I want to live.

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 […]

It never fails to shock me when I walk through a front door and greet a happy, chubby 3 month old, when just the other day that same baby was an itty bitty brand new little bundle. I know I probably gushed over her a little too much, I just couldn’t help myself. Miss Joan is such a happy girl. And I absolutely LOVE that if you tell her she’s pretty, she smiles at you!

I met up with a cute little couple tonight in Cedar Park to catch a few maternity shots before their new baby arrives. Can you even believe how gorgeous she is?! I can’t wait to meet their new little one in just a few weeks…..

Michele and I went downtown tonight to photograph the winner of our Helping Hearts for Haiti session. Michele called the night magic and boy is she right. These night sessions are truly something special, I think I am getting addicted them. Seriously, there is just something so challenging, so creative, so romantic about being out with a couple in love after dark that I absolutely love. And these two showed up ready for anything!! Aren’t they adorable?!

And I have to give a HUGE thank you to my wonderful clients and owners of Blu who allowed us to raid their amazing venue for awhile tonight. If you’re in Austin and you’ve […]

I coerced my dear friend Michele into doing a session at night awhile back. She and I found babysitters, got all dolled up and took our hubbies out on the town. It was so much fun for Jase and I to go do something just for us, to get dressed up, and have a real meal without cutting up little pieces, to go cuddle in the dark and be together for while. We had a blast and the end result just has my heart jumping for joy. Photos of me and Jase, with the focus on us (NOT the kids)….just us. Love that.

You can see her […]

When I went to UT a few weeks ago to photograph Timmy and his family we had a ton of fun out on the field. At one point as we were moving about, Timmy grabbed my hand, looked up at me and said “Where’s the BAND?!” Totally made me smile.

And this photo, I’m pretty sure it is the only one Timmy cared about that day. As we were taking shots on the 50 yard line, a helicopter flew over us. Like most 6 year old little boys, Timmy loves helicopters and he quickly pointed and told me to take a photo of it. I swirled around, not ready. He ran over and said “Let me see! Let me see!” […]
