{Austin Senior Photographer} Sweet Shelby!

I love when a client has definite ideas about how they want their images to look. It is a great collaborative process to come up with something fun. Shelby was open to my ideas for in-studio but wanted some earthy-outdoorsy stuff as well. I think we came up with some amazing images she is going to LOVE. Here are a few of my faves. Those boots were to-die-for (I may have to go get a pair for myself!!)

{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...
