brrrrrr

Arctic blast anyone? I don’t mind the cold but when it feels 4 degrees outside, my van doors freeze shut and I can’t even get warm inside, I get a little cranky. So cranky I may have driven myself to drive-thru Starbucks even though I gave it up successfully for well over a month. The rolling blackouts make my kids wired too. The worst part though? My children have been talking to each other, themselves and me about how they absolutely cannot wait for February to get here for the last 12 months because it is going to snow. You know, because last February it snowed. It set the precident and now every February it will snow. I’ve spent […]

He steals my heart over and over again.

This little bug turns 3 in just 8 short days. 3, wow. I don’t update on how he’s doing over here on this blog very often, I tend to keep it over on our personal blog and even my one frame a day 365 project, but I thought I’d post here today and say he’s doing really good right now. Better than good, he’s awesome. In fact, I was chatting with a practitioner the other day who works with vaccine injured children regularly, she knew one of our children had a vaccine reaction but she didn’t know which one and she was shocked to hear it was Teagan because looking […]

sunshine

I knew sweet little Miss H was going to rock her first birthday session when this was the first shot I took before we were even ready to get started. And rock it she did 😉 It’s funny because we all planned for a wintry cold session this afternoon and were ready to dodge the rain but instead we were greeted with a glorious day of sunshine and 80 degree temps in January. It was the perfect day to be outside in Austin! I think every resident took advantage of it because downtown was absolutely packed with people out soaking up the sunshine. Man I love this city! And with that […]

birthday girl

Joan’s first birthday session….now this is how I love to be greeted at the front door! HA! Actually, if one thing is clear in these photos it is that Joan adores Jane. She absolutely loves her. In fact, when I am photographing Joan we have to make a effort to keep Jane occupied in the other room because me and my camera just can’t compete! I love the last set, so them!

Happy Birthday sweet girl!

sweet belle

To many of my clients and those who inquire for a session she’s known as “the baby on the green chair” but she does actually have a name! 😉 And the sweetest little personality in the entire world. I loved seeing how much she’d grown and changed in just 6 short months. Catching up with her parents is just like meeting an old friend you haven’t seen in ages, familiar and warm and welcoming. I adore this family and cannot wait to see them again! Belle is about to be one here pretty soon, I can’t believe it!!!

a quick mini share

I don’t always get the extra time to blog mini sessions, but I had to come and post these. I loved everything about this Christmas mini, the family, the outfits, the location, the light that evening…just…everything. It was easy and fun and everything just clicked about it. I love it when that happens….

Amy & Cory, thanks for hanging out with me for awhile, it was great to chat and explore and see how much Ethan has grown in the last year! And I LOVED your Christmas card!!
