What do I wear for my Senior Session? Senior Guy Wardrobe Edition

As an Austin senior portrait photographer, questions about wardrobe are always at the forefront of our conversations. I get it! As a clothes wearing person, I too understand the anxiety and stress that simply picking out clothing can cause.

In home newborn sessions with a toddler

Toddlers are awesome and a bundle of energy that can explode, or implode, at anytime. They have no cares and no reservations. That said, they are also so tender, sweet, and want to show you all their special lovies, including "their" new baby.

My Monday {1:52}

Monday, you sure do get a bad rap.  Let's be honest, you're not really the most ideal day of the week.  The first day back from a weekend.  The first day that many of us have to be 'on' and 'ready' and 'caffeinated.'  And you are waaaay too close to Friday for my liking (and Friday …

Retreat. Soul Search.

Earlier this month, I was blessed to attend the highly coveted Blair + Thurston Retreat  that was being held on Bainbridge Island (swoon!).  To say I was craving this retreat is an understatement.  I needed it - I felt it in my heart, soul, and bones that THIS was what I needed.  A few days …

The fleeting days

With the oldest boys in school full time - a reality I still struggle to face - I am blessed to spend a few great hours with our youngest.  My baby.  The baby.  Who by the way is NOT a baby.  We always thought our third was the strongest willed child we'd have (still affectionally …
