I'm Thankful for You!! {Austin Family Photographer}

On this special day, while we draw near to our families, I want to thank each of you for your support of my business. Whether I have had the privilege of photographing you or you just read my blog, I am thankful for you! I love being given the honor of capturing a moment in your lives and creating something beautiful to cherish forever.

With this spirit in mind, I am offering some super specials on sessions. Whether you prefer a session and 8x10 print or a session and set of digital files, there is a special "thank you" rate available this weekend only. As well, a couple of really neat gifts to give yourself or those you love. Please note, these specials are available thru Monday. Sessions purchased must take place at our studio by March 30, 2010. Use your session for child, family, or senior portraits!

Thank you again!!

So Grown Up! {Georgetown Child Photographer}

I've been working with these girls since B was a newborn! Wow, they have grown up soooo much (even though I still have a 24x30 canvas of them from 2 yrs ago up in my studio - one of my all-time faves!!). Look at N with her missing front teeth!! Now *that* is a moment you should definitely capture in a portrait. She is so adorable! Anyway, they came in recently, along with big brother M for holiday portraits. Here are a few of my faves...

Lovely Lyla {Austin Baby Photographer}

I met Laura & Rick back in 2005 when I photographed their beautiful wedding at the Driskill hotel. I recently got to meet their sweet baby girl, Miss Lyla. She is gorgeous, just like her mommy :) And what a sweetie! She was slow to warm up to me, but when she got going, she gave us some adorable smiles and expressions. Here are a few faves...

More to Love {Austin Family Photographer}

I have the pleasure every year of photographing a wonderful family with seven children. Yes, I said SEVEN. Tonya is one of the most patient moms I know! Her kids are so well-mannered and amazing, I just don't know how she does it! But it makes my job easy - not to mention, they are all BEAUTIFUL! This year we headed to the state capitol - we had to fight traffic and were losing light fast, but we were able to pull out a great session! Here are some highlights!

So in Love ... {Austin Maternity Photographer}

Michele and Robin are expecting a bundle of joy! They are keeping it a surprise, one of the last real surprises left in the world. I know one thing, though. That baby is going to be a part of a very loving family! They were so sweet - so totally in love and excited about this baby! I am honored to be a part of such a special time in their lives. Here are a few of my faves from their recent session...

Sweet Baby H {Georgetown Newborn Photographer}

Sweet little Miss Hensley made her debut a couple weeks early! What a wonderful surprise :) I'm so glad we had done Heather's maternity session a little early, so that we could be ready for the Divine Miss H! She slept peacefully the whole time, just the perfect little angel! She has also joined our Bright Beginnings - Baby's First Year Club, so I'll get to see her precious self three times this year!! LOVE it!! Here are a few of my faves ...

Ho Ho Holidays!! {Georgetown Child Photographer}

We had a blast this past weekend with our holiday mini sessions. It was great seeing all the different outfits and how everyone chose to incorporate the theme of "White Christmas." I can't wait for everyone to see the custom cards we've designed, something special for each of you!! Here are a few highlights of the White Christmas sessions ...

Sweet William {Austin Newborn Photographer}

Little William came to see me recently. He is our newest Bright Beginnings Club member, which means I'll get to see his sweet face three times this year. I love capturing all the milestones during a baby's first year. His newborn session was great - he was very alert and SO strong! Already pushing with his legs like an athlete! I'll wager he is going to be an early walker!! Here are a few faves from his session - enjoy!

3Ks + Cool Location = 2Cute! {Austin Family Photographer}

I recently "acquired" access to a VERY cool location, right near my studio (so no "on-location" fees!!). I took one of my favorite families out for their annual family session. The T family and their little "3Ks" were the perfect subjects in this gorgeous setting. And I was thrilled to get a good one of the three kiddos together, because little Kohen is at "that age" where she wants to do her OWN thing - not what the silly old photographer would like her to do!! I hope Cheri loves these as much as I do - and that this family portrait will work great in her family room with the warm red walls!

A few openings left... {Holiday Photographer}

We have a few spots open in our White Christmas set for this weekend. Your mini session is only $25 per person OR you can pre-order a fabulous collection (24 custom cards w/envelopes, 1-11x14 OR 2-8x10 prints, plus 8 wallets) for $249 and save the session fee!

Check out this cutie who came in today...

Baby on Board! {Georgetown Pregnancy Photographer}

I met the lovely R family recently for a maternity session. They were referred to me by a great client, Cheri, and I'm so glad they came in! We had a great time talking about the Longhorns and how they are preparing for the arrival of their little baby girl. And what a cool name they have chosen (shhh, I promised not to tell!!) I can't wait to meet her in a few weeks. In the meantime, here are a few of my faves from their session...

Sweet Parker - Growing So Fast! {Austin Baby Photographer}

I can't believe how quickly that first year speeds by. Even though I witness it often with our Bright Beginnings Baby Club members, like little Miss Parker, I am still amazed how much they change in such a short time. It is so much fun to see the transition from tiny, helpless baby to active, exploring toddler. Parker is crawling like mad, and we had fun keeping her contained!! But she was a trooper, letting us dress her in all the adorable clothes mommy brought - even the dreaded Halloween costume with HOOD - what a sweetie pie! Here are a few of my faves from her 3rd session, and looking forward to her one year session!! It'll be here before you know it!

Cookin' Up a Family {Georgetown Pregnancy Photographer}

Okay, I couldn't resist the title! Chef James Ramsey of Silver & Stone Restaurant and his lovely wife, Teri, came in for a maternity session recently. They are so cute - so much in love, and their spunky little girl Layla make for a really fun session. I can't wait to meet the new bundle of joy - I hear he is making his entrance this week or next at the latest! In the meantime, here are a few of my (many) faves from this session...

Blogging, Holidays, Busy, Oh My! {Stressed Out Photographer}

I just want to apologize to those who are waiting on a blog posting!! If you watch the blog, you probably thought I was on vacation, maybe lounging somewhere tropical with an umbrella in my drink :) Nope, just gearing up for the busy season!! I will be posting something each day the rest of this week, I promise!!

Also, I wanted to let everyone know about our upcoming Holiday Minis, November 12-14. That is next week, folks!! We are doing a "white christmas" set with a white tree, white sparkly presents and white rug. Of course, white, gray or pastel clothing will be super, but kids-in-jammies are always adorable, and the bright colors popular this season will also really pop against the white! I also have some white tutus!

We will also have a red holiday setup available for those trendy black/white/red combos I've been seeing everywhere!!

These sessions are limited to three days (Thur 11/12 thru Sat 11/14). If you want a Saturday, you need to call ASAP, those will go fast! 930-1902

Two options for your session:

a) $25 per person session fee, covers session only OR

b) $249 incl session, 1-11x14 & 8 wallets (same pose), plus 24 holiday cards. Up to 5 family members, $25 per additional.

We hope to see you!!
