my girl and her dog | austin photographer

I’ve been meaning to do this forever, and finally got around to it.  Not easy.  At all.  T and I worked hard for these, and I’m so glad I captured my girl with her dog.  It’s been awhile.

all ya gotta do is say “sit pretty”

I think this pretty much sums it all up.  They are buds.  They watch out for each other.  They drive each other crazy at times, just as most best friends […]

This little guy gave me a run for my money this morning, but we pulled out all the stops and got him to sleep just for a bit.  And would you look at the chub!  It was pretty funny actually, I posed him like this….

I took a few more shots, adjusted my camera, got up to move a few things around….and when I got back to shooting, I found this….

what day is it again? | austin family photographer

1.  Tomorrow is Ty’s last day of elementary school ever.  Yesterday we went to his end of 5th grade award ceremony and it was bittersweet.  He got 5 awards including being voted as a “promise keeper” by his peers.  The little kids and I went and had lunch with him before the awards and I got to meet Ty’s girlfriend.  I was pleasantly surprised when she walked right up to the lunch table, put her hand out to shake mine and introduced herself.  She sat across from me and we chatted, super sweet kid.  I am still not ready for this phase to begin, but I like her more than I thought I would.  I certainly didn’t have that confidence, […]

wordle template | austin photographer

Remember this?

I love the wordle site but wished I could print a great big one at full resolution for my house (we have it printed and it is gorgeous, but haven’t hung it up yet).  I am working on one for my friends nursery and I thought I’d come back and share the template.  So here is the deal….

  • Should work in all versions of photoshop, created in CS4.
  • Consists of an unflattened .psd file.  Each word is its own layer.
  • Sized big at 15×30 and 300 dpi, but you can easily resize it for printing purposes.  Leave the dpi at 300 though for best results.
  • Just change the words to your own.  You […]

thank you | austin photographer

I thought several times about posting here today and just felt blah about it.  I hate that.  This is my place.  To document my life, my children, my work.  I don’t ever want to feel blah about that.  I am thankful for all the comments and support, I honestly didn’t have any idea how it would all go down putting it all out there.  So thank you.  Hopefully it will send a message, but overall, it makes me sad that I feel more protective and have the urge to pull in the reins some.  Yet here I am.  This blog is mine.  And if I want to post, I will.  If people don’t play nice, I’ll password protect it if […]
