September 9, 2009 Posted in Client Work

This month (September), I am giving away a complimentary mini portrait session as part of the PMDA Portraits of Love program.

But I need your help!

If you know of a family living in Austin with a Mommy or Daddy serving our country, please let me know! I will pick one family at random from all the replies I receive by September 11th. The winner will receive a mini portrait session in September, a complimentary keepsake DVD with 10 high resolution portraits and 10 5×7 prints to mail to their loved one serving overseas (value over $400).

Deadline for entry: September 11, 2009
Winner will be notified by email!
First off, thank you to all our contest entrants!! Thank you soooo much for serving our great country!!

We have a winner!! Congratulations to the “S” family from Killeen, TX – proud new parents to a beautiful baby boy born on August 18th! Daddy is serving in Iraq but got to come home for a short time to see the birth of his son. I am so excited to meet this special family and give them their own portraits of love! Check back later this month for their sneak peek!!

Thank you for helping me give a special military family their own portraits of love!

18 months old | Austin Children’s Photographer

September 2, 2009 Posted in Children, Client Work


You may have seen this little cutie on my blog earlier this year! Miss “C” is now 18 months old and has the sweetest curls in her hair! She still has those gorgeous brown eyes that are going to break some hearts one day! I managed to keep up with her at the park last week, after breaking my toe just 5 days before her photo session. (Even with a broken toe, I only rescheduled one photo session – I love my job so much I just can’t stay out of the game for long!) Enjoy your sneak peek, “S” family!

Cousins | Austin Children’s Photographer

August 28, 2009 Posted in Children, Client Work, Families

You might remember little “J” from my blog a few months ago. He just turned six years old! His cousins were in town to celebrate his birthday and I got together with them for a portrait session before they headed off to his birthday party! I am a little late posting this sneak peek, so I put together a blog storyboard to show off a few more sneak peeks than usual! Such an cuuuute looking bunch of kids!

Mine | Austin Baby Photographer

More sneak peeks coming soon – my apologies for those families waiting to see their pictures! I broke my toe earlier this week and it’s been hard to get back up on my feet again (pun intended).:-)I’ll be sharing more sneak peeks later this weekend/early next week!

And because I can’t post without a photo – here is my littlest boy, Hayden, 16 months old…

One Years Old | Austin Toddler Photographer

August 19, 2009 Posted in Babies, Children, Client Work

I met this adorable family at Mayfield park a few days ago for their daughter’s one year old portrait session. Miss “L” was such a sweet baby girl, full of smiles and giggles.:)I just adored her pink tutu that she wore towards the end of the session too! Another photographer came up during our session and commented on how cute she was in her tutu. The photog told us that she was a mom of boys. Hmmm… that sounds familiar!;-)

Enjoy your sneak peek! Happy 1st Birthday to your beautiful little girl!!

This is her (affectionately named) “stinky” face…:)
