Waiting for baby…. Austin Maternity Photographer

I absolutely loved photographing this beautiful mama to be.  I’m so excited that I will get to document this baby coming into the world in May. This mama is glowing and you can totally feel the love she has for her baby already. For me personally, my pregnancies were difficult and uncomfortable….I can’t say that I’m one of those woman who feel great the whole time and *love* being pregnant…but looking at these pictures I actually miss feeling that sweet baby growing inside me….it is such a magical time in your life and I’m so happy that these memories are captured forever.


Surprise baby girl!

I got the pleasure of photographing these sweet new parents for their maternity session back in January (you can see that session here).  At the time they didn’t know if that cute baby bump was a girl or a boy…(kuddos to them for holding out for the big surprise…I’m WAAAAYY too impatient….but I think its so cool for people that can hold out!).  I guessed girl….and I was right!  Here is sweet Molly Amelia Aho, born 2/28/12 when she was just 6 days new.

Lena Dusa - March 27, 2012 - 3:10 pm

If I had to chose one picture for myself I wouldn’t be able to make a decision. All of them are soooo good!!!! Thanks Jared and Katie for our beautiful new additional to the family. Can’t wait to see her myself. I need to figure out a way to see her soon.

Yuuka - March 30, 2012 - 2:06 am

She is so precious!! I love the first pic and the one she wears the brown knit cap. It looks like she says “leave me alone. I’m sleepy :D ” Cute!!

Eric - March 30, 2012 - 4:06 am

Love the pic in the room. Look at all those toys for Molly and teamu!

Jamie - March 31, 2012 - 1:07 am

She’s quite photogenic!

Nathan Guitrau - April 6, 2012 - 4:37 pm

What a beautiful family! The b&w shot of the three of you with Molly’s eyes open is fantastic, and I love the pink blanket and bucket shot. How precious. Nice work Tara and Aho’s!

Audrey is 2!

Wow…so much has changed in just one year since the last time I photographed this family.  Here is Audrey for her 1st birthday shoot and just look at her now!  So grown up and so much blonde hair!  Audrey’s little pig tails remind me of Haylee’s when she was that age…..which of course is now just a memory because Haylee (lets just call her Ms. Independent!) has decided that she will only wear her hair “down like Princess Aurora” (Sleeping Beauty) wears it.  So, L family….enjoy this 2 year old phase…which I’m sure has its highs and lows….but at least for now….you get to pick the hair styles!  It is such a honor to photograph your sweet families year after year and I just love watching your family grow.  Thank you guys so much for choosing me to capture these priceless memories for you all!


Carrie - March 21, 2012 - 11:56 am

Elizabeth Fluck - March 21, 2012 - 4:51 pm

These are adorable!! Audrey looks beautiful, but I mostly appreciate that James was asked to hold the balloons!! : )

Heather - March 21, 2012 - 5:10 pm

Audrey looks so cute! All of the pictures are terrific, but the two that made my day are where she’s in the yellow kiddie car with a serious look like “why are they doing this to me?” and the one where she’s sitting on the blanket in her blue dress with her Barbara Bush pearls and white gloves. It makes me miss you all even more!

Aunt PAt - March 22, 2012 - 3:25 am

Just love the pictures. Audrey is so cute and so photogenic. (of course Mom and Dad are also cute) I can’t decide which picture I like best – they all get a 10.

Joyce - March 22, 2012 - 1:36 pm

Audrey is so photogenic…
Thank you for these beautiful pictures…

Jean Toth - March 22, 2012 - 1:48 pm

These pictures are beautiful. I LOVE the black and white of Audrey in her little hat. I would have a very hard time trying to picture which pictures to get. I think I would have to get all of them. You have a beautiful family!

Fun session! I love all the color and the location!!!

Growing family

I started photographing this family when Jaxon had just turned one…we did a cake smash you can see here.  Then I got to do an 18 month session with them down at Butler Park….here.  Then I photographed Layton’s newborn session just 5 weeks or so after I had my little guy.  I was still on maternity leave, but couldn’t miss seeing the newest addition to their adorable family.  I will put up some pics from that session soon.  It has been such a pleasure to capture their growing family over the past couple years.  Thank you Jenn and Chad!


Josie Lynch - March 11, 2012 - 9:53 pm

I love all the pics, especially the one with Chad throwing Jaxon
in the air, Jaxon has no fear of his Dad catching him, how awesome
is that. Also Jenn, precious Mom with her boys. The pictures are so special because that is the way they are with both boys.Praise
God.

Jennifer Roby - March 18, 2012 - 3:44 am

10 Reasons I love you…

I made this book for my daughter right before her 3rd birthday and before the birth of her baby brother.  It felt so great to use pictures and words to document the sweetness & sass that is– my Haylee.  The book I had printed is amazing and it shows even better printed than in digital form.  I’m going to make one every year for my kiddos and I’m thinking about making this available to my clients.  It would be a special type of session….first we’d brain storm about what you want your 10 reasons to be and then put together a game plan for the shoot.  Leave a comment and let me know if this is something you guys would be interested in.


Ellen Harrison - March 10, 2012 - 4:01 pm

Tara….I can’t tell you how proud I am of the woman and mother you’ve become. You amaze me every day. This book just made me cry because you’ve captured everything Haylee is and more. You are so talented,kind, thoughtful and beautiful inside and out. I’m so proud to be your Mom! I love you more than you’ll ever know.
