Need A Laugh?

My hairdresser's over at my house and he always turns me on to funny stuff on the internet...some I can pass along and some I can't. Check out this funny little video...I totally cracked up watching this! Shake it like it's hot! Ha! :)

The Busy Season Is Here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I photographed Bali and Dylan last Friday night in Cedar Park. We just hopped in the car and drove around until we found some interesting stuff. You'd never believe that the silver grain tower is in a small business park but it worked so cute with their outfits. Then, we picked another spot for when they wore their birthday shirts...a colorful spot. I had brought a couple of my tires along so we were on a mission for a nice bright building...and we found an awesome blue tire shop! It was such a cute shoot and I love the birthday shirts. Their mom found them on ETSY for a very reasonable price. Check it peeps!

The Sizzlin' Sandahls

I met the Sandahl family down at Landa Park in New Braunfels a few weeks ago. I can't believe I've lived in Austin for almost 15 years and had never been to this park. It's loaded with beautiful, huge trees, a pool, a lake, paddleboats, a train and lots of places to picnic, too. It made for a great setting to shoot and a great place to take your family for a day get away. They had their daughter all decked out in her too cute Christmas tutu...loved it! Check out how cute their photos are. You'll see why I named this "The Sizzlin' Sandahls." :)

Chillin' At The Park

I met this family a few weeks ago at a little pocket park in their neighborhood. It was surrounded by lots of green, foresty paths and I think poison ivy. I ended up with itchy, itchy legs after this shoot. What was I thinking sporting my shorts and flip flops to a shoot and then kneeling down with my bare legs in a forest filled with ferocious foliage? After all these years...you'd think I'd learn.
I had a great time with this family and I love all the happy shots we got of them playing and laughing together. There was some fun with the cheerios where they were acting like pirates and the cheerio was their eye patch...can I get an Aaaaargh?!!! It was about to be little bit's birthday in a few days so we took a 1st birthday shot of her with the hat on. :)

Maria's & Margaritas!

I met the Villareals last week at one of my favorite spots to shoot...Maria's Taco Express and was happy to find that Kelli (the mom) was already inside getting herself a margarita for the shoot. I'm all for the parents relaxin' a bit before the shoot starts plus it was happy hour...the price was right! :) We had a good time working our way around the restaurant and checking out all the latest and greatest additions to the place. Families are always asking what they should wear to their shoot and to me this family is a great example of coordinating outfits but not too "matchy matchy". Take note people!
