10 Best Baby Shower Venues in Austin, TX: Celebrate in Style

Planning the perfect baby shower in Austin, Texas, is a big part of the excitement leading up to your little one’s arrival. I’m Olesya from Zesty Orange Photography, and I’ve handpicked ten memorable baby shower venues around…

When you welcome a new baby, it’s not just the b

When you welcome a new baby, it’s not just the beginning of their story—it’s a new chapter for their siblings, too.

That’s why we always encourage including big brothers and sisters in your newborn session. These aren’t just “cute sibling photos” (although yes, they definitely are 😍)—they're the first glimpses of a lifelong bond being formed.

📸 The way your toddler leans in for a curious kiss.
📸 The proud smile of an older sibling holding baby’s hand.
📸 The in-between giggles and wiggly snuggles that make the session feel so real.

These portraits will mean the world to you today—but one day, they’ll mean everything to them, too.

Our studio is fully prepared to make sibling participation joyful, relaxed, and natural. We even build in time for breaks, snacks, and a little play—because we know real moments happen in the pauses. 💛

Newborn Session FAQs: Everything You’ve Been Won

Newborn Session FAQs: Everything You’ve Been Wondering, Answered! 🍼✨
Thinking about booking a newborn session but not sure what to expect? Don’t worry—you’re not alone! Here are the most common questions we get from new parents (and our reassuring answers):

📆 When should I book my newborn session?
We recommend booking during your second trimester. We reserve your spot based on your due date, then adjust once your baby arrives. Since we take a limited number of newborns per month, early booking ensures availability!

🗓 What if my baby comes early or late?
No problem at all! We stay flexible and only book a set number of sessions each month, so we can shift your session as needed once your baby arrives.

👶 What if my baby is over 2 weeks old?
While the first 14 days are ideal for those sleepy, curly poses, we happily photograph babies over 3 weeks old too! We adjust the session flow based on your baby’s age and temperament—older newborns bring more alert, interactive moments and just as much beauty.

🎨 What should we bring?
Nothing but yourselves (and diapers, of course)! We provide:
✔ A full studio wardrobe for baby and mom
✔ All wraps, headbands, hats, and props
✔ A warm, cozy studio to keep baby comfortable
✔ Professional hair & makeup for mom (yes, it’s included!)

📸 Do we get family photos too?
Absolutely. Our newborn experience includes portraits of the baby alone and with parents, siblings, and even pets, because this is a milestone for the whole family. 🐾💛

🖼 What happens after the session?
You’ll return to the studio for your viewing and ordering appointment, where we’ll walk you through your final images and help you choose from our custom heirloom products—albums, wall art, and more. We’ll even install your wall art for you!

💬 Still have questions? Let’s chat!
We’d love to walk you through the process, answer any concerns, and start planning your perfect newborn session.

Are Bluebonnet Sessions Worth It? Let Me Tell You

Are Bluebonnet Sessions Worth It? Let Me Tell You Why… 💙🌼
If you’ve ever driven past a field of Texas bluebonnets in full bloom, you know it’s not just a photo op—it’s a moment. A fleeting, magical moment that only happens once a year… and yes, it’s absolutely worth capturing.

Our Bluebonnet Sessions are part of our Family Portrait Experience, and they’re nothing short of iconic here in Central Texas. Whether you're a lifelong local or new to Texas, this yearly tradition is something truly special to be part of.

💙 What makes them so magical?
It’s not just the flowers—it’s where we take you. We don’t settle for sparse roadside blooms or patchy fields. We’ve spent years scouting the most breathtaking locations—spots where the bluebonnets stretch like a vibrant, royal carpet beneath your feet. No crowds, no distractions—just nature’s beauty and your family front and center.

✨ What to expect:
✔️ A relaxed, joy-filled session in peak bloom
✔️ Expert guidance on outfits, posing & timing
✔️ A chance to start or continue a meaningful family tradition
✔️ And no, you’re not allowed to pick bluebonnets 😉—but you can sit among them and soak in the beauty

The weather is perfect, the wildflowers are waiting, and the memories you’ll make will be as timeless as the portraits we create.

📩 We’re now booking Bluebonnet sessions as part of our spring family experience. These spots are limited and go fast— click the link in our bio to schedule free phone consultation to go over the details.

The Power of Generational Portraits: A Legacy That

The Power of Generational Portraits: A Legacy That Lives On
One day, the tiny hands you hold now will grow. The giggles that fill your home will turn into stories shared around the dinner table. And the people who shaped your life—parents, grandparents, loved ones—won’t always be here to hold.

But their love? Their presence? Their legacy? That can live on forever.

There’s something deeply powerful about generational portraits—more than just faces in a frame, they capture the hands that raised us, the love that shaped us, and the bonds that will last for generations to come.

And here’s the part that truly matters: When children grow up surrounded by these portraits, they grow up knowing where they come from. Seeing photos of their parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents displayed in their home builds a sense of belonging, confidence, and identity. They learn that they are part of something bigger—a family with history, love, and deep-rooted connections.

I’ve seen it time and time again…
A grandmother, hesitant to be photographed at first, later becoming the most cherished part of a portrait. A mom, forever grateful to have one last image of her parents holding her child. A family that looks back years later and says, "I'm so glad we did this."

Because when you look at these portraits years from now, you won’t just see pictures. You’ll see home, love, and legacy.

If you’ve been thinking about capturing a three- or four-generation portrait, now is the time. This season, these moments, and the people you love—it all deserves to be remembered. Let’s create something your family will cherish forever.

📩 Reach out to schedule your generational session today. Because one day, these portraits will mean everything. Click the link in my bio to book your phone consultation.
