A Glowing Review of an Austin, TX Newborn and Family Photographer

As an Austin, TX lifestyle photographer, heartfelt reviews like this one mean so much! Being there to photograph a family through the important moments, both beautiful and difficult, of their family journey, is an incredible honor. This sweet family got in touch with me after the birth of their firstborn, a tiny little boy with big, blue eyes and a sweet nature! I was asked to take his newborn portraits because they appreciated the documentary approach I have in photographing children and families that result in very natural, organic feeling portraits.

This is the amazing review they left me:

“Naomi has been an absolutely incredible photographer for our family!  We found Naomi when we first had our son and he has grown up with her, for over six years now.  She makes him (and all of us) feel so comfortable and she captures the beauty and essence of his personality at each stage in his life.  Naomi’s understanding and thoughtful approach makes every session unique and manages to capture amazing moments of joy that we will always treasure and will last a lifetime.  Thank you Naomi!”

In the womb, their son was nicknamed Fire Monkey, so naturally he ended up with a lot of monkeys at the baby shower. I love this photograph of Baby Fire Monkey sleeping soundly in his crib as all his monkey buddies watch over him!

one year old toddler wearing a WW2 fighter pilot costume for halloween in austin

It was our tradition to take portraits of the little guy in his Halloween costume every year. His costumes were always fantastic! In this photo when he was a year old, he dressed as a WWII fighter pilot. Underneath the bomber jacket, he sported a wife beater and a tattoo on his bicep, LOL! The pacifier and lovey just make this photo even better!

One of his typical activities as a one-year-old toddler was to climb in and out of this low window, LOL.

This is my favorite photo ever of this mama and son. Little Guy was worn out from his morning of play and photos!

The family home had this fantastic, steep driveway that Little Guy liked to practice climbing up. Without a supporting hand to hold, he had to bear crawl up it!

I was asked to photograph the little guy’s very first haircut. Bye bye to those sweet baby curls!

He didn’t love his first haircut experience, but he was so comfortable with this fantastic barber. There was lots of comfort from mama and a few tears, but the barber was so patient and understanding with him. And the haircut turned out so handsome!

Another Halloween, another year as a dragon. I believe this time he was Toothless from “How to Train Your Dragon”.

He does make a super cute dragon!
