Dreamy { Albuquerque & Austin Family Photographer }

October 20, 2010 Posted in Children, Client Work, Families

I’ve been looking forward to sharing these sneak peeks from my good friend and fellow photographer, Bethany Dawn (see her website here!) from our trip to Albuquerque early this month! We met at the most beautiful flower garden with these amazing tall wildflowers and dreamy sunlight! We have nothing like this in Austin – you’d never guess this session took place in Albuquerque, NM!! So lush with blooms, these sneak peeks feel more like spring than fall! Enjoy your sneak peeks, “B” family! Miss you much!

Twice as Nice { Austin Newborn Twins Photographer }

October 19, 2010 Posted in Babies, Client Work

Twins completely tug at my heartstrings. Growing up, I had a lot of twin friends. In our neighborhood alone, we had 3 sets of twins on our block. I love the idea of growing up with someone by your side from day one, your best friend. Sharing life, friends, stories, secrets with someone who knows you better than anyone else. Never really being alone because you’ve been together since before your first breath…

These twin boys are bonded already. The only time they were truly peaceful was when they were together…

Like two puzzle pieces…

So sweet.

One had the sweetest curls…

and I just love brand new bellies…

Thank you for inviting me to photograph your adorable twin boys, “C” family. I hope you enjoyed your sneak peek!

She’s One { Albuquerque Baby Photographer }

October 17, 2010 Posted in Babies, Children, Client Work, Families

I’ve been looking forward to these sneak peeks for almost 2 weeks now! Miss “M” just turned ONE years old and while I was in Albuquerque at the beginning of this month, I had the privilege of taking her one year portraits! Her mommy made me squeal with excitement when she opened her trunk and showed me all the adorable props she brought to make her daughter’s session extra sweet! The evening light in Albuquerque was so beautiful. Ah, heaven.:)

In full swing { Austin Holiday Photographer }

October 11, 2010 Posted in Children, Client Work, Families

I’m very behind on blogging but I promise to be diligent and catch up so everyone can see the adorable children I’ve had the privilege of photographing this fall! In the last month, my photography sessions have taken me as far as Albuquerque, NM and as close as my favorite park here in Austin, TX. My calendar is ALMOST FULL for 2010, but I have a few dates open if anyone still wants to get in on the fun and book a full session for holiday portraits! Pictures truly are the best gifts for loved ones!!

This is the Q family, one of my favorite clients! Aren’t they cute??:)Their session was so fun!!
