that, Kristen!] However, I managed to catch this one. I knew I loved it when I saw it on my LCD screen…but I didn’t realize just how much I loved it until I pulled it up on my monitor at home!
Look at that little face – the hint of a smile and those big, gorgeous eyes. I kind of love this baby! He’s so cooperative and laid back. And he’s so stinkin’ cute! I’m very much looking forward to the final part of our very drawn out session…and I’m hoping I can conquer the serious and get some REAL baby smiles!
Thanks for letting me come by this morning, Kristen! Hope you enjoyed your sneak peek
1. Sorry for the complete lack of blog posts this week. I’ve been so busy editing that I haven’t even thought about blog posts during my computer time each day!
2. I’ve also been busy spending lots and lots of time with my little boy…lots of one on one time! And let me tell you, it ROCKS. I really enjoyed watching children, and if we need for me to do it again, I’ll enjoy it again. But you can’t beat being able to give your own child your undivided attention. We’ve worked on his colors, his animal sounds, played in the pool a ton, done lots of shopping, and hung out with Grannie, CP, and Uncle Matt (aka my parents and brother) this week. It’s been awesome. Will has now added the duck sound (gah gah gah gah gah – hey, it works for me!), the polar bear/bear/lion/black panther sound (raaaaaah) and the dog sound (ffh fffh or sticking his tongue out and panting) to his repertoire of animal sounds.
3. Tomorrow I’m headed out of town for a wedding in Houston and I’m way excited about it! The ceremony is tomorrow at sunset on the beach and then the reception will be on Sunday. Word has it that the reception is going to be the party to be at! I’m excited to see all the festivities and of course, capture another couple in love I’ll have my laptop with me, but I’m not sure how much I’ll be able to get online. If you really need to get a hold of me this weekend, the best way will probably be to call.
4. Next week, I’m turning our dining room into a playroom. I’ve been bugging Greg to do this since we moved into the house, but he’s always resisted since our dining room is one of the first rooms you see when you walk into the house. I’m so tired of our living room looking like Toys ‘R Us though! I have tons of ideas of what I’d like to do with it (and I’m sure my ideas will be reined in quite a bit by budget), but I’d love to see any links to your favorite playrooms if you have them! Or even pictures of your own. I can’t wait to share pictures of it!
5. I just finished proofing this gallery and it’s full of some of my favorite images ever. Love these two
I can’t believe that this little guy is turning ONE. It certainly doesn’t seem like I was photographing this teeny, tiny, precious little guy a year ago. Time sure does fly! He has changed so much…he still has his crazy hair (that I adore), but he’s almost walking, is in love with his daddy, and is full of smiles with his 4 new teeth.
Thank you guys so much for meeting up with me this morning and for letting me capture your little guy over the last year. It’s been a blast! Enjoy your sneak peek!
I’ve been looking forward to this session for a looong time…I think his mama booked it back in March. But little Braxton had other things on his mind this afternoon besides getting his picture taken. Like napping It’s okay, Braxton. You’re not alone! Afternoon naps are a wonderful, wonderful thing! I loved his serious little face and his precious bald head, though! I can’t wait for our “smiley session” in a few weeks so I can see his real personality!
Tim and Kristen, thanks for meeting me this afternoon! Enjoy your sneak peek…I’ll see you again soon!
And this big yawn is how you know a session is over
