My Little Honey Bunny!

I have 2 honey bunny's that I refer to...one is my son and the other is my niece. Somehow the stars aligned and me and my niece had a sleepover and it was just the two of us. I guess my boys were out of town or something. I can't remember. :~) She's totally into Lala Loopsy so brought all her gear over so we could play, we did her fashion princess sticker books, watched tv together, picnicked in the living room (that's a given at my house) AND I talked her into a photo shoot! The last time we did this our photo shoot lasted a whopping 8 minutes and she said, "Ok, Aunt Brannie I'm done." I decided we'd need a little longer this time so I talked her into bringing some of her Lala Loopsy stuff and being photographed with all her critters. She liked that idea. SCORE! The next toughest step is getting her to brush her hair. This child has the tenderest head I've ever seen. Seriously, I'll barely even touch the brush to her hair (not her scalp) and she'll be screaming, "OUCH!STOP!" I talked her into a "side pony" like Aunt Brannie was wearing and she liked that idea, too. SLAM DUNK! We made it to the park just in time for it to start raining (oh, brother!) but we plugged along b/c it was only a slight drizzle. :) For the most part, she ended up having fun with it. She does have a serious side to her so there are some of those shots as well but this by far was the best she ever performed for me. Without further adoo, here's Miss A. with her loopy excuse me I mean lala loopsy friends!

Guess Who Turned One?

"Baby I" turned one! I photographed this family a few weeks ago and it was all in the celebration of their baby turning one! We had to have balloons for this shoot to keep it festive. Baby I's mom wanted color and lots of it so that's exactly what we did! We used lots of color and then she had the cutest props for the baby. It all came together so nicely. I just loved it! As usual with a one year old in the photo, he was DONE after about an hour and I got the biggest kick out of his birthday hat photos. He was like, "Would you people PLEASE let me take my nap now and quit putting these crazy things on my head!" Hope you celebrate the photos of this beautiful baby boy and they make you smile.

Sweet Siblings

I had the pleasure of photographing these two cuties last weekend down on Lake Austin. Mom just wanted some playful shots of them hanging out and "playin'". I'm not sure 15 year old guys really know how to play with their 2 year old sisters but he did a great job with some guidance from me and his mom! He was a real trooper and very patient while we chased his on the move sister around trying to get some shots of her. His reward was well worth the 1 hour photo shoot he endured...paintball with his buddies. Now, that's a serious reward for behaving well in a photo shoot! With out further adoo...here are the sweet siblings.

It's That Time of Year Again...

Even though it's only the end of summer, it's that time again to start preparing for the holidays. It takes time in the photo business to make those awesome holiday cards and gifts, so we have to start early. I'm booking for my fall "Mixing It Up Is Merrier" mini sessions again. I have 30 slots to fill this year and in my first day of emailing out the ad I've booked 10 slots with several other inquiries. This IS GOOD! I'm very excited. The first two weeks will be downtown sessions and the last two weeks will be park sessions. Give me a jingle if you're interested.
