the Richardson kids
Same field, same fog, same type of friendships-(lifelong!) as the Suhs! These cute kids are all best friends with my three! Love me some Richardsons! Click here to see last year’s pictures of them! 🙂

the hamlin family
I love this family! Mom is an amazing 3rd grade teacher at my kid’s school, and her daughter has been in Ella’s class the past 2 years. They are such a warm family, which made it easier, since it was 40 degrees outside when we shot these! 😉


Papa and Mimaw!

father daughter love!









Merry Christmas!

the Collins family
Love these friends and neighbors of mine! Such a joy to photograph this family who is beautiful, inside and out.



















You know the photo shoot is done when sister gives her brothers this look!

Okay, okay, no more pictures! Promise baby! 🙂
the medrano family
I can hardly believe that I’ve been “in business” long enough to take this sweet family’s 3rd set of family portraits! Mom picked a beautiful spot below the Pennybacker bridge in Austin, one of the city’s prettiest landmarks! This was my first time to take photos there, and I must say I hope to go back!

6 months old!
Perhaps this little lady prefers diamonds over pearls? 🙂



Ah, that’s better, snuggles from mama!












This is the family’s 4th photo shoot with me in the last year. To see the others, click here.
expecting Elijah
It was a gorgeous first day of fall yesterday, and I couldn’t be happier than to spend it outside taking pictures of a sweet *growing* family! I took pictures of this family last fall, and now they are expecting a baby boy! And ya know I am partial to families with 2 girls and a boy! 😉
Let me introduce you to the star of the show!












her “son”shine
There is something so beautiful about the mother/son bond…I love how these pictures capture glimpses of their love for each other!







tickle time!






the Zuo family
These sweet parents had a beautiful 10 month old girl who was already walking, eating rocks, and loving to be upside down! Bonus: the baby’s grandpa was my daughter’s 3rd grade teacher, and he came along for the “ride”! 🙂






grandpa and grandma!
