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.
