a photography tip, flat taryn | austin child photographer

My kids have PCS (photographer child syndrome). Bad. It’s much harder to get shots of them because they know my tricks. They know the game and many days, they just don’t want to play. I have to be on my toes a lot, and I know many photographers and moms know the feeling. But guess what? PCS, it’s not just for photographers kids, its for their friends too. Tis true. Exhibit A: Lily, Taryn’s BFF. I first photographed her at 18 months old and since then, well, she’s kind of gotten over me and my camera shanigans. My old die hard tricks don’t even crack the surface. And with their family session coming up soon, I wracked my brain thinking […]

don’t let these sweet little faces fool you. these two are always up to something. al-ways. snapped this at the door as I dropped her off for a playdate this morning. these girls will drop their respective mom’s like a hot potato if it means they get to be together. I think we’re on playdate #3 between our houses for the week…..inseperable these two (wasn’t this just yesterday?!). If they aren’t together, they are asking to be.

T never takes off her half of their best friends necklace (Carol you did awesome with that gift btw!!). Oh, and yes, T also informed me that Alli is a better Mom than me […]

Alli just sent me these and oh gosh, they crack me up. I didn’t bring my camera but thankfully Alli’s mom had her point and shoot in her purse. These two were something else! I love the little kid pedi chairs (thanks Becky for the recommendation!!). The little trays are dvd players, how cool is that?!

The look on Taryn’s face in the last shot cracks me up! My girl loves a good massage. If you could have heard their conversations, so funny. I don’t think the workers had any idea what was coming their way when the blond hair, blue eyed, divas stopped in. Alli thanks for sending these to me! […]

gorgeousness | austin maternity photographer

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 […]
