10 on Tuesday (well, today) | Austin Family Photographer

((((I wrote this 10 on Tuesday on an actual Tuesday, just moments before my laptop took a swim in latte. My new imac is up and running and I’m slowly but surely catching up. Thanks for hanging in there with me and sending along a few laughs and a few hugs in your comments!))))…….

1. Our Thanksgiving was quiet. And thankful. Can’t ask for much more than that.

2. We finished Teagan’s big boy room. I love it. Really, really love it. I need to get around to taking some pics of it. We had Teagan and Ty switch rooms because Ty has outgrown the twin size bed. And because that furniture fit in that room, the boys had to switch. Ty […]

Starbucks, you only thought it was expensive | Austin Photographer

Let me start by saying everyone’s images are fine. A little delayed, but fine.

Busy season. Crunch time. Living on caffeine. Lot and lots of caffeine as a result of very little sleep. I worked until 3 am and woke up just a few hours later to start all over again. I sat at my computer this morning, sending a few invoices, following up on a few things and I leaned over to click the “print” button to print a recipe so I could head out to the grocery store with the kids first thing this am. We have no food, nothing, I HAD to go today, rain or shine. But I missed the print button and spilled an entire venti […]

I’m not gonna lie | austin family photographer

We had a great day today. I took the day off work and spent some much needed time with my family. The 60 hour work weeks have taken a toll on all of us and it was good to just be with them. This morning we spent some time painting Teagan’s new room. Then this afternoon we went to the Georgetown Square lighting complete with carolers, music, santa & lights. We decided to do a quick photoshoot with the kids in Georgetown before heading to the festivities. I’m not gonna lie. The idea of photographing my three children together….with full force PCS (Photographer Child Syndrome)….well….it makes me feel kind of like this:

a becky | austin baby photographer

That’s what Teagan calls her….”a becky”. She’s been helping me with the kids for the last two weeks and she has been a lifesaver. I’m getting proofs out, orders processed, packages shipped….on time! She’s been so great with the kids, they absolutely love her, and I’m so thankful for her help. She has a ton of nanny experience and some very lucky family is going to grab her soon (if you are looking for a nanny and want her info, email me!). Today was her last day with us and I took a few photos of Miss Camy this afternoon before they left.

I think we’ll call this one cheeky chins…..

a mini share & special offer | leander family photographer

Peeking my head out quickly from the mound of work surrounding me. It’s crunch time. I packaged up 7 orders last night, have another round going in to the lab today and hopefully a large delivery from the lab on my doorstep soon. I’ll be working like a mad woman all day today and then I’ll take a few days off to sit around and be thankful for my family and all of our blessings.

I tried this year to stay on top of blogging all my holiday sessions, really, I did! I’m really behind despite good intentions though. I grabbed a quick little mini to come share….more of Miss Ava. I love this mini session, the light was just so […]

the mommas

You know what I love about this time of year? Moms. Moms come out of hiding. They haul their butts from behind their own camera and they get in the photo. They show me how much they love their kids. Like, love them so much they just can’t hold it all in kind of love. And they share it with me. And let me capture that. And I love it.
