The Cape 2010

Found a few photos this morning from our trip to Cape Cod this past summer. Just needing a creative break from my beautiful families and springs shoots to reminisce a little about our exquisite vacation with Rickie, Thomas, Fiona and my precious and perfect godson, Teddy.

Teddy Bear!

Best of Christmas Shoots 2010!

Expect to see this wonderful child on the "big screen" someday!

I have never met a child overflowing with so much love and personality!

Big brother has a little personality himself! On TOP if the WORLD at River Place Country Club in Austin... (looks scarier that it really is... I haven't lost one yet!)

Brother sista love!

One of my ALL time favorite families! I've had the privilege of photographing this family twice now. I NEVER know what shots I'm going to come home with! The shoots are a whirlwind of activity, laughter, mischief and rough and tumble love and affection. Always a great time and a great shoot!

And then, the precious girls in my life, Sydney and Elle. This beautiful photograph will hang 6x9 FEET on a canvas in an inset in their lovely home! Wouldn't this be a wonderful moment to enjoy each day? Can't wait to see it!

YEEEE! The Waugh Boys! My Other favorite all boy shoot! And again, the privilege of a second shoot with these wild, brilliant, handsome and talented boys!

Future rocker, moviestar and writer perhaps? Who can tell!

This says it all...

Mom and Dad... got to have a beer with them at Gueros after this shoot. What a fun family, and wow, I love my job!

Let's pray they never actually ENTER this tattoo parlous on South Congress...

FIVE...

SEVEN...

and NINE! It took some work, but we finally found them all!

tough.

Abby Road on SOCO ...and guess who the fool is in the middle of the road? The funny thing is that before we cropped it, she noticed it was a green light. Death defying photography!

Cool Allen's Boots pic I posted before remembering to chop the creepy baby (aka Chucky) out of the pic (see behine the glass door) : )

Happy Waughs. : )

AH! Finally! A shoot with the precious Jones Family! A true treat to anyone who knows them or of them. Family of 6, a dog and two cats and God knows how many others you may find there when you also stop by. Full house, full life. They are our friends, neighbors, babysitters, classmates, wine-drinking, red-neck-Wednesday renegades. A much added joy to my life in Austin.

I SWEAR the cat is SMILING! (It's Toonsy!)

Twelfth grade beauty and future famed vocalist! Off to college in just a few months.... wow. Our babysitter since she was just 13. What an honor to shoot her senior portrait.

Sibling love in the "magical golden hay!"

Wrapped up in mother's loving arms... what better place to be....

The 1st ORIGINAL Dog Quarterback!

I have literally never seen two people more in love and in sync as these two "kids". SOMEHOW they've figured out how to raise 4 kids and still take time to laugh, kiss and cuddle. They clearly know where to draw the line between parenting and living. This photo, a perfect shot obviously, of them living and loving.

(By the way, this is one example of the many Christmas card templates I own that are fully customizable. I plan on doing many more cards for families this year starting with Valentine's Day! Think about it!)

South Congress Peddi-Cab!

Grandpa and baby at a North Carolina picnic

My sweet Baby Katie doll! I accosted this poor woman in Ann Taylor and basically begged her to let me photograph this sweet baby! Now you can all see why! I have done two shoots with them now, and hope for a third as they are expecting a second child any day. So glad my stalker instincts kicked it!

Ben, Elle and Blane. Love is all you need.
I ADORE this family.
Their mother, Danielle, (pictured later) makes beautiful,
one-of-a-kind jewelry that you will rarely see me NOT wearing!

A Happy Jake Sandwich! There are some parents that really get stressed out before and during a shoot. These are NOT those parents. They are as relaxed and calm as one would ever want to be. Their main goal? Loving this precious child... and loving each other. Not a single other worry. : )

AH, a loving Mother and her three perfect BOYS!

And THIS is why this was one of my all time favorite shoots! I had NO idea what I had captured until I got home. It was a total blur of swinging, soccer balls, swimming pools, tickling and wrestling. It was WONDERFUL! And it made me realize that although it can be VERY tiresome and frustrating, there is no greater excitement and energy that what comes from a BOY!

A truly beautiful family, inside and out. And not a prettier day or spot to be had in Austin, Texas.

Really? Whoever said the eyes are windows to the soul had just met this child....

One of my all time favorite children- she is as spunky and yet sweet as they come. I told her
mom she reminded me of Eloise....

Ah....this red-headed darling...She is as tall (her dad is 6'7!) as she is sweet and beautiful (as her mom!)...
but she's killer on the bball court, swimming pool and soccer field! Be warned!

My Eloise again...

Beautiful, Blue-Eyed Olivia

For the love of BEVO!

Is anything more precious that this family? I adore them all! They are truly joyful!

Sweet baby Ned who just got baptized in Barton Springs Pool! Maybe one the coolest events I've ever been too (literally, as i was IN the water at 9am!). His twin sister, Lela, is just as perfect and beautiful and took it all in stride. And kudos to the priest who was up to his robe ties in 68 degree water! More photos from that magical morning to come!

One of my very favorite families! I've had the privilege of photographing this family 3 times! Their boys are SO big now, I can't even believe it. I've also had the honor of photographing the very large extended family which I desperately tried to claim as my own. You gotta love a family that serves you wine while you're shooting them!

New new favorite shoot: what a beautiful family! And a perfect fall day to boot. : )

Seeds for Goodness Shoot!

2010-10-23T13:32:00.000-07:00

Precious and beautiful Marcie Finney models her beautiful handmade, heirloom jewelry. Give Marcie your old heirloom pieces, and she will make you an exquisite, one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry to treasure forever.

LOVED this shoot! Spend all day with sweet Marcie and wonderful hair and make-up aficionado, Mandy Grenado, of Grenado Cosmetics (her shoot to come!)... and although we were hot and exhausted, everyone had a great day and left happy after a beer and pool at the Broken Spoke (our last shooting spot).

You can reach Marcie at www.seedsforgoodness.com. If you haven't met Marcie, yet, you should. I guarantee that once you get to know her, you will never be the same. : )

Welcome to my new blog!
