Extended Family Photo Shoot | The Holders-Wilson | Lake Austin

Even though once again at another one of my shoot's this fall the drizzle keeps getting in the way, we made the most of it and it was a "Lovely Day". Luckily, they have an awesome covered patio with a beautiful view of Lake Austin which always makes for a great backdrop. The swans came to visit and have some snacks for a few of the photos which was a sweet treat. And, we finished the shoot out front in the street and everyone weathered the drizzling rain with their smiles on and made the most of it! Thank you Holders and Wilsons for being such troopers! Grab your vino and crackers and cheese and kick back and enjoy the video. P.s. I do not own the rights to this song.

Holiday Family Lifestyle Shoot | The Fletchers | Austin, Texas

Oh my goodness! I can't get enough of these families with little boys that I've been photographing. I think words gotten out on the street how tickled I get photographing these crazy boys but man they are cute AND funny! Once again, the Fletchers didn't disappoint. Mama decided that she wanted to just do a shoot at home in their holiday pj's and we had a ball. They decorated the tree, painted their hand prints on their tree skirt, decorated cookies, had a dance party and all the while Mom and Dad were happy because it was happy hour! You need to tune in to see the Burt Reynolds replica by the fireplace, someone might have gotten "cookie drunk" and the pj shirt's starting getting ripped off in all the festivities. They've welcomed a new addition to the family and his name is Harrison "Harry". What a cutie patootie he is and he fit right in with all the holiday kerfluffle. Grab a drinky poo, turn the music up and kick back and enjoy the fun.

ATX Family Shoot | The Dreys | Lake Austin

I photographed the Dreys a few weeks ago and they were the lucky winners ;) of one of my photoshoots that I had donated to the charity Carrying Hope. This charity helps foster children who are going to a new home. Alot of the children would go into their new foster home with only the clothes on their backs so Carrying Hope came up with the idea for Hope Packs: backpacks filled with everything a child would need during his/her/their first 24-48 hours in a new home. The Dreys thought that a shoot on the lake would be nice so we were able to shoot at Westlake Beach down on Lake Austin...thanks David! Oh my goodness, let the fun begin. They have 3 adorable little boys who were so cute with their slicked back hair, cute outfits and sweet personalities that I had a ball photographing the whole family. The boys kept me on my toes and huffin' and puffin' trying to keep up their energy. Grab a cider and a snack and kick back and watch this overload of cuteness.

Austin, TX Holiday Siblings Photo Shoot | Bali & Dylan

These two are the best! They always show up and are ready to get the job done. There was some bickering this year to their mom about wearing the tshirts with their age on them but ya know some traditions die hard for us mamas. We joked that in the future when Bali would be 35 years old and have her own two kids that Mama would still be making her wear her age on her shirt. :))) Totally Joking but funny to think about and envision. I put together a cute holiday video this year so kick back, grab your holiday cider and enjoy their video.

ATX Family Shoot | The Ferraras

We definitely rolled with the punches on this photo shoot. This particular late October Saturday morning we were blessed with a heat wave and the highest humidity you can imagine. Dr. Mai and her boys showed up dressed for fall photos and everyone was uncomfortable in their long sleeves with the warmth. We finally ducked into La Patisserie for some air conditioning and a sweet treat to try and energize the boys on this early Saturday morn. We took advantage of the yummy treats and cute cafe and snapped a few photos while they enjoyed their macarons. The boys were more energized after their cookies and we managed to squeek out a few more photos around South First Street before the drizzle started. Grab yourself a hot tea and cookie and kick back and watch their cute family video. P.s. I do not own the rights to this song.

ATX High School Senior Shoot | Jordan | Bowie High School

The senior shoots are in full swing right now and I'm loving it! Jordan rolled into his senior shoot with a big grin on his face and was ready to be photographed. He travelled to Japan this past summer with his brother for an extensive amount of time and brought his favorite shirt from Japan along to be photographed in. This is what I want all the senior guys to do! Can you guess which shirt it is? It's the black and white printed shirt. Love that print mixed with the brown cords and of course we had to take a few with the sunglasses, too. In years to come, when he looks back on these photos it will always be a reminder of travelling to Japan the summer before his senior year. Grab a snack and a drinky poo and kick back and watch Jordan's video. P.s. I don't own the rights to this song.

Aisley | High School Senior 2024 | Bowie High School

This is Aisley and she looks like a greek goddess in her senior photos. I think her Mama is going to need a box of tissues to watch her video. The mix between Aisley's beauty, the natural setting at Creekside mixed with this song is a trifecta. It's such an emotional ride as a parent to watch our baby birds prepare to fly the nest and move onto the next phase of their life so that's why commemorating their senior year is so important. Aisley was a natural in front of the camera and knows how to work her angles. She has one of the prettiest profiles that I've ever seen and I had so much fun photographing her. She's going to rise up and conquer what's ahead of her and I wish her the absolute best on the next part of her journey. Grab a cup of joe and kick back and enjoy Aisley's video. Don't forget the tissues. Sorry, Jules. :)
