The cutest ladybug in all of Austin ... Happy Halloween!



We were very blessed to be invited to a party hosted by MC in benefit of Team in Training and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. She is running the Austin Half Marathon in 2009 (pregnant too!). Larry and I ran the marathon a few years ago.
Inara's photos were taken by Lyndsay of Life in Motion Photography. Here is her website http://www.lifeinmotionphotography.com/ and here is her blog http://www.lifeinmotionphotography.com/photoblog/.
Here is the blog post of all the other kiddos in their costumes http://www.lifeinmotionphotography.com/photoblog/?p=1114

We are very fortunate to have this VERY talented photographer take her pictures. In fact we have booked her for Inara's 6 month and 12 month session. She is one very talented woman and her and her family have experienced significant loss. Their home was destroyed (and I mean destroyed) with all their possessions (including their photographs) in Hurricane Katrina just days after their daughters birth.

Lyndsay was recently awarded the BEST Children's Photographer in Austin by the Austin Chronicle. We are very blessed that Inara will have her pictures taken by Lyndsay.
Lyndsay also does the most amazing thing - she photographs births. We had contacted her to photograph Inara's birth but when we had to have a C-Section we cancelled and it is my biggest regret when it comes to Inara. It is not about whether the birth was vaginal, C-Section, med free, etc. It is about the baby and I didn't realize that until I came to be a mom.
Here is the post on her blog featuring the slide show she has done of a birth http://www.lifeinmotionphotography.com/photoblog/?p=964
The link for the slide show is
Mom, get the Kleenex. I promise you will need it.
She will be photographing #2's birth. Guaranteed!
