The "C" Family {Austin, TX Family Photographer}

 Sometimes I go away from a session hoping I got at least a few good ones, because after chasing kids around who don't want to sit still, it's hard to know what you got--but I actually had a hard time choosing which pictures to post here--they all turned out so good! :) Thanks, "C" family! It was great spending the morning with you! (And special thanks to Auntie for tagging along to help with smiles!) :)

The "M" Family: Lifestyle Shoot

After throwing around a few ideas, Mom and I decided that it would be fun to do a picnic session for their shoot this year. It was a good thing, because little "A" wanted nothing to do with getting pictures done and it was super windy, so we got several cute candid's during the picnic and afterwards at the park. It was different than what I usually do, but in a good way! Enjoy! :)

The "S" Family: Part 2

This family was an absolute DREAM to work with. The kids were all smiles and made my job very easy. I'm a little late with getting their preview up, but didn't want to wait any longer to share their gorgeous smiles with you all. :)

"S" Family, Part 1 {Austin, TX Family Photographer}

I've photographed this family a few times over the past year, and each time they are such a joy to work with! They always look great, have wonderful smiles and lots of love for each other. This year, Mom found a new location that I had never shot at before and it was a big hit. I loved it and will definitely be using it again in the future. Enjoy your sneak peek, "S" family--and sorry it took so long!

 Because of the sun and shadows, we weren't able to use this old truck as much as I would have liked--but I do like how this one came out! :)

After this session, I shot another session with more family members and then did extended family pictures of everyone. Those coming soon!

1 Year Anniversary {Austin, TX Couple's Photographer}

Issac and Lexi wanted pictures to celebrate their 1 year anniversary, which I think is so sweet! We had a great time during our session in downtown Austin. Congratulations, you guys--enjoy your sneak peek! :)

 Not my usual editing style, but definitely in my top 2 from this session!

I Heart Faces~ "Hands"

My grandparents traveled all the way from Upstate, New York, to Texas to visit us this past week. Our family is very close and it has been so much fun having them around for a few days, getting to know my kids better, cooking Italian food, sightseeing and laughing a lot. They've been married for 56 years--something I hope that I will have the honor of saying someday!

Anniversary Session {Austin, TX Engagement Photographer}

This session was hubby's 11th anniversary present to his wife. Isn't that so sweet?  We had a fun night, despite the awful humidity--but what is Austin in September without humidity?! I always enjoy shooting in new locations and we found several that I really enjoyed! Congratulations on 11 years together, Nathan and Cassie. :)
