Austin Family and Newborn Photography: Baby Tiolu’s Session
Austin Family Photography, Austin Newborn Photography is all about capturing those precious early moments: Bright eyes. Sleepy smiles. Curly fingers and toes. Those are some of the things we hope for in newborn photo sessions. And when it comes down to it, this newborn boy photo shoot did not disappoint! Baby Tiolu provided some irresistibly adorable shots during his newborn session.
Meet The Family
Accompanied by his mom, Taara, and his dad, Michael, the whole family came in to the Cedar Park studio to celebrate their growing family. Take a peek at this little one’s big day! Taara, Michael, and Tiolu came to the studio with a general idea for the type of session they would want. We expanded on their ideas to make it a simple (but adorable), family-oriented session that focused on their little cutie!
Taara and Michael were a wonderful couple to work with. They were so excited about the session, and so full of love for one another and their newborn son! Both were eager to take posing direction as we took their portraits, wanting to preserve this memory for their collective futures. They are beautiful people, inside and out. Tiolu is so lucky!

Capturing the Connection
Like I often do, I took photos with the couple together and separately. We started out with parent photos, because often baby needs a little help to get to sleep when they first get into the studio. It’s so lovely to watch that connection between parents and their babies happening in real time. In these photos with Michael, you can see Tiolu slowly starting to nod off. With how sweet Tiolu’s dad is with him, I can imagine why!
When Tiolu got to take photos with his mom, that’s when the snoozing happened! Taara’s photos with Tiolu are so beautiful. Her smile was radiant, and she looked like such a proud mama in her photos. We did several different types of portraits, including the popular “birds-eye view” shot.
A Classic Newborn Boy Photo Shoot
We did manage to get a few really cute photos of Tiolu with his eyes open. He had these bright, dark eyes that were so beautiful. We made sure to do some close-up shots of this little guy when his eyes were open! Eventually, as you can see, Mr. Tiolu slept for the rest of his photoshoot. Don’t get me wrong — Tioulu was so sweet the whole time, even while awake, but once we got him asleep, he was a gem.
While I loved doing this newborn baby photo shoot with Taara and Michael, I also am such a huge fan of doing solo baby shots — because I get to use my tiny little newborn props! The little beds are some of my favorites. Tiolu had his little tongue out the whole time, which was adorable. Of course, I had to get a few shots of him with the little prop teddy bear. Not all cute newborn photos involve props; some of my favorites of Tiolu are these simple ones where we have him posed on a beige background.
