Crazy cute | Austin baby photographer

This little doll is such a joy to be near! And stylish to boot! Love the matching dress and skirt she and her mama are wearing. I checked out the clothing maker's Web site, and it's gorgeous!! Fabulous clothing and beautiful photography.

Love a good hat | Austin baby photographer

I've been pretty much obsessed with this Tiffany ad since I first saw it. So, of course, I thought of it when the gorgeous redheaded mama you see here walked through my door with her baby.

Inspired by Tiffany & Co.

And what can I say about these hats?? I need, like, twenty of them.

Holiday ideas from last year | Austin children's photographer

As you can see, there are many different ways to do holiday stuff. Some are more literal than others. I do have the gorgeous Santa suit, which we can put Daddy in. I LOVE pajamas for holiday photos, and you can get coordinating sets for the WHOLE family at:
