{Austin Family Photographer) Meet Baby Lela!

I've been photographing the lovely "A" family for a few years now, ever since big sis Kaya was one of our Bright Beginnings babies. They've added another gorgeous girl to the family. I'm excited that little Lela is our newest Bright Beginnings Baby Club member - so I'll get to see her two more times this year! Here are a few of my faves from her first session...

{Georgetown Senior Photographer} The Lovely Miss Cassi

Wow, I have had SO much fun with all the seniors this spring. We still have several to go, and some spaces open! The adorable Cassi came in recently for a designer session - which includes our indoor studio and outside on our ten acre property. She brought so many cool outfits and activities; we even took her out in her prom dress to the railroad tracks!! So creative!! Here are a few of my faves ..

{Austin Family Photographer} Connections!

I just love my job! It's always fun to make new connections with other businesswomen, and then get to share in their family. Melinda is the editor of Austin Woman Magazine and we "met" through my running an ad in their "Pink Pages," which features woman-owned businesses. I was thrilled to photograph her lovely family recently. They were so gorgeous and stylish - when she asked if she should wear the orange shirt, I just LOVED it! It really pops with the other colors and the outdoor setting. And little B was hilarious. He is two and kept me on my toes - and he wasn't too happy that my antique/rusty tricycle didn't really move, LOL. We got some great images - here are a few of my faves ...

{Georgetown Family Photographer} Bluebonnets!

The rain this winter REALLY pumped the bluebonnets, much to my delight! We've been feverishly photographing families, children, a bride, even a dog, in these gorgeous Texas treasures. Here is the C family, whom I've been photographing for a couple years now. I love the outfits they chose, and the weather was just perfect. Not only did we capture that "classic" family image, but we went out further in the field to really let little K go wild. So much fun! Here are a few of my faves ...

{Georgetown Senior Photographer} Tall, Dark & Handsome

Okay, I had to say it :) Keith came in for his senior session recently and yes, he is TALL, and very handsome, and well, the hat made me think "dark." Such great style! We got lots of great stuff, from his treasured pickup (crunched bumper and all), his dog, and other fun memories to celebrate this special time. Here are a few of my faves...

{Austin Newborn Photographer} Major Cuteness!

You'll remember the lovely Lorelei and her outdoor maternity session a few weeks back. Her adorable bundle of joy made his arrival and they came to see me when he was just days old. Little Major was very very calm, but so so alert! I think that means he is going to be super smart! And he is oh so adorable! We did manage to get a few sleeping images, too! Here are a few of my faves from his newborn session ...

{Austin Family Photographer} A Bird in the Hand ...

That is what the "C" family said to me when, the morning of their session, it was dreary outside! Rather than chance another weather mishap, they decided to just come in and make it work. Lo and behold, the rain held off for a couple hours and we not only got some beautiful studio images, but we were able to go outside as well. Jenny really wanted something different for her family portrait, and I think we nailed it! It was great working with this family - they found me at the annual PlayBingo event (I volunteer for the Center for Child Protection, and donate to the auction at this event). Click the link for more info on how you can attend this very fun annual charity event! Here are a few of my faves from their session ...

These three images of their beautiful children would make a stunning wall gallery - perfect as 20x16s - to accentuate any room in their home. And with big brother headed off to college in California, it's the perfect way to keep him close to heart.

{Georgetown Child Photographer} Jumpin' J!

I love this little guy! He has been in twice now, to commemorate his birthdays. J just turned SIX and is a bundle of energy! He was great to make mom happy with some nice portraits, but his fun personality really came through in his John Deere green! Here are a few of my faves. I especially love that mom jumped in for a couple. That is something they will both treasure!

{Austin Pageant Photographer} Miss Payce!

Another little cutie pie that I love to see came in recently. Payce is only two and already quite a pageant winner! I love working with her because not only is she cheek-pinching adorable, but she also follows directions SO WELL!! Yes, she asks "are we done?" after every shot, but she still hangs in there! Here are a few faves from her recent "headshot" session...

{Austin Senior Photographer} The Lovely Jillian

I was excited to work with Jillian recently. She is such an amazing girl - beautiful both inside and out. Headed to nursing school soon, she wanted some natural outdoor portraits. We had a fun time doing just that - plus a few in the studio, too! Here are a few of my faves...

It's My Birthday - YOU Get the Presents!! {Austin Family Photographer}

Yes, it's that special day that comes once a year. As I get older, birthdays have more special meaning to me, yet somehow I dread them, LOL. So this year, instead of ME getting gifts, I'm giving one to you, my lovely clients.

For 24 hours only, I am having a Birthday Bonanza! For only $599.00+tax, you can get a session here at the studio (indoor or outside - yes, the bluebonnets are still blooming for a few days), plus a CD of your favorite ten images with personal print license, those same images as 5x7 finished prints, and one 11x14 mounted portrait. Print as many as you' d like from the cd -share with family and friends, make cards, books, etc! Save over $600!

The only "catch" is that you must use this session by May 31, 2010. Session must be booked by choosing the "buy now" button here on the blog. Please include your email and PHONE so we can call you to select a date. WEEKEND dates are VERY limited (none in April), so if your schedule requires a weekend, don't delay! No limit on how many you purchase, but each one is good for a single session (no combining) and session must take place by May 31, 2010! (May not be combined with any other offer - sorry!!)

Enjoy!!

{Georgetown Senior Photographer} The Unsinkable Molly B!

Okay, that quote is just stuck in my head - unsinkable has nothing to do with this Molly :) I did have a blast with Molly B - she shares many of my hobbies - travel, photography, sports! And the girl is funny! I just love my job - getting to meet such great young people and create something special for them to remember this amazing time in their lives. Here are a few of my faves from Molly's "designer" session ...

{Georgetown Senior Photographer} Beautiful Alexa

The lovely Alexa came in for her senior portraits last week. I have been photographing the women of this family for several years now, starting with Kari - who comes in semi-annually for her business portrait - and then big sis, Kelsey. I am honored to continue to celebrate the gorgeous women in this family! Alexa has big plans to head overseas after graduation - I'll admit a bit of envy and travel-lust when she was telling me about her options. I know she will do great! Here are a few faves from her session ...

BLUEBONNETS!! {Austin Family Photographer}

I know you've all seen the bluebonnets popping up along the highways. Well, since I will NEVER put a child at risk by photographing them alongside a busy street, I have waited til ours (on our studio property) are ready - and they ARE!

We are booking this week and next, with a BONUS - Saturday, April 10, we will be off-site at a private ranch for sessions. There will not be an extra Saturday fee (like there normally is), so if you need a Saturday and want bluebonnets, this is your only chance :)

Call now to schedule your session - these will take place in late afternoon/evening, so weeknights shouldn't cause too many scheduling issues with school and work! 512.930.1902
