Holiday Family Shoot | The Holders & Wilsons | Lake Austin

I love this time of year when I get to see The Holders and Wilson families for their annual holiday shoot. Since we missed last year due to Covid, I was in awe how tall the boys had grown since I saw them last! Sheesh! It's kinda insane actually. And, there's a new grand baby Charlie who I hadn't met yet. She's already 2 and cute as a bugs ear. She wasn't sure about the whole big family photo shoot but Grandma got her loosened up, smiling and dancing when she turned on some @DojaCat. LOL! This year the family opted for the red/black checked pattern personalized pj's which I think is such a fun idea! It's great for a large group that doesn't feel like coordinating outfits and wants casual and fun. On this chilly morning, grab yourself a hot cocoa and a blueberry muffin and kick back and watch their cute video.

Lifestyle Family Shoot | The Wylers | Dripping Springs, Texas

Meet this cute family The Wylers from Dripping Springs, TX! I had donated a photo shoot to @Carrying Hope which is a non profit organization here in Austin that makes back packs for children entering into the Foster Care system. A Hope Pack is a backpack or diaper bag filled with comfort items and essentials intended to help ease the transition for children who are entering a new foster home. Our goal is to offer items that a child entering foster care would either need or could find comfort in during those first 48 hours in care — you would be amazed what a fresh pair of jammies and a soft teddy bear can do for a child in crisis. Hope Packs also allow foster parents to focus solely on a child in those first crucial hours and days instead of rushing out to the store.
The Wylers purchased the photo shoot at Carrying Hope's gala this past year. It's definitely a great cause so please click the link above and see if you feel called to help in any way. Go ahead and grab yourself an iced latte (because it's going to be 83 degrees this November fall day) and a muffin and kick back and enjoy the Wyler's sweet video.

Lifestyle Sibling Shoot | Bali & Dylan | Brushy Creek Park

Here we go again...another year around the sun and these two just keep getting prettier and more handsome by the year. I have been photographing Bali and Dylan since Dylan was a newborn! What the what?! So naturally, I had to take a walk down memory lane and look up one of our old photo shoots from when they were little. This particular shoot was at a pinata shop off of East Cesar Chavez (before it was trendy). What can I say? I've always been ahead of my time when it came to scouting locations. :) They were 3 and 5 years old here and I have to say quite squeezable!

Now, they're both in high school and growing like weeds every time I see them! The name and age tee shirts have been a tradition since they were 3 and 5 years old. We joked at this shoot that their mom is going to be making them wear their name/age shirts at 35 years old with their kids in name/age shirts. LOL! They were mortified just thinking about it. This particular tradition is super sweet and it makes their mom so happy AND that makes it all worth it! Grab your chai latte and crumpets and kick back and enjoy Bali and Dylan's video.

Lifestyle Maternity Shoot | The McMahons | Bull Creek Park

Oh, here we are a few years later after I photographed their wedding and now coming soon is Baby McMahon! I'm so excited for them. We had a nice little casual shoot at Bull Creek Park and the warm hues of the fall leaves just popped against their greys and blue clothing. I love the song to their video which is "All Love Everything" by Aloe Blacc. Some of the lyrics are: It's like all love everything I wanna wake up in the morning with a wedding ring Doing anything with you is my favorite thing Like the sweetest melody, you make my heart sing out like
Perfect for these two. I'm so happy for them. Now, grab yourself a yummy milkshake and some fries and kick back and watch this sweet video.

ATX Lifestyle Family Photos | The Fechters | Circle C Park

I always love this time of year because everyone is ready to get their family photos updated in preparation for Christmas cards and gifts. I love it because I get to catch up with family's that I haven't seen in a year or two and see how much the kids have grown. It's been two years since I've seen this family but the kids have turned into teenagers in those two years! We opted to stay close to home this time and utilize our beautiful nearby park. You know how I love to show some love and emotions in my photos...well, take note of how much the kids loved when I told mom and dad to give a little smooch to each other. They were dying! Love catching the candid emotions when this happens. Kick back, prop your feet up and enjoy the Fechters video.

ATX Lifestyle Senior Photo Shoot | Jordan | Bowie High School

Goodness...Jordan is a real beauty. I was motivated creatively while photographing her because of her pink, flowy long dress that she showed up in mixed with our forest scene on the giant fallen tree log mixed with her yellow hazel eyes and some soft natural lighting. These are the days that I love being a photographer when everything seems to fall into place. It's not always like that but this particular day it was. We had some serious humidity but I'll let that one thing go. We moved onto @Plaza Columbian next for a yummy coffee and a location filled with pops of color. It looks like we made a bee line to Mexico for this part of the shoot (I wish!) but we were right in the heart of Austin. Those sandals! Jordan rocked her outfit with a pop of neon pink heels which was perfect for our tropical destination. Then, we ended the shoot with some neutral, gray concrete walls that finished out the shoot with a bang. Grab yourself a chai latte and kick back and enjoy Jordan's video.
