Still here!

December 1, 2008 Posted in Client Work, Multiples


This is the beautiful “H” family twin boys, 7 months old.:-)

Just a quick post to let ya’ll know that I’m still here! I haven’t been keeping up with my blog lately and I apologize for that! I know I owe a few more sneak peeks to some of the beautiful families I’ve had the privilege of photographing. I’m working diligently to get them all done this week! I know it’s December and Christmas is fast approaching. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. If you’re a frequent lurker of my blog – please leave me a comment to let me know you’re out there.:-)

More sneak peeks coming this week!

Pettiskirt

November 24, 2008 Posted in Babies, Client Work

I was so excited when I found out that Miss A’s mommy had ordered a pettiskirt for her first birthday party! Our photo session was scheduled for the day before the big birthday bash, so she got to wear it for her pictures! Every picture I took could be on a postcard. Miss A is such a beautiful little baby toddler! Enjoy your sneak peek!

Urban Maternity/Family

November 19, 2008 Posted in Maternity

I’m just now sharing a sneak peek of my friend Mandy’s urban maternity/family session from two weeks ago! Since I made them (and you all) wait for the sneak peeks – I’ve decided to show more photos from their session! I had so much fun with their cute family that morning (thanks for lunch)! Miss “C” is exactly a month younger than Hunter and she’s already got a huge vocabulary! She’s so sweet too. I have even more adorable photos of her and her pink lollipop! Can’t wait to take pictures of your new baby boy next month! Enjoy your sneak peek!

Ok that 5D is AMAZING! The quality of these are amazing and it is a noticeable difference from the ones with the Nikon. Those were good but these are so crystal clear. I am saving but I dont know if I will ever get there…

Little Cowboy

November 7, 2008 Posted in Client Work, Families

First off, today is Hunter’s 2nd birthday!! (Nov 6th) My sweet boy has made me his “mama” for 2 years. He’s growing so much verbally – can pretty much repeat anything we ask him to and is starting to string 2 word sentences together! This is big news for Hunter since he’s been speech delayed up until now. Go Hunter! This year we laid low and didn’t throw him a birthday party. Mostly because my weekends are now full of sessions and editing and well, one more thing to add to the mix would be too much for me. Next year I’ll make it up to him with a big ol’ birthday bash. He did get a bike and 30 cupcakes (Sams!) and a big elmo face balloon (the thing was ten bucks!). Not too shabby. He’s also getting presents from family and friends as we see them.:-)

This past weekend, I had the privilege of doing a swap photo session for another Austin photographer. That was fun! They live in the Hill Country and own a 20 acre ranch. Their little 22 month old cowboy was super cute and energetic! Here’s a sneak peek!

Jessica Wright - November 7, 2008 - 6:43 AM

These are great, love the flare!

crystal - November 7, 2008 - 8:20 AM

Nice!!! Happy Birthday to Hunter! :)

Jessica - November 7, 2008 - 2:16 PM

Great job on these! Do you have any birthday pics of the birthday boy?!

Concerned parent - November 12, 2008 - 9:35 AM

Happy Birthday Hunter!!! Shame that you are too busy to have a party for him, he only turns 2 once and they grow up fast! Hopefully things will slow down so that Hayden can have a first birthday party.
