freak wind storm, news at eleven | austin kids photographer

Ty took off after school to go play with one of his buddies in our neighborhood. I asked him to be home at 5 o’clock, as usual, and made sure he had his watch.

model casting call | austin photographer

I’m looking for a few fresh faces to participate in some fun, different and modern photographs in and around the Austin area. I am looking for:

A man who is about to do a surprise proposal for his girlfriend!

* Must be planning a surprise proposal anytime between now and July in a public place.
* Engagement will be photographed on the sly….I’ll be the chic with the camera hiding behind that tree over there.
* Must be willing to sign a portrait agreement including a model release giving Life in Motion Photography permission to use the images for promotional purposes (website, blog, marketing materials, etc.)

A set of brothers (2 or more in one family) between the ages of 13 and 18.

“ohhhhhhh myyyyyyyy, the beauty shop is on fiiiiiiiiire”
