Let the Countdown Begin…
School is almost out and Summer is just around the corner. We have had some crazy weather around here… hot, cold, rainy… we never know what to expect. We do however know that Austin Summers are out-of-this-world HOT, which is why now is the best time for photos. In the midst of our Countdown to Summer, I have decided to bless 1 very special person with a free session, plus 5 others with the chance to book a session for half-off… that’s right, HALF-OFF! Gosh, I just LOVE giveaways. (You will find instructions below on how to enter.)
You may be thinking to yourself, “We could really use some updated family photos, but I could probably just use our nice camera and it wouldn’t cost a dime.”
This is true, but I am here to tell you that unfortunately, they will not look the same. There are some very nice, smart, affordable cameras out there that do a great job, but you will not get the same end results. It is not always as simple as it looks. Read HERE to see what I’m talking about.
How do I enter to win??
1 – You must ‘like’ us on Facebook… facebook.com/coatiphotography
2 – To win the FREE photo session, you must be the very first person to e-mail me. Tell me how you would use your free session.
3 – The first 5 people to e-mail me (after the winner) will receive HALF-OFF a photo session.

GET TO IT PEOPLE!!
Mechinus Family {austin family photographer}
What an ADORABLE family!!! Despite the cold and rainy morning, this evening turned out to be beautiful. This sweet family was a blast. These kids could not have been more cooperative… can’t say that I have had any family that was easier to capture. I’ll say it again… ADORABLE!
Scott + Lydia + Violet {austin family photographer}
Spring Mini-Sessions are in full swing and there are only a couple of spots left! So, if you are looking to get some new family photos in before Easter, now is a GREAT time. We will be moving into our new home the first week of April, so I am trying to squeeze as many in as I can before all of the craziness. For more information, click HERE!
The Hekman’s may be the sweetest little family EVER! We had so much fun laughing and watching Violet enjoy the rocks and all of the dogs running through the creek. I had more than my fair share of photos to edit, because I just COULD NOT choose… every photo was just as precious as the one before.
Dannea + Steve {austin maternity photographer}
Ever since becoming a mommy, I have a very special place in my heart for maternity and newborn sessions. There is nothing more precious than the sweet time you spend preparing for your first little one! I have a new love and respect for new moms and moms-to-be. It is such a special and unique time in your life, and I feel so honored to be able to capture it in photos.
Dannea and Steve are about to have a precious baby boy, and I couldn’t be more excited for them! There is something so wonderful about having a boy! LOVE IT!

Sara + Evelyn {austin family photographer}
There is absolutely nothing sweeter than a new mommy and her precious baby. My sister-in-law has always been beautiful, but there is just something about being a new mom that makes you drop dead gorgeous. Don’t you agree? New moms always have that sweet glow about them, and Sara is no exception. Sara was no doubt meant to be a mom. We got to spend this past weekend with them, and she just radiates happiness! Motherhood obviously suits her well. :)
Check out my beyond adorable niece…
Day 18 {family day}
Ok, I admit… I am a few days behind. Philip has been out of town, and although that is no excuse – it is a lot more difficult to get things done. BUT he is back, and today we had a much needed family day! We spent most of the day enjoying downtown and the Children’s Museum. LOVE my boys!
Day 17 {Bryan, Michelle & Jessie}
Today I met up with Michelle, Bryan, and their adorable pup. What started as a “30 days” photo turned into almost a full shoot, because let’s be honest… these 3 are PRECIOUS, and I just couldn’t help myself!

Day 14 {playground}
Day 14… It’s Caleb again! :)
Not sure how you could be, BUT if you are tired of seeing pictures of my little dude, then you are in luck this week! I have something lined up everyday this week! YAH!!
Happy cloudy Day 14!
Day 12 {Jade}
Meet my very sweet friend, Jade. She and her husband, Jason, are getting ready to have their first baby! I could not be more excited for them. Today, I took photos of the very beginning stages of them preparing the nursery.
Day 11 {Shelby + Phoebe}
Shelby has become one of my dearest friends over the last few months; and her sweet girl, Phoebe, is just the cutest thing EVER! Am I right?
Look at those eyes!!!
Day 9 {happy boy}
I know I said that I wouldn’t post photos of my sweet boy everyday, but can you blame me? This boy is almost always happy… seriously. And today was no exception. Despite the fact that the day came with 5 shots, a finger prick, and Daddy (his most favorite person alive) being gone; this boy was happy as could be. How could you not take pictures of this sweet face every day?
Day 7 {H & M}
Day 7 was spent with sweet in-laws and going to church. Today was the first time that I had to be called out of service to get my little man… he was so sad! BUT the good news is, some of our precious friends got Caleb a giftcard to H & M for his birthday! This is the most perfect gift for him (ME)!!! H&M has by far THE cutest boy clothing around. So, Caleb and I went on a little adventure and picked out some super adorable clothes for his birthday. Sorry, I forgot to take pictures of what we actually bought, but trust me – they are so cute!
So, as boring as this is… H&M is my picture for Day 7. (Tomorrow’s post will be much more exciting!)
Day 6 {Birthday Party!}
Today was Caleb’s 1st Birthday Party!! We are so very blessed to have this sweet boy in our family. Today also marks exactly one year since we signed our foster license… Who would have thought that exactly a year later we would be throwing a party for a sweet baby boy?? How ridiculously amazing is that?
Day 5 {birthday boy}
I vow to not post photos of my child everyday… however, today is his very first Birthday, and tomorrow is his birthday party… so just be prepared! :)
Tonight, we celebrated with dinner at one of our favorite places in Austin, Chuy’s. Yes, we are such a cliche, but proud of it.
LOVE THIS SWEET 1 YEAR OLD BOY!!!
Day 4 {big boy shoes}
Yesterday, Caleb took his first step… nothing crazy. Just one step.
Today, Caleb took TWO steps! And not just two accidental steps… he took his time to balance and slowly took two very good steps (almost 3).
So, for day 4 I took a picture of his very first pair of big boy shoes! We bought them over Christmas with some money that his Great Grandma gave to him as a gift. He LOVES them!
PS… his 1st Birthday is TOMORROW!!!
Sweet Evelyn Ruth {austin birth photographer}
AHHHH!!! I’m an Aunt… again!!
I received a call early Friday morning from my mother telling me that my brother, Brandon, and his wife, Sara, were headed to the hospital to have their sweet baby girl! They live in Dallas, and I had a photo session scheduled for that morning with another family. So, I went ahead and finished up the family session here in Austin, and then headed straight for the hospital in Dallas. It was such an amazing and beautiful thing to be a part of. Sara already proved what an amazing mother she is, and is going to be. Although things didn’t go the way they had planned, Brandon and Sara have always put their sweet girl first, and I am just so proud of them and the way that they have already made such great sacrifices for their little girl! What an incredibly beautiful thing! I could go on and on, but I will let you see for yourself what an incredible day this was…
The Strimel Family {austin family photographer}
I think this sweet little girl wins the award for the most fun 3 year old to photograph. We had a chilly early morning session, but that didn’t stop her… she was full of energy and SO much fun! AND we both share the same love for purple… win.
Smith Family {austin family photographer}
I first photographed the Smith’s a couple of years ago when I had just started my business, so I was extremely excited when they asked me to do their family photos this year. How adorable is their little girl? I have always been slightly annoyed when people try to match up their itty bitty babies… but let’s be real here people, I wouldn’t mind one bit if our little man ended up with this cutie one day. Seriously… so cute.
The Adams Family {austin family photographer}
Indiana is a local Mom/Style blogger here in Austin. Her family is so incredibly adorable and oh so sweet! If you want to see more of this cute family, see them over on Indiana’s blog… Adored Austin.
The Jost Family {austin family photographer}
This family is beyond adorable! We had the most perfect Fall weather for this session, and those boys were so much fun. This is the first of many Fall Family Sessions to come on the blog… so keep checking back over the next few weeks. Also, it’s not too late to book your own!
