Meet Riley! She's the best friend and sorority sister to Emily who is in the previous post. We had a double photo shoot day where I photographed both Riley and Emily seperately and together for a few shots. I'm going to guess that these two could also be "double trouble" when they're together. ;) What a couple of cuties! Riley arrived in her cute white dress for the Admin Building shoot then changed into an electric pink dress for the shots at the Bell Tower and wrapped up the fountain photos wearing her Aggie jersey, cut off shorts, white boots and cowgirl hat. We can't forget the HAAAAAAATTTT! I had so much fun photographing these two and am super excited to see what their future holds. I think the words of this song are perfect for a college graduate who is about to embark on a new journey...Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins The rest is still unwritten. Grab your latte and biscotti and kick back and enjoy Riley's video. P.s. I do not own the rights to this song.

Texas A&M Senior Shoot | Emily | College Station, TX
A few weeks ago, I made another trip to College Station to photograph two A&M seniors, best friends and sorority sisters Emily and Riley. We had fun hitting all the traditional "hot spot" locations that the Aggie seniors go to for their photos. First stop, was the infamous Admin Building that you have to wait in line for your turn down one of the wings. Since this wasn't my first rodeo, I knew to have Letty (Emily's mom) stand in line for us to hold our spot. There's a process within a process...man, this school really does run deep with their traditions. :) Even though there were only about 6 people in front of us in the line, it took over an hour until it was our turn. In the meantime, I was able to photograph Emily and Riley all around the stairs and grassy areas while Letty made friends in line waiting. LOL! Second stop was the Bell Tower and the last stop was where they all get to cut loose and pop champagne in THE FOUNTAIN! These shots are SO fun and scream excited about graduation! Emily had to incorporate a few photos with her adorable dog, Bentley. He's just so cute with his A&M jersey and grad cap on that I can hardly stand it! Grap a Dos XX (or two...ahem Em I'm talking to you) and some nachos and kick back and watch Em's sweet video. P.s. I do not own the rights to this song. P.s.s. For those of you who might be worried, Bently the dog did NOT drink any beer!

Austin Lifestyle Senior 2023 Shoot | Lauren | Austin High School
Oh my goodness! We were a bit stressed about the weather before this shoot. I swear I'm a full time photographer and part time meterologist...see Mom I am using my Geography degree from college! My Gigi always wanted me to be a weather woman on TV. I could've given Ginger on GMA a run for her money. :) We had been in touch a few times prior to the shoot checking the hourly weather and praying that the rain would clear. Aaaaannnnddd, at 4pm that day it was still iffy but the rain chances were only 6% so I was feeling good about that! By 6pm, it was just gorgeous out and made for a beautiful sky for the shoot. Lauren wore some light blue shorts and a vibrant blue dress for a couple of her outfits and the blue just pops off of the green grass and trees. Lauren is wrapping up her time at Austin High and moving on to Texas A & M in the fall to study really hard stuff! Haha! Not only is she beautiful but she's super smart, too. Grab an iced tea and a brownie and kick back and enjoy her video. P.s. I do not own the rights to this song.

Austin, Texas Senior 2023 Shoot | Patrick | Bowie High School
We've got ourselves another good one here...A Boy and his Truck Part 2. I headed back out to the country and made my way down that dirt road again for another senior shoot. Patrick showed up with his jeans, boots and a few cowboy hats and also wanted to make sure he got some senior photos with his pickup truck.
We walked around the property using the beautiful green pastures, broken fences and utilized all the great wood and stone textures near by. The best was when we ended the shoot down on the dirt road we made our way over by the horses. This white horse came over to say hi and once Patrick started feeding her some grass she wasn't going anywhere. If you look closely in the photos with the white horse, I'm not sure if she was posing for me with her over the shoulder look or if she was just giving me a side eye to stop taking photos. Either way, the sun was setting and the sky was a beautiful golden pink and it made for a great setting to finish up Patrick's shoot. Grab yourself a cold beverage and some cheetos and kick back and watch Patrick's video. P.s. I do not own the rights to this song.

Austin, Texas Senior Shoot | Stephen | Vista Ridge High School
These next few shoots are all about a boy and his truck so get ready. Being a small town girl myself, there's nothing more that I love than a good ol' country boy, dirt roads and pick up trucks so I was so excited to photograph these guys. Stephen pulled up the dirt road ever so slowly in his freshly washed and shined red pickup truck in hopes to keep it clean through those few mud puddles that he had to pass through. Once him and his mom arrived, we went over his wardrobe which consisted of 3 different pearl snap shirts (yeehaw!) and made our photo shoot game plan. The rustic wood building, open fields with broken fence posts and old oak trees dotting the property made for a great backdrop for his senior shoot. After the sun started to settle down, he pulled his truck down the dirt road and parked it just where you could see the horses eating grass in the background. Stephen has worked very hard on fixing up this truck, put alot of blood, sweat and tears into and is very proud of all his hard work (as he should be!). It was the perfect prop to use in his senior photos and he'll always be able to look back on these photos to cherish this time in his life. Grab yourself a beverage and kick back and enjoy Stephen's video. P.s. I do not own the rights to this song.

Austin High School Senior 2023 Shoot | Brady | Bowie High School
I'm rockin' and rollin' over here at BNP photographing all these great high school seniors that are about to graduate! These guys are showing up with the best attitude and are so photogenic. Brady did not disappoint, either. We met downtown at Butler Park and utilized all the great pockets of the park for his senior photos. We ended on the Lamar Street Bridge with all the after work walkers and joggers passing by. These ended up being my fav...where he has his Razorbacks shirt on and the Bowie graduation gown thrown on loosely over his clothes and he topped it off with his Salt Lick ball cap and the Austin skyline in the background. They just make for some great senior photos. One day, he'll look back on these and be amazed at how much that Austin skyline has changed since 2023! Grab an ice cold beverage and snack and kick back and watch Brady's video.

Spring, TX High School Senior Shoot | Brendan | Klein Collins High School
Every once in awhile, I get asked to travel for photography. I absolutely love to! In this case, it happens to be one of my best friends that I grew up with back in Missouri and we've known each other since we were 4 years old! Her family lives in Spring now so it's great that we're so close and can pop over in a few hours and see each other. Stephanie's son, Brendan is graduating from Klein Collins and is headed to Texas A & M in the fall for college. He's following in his sister's footsteps and keeping Aggies in the family. I roadtripped over on St. Patty's Day weekend and that drive on 290 was actually amazing (for once) with all the wildflowers and fields of bluebonnets along the roadside. Unfortunately, I didn't stop for the wildflowers since I was hustling to get to Spring so we could knock out Brendan's senior photos that day. For his shoot, we ended up going to a near by park that is really pretty with lots of ducks, trees and a few ponds. Afterwards, we swung by his high school to get a few shots there. The front of his high school totally reminds me of one that you'd see in a teenie bopper movie. To wrap up the shoot, we had Brendan do a farewell to high school jump off the ledge in front of his high school...ya know to show his enthusiasm about graduating...you'll have to watch the video until the end to see what sort of air that boy caught! Grab a hot tea and ginger snaps and kick back and take in Brendan's shoot. P.s. I do not own the rights to this song.

ATX High School Senior Shoot | Emma | Bowie High School
Oh my goodness! Emma was down for an adventure for her senior shoot! We faired the CRAZY INSANE SXSW and spring break crowds on South Congress and conquered her senior shoot with hundreds of visitors and tourists around. What a trooper she was. Emma owned it, had fun and her confidence shines through on these photos. And, I have to say that people were really good about waiting for us to finish a shot if we were taking over the sidewalk or shooting in the street. The great thing was there was this vibrant energy on the street so I think it added a dash of zing to the experience. Emma loves color and wanted that Austin vibe that South Congress has to offer. We struck gold when @Home Slice actually had their red photo booth VW bus down there and the guy working the booth allowed us to have some fun with it as a prop. Thank you Home Slice! Emma brought these lime green heels that were her pop of color with her jeans and white shirt and they went perfectly with the giant sunglasses that rest towards the south end of South Congress. Love how playful these shots turned out! Her fall plans include staying in the city and attending UT this fall. Grab a bubbly diet Coke and a slice of Pizza (having a total craving now since I've been talking about Home Slice) and kick back and watch Emma's journey down SOCO.

ATX High School Senior Shoot 2023 | Madeline | Bowie High School
I met Madeline and her family in downtown Austin at the start of SXSW in hopes that it wouldn't be too crazy in the location that we were shooting her senior photos. We lucked out with absolutely gorgeous weather and only a handful of people at the park where we met. I loved that the family all showed up in their various Texas college t-shirts and we grabbed a few shots of the family first. Mom went to University of Texas, Dad went to Stephen F. Austin, Brother currently goes to TX State and Madeline is heading to Texas A & M! Once we finished a few shots of the family we concentrated on Madeline and moved about the park using some great textures and colors. Along with her college t-shirt she brought a cute and feminine white dress and a sporty black dress with her sneakers to change into. They were perfect with the park's greenery, concrete stairs and city backgrounds. Madeline knocked it out of the park (no pun intended) during her photoshoot and we captured some really beautiful images of her. Grab your cup of hot tea and a yummy snack and kick back and watch her sweet video. P.s. I do not own the rights to this song.

High School Senior Shoot 2023 | Drue | Bowie High School
Downtown Austin was a buzz as everyone prepared for SXSW but that didn't stop us from photographing Drue's senior photos. We managed to find an empty alley way and utilized the old brick walls to give that masculine, urban look. Then, we wandered around Congress Avenue utilizing some of Austin's best signs at the State Theater and Paramount. With all the activity happening in the background, it really makes Drue's photos come alive. We finished off the shoot with a few snap shots in the middle of Congress Avenue taking advantage of the Capitol in the background. Grab yourself a latte and yummy bagel and kick back and enjoy Drue's video.

High School Senior 2023 Shoot | Avery | Bowie High School Austin,TX
We had the most beautiful spring day in Austin, TX on the day we photographed Avery. It just doesn't get any better than that when the sun is shining, not a cloud in the sky, the temperature was perfect and the wind was minimal. Avery brought the cutest outfits but she had one dress that was especially made for her by her best friend and that was the white dress with the big bow. How special is that? She looked absolutely gorgeous in it. She's headed to Texas A&M this fall and brought her acceptance sign to use in a few photos. These shots always make a fun addition to use on the senior graduation cards. Of course, the blue flowy dress shots of her being playful are some of my favorite shots. Which shots are your favorite? Grab your coffee and kick back and take a look at Avery's video.

High School Senior Shoot | ASA | Regents High School
I have been photographing Asa since he was just a tiny nugget in preschool at Noah's Ark Mom's Day Out Program. I'm still a bit in shock that he could even be a senior in high school right now. How can this be and where oh where has the time gone? I couldn't even believe it when his mom reached out and said we needed to do Asa's senior photos soon. Asa showed up dressed in his sleek, brown suit accented with a purple tie and hankie and I was 100% excited to get these photos done when I saw his outfit. He knocked it out of the ball park especially on the bridge when he put his shades on...it was like the inner supermodel came out. The icing on the cake was when we attempted to take a few photos in Trader Joe's and immediately got in trouble by the manager. We're such rebels. We managed to get a few artsy shots in the store which is exactly what Asa wanted. Grab a fizzy drink and a cookie and kick back and watch Asa's video.

Lifestyle Family Shoot | The Glass Family | Sekrit Theater
I had a super fun shoot with the Glass family right before Christmas. It was their first professional photo shoot and it was a surprise family present from Gabi (mom). It was most important to her that the girls have a fun experience and wanted zero stress. We booked our date @Sekrit Theater and prayed for good weather in mid-December! Not only did we have a little fun with dad dancing with his girls and dipping his wife with his daughters giggling as they watched their parents, we had karate kicks, pirouttes and pushing dad on a bike but we also had a visit from the Sekrit Theater CAT who took a big liking to the girls! This kitty cat could NOT get enough of these girls. She kept appearing in all of our photos as we moved around the property. The family loved it and continued to embrace the experience and give kitty lots of love. It was a Lovely Day. Grab a peppermint mocha and a honey bun and kick back and enjoy the Glass family music video.

High School Senior 2023 Shoot | Dash | Austin, Texas
I had the opportunity to photograph Dash for his senior photo shoot and was tickled pink that he showed up ready to be photographed. He looked stylish in his white button down, black suspenders and grey checkered pants which fit right in with our urban setting downtown. He moved naturally in front of the camera which makes my job super fun. We wandered around a few blocks downtown grabbing shots from various locations. Grab an iced coffee and a snack and kick back and watch Dash's video.

Event Photography | Dale's 80th Birthday Party | Austin, Texas
I had the pleasure of documenting one of my favorite client's 80th birthday party last week. Dale's family and friends threw him one heck of a party and celebrated the evening with yummy food, drinks and live music. There was lots of laughter, visiting, chatting, a few tears and did I mention lots of laughter? Grab a drink and snack and kick back and watch Dale's birthday video.

Siblings Shoot | The McEwans | Circle C Park
I think this may be my 5th or 6th time photographing the McEwan siblings and these kids are just the best. Every year, they show up, work their best angles and work together to get great photos for the holiday card. This year was no different. It was fun to add Cam's girlfriend into the mix and get some candid shots. Of course, I love the quilt photos of them laying down with their cute facial expressions. Even though it was a super cloudy day with a tad of mist in the air, little Meg's eyes were watering from having to look up to the sky so make sure to watch the video until the end. I couldn't resist putting in a cute blooper shot of her at the end of the video. :) Grab your peppermint mocha and kick back, turn up the volume and enjoy the McEwans masterpiece.

Family Photo Shoot | The Sandahls & Nelsons | Buda, Texas
The day I photographed the Sandahls, it was a drizzly, overcast day but that didn't stop this family from completing their family photo shoot and having fun while doing it. The week of Thanksgiving is always busy but it's also a great time to get those family photos done since far away family members usually travel home for the holiday. We utilized the beautiful fall oak trees in the front yard and their cute turquoise camper for a fun backdrop. There was laughter, smiles and tummys exposed. I'm proud to report there weren't any tears. All the grandkids piled themselves on Grandma & Grandpa's laps and snuggled up for their photos happily. Since they were about to celebrate their Thanksgiving meal together, I thought the song Family Table by Zac Brown Band fit perfectly. The chorus says...
So won't you come on in, supper's almost done
Go ahead and call your friends
'Cause we got room for everyone
Let's make some memories 'round this nine foot pine
Pull up a chair and stay a while
At the family table
Family table
So, grab a hot cider and cookie, kick back, turn it up and watch the Sandahl's video.

Dusin & Robin Wedding | Austin, Texas | Life Austin Chapel
I had the great opportunity to photograph Dustin and Robin's wedding on a gorgeous, sunny Friday afternoon at the end of October in Austin. The day could not have been more perfect. They chose @LifeAustinChapel to have their ceremony and it is a beautiful chapel that sits on the edge of the hill country. The chapel sits on a large piece of land that is dotted with lots of oak trees and whispy, golden grass. Upon arrival, I snuck into the bridal suite to get some shots of the girls getting ready curling their hair and doing finishing touches to their makeup. All was calm and bright which is always a good sign. I dashed over to the groom's suite to get Dustin putting his finishing touches on with bow tie shots and the guys attempting to put the Boutonnières on which was very cute. The ceremony ran seamlessly and was really beautiful. After the ceremony, we photographed the families together and then had to do a few of Dustin and Robin alone outside with that fall hill country scenery. Their love shines through on all the photos and I love photographing love! After we finished the photos, it was time to get the party started so we headed to the reception @Eberly. Everyone turned it up a notch at the reception and the fun was had by all! The room was filled with friends, family, laughter, dancing and drinking. A perfect ending to a perfect day.

I've been photographing these little nuggets since practically their birth. They have grown into such beautiful, sweet teenagers and I love photographing them every year. The name and age tshirts have become a tradition and we joke about at what year they'll out grow them but not this year! This year I love how the red, black and white tshirts pop off of the black and white mural down at Seaholm and mixed right in with the giant red and white picnic table down there, too. After they changed into their dressier outfits, you know we had to utilize the mini 360 bridge at sunset! It's definitely a challenge to get that shot on a Saturday late afternoon in November. There was a line for all the families doing fall photos to be photographed. Grab your glass of vino and snack and kick back and watch Bali and Dylan's music video.

Blake + Karissa | Austin TX Surprise Wedding Proposal | Lou Neff Point
Oh my goodness! This was so exciting to be a part of! Blake and I worked out all the details before hand to try and make this proposal perfect for Karissa. I felt like an under cover agent working on a top secret project with this surprise proposal. Originally, he had wanted to propose to her at Zilker Park because that is where they first told each other that they loved each other (cue the kleenex). Unfortunately, ACL threw a kink in our plan and Zilker Park was still fenced off from all the concert festivities so he made a plan B to do it at Lou Neff Point. Lou Neff Point is where Ladybird Lake and Barton Springs meet and there's a nice look out with an amazing view of the city. We met earlier in the week to work out our parking situation (thank you @Chuy's) and time the walk over to the point! On the day of, I arrived earlier and got situated in my hidden spot behind an electric pole and apparently some poison ivy, too. Eek. I made sure to clear the people out of the area a few minutes before they arrived. I didn't want anything to spoil this proposal. I moved about 6-8 people out of the way...crackin' that whip! I think they all went and sat up above to view the whole thing. :)) Blake and Karissa arrived right on time and as they walked over Blake gave me a side eye to check to make sure I was ready. Karissa had no idea and he took her over to the spot with the perfect view of Austin behind them and proceeded to pour his heart out and get down on one knee. It was SO exciting especially when Karissa said yes. All the strangers up above that were secretly watching the proposal happen from afar started cheering loudly when Karissa said yes. I hopped out of the bushes and moved closer to get some up close shots. So, without further adieu grab a pumpkin spiced latte and kick back and watch their sweet, sweet proposal.

Lifestyle Senior Shoot | Caden | Austin High
I photographed Caden downtown @Butler Park for his senior session and he knocked it out of the park. Haha! Pun intended. As the sun started to set, we walked over to the Lamar bridge and got some really good shots of him there. He had a little bit of a James Dean vibe happening. Kick back and check out his video.

Theyyyy'rrreee Baaaaacccckkk | The Fletchers This Year Starring Tigerhawk | Austin Lifestyle Family Photography
It's that time of year again when the kids go back to school, the leaves slowly fall from the trees, my family's start to think about their holiday cards and family photo shoots and schedule their annual photos. I love it. I'm always amazed when the kids come rolling up each year and they've grown so much since the year before. This year one of my all time favorite family's arrived and their energetic younger son, Grayson, showed up with his hair in a faux hawk and deemed himself a Tigerhawk. He gave us lots of tiger rawrs and paws through out the shoot. They always keep me on my toes! It was a lively shoot as always with this year containing a bit of dad/son wrestling on the Capitol floors to climbing trees and acting like sloths. So, you better grab yourself a frothy coffee and treat and kick back and watch this cute little video filled with loads of character. Meet The Fletchers! :)

Austin Lifestyle Family shoot | The Roberts
It was my first time photographing this beautiful family. I was referred to them by The Fletchers who is one of my most fun families to photograph so I knew right from the start that we were going to get along great. Aaaaand, they knocked it out of the ballpark. We met down at Seaholm and took advantage of the great weather and places to shoot. Their kiddos are off the chart cute and participated during the shoot like champs. I was immediately reminded how much I love 4 year olds! It was one of my most favorite stages of when my son was growing up. Their personalities and independence start shining through but they're still so small that you just want to squeeze them. Grab your glass of vino and a snack and kick back and enjoy the Roberts video.

Austin Lifestyle Family Shoot | The Ferraras | October 2022
Another beautiful fall day and another great photo shoot of Dr. Mai and her boys! I can't believe how big the boys are getting but I say that of every family that I see once a year. We shot at the trains off of 290 and once the boys started climbing on the railings then we actually got some smiles eeking out. Give the boys some stuff to climb on during a photo shoot and then suddenly they don't mind to be photographed. Grab your pumpkin spice latte and kick back and enjoy the Ferraras sweet video.

Bali | Senior 2023 | Vista Ridge High School
So, it's been a minute since I've posted anything here but the fall photo season has arrived and is in full swing. To get back in the swing of posting shoots on here, there is no better way to start than with Bali! I've been photographing this stunner since she was a wee one and she just keeps getting more gorgeous every time I see her. The shoot was filled with cute outfit changes, jewelry changes, hair and make up touch ups and lugging a black leather chair across the park to get our amazing skyline shot of her! Let's talk about her overalls...these are just the cutest things that I've ever seen! Luckily, they had just gotten picked up from the artist that day of our shoot so luck was in our favor. Apparently, they're somewhat of a homecoming tradition at Vista Ridge high school and I think I love them more than the giant Texas mums tradition! LOL! Grab a sweet treat and an iced coffee and kick back and enjoy Bali's senior video.

Lifestyle Senior Shoot | Ivan | Barton Springs Road
Oh my gosh...this shoot!!! Thank goodness Ivan was super laid back and easy going. We had planned to have his shoot along Barton Springs Road and utilize some of the fun colors and textures on a Tuesday night. All should be calm and all should be bright however who knew that they changed Blues on the Green from Wednesday night to Tuesday night?! We had a rude awakening when we arrived down there and a bazillion people are walking, biking, scootering to get over to Zilker and it was an udder mad house. I had gone a bit early and found parking in the garage but the place got busier by the time Ivan and his mom arrived so she just dropped him and went to try and find parking. This post is going to be how amazing Ivan did during his shoot and how terrible of a company ATX Towing is...please do NOT ever use this company. They are running a terrible racket. So, the shoot with Ivan goes great and he's tuning out all the cars and people walking and driving by and we got fabulous photos of him which you'll see in his video. Long story longer, Ivan's mom parked at the back of Starbucks coffee with a bunch of other vehicles, walked away from her truck for no more than 20 minutes to walk over and pick Ivan up and when they got back to her truck it was gone...towed. They assumed she was going to Blues on the Green event and wouldn't be back until 10-11pm and they towed her truck while Starbucks was still open. Total racket and the owner of the towing company was terribly rude. I took her and her son straight down to ATX Towing to pick up her truck and the owner had said to give him 15 minutes and he'd be there. He made us wait over an hour while he finished his drink/dinner hoping that we would leave that night and she'd have to pick up her truck later. Once he arrived, he shut the gate in my face and wouldn't allow me to walk in with Alma & Ivan and told me that I wasn't allowed in there. I guess he thought I had SASS written all over my face. Now, it's 10pm and he made them sit in his office and wait some more while he laughed and talked on the phone...terrible customer service, terrible man. He proceeded to charge Alma $242 for towing. The Google reviews are spot on with this racket that they have going on. I feel like this is definitely something that @KVUEnews Defenders need to investigate. Enough of my soapbox, let's get to the good stuff with Ivan's video. Grab an Eastciders and some chips and hummus and kick back and watch Ivan's video.

Aaron's Surprise 40th Birthday | Meanwhile Brewery | Austin, TX
What a fun lil' shindig documenting Aaron's 40th surprise birthday party! He was apparently on Dad duty that day while Mama went to "run errands". Secretly, a large crew were behind the scenes decorating the party room with balloons, photos, personalized koozies and kolaches shaped like a bike! When a friend conveniently called him and invited him out for an afternoon beer/playdate with the kids at a nearby brewery Aaron agreed. Thank goodness! :) When they arrived at the brewery, everyone was in place with confetti bombs in their hands. He strolled in casually pushing the baby carriage with a mile wide smile on his face. The confetti bombs spewed colorful bits and sparkle while a big "Surprise!" and laughter filled the room. I think he was pleasantly surprised to see so many of his good friends and loved ones there to celebrate him. Grab yourself a cold one and kick back, relax and enjoy the surprise.

25th Wedding Anniversary Shoot | Brendan + Summer | Sekrit Theater
Oh my goodness! Do you know what I love so so much? To see a couple SO in love after 25 years of marriage together. What a sweet treat to see a couple who respects each other, gets along, laughs together, helps each other and are still best friends. Summer and Brendan have made it through some big hurdles in life together and I loved being able to capture yet another great milestone for them ...a very happy milestone I must say. Three cheers for 25 years of marriage! We had an amazing photo shoot at the Sekrit Theater which I think was the perfect, dreamy background for this shoot. Summer wore her mom's vintage wedding dress in a few of the photos at the beginning of the shoot and then changed into her own wedding dress that she wore 25 years ago! How many people can do that?! Definitely not me! Grab a cup of hot tea and a cookie and kick back and enjoy their sweet, sweet video.

Austin Texas Senior Photos 2022 | Cami | Bowie High School
We are wrapping up the end of the senior season with a slam dunk photo shoot of Cami. She was a bit apprehensive about the photo shoot and was mainly fulfilling her mom's wish of taking senior photos but I have to say this girl is on fire! She participated in the shoot with some coaxing and then the next thing I know I felt like I had a cover model in front of me. Her big brown eyes are so expressive and she's just a natural beauty that photographs really well. Grab a bubbly Topo Chico and some cheetohs and kick back and enjoy Cami's video.

Twins Senior Photo Shoot | Chris & Sammie | Bowie High School
What a fun shoot with twins Chris and Sammie. You would never know that our photo shoot took place at Gorzycki Middle School. We utilized the beautiful green trees, white flowers and wooden fence with a blurred out chicken coop in the background. Who would've thought? They have both knocked it out of the park with their high school career and now it's off to Baylor in the fall for college. I put the song "Glory Days" in their music video and thought the lyrics were perfect. Not only did they get to experience their high school years together but now they get to experience their college years together, too. The glory days and memories will continue on for these siblings. Grab a beverage and yummy snack and sit back and relax and check out Chris and Sammie's video.

Lifestyle Senior Shoot 2022 | Addie | Bowie High School
Oh what a shoot! I had a fabulous time photographing Addie. She showed up and worked every angle of the camera. I love when I have willing participants who are ready and WANT to be photographed. Pease Park didn't let us down either. The art installation with the blue trees just made for a super cool back drop and went perfect with her little blue dress! You'd think maybe we planned that or something! Grab your vino and some cheese and crackers and kick back and enjoy Addie's video.

Senior Portrait Shoot | Caroline | Bowie High School
I had a wonderful senior photo shoot with Caroline at Laguna Gloria -The Contemporary Austin a few weeks ago. She came with outfits in hand and ready to be photographed. She started the shoot in a black floral dress with a heart neckline that popped off of the greenery and European architecture. Once we moved inside to "the room" with the black and white checked floor and teal blue couch, she wore a classic white top and jeans with pearl heels that just looked so cute on her. She ended the photo shoot sporting her college tshirt where she will be attending in the fall...PRINCETON!!! How about that? I think it's pretty fabulous myself. :) Kick back, relax and check out Caroline's sweet video.

Lifestyle Senior Shoot | Luke | Bowie High School
Had so much fun shooting this one! Luke was a true trooper and went along for the ride. His mom and I thought it would be fun to highlight the things that he loves in his senior shoot and that includes working at Alamo Drafthouse and playing video games. I thought it would be fun to shoot his photos in a vintage arcade but we all know the lighting would be dark so we opted for the carnival instead and the light was gorgeous! :) Luke has moved 10 times in his 12 years of school because his dad is in the military so we gotta hand it to this kid for walking into Bowie High School as a new student his senior year and he said this is probably his favorite move out of all of them. With a positive attitude like that he's going to definitely hit green lights all the way! Kick back and grab a bologne sandwich and diet dew and watch Luke's video.

Texas A&M Senior 2022 Shoot | Karissa | A&M Campus College Station
I might've teared up a bit making this sweet video of Karissa. It seems like yesterday her and her mom were in Austin to do her senior photos for high school. You can see that blog post with her hs senior shoot here.
Here we are four years later and she has rocked her time at Texas A & M. Not only has she kept a 4.0 gpa her entire college career but is also Chief Madam Justice of the Campus.Not only is she smart and driven but she is also the cutest, sweetest, kindest college kid that I've ever met...sorry son, this one is giving you a run for your money.:)
Her mom and I are still trying to figure out how we created such AMAZING responsible children. LOL! If they could have only seen their mothers growing up, they'd wonder the same. I drove into College Station a few weekends ago and they gave me the full tour of A & M campus which I was super excited about because I had only been to College Station a few times to photograph crappy apartment buildings that were going up for sale. They gave me a fantastic tour of the town and we hit ALL the spots to get photographed for your senior photos on campus! I knew A & M was full of traditions but WOW I didn't realize how many traditions they have. It's pretty cool, I must admit! We had a blast the entire weekend and they even took me to Northgate and I went to The Chicken! I do believe our mission was accomplished with the completion of this photo shoot. Karissa rocked her shoot and thank goodness we didn't have near the wind that we had for her high school senior shoot! That was crazy town. I love watching our kids grow up and seeing what their future holds but it also makes me very emotional at the same time because time is screaming by. Anyway, grab yourself a snack (maybe some chicken) and a tissue and kick back and enjoy Karissa's video.

Lifestyle Senior Shoot | Madeleine | Bowie High School
Oh my goodness! I can't believe I photographed Madeleine in 7th grade when she got her braces off and now she's a SENIOR in high school graduating in a few months! Time keeps screaming right by and it seems like these kiddos are growing up overnight on me. We incorporated a tiny family shoot along with her senior photos into an all in one deal and it worked out perfectly. We met at Butler Park late in the afternoon on the Monday of spring break and holy smokes the park was packed. I really wasn't expecting it to be THAT busy but we managed to find pockets of the park that wasn't too crowded and popped off some super cute photos. I'm in love with Madeleine's white sequin dress against the white and silver cityscape. Grab yourself a mocha latte and cinnamon toast and kick back and check out their video.

Lifestyle Senior Shoot | Cassie | Austin High School
I had such a fun shoot with Cassie and her mom right after Christmas. We met downtown and bounced around to a few different spots for a little variety. Cassie loves books and is an avid reader so we wanted to incorporate part of her shoot at the library. I was super excited to shoot at the downtown library which I had never done before. They took me up to the outdoor top deck which had some great views of other nearby tall buildings with great texture and utilized some of the fun, colorful poofs and outdoor furniture out there. Cassie looked so cute and rocked her senior shoot like a natural. Kick back and take a look at her music video.

Lifestyle Senior Guy Twins Shoot | Chase & Ethan | Hyde Park High School | Downtown Austin
Sappy video alert! I need to tell you now that you might want to get your tissue ready for this one. I photographed these twin boys a few times when they were little and ended up incorporating a few of the old photos into this video. The song that I chose just gets me every time! This one goes out to Mama because I know she's been emotional about thinking about the boys leaving the nest so sorry Kristi this video might put you over the edge. :))) Years ago, I offered a mini shoot special downtown near the rail road tracks at 3rd and Bowie. I used the City of Austin smoke stacks in the background and photographed the families next to the train tracks for an awesome urban setting. Fast forward about ten years to today, as I'm parking my car downtown on 3rd Street to photograph these boys it just hit me that we were in the same place for their senior shoot as we were for their mini shoot years ago! Only now, the smoke stacks are partly covered up by tall buildings and the train tracks are blocked off by chain link fences and there's a ton of new businesses AND a zillion people around. Needless to say, it was a bit surreal seeing how much the boys have grown as well as the location where we were shooting. Grab your vanilla latte and bagel and kick back and enjoy Chase and Ethan's video. Turn the volume up and grab your tissue because you're going to need it.

Happy New Year! Cheers to 2022!
While there were a few good moments in 2021, there was plenty of moments that weighed me down and left me feeling heavy with the energy sucked out of me. Anyone else? I'm ready to put 2021 behind me and only look forward at this point. This year, I'm opening myself and my big ol' heart up to love, travel, success and bettering myself to be a better version of me! I'm not big into new years resolutions but I wrote a few intentions down and I will be working on bettering my body with more exercise, dancing and weight lifting. I'll be bettering my brain with setting a goal of getting my drone license and I'll be bettering my soul with taking more time for prayer, meditation and bible study. How about a HUGE toast...Let's open our hearts and minds and receive 2022 with a giant bear hug and let's celebrate that 2021 is behind us. What about you? Have you set any goals or intentions for the new year? I'd love to hear them, if so.

Large Lifestyle Family Photo Shoot | The Dillingers & Chandlers | Laguna Gloria
We are wrapping up the holiday season of photo shoots with a biggie! There were big celebrations to be had with this family and they wanted to make sure they had it documented and photographed. Grandma and Grandpa were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary (that day!) and their son came all the way for a visit from Tokyo for the first visit in years. Since we only had one day to do this shoot, we made a reservation at Laguna Gloria so we'd have a backup plan in case we had a bad weather day. Thank goodness we did, too! It was one rainy day. Even though Laguna Gloria double booked our room and we had to share our limited time with another family and photographer (which made for a tiny bit of extra stress) this crew was so delightful to work with they just rolled with the punches and enjoyed their time together. We buzzed through all the different group shots and of course had to have some good laughs through it all. Grab yourself a hot cocoa and a yummy Christmas cookie and kick back and check out their sweet video.

Another Sweet Sibling Shoot | The McEwans | Lewis Mountain
It was great to catch up with this crew again and see how much they've grown in two years since the last time I saw them! Wowzers! Thank goodness I keep staying the same age while I watch all these kids keep growing up and getting older. Ha! We had an amazing day for a sunset shoot and the lone bent tree sitting in the wispy grass made for a great backdrop for our shoot. They showed up ready to go and were all so cute together. I love to see the love amongst siblings. Kick back and enjoy the McEwans video.

Sweet Sibling Shoot | The McGauleys | Circle C Park
The McGauley crew showed up for their photo shoot ready to go and were so cooperative and sweet the entire time. We utilized the fall colors at the local park which looked great with their grey, blue and brown clothing. Check out their sweet video.
