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 … Continue reading My Monday {1:52}
Parma Family {Sweet Moments} |Austin Family Photographer
When Allyson and I started chatting about their family session, we were both on the same page about the 'what' to capture. The Parma's are big on breakfast making, as it's an all-hands-on-deck family affair. Allyson's vision was to capture the true story of their typical day - love and laugher, pajamas and bedhead, and … Continue reading Parma Family {Sweet Moments} |Austin Family Photographer
The Swearingen Family | Austin Texas Family Photographer
Yikes! It's been a bit since I blogged! This time of year is crazy for me - how about you? Between the end of year festivities (kids, family and friends), planning, shopping (or planning to shop), goal making, you then add in the catching up on work and sleep (in that order, by the way) … Continue reading The Swearingen Family | Austin Texas Family Photographer
Ekrot Family | Austin Family Photographer
As I sat down to blog about this session, it hit me that I have known these three amazing people for a bit over ten years. A decade. Pam and I met in late summer of 2007 at our local Moms Club meeting. She was the President, I was expecting our second son, and my … Continue reading Ekrot Family | Austin Family Photographer
Courtney Family | Austin Texas Family Photographer
As a parent, I know all too well the days of childhood are fleeting. The days, when we are in the thick of it may feel endless. Having a family session, in any season (of life and/or the actual calendar year) can feel overwhelming - it's one more thing to add to the laundry list. … Continue reading Courtney Family | Austin Texas Family Photographer
Hight Family | Austin Texas Family Photographer
This lovely mom and I met a few years ago at a birthday party (at one of those hoppy houses that make any breathing mammal have an anxiety attack... No? Just me then?) We had a few mutual friends and the 'you two should meet, you both have 4 kids' introduction was made. Let me … Continue reading Hight Family | Austin Texas Family Photographer
Leeper Family | Austin Texas Family Photographer
It may sounds totally cheesy but it's true - my session with the Leeper Family was easy, like a Sunday Morning... even if we did shoot on a Sunday evening. This adorable family of 4 were naturals in front of the camera. Their joy and family connection is so genuine; I love how they truly … Continue reading Leeper Family | Austin Texas Family Photographer
Holguin Family | Austin Family Photographer
It's have been so lucky to work with this family since before my business was really open! Lissa was one of the Assistant Directors at the preschool my boys have all attended, and where I had taught off and on. Watching their three kiddos grow up has been a gift - at our first session … Continue reading Holguin Family | Austin Family Photographer
Barnes | Austin Texas Family Photographer
A fellow ‘boy mom’ that is a business owner and has a Pittsburgh connection?! Yes, please! I have ‘known’ Lisa for a little over a year as our boys attend the same school, so I was thrilled when I got to work with the Barnes Family. When chatting about their session, I instantly felt Lisa … Continue reading Barnes | Austin Texas Family Photographer
Rubenstein | Austin Texas Family Photographer
Gwen and I met days before she gave birth to their handsome son. We definitely clicked and realized we were liked minded in all the right ways - love of family, styles of parenting, and of course (the most important) all things craft related! Oh, and our deep passion for really delicious dessert food. Gwen … Continue reading Rubenstein | Austin Texas Family Photographer
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 … Continue reading Retreat. Soul Search.
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 … Continue reading The fleeting days
