Officially a teenager, a little scary for us, exciting for him.  He has an air of confidence around him that shines through the awkward stage he’ll soon leave behind right along with being a little boy.  He’s not little, he’s as tall as I am and will pass me up any day.  I see him figuring out the world, embracing it, getting angry at it and all of it’s injustices and ultimately finding patience for it all because just when he it figures something out, it changes.  His opinions about the world around us and the people in it, they are forming right before us and it’s a joy, and a […]

the first year | austin baby photographer

So many moments run through my mind….I put together a slideshow of just a few.

To my sweet Teagan,

Today is your first birthday, and I am mixed with feelings ranging from sadness that this first year has gone by so fast, each moment more fleeting than the next, all the way to excitement for the person we have come to know and the second year that stands before us.  You came in to this world with a family full of love just waiting for you.  It still brings tears to my eyes to think that a mere few hours after you arrived, we almost lost you.  Your dad and I held on tight, to one another, to you.  All […]

I thought I would go ahead and post this since everyone on our list should have their invites by now.  Press printed, front and back on linen.  After 3 sessions I gave up and used a snapshot, but it’s so him, love it.

taryn is super excited about the theme….as she calls it a “valentiMes day mohawk party”  LOL!  and the thank you notes, this is the front, the back is just plain white for a handwritten note….again, press printed on linen.

I still have a million things to do both for is actual birthday tomorrow and for his party on Saturday.  […]
