Miss Marlee - Austin Baby Photographer

You'll remember Miss Marlee from her newborn session. She was just as sweet this time, but boy has she filled out!! I just love all her little rolls! And her mommy is so excited by this baby, it is contagious. I just adore them both and was so excited to have them back in the studio for a 4month session. They even brought along Nana (who refused to be photographed - but I warned her for next time, I will NOT take NO for an answer :) Here are a few of my faves ...

Urban E Session - Austin Wedding Photographer

You may be wondering why you don't see many engagements/weddings on my blog lately. I've cut back quite a bit, since my kiddos have so many Saturday activities. Jessa was a referral from an AWESOME bride from last year, how could I say no? And she is so adorable!! We headed down to SoCo for some fun images of she and Clark, then off to Auditorium Shores (is that even what it's called these days???) to join up with their fur-babies for a few "family" shots. They got engaged on the pedestrian bridge over Town Lake and wanted to incorporate that into a few as well. A super fun afternoon with two very cool people. I can't wait til the wedding!! Here are a few of my faves ...

Little Princesses - Austin Pageant Photographer

The adorable "R" twins came in recently for their first headshots. I'll admit I was a *little* nervous in getting non-sitting 4mo olds into position for a headshot worthy of entering a pageant, but I think I did a good job. Worked with each baby separately (and as soon as they are sitting, we are going to do a "Teri style" session with both together, LOL) and got some cute smiles, even from "serious" Bella. They were both so sweet! Here are a few of my faves ...

Oh Henry! {Austin Teen Photographer}

Henry came in recently for a session and he is just the nicest guy! Totally easy on the eyes, and a perfect gentleman. I think he wasn't sure about some of my locations and poses, so I hope when he sees these he decides I knew what I was doing :) Here are a few of my faves ...

My Kiddos! {Austin Child Photographer}

With all my traveling lately, I was sure missing my kiddos. So when we got in from church Sunday, I dragged them into the studio for a few quick snaps. Here are my gorgeous babies...

Emma - GHS Class of 2010 {Georgetown Senior Photographer}

The lovely Emma came in recently for her senior session. We had a great time with makeup, wardrobe and weather changes!! Emma is such a fun girl (even though she is an aggie fan). I am her biggest fan, though, because she told me that I looked "about 30-32" for age. LOVE HER!!

We had moved her session up a couple hours since the weather was (finally) rainy, and we couldn't have timed it more perfectly - a nice little sprinkle right as we went out to use her adorable rain boots, then as we were wrapping up at the railroad tracks, her mom brought the car to us seconds before a total downpour!! All-in-all, a rockin' session with an awesome young lady. Here are a few of my (many) faves...

{A big shout-out to Jenny at Creative Edge Bridal, my makeup artist. She rocks!! Keep in mind that you can always add-on her services for your session!}

Local Composer {Austin Headshot Photographer}

I've known the "O" family for several years - way back when I was in MOPS with Krista. Had NO idea that there was such talent in the family. I first heard James' music on facebook (check him out here) and was excited when he asked me to do some headshots for an upcoming project. We got rained out for the urban/outdoor look we originally planned, but ended up in my studio instead. Here are a few of the faves from the session...

Beautiful Mommy-to-Be {Austin Pregnancy Photographer}

The lovely Samantha has been a client, and friend, of mine for quite awhile now, starting with her wedding and engagement in '07. I'm so thrilled that she and Ryan are expecting a baby girl soon! And I got to photograph her beautiful bump! You may remember Ryan from my award-winning firefighter image (with his precious niece). I can't wait to create something special with their baby girl when she arrives - could be ANY TIME NOW!! Here are a few of my faves from their maternity session ...

Newborn Photography - check it out!

One of my fellow photography colleagues was featured on NBC recently. I just came across the clip online and wanted to share. Most of you know I adore photographing newborns - they are so tiny and precious and they change SO fast - that you want to capture that moment to savor forever. I can only hope that my images bring joy to the families of my tiniest clients!
I'm so excited that the art of newborn photography is being recognized nationally! Here is Tracy Rever, out of Minnesota, being interviewed on the Today Show.

Baby Eli - Six Months Already!! {Georgetown Baby Photographer}

Sweet little Eli... he is the spitting image of his big brother, Caleb, with one exception. Add a lot more roundness and rolls. I love it!! He is such a doll! They both have adorable dimples and eyes that just light up when they smile. I'm honored to be capturing Eli's first year, as I did with Caleb, in our Bright Beginnings Baby's First Year Club. This is Eli's 2nd of 3 sessions to capture all the fun milestones that seem to speed by during that first year. Here are a few of my faves from his session ...

Models & Makeup, Oh My! {Austin Facebook Photographer}

The very talented Terri Ewton, makeup artist to the stars, is an old friend of my hubby, Will. When she needed some new portfolio shots, I jumped at the chance to share her talent with my clients! We brought in a few gorgeous women and let Terri work her magic to really make them shine! Such fun, all girls, chatting, putting on makeup, playing with clothes. What could be more fun?? It inspired me to look at scheduling a headshot party - "Facebook Fun Night" - sometime in the near future. If you are interested in coming to something like that, let me know, I'm creating a list! Here are a few of my faves from our session with Terri ... Heather, Molly, Nicole and Sandra - THANK YOU for participating!!
