….my maternity session scheduled for tonight is turning into a birth session today! I’m bummed we won’t squeeze in a few maternity shots but super excited to photograph the birth, I love photographing the miracle of life. I’ll be away for awhile, and since it was my day to catch up on emails as we were drowning of the details of buying a new car yesterday, please bear with me. I’ll be back soon!
I was so excited about my mini maternity session tonight with Christy & Dominic. Christy and Jase used to work together and she was a big part of getting my family over here to Austin, so I was super excited to meet her!
Christy & Dominic, thank you for enduring the cold and wind tonight, you were troopers! I hope you like your sneak peek and I’ll see you (3!) in a few weeks!!
You ever have one of those days where things just don’t go right. Nothing bad happened, but nothing goes as planned? Today was that day.
My session first thing this morning didn’t go as planned, so bummed about that. Then I got a call from my husband on my way home that the repair place called about my Explorer and the repairs would be more than the stupid thing is worth. Sigh….we planned on replacing it with a minivan this year but we weren’t ready yet. Much less on short notice. With our work schedules and kids activities, 2 of the 3 need carpool and pre-k drop offs / pickups….we are sooo not a one car family. So we found ourselves […]
Have you ever thought about what a boring, mundane (yet clean) place this world would be without kids? Kids are awesome….
Love it. Love my job.
Stay tuned this weekend and coming up week, this place is going to be hoppin’…..a beautiful family all the way from Arkansas, this little one decided to cuddle with his parents a little early and I have 3 mini maternity sessions, hello Austin baby boom!
Be warned, this is a marathon post filled with snapshots, color casts, out of focus images and just everyday stuff. But it’s also filled with love, so I can overlook the rest, hope you can too.
Today was good. Today I put work down. I let the house go. I enjoyed the most simple of pleasures with my kids and….it was good. Really good. My husband was grouchy today (what is there to be grouchy about dude?). The kids were crazy. Excited. Wired. Fun. And even though the house got trashed, there are piles of wet clothes and sneakers and socks and mittens by the front door, the stack of dishes and crap piled up on the counters in the kitchen […]
Laura and Tim are in the fight of their lives. Every day. They are fighting to save their son. Working, looking, praying for a cure for Duchenne. Sadly, there are thousands of other families, just like them, who have a son with Duchenne, fighting the same battle. They are fighting time. And my heart aches for them.
Duchenne is fatal.
There is no cure.
But there is hope.
I knew from the moment I was asked to photograph this family that they would change me. I knew I’d learn a lot about Duchenne, something I knew very little about. I knew I’d come home and hug my children tighter, appreciate the smaller moments a little more. I knew I’d cry proofing their photos. More […]
