As a child, I was the consummate tomboy. So it often surprises me how much my daughter embraces anything and everything that screams, “GIRL!” Pink is good. Frilly is better. Sparkles are awesome. All three together? You have made a friend for life. One of her favorite activities is Spa Day. This was introduced when her older […]

I’m used to big babies. It seems that I am rarely around tiny babies, not even newborns. At birth, my kids were in the 8-10 lb range. And most other babies I’ve had the privilege to know and photograph are generally around 8 lbs as well. There is something so sweet and special about those little ones, this wee […]

Tis the season… for family portraits that is. As I was waiting for my session to begin this little park filled with portrait photographers. I counted no less than 6 concurrent sessions while photographing this fun group. This mom is one of the funniest women I know, she kept everyone going and happy by making […]
I was lucky enough to be able to photograph one of my favorite families in Austin at one of my favorite landmarks in Austin. What a Twofer! Generally, when making portraits, I like to set up situations and then step back and photograph things as they unfold. I love the organic energy that is found […]
Often times as a parent the only time you can squeeze in something for yourself is in the wee hours of the morning. This worked out perfectly for us for this lovely sunrise maternity session. Early morning light is some of the most beautiful light there is and dawn is such a peaceful time to […]
