this is bad. i’m not ready. i just want to scream nooooooooo from the rooftop.

taryn was on the back porch, blowing bubbles. when teagan got done with his snack, he ran over to the back door and started to yell at her. of course hoping she’d let him out (not a chance, she likes to torture him like that). i thought he looked cute standing there, so i grabbed my camera off the shelf nearby…

when all of a sudden…

no no no

i’m not ready for this little dude. i enjoy keeping you out of […]

10 on Tuesday | Austin Photographer

1. I caught this the other day when I arrived at this location a little early.

2. This is amazing. Anne shared this with me and it says so much. He articulates so much about how I feel about photography. Seeing not just the light, but the light in people. Finding yourself in your work, recognizing your vision, being open, seeing and embracing what is around you instead of trying to make it perfect, giving of yourself and celebrating what is right. It’s 20 minutes long, but by far the best 20 minutes I’ve spent on the web in quite a while. Worth it.

3. I love this.

4. We’ve […]

because I never want to forget this

tonight was movie night.

cheap frozen pizzas we ate in the living room, rare for us.

freshly bathed kiddos.

sleeping bags, pillows, blankies.

a big bowl of popcorn.

we all layed on the floor in a row, all lined up to watch ‘bolt’

and one precious baby boy.

he got up and went from one person to the next.

kissing us each on the head with a loud “MWAH”.

and when he got to the end of the line, he’d go back and start at the beginning.

and do it all over again.

cutest thing ever.

I’m going to go ahead and call out my mother-in-law on this one. She was JUST telling stories about how Jason used to do this at Teagan’s age. She was wondering if Teagan had done it yet. And I said “nope”. Well, he must have been listening to her funny story because after a few too many quiet moments this morning, I went looking for my little dude….

As soon as I pulled these up on my computer I had flashbacks of this and this. Different kid, same ornery.

He’s a cute little stinker though isn’t he? I think he knows it.

I figured it out | austin family photographer

The cure for baby fever. The perfect birth control. Photographing my own family. We had plans while my mom was in town to head out for a family session and then go out to dinner. We talked to the kids about being cooperative and being well behaved. Unfortunately, the PCS was at an all time high and the Mother’s Day gift of cooperation soon turned to the gift of frustration. I can honestly say that I was on the verge of tears…..why are my kids so tough? Why is it easier to photograph clients? I’ve totally ruined them with daily “quick” and “one or two here and there” exposure to the camera. Don’t they understand that it would be easier […]

Happy Mother’s Day
