Taylor Family

I first met the Taylor’s about 5 years ago when we first moved to Austin. At the time, we all went to the same church and attended the same Sunday school class for young newlyweds. We were at that church for a couple years and then life got busy… moving house(s), having children, changing churches and we’ll… its been at least 3 years since I had seen them! I was so excited when they booked a photo session with me for their Christmas pictures! Their two children (ages 2.5 and 6 months) are *so* darling and have the most amazing blue eyes…

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.:-)

Pettiskirt

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

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!

Lisa - November 21, 2008 - 12:43 PM

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…
