Idaho meets Austin
My oldest and dearest friend came to Austin with her husband to visit me from Idaho! We have known each other for almost 30 years! She really liked the park photos that I have put up in the last months, and wanted to see the beautiful area for herself! The peacocks showed up to give them a proper friendly Texas greeting!

goldilocks and peacocks
This sweet, almost-8-year-old goldilocks had plenty of peacocks to take pictures next to at Mayfield park! She is so pretty, the peacocks just naturally flock to her. 😉

we’ve got spirit!
I went to South Congress this morning to take pictures of another beautiful family! Can you imagine being the lone boy in a family with 5 females? 😉
This family has lots of spirit and spunk, with three cheerleaders (so far) among the bunch!
And these kids sure love their mama!

spring beauty
Mayfield Park is the place to take photos in the spring! The peacocks are strutting, lily pads have blossomed, and the greenery is lush! Add in a beautiful family, and it definitely is the perfect spot for family portraits! (Especially if you appreciate gardening the way this family does!) Enjoy!

ponds and pop warner
It was only fitting that these fab four are wearing blue. Their family is the heart of the Manor Falcons Pop Warner football and cheer teams. So thankful for all this mama does for my daughter’s school and cheer league. I was more than happy to capture her beautiful children at Mayfield Park.

boys and their toys
I’m pretty sure there is one or two future NFL and/or NBA stars in these pictures…seriously, these boys play it all and they are GOOD at every sport they play!
I ventured down to South Congress to take some photographs of my neighbors. It was fun to be a little creative with all their sports equipment! And they were good sports (no pun intended)!

Easter
In order to be less stressed on Easter morning, I decided to take my kid’s photos with their new Easter clothes on a few days before the big day. (And I say big, because it’s Asher’s birthday too-LOTS of celebrating!!)
