How this was 13 years ago, I have no idea! Then Jake was born and this newborn session feels like yesterday and a million years ago. And then he was 6 months old, then the session we laughed the entire time! Time is so weird and a little cruel! I love love love that Colleen wore the same red shoes she wore in our first session together. A tiny little detail that adds so much meaning! How do those tiny little babies now look like grown men?! Don’t blink! 
A little bit of drama and a little bit of sweetness!
It’s hard to believe I have been photographing Connor for a decade! He’s gone from a little boy to an incredible young man. I cannot believe he is a senior!! Photographing senior guys can be a challenge, real smiles take a different effort, but not Connor! He has a great smile and shares it genuinely and often! Connor is such a nice and upstanding young man, he gives me genuine hope for this generation. And huge thank you to Ridgewood Country Club in Waco for letting us shoot on the golf course! They were so kind and accommodating! 
That middle child though! Middle children are some of my favorite to photograph! Seriously, I love photographing this family, so much fun!! Both mom and dad are musicians and it was fun to catch up with the kids and hear about their interests, they’ve grown so much!
These people have my heart. I first met them 14 years ago when my sweet client, Julie Applewhite, wife of assistant UT football coach Major Applewhite, asked me if I would be interested in doing some charity work for a family Mack and Sally Brown were raising money for. I had no idea the first time I met these 4 that I would still be photographing them all this time later. We have shared so many laughs and prayers, what a huge blessing they are! These now young adults have big beautiful hearts and a faith in God we should all strive for. This first image might be my most favorite image of them ever….the power of prayer!
My sweet friend Tara has been a photographer in Austin for many years with Life is Sweet Photo Boutique. She retired a few years ago and I will admit, I was a little sad because I absolutely love the way she captures my family! She’s taken our family photos before and was present for Zachary’s birth and newborn session. I treasure every photo she’s ever taken of us. This year I took a chance and reached out asking if she wanted to swap sessions and I was shocked and so thrilled when she said yes! Her family went first and I was so happy it worked out that her mom (who is just gorgeous!) and nephew could jump in as […]
