ATX High School Senior Shoot | Alex | Westlake High School

Alex and Cicily (previous photo shoot) are besties and I photographed them separately and in different locations but on the same day of Thanksgiving break. Alex knew she wanted nature for her senior photo shoot and we decided to go to the Zilker Botanical Garden and utilize the beauty nestled right in the heart of Austin. I actually hadn't been there in years so it was good to go back and see what new construction they've added to the park. It really is a cool spot with some great scenic areas perfect for a photo shoot. Of course, we HAD to shoot on the iconic wooden arched bridge in the Japanese garden section! As the sun started to go down quickly, we hopped over to Zilker Park and got some more fun, candid shots in the golden light. Alex and her mom Sue were so cute together that I had to get a few shots of them having fun. Grab yourself a lil' cup of hot cocoa on this rainy day and kick back and enjoy Alex's video.

ATX High School Senior Shoot | Cicily | Austin High School

I can't stand the cuteness! The black and white polka dot dress, the European vibe, the ginger hair and the sweetest smile ever! It was so fun to photograph Cicily to commemorate her senior year of high school and we had so much fun moving around Laguna Gloria's art to do it. I can't quite get over the fact that she wore her grandmother's yellow and blue high school cardigan from Central High in Kansas City...talk about a moment to cherish. Grab yourself a lil' cuppacino and cookie and kick back and enjoy's Cicily's video.

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.
