Rockin' Breakfast with Santa

If you have children and want a stress-free way to visit Santa this year, be sure to come out to the Breakfast with Santa at First Baptist Church in Georgetown, on Saturday, Dec 6. This fun event is put on by the Performing Arts Studio, where my daughter takes dance lessons. You'll also be entertained by the dance troupe's performance of "Rock the Tree" while enjoying breakfast and visiting with the man in red.

Don't need to visit Santa? You can take in an evening performance of Rock the Tree on Friday, December 5 at 7pm. Either way, it's guaranteed to be a rockin' good time! For ticket info, please call 512-863-2750 (and tell them you saw it here on the MasonPhoto blog!)

Urban Family Fun

Well, not *really* urban ... more like industrial urban out in hicksville, LOL. The "M" family was adventurous with me and we got some amazing and fun images! I've been photographing this family for about five years and the boys seem SO grown up now. And they are all so darn gorgeous, I look forward to our session each year! Here are a few of my faves ...

And we finished with an ice cream treat - believe it or not, the ice cream shop is next door to the industrial ruins, LOL. Always an adventure!!

Baby's First Christmas

One of my favorite families over the last several years added a new member to their family recently. They came in for her first Christmas portraits this week. Big sister "M" was so sweet to baby "M." I was impressed how well baby M could lift her head at only 8 weeks old! And of course big sis was as adorable as always. Here are some of my faves ...

And of course Baby M was happiest when we took her clothes OFF!

"Two" Cute

The "D" family came in last week for a fun session with their two girls. Mom warned me little "K" was a pistol when it comes to being photographed. You wouldn't have known it!! What a couple of darling girls! And big sis, "A," really helped get the groove going with her dance moves. Here are a few of my faves from the session.

Growing Like a Weed!

This little guy I have been photographing since he was a newborn, over FIVE years ago. Wow, time flies! Here is Caz and his gorgeous Mommy - they came out today for a combo outdoor and studio session. These are a few of my faves ...

Totally Terrific Two!

Meet the "L" family - and the delightful Mr. "K." He is two, and there is nothing terrible about him! He was a teeny bit slow to warm up to me, especially in the studio, but it didn't take long to get some amazing smiles. Then when we went outside to explore the creek, he was "all boy" and we had a great time climbing trees, tossing leaves and running through the tall grass.
I loved the outfits that they chose - both mom and auntie and little K. I think I'm inspired to do red and chocolate brown for our next family photo session!!
Here are a FEW of my faves - Stephanie, you really are going to have a tough time choosing - there are SO many awesome ones!! Good thing we have the session album and a slideshow!! Such a great way to remember his "Terrific Two" session :)

Cozy Christmas - big fun!!

Our Cozy Christmas set has been so much fun. We have kept it up a few extra days (heck, it feels so homey in here, I may leave it til Christmas, I mean, it DOES have a tree...) and everyone just loves it. Here are a few of my faves ...

My sweet babies ... so grown up!!

Sweet Baby G!

Meet the newest, sweetest member of our Bright Beginnings Baby club - baby G. He was such a happy little guy! His mommy drove all the way in from Austin, I hope that she is as pleased as I am with his first session. Next time, I hope we can capture a few of baby G with his mommy & daddy!! Here are a few of my faves ...
