the scarlet letters

November 20, 2011

This fun (she teaches Zumba!) family is obviously beautiful and photogenic!  I love how the son looks like dad and the daughter looks like mom!  We explored South Congress in downtown Austin, and enjoyed the view of the city.  I also got to take their pictures against one of my favorite walls on South Congress.  Don’t you love those scarlet letters?  😉

family ‘ties’

November 7, 2011

This handsome little fella was the center of attention yesterday!  Doting on him were his grandparents and mommy and daddy!  How can they resist this little cutie?  That tie, those eyes, that hat, these kisses…

With the help of a tickle monster (mom), I got some pretty cute shots of some beautiful kids!

When I asked big brother and big sister to kiss their baby brother, this is what happened…

oops

Tired of us trying to wrangle his little brother so I can take the picture…

this is taking too long…
adorable

I photographed 3 year birthday portraits for this little darling who was wearing the most adorable outfit!  She was head to toe CUTE!  It was easy to feel inspired by the season…and the girl…both of which might be named the same thing!  😉

I see my name!!!
she surprised us by being able to lift this big pumpkin up!
hidden message in this one?  horns down!  😉
I just love the way she is holding the pumpkin!
I’m this many!
throwing hay is always fun!
love the light

my pumpkins!

October 11, 2011

We made our annual trip to the pumpkin patch on Monday morning!  I love pictures at the Elgin Christmas tree farm.  There is something about old tractors, hay,  and pumpkins that just make me want to stylize a photo in a vintage, rustic way!  Enjoy!

big smile!

October 1, 2011

The baby girl I photographed today had the biggest smile I’ve ever seen!  She never shed a tear, and happily smiled away this morning, (using her tongue as a prop)!  As for the red-haired cutie, well he wasn’t too fond of my camera, but I think I caught some smiles anyway!

wheeeeeeeeee
love reflections
I see me!
Even though you can’t see her smile, you can still see that tongue!

he was definitely hiding from me

all in the family

September 4, 2011

What a blessing to be able to have your whole extended family live in the same city!  This family is dear to my heart because they’re my brother’s in-laws!

Ten white shirts and jeans, four families, three grandsons, and one beautiful park later, I present to you some of my favorite from the shoot.

My nephew was done with this pose and acted super sad as he got up…love the family grasping for him to come back!
My nephew was also done with this pose and refused to put his hand in…may have inherited my family’s side of stubborness!

I took my sweet nephew’s two year portraits this morning!  I thought sticking him in holes would help him hold poses and not run away! It almost worked! 😉 Fortunately, we had some more arsenal. I brought out my bubbles, and mommy brought out the cars!

stuck…
not anymore!!!

nah nah nah nah nah!
