Diane and Michael may be the only people I know who would agree to a 7:30 a.m. photo shoot the day after Thanksgiving, but I sure am thankful for that morning warrior instinct! Diane's mother-in-law, Betsy, wanted to capture the whole family together since they do not have frequent opportunities to see each other throughout the year. The stars seem to align in perfect order: the family was together for Thanksgiving, Fall had applied her paintbrush to layer on warm colors all across Austin, and baby Simeon was in the mood to show off his tummy time skills. That is... until he quickly decided that the world wasn't ready for his moves. And when babies make a decision, it sticks.
Location #2, aka back at the house, proved a lot more fruitful. With everyone comfy and cozy (including the doggies!), the lively family dynamic permeated the house. Thank you, Betsy and Michael, Diane and Michael, Caleb, and Simeon for letting me photograph your precious time together! I'm not one for many Thanksgiving traditions, but I think this one might be a keeper.
