You may remember seeing this little cutie on my blog before when we took her newborn and 6 month portraits.  Adelaide was sweet enough to come in to model some hats and scarfs made by the staff and customers of Gauge Knits for me.  We weren’t sure she’d keep the hats on long enough to get any good shots, but were pleasantly surprised when she started hamming it up for the camera.  Apparently this little lady likes fashion!

Alex is a high school senior at Regents School of Austin and will be graduating this spring.  She plays golf at Regents and has just been awarded a scholarship to SMU to continue playing golf in college.  Congrats Alex!

We took Alex’s senior pictures out by Bull Creek here in Austin.  Our portrait session was just perfect.  Alex was fun to work with and a gorgeous model, we had perfect weather amidst a bunch of cold rainy days, and we got some great portraits for her!  Oh, and did I mention how cool her boots are?

I had the pleasure of photographing the Bourgeois family just a few weeks back on the grounds of the Long Center.  I felt very fortunate to have both gorgeous weather and a gorgeous family to work with!

I always really enjoy photographing extended family portraits.  It’s so fun to see the family dynamic when all of the generations come together.  Each family is so unique and yet there is that same something special that brings and keeps them together.

Don’t forget to celebrate your family this holiday season!

I know I always say this, but I just love having the opportunity to work with my wedding clients again and see them change and grow into a family.  It’s just so much fun to see these tiny little people that are a perfect meld of such a beautiful couple.

I had the pleasure of photographing Stephen and Meghan’s wedding just a few years back and now I’m getting to meet their precious little Charlotte.  She’s just a little over a week old in these newborn portraits and is just as cute as can be!  She slept through most of our portrait session, but still managed to give us a few smiles and some seriously cute stares. 

Shooting Amanda’s graduation portraits was so much fun!  Amanda is gorgeous and full of grace, which always makes my job that much easier.  Also, I always love shooting on campus and seeing how much it’s changed since I went to school there.

Amanda is finishing up her senior year at the University of Texas School of Nursing and is graduating this December with a Bachelors of Science in Nursing.  Her whole family came along to our session and is clearly very proud of her.  Congrats Amanda!

The Pumpkin Portrait Days in the studio were tons of fun!   These are a couple of my favorite portraits from the event.  What cuties!

The Mehrotra family was such a joy to work with.  I really can’t remember ever dealing with such amazingly well behaved toddlers! And they are insanely sweet and cute to boot!

We decided to photograph the Mehrotra family portrait at their home in Georgetown.  We wanted something a little more personal that really spoke to who they are as a family right now.  The kids were “right at home” and didn’t mind hamming it up for the camera even though it was crazy early in the morning.  The session went really well and we captured some great images that I know they’ll cherish for many many years.

It’s always so fun to get to see a family grow and change over the years.  I first met Ashley and Clay over three years ago when we took their first maternity portraits.  I have since had the pleasure of meeting little Kate and now sweet little Grace.  And what a beautiful family they make!

Alba and Mark just tied the knot last month at the beautiful Zilker Botanical Gardens in Austin, TX.  I’ve actually known Alba since we were just 19 years old, so it was a true honor when she asked me to be their wedding photographer.   It was also lots of fun to see all the familiar faces from college there!  The ceremony in the gardens was short and sweet and was followed by a really fun reception with really great music (no surprise there considering their love for music).  Alba and Mark make such a lovely couple and I wish them many years of happiness together!
