So a few weeks ago I when I left the house to go do my frient Alli’s maternity photos, Little T was not pleased. She knew Lily would be involved and was not happy about being left behind. When I came home I happened to mention that Lily got a new swing set. Major scowling going on, major. “How do you know that”….”Did you play on it?!“….more scowling. She wouldn’t believe me when I told her I didn’t play on it. She followed me around the house for days insisting that I wasn’t telling her everything. Finally I turned around and told her there is no way my butt would sit on that little swing, I did not play on […]

Again, I sit here not sure what to say or how to convey how much this has changed me. I’m not sure I can. It is my hope I have done this family justice, that I have brought something real and genuine to them. This is a slideshow I put together for Alex and his family. It showcases only a few of the over 200 images from their session, but it tells their story. You can read more about how I came to meet this wonderful family here.

My Name is Alex

Alex, thank you for letting me capture your beautiful family and for inspiring me to live in this moment and to be thankful for the blessings that surround […]

Mother’s Day GIVEAWAY | austin photographer

Guilty confession. I bought myself a wonderful Mother’s Day gift. It’s true. And I am still getting something from my husband and children. Yup, I’m guilty. In my own defense, I just couldn’t resist. Turns out that this gorgeous Momma is the mastermind and creative designer behind Jenny Norene Designs. I’m sure some of you have already seen her designs, she’s been featured by great sites/groups. She is so gracious and so humble, you can read more about how she got started and what she does here.

So to ease my guilt about buying my own extra little gift for Mother’s Day, I bought an extra one to giveaway here on my blog! Nothing like spending even […]

I am finishing up the order for these two cute little guys and wanted to come back and share more than just their sneak peek. I was so excited to get to do this session, I made the drive down to New Braunsfels just a few days after they were born (and shhhhhh don’t mention that little shopping trip I made on the way back at the enormous San Marcos Outlet).

I knew that Mom and Dad had traveled a long road to get these little guys here and I am honored they chose me to capture the first few precious days. I was overcome by how cool and calm these parents are. They don’t begrudge a single moment of […]

another mock photo booth | austin family photographer

I did this with my own family awhile back and I really wanted to show the fun, silly, spontaneous side of Alex and his family. This was done 100% on location, no backdrop, no setup, just all of us sitting in a parking lot having some fun! Can’t beat that.

I created a new template because I wanted to be able to showcase 5 per strip instead of 4 and more importantly, I want to be able to print big (sized at 8 in x 40 in). Once I get all caught up I’ll come back and share the .psd file if anyone is interested.
