Before His Teeth Fall Out!  (and Puff)   {Austin Children Photography}

Quick!  We need pictures fast!!  Our "baby's" teeth are falling out!  Well, he's not really a baby, but when your first born's baby teeth fall out, it's a monumental milestone.  At least for the parents.  So, we documented baby teeth - and it just so happens that this family is beautiful and fun and lively.  We had a great time jaunting down South Congress on one of the busiest shopping nights of the year.  Thanks for such a great time and beautiful images!

Also, props out to Pops!  My dad came along to assist on this shoot.  A first for both of us!  He carried bags, held the reflector and generally gave no complaints:).  It also happens to be the first time I've teared up at a session.  The one song that our Dad sang to us when we were little (that's me and my two sisters) was Puff the Magic Dragon.  My little sister and Dad even danced to it for their father/daughter dance at her wedding.  Anyway, we're walking along South Congress and I hear live music coming from the food trailers on S. Congress (go figure).  But, of all the songs, of all the nights, it just so happens that the night I took my father to work with me - they played our song.  I couldn't believe it.  May we all always frolic in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee.  love ya dad. 

look at those pearly whites!....





 
might as well rot them out...they'll be gone soon anyway:)!...


and here's Dad obtaining his pre-shoot power coffee  (gotta be prepared)...
