The Adorable Mr. E

I had the pleasure of spending the morning last Sunday with a wonderful family that was so excited to be welcoming their little boy into the world.  Mr. E was awake almost the whole time and finally fell asleep as I was packing my stuff up to leave.  Despite his alertness during the session, I was able to get some great shots of him.  I am hoping for both mom and dad's sake that he slept for a while afterwards!


Here's a sneak peek from the session!

It's Beginning to Feel a Lot Like Christmas

Here we are.  It's the end of October, Halloween is just a few days away.  The craziness of the holiday season is upon us.  Soon we will be planning Thanksgiving with our families.  Then comes the day after Thanksgiving sales that get the Christmas season rolling.  All leading up to the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

I love Christmas!  I always have.  As soon as the Christmas songs start playing on the radio, you will find me singing along.  This time of the year is especially magical now that I have my two children to share it with.  I love seeing how their eyes light up at the sights and sounds of the season.

Now is the time to capture the magic.  Your children are only little for such a short time.  Book your Holiday Sessions now.  Sessions are on-location, either in your home (where we can capture some of your family traditions) or at the location of your choice (within the Austin Metro area).

See "Price List" tab for prices on holiday cards.

What to Wear Wednesday

Here's another installment in my "What to Wear Wednesday" section.  This week think about adding layers to add interest to your pictures.  Rich, deep colors are great colors for fall pictures that can also be used for your upcoming Christmas cards.  You don't have to stick to red and green for Christmas cards.  Think about colors that look good on you and your family.  Incorporate those colors into your pictures because if you look and feel great about your choices that will come out in your photographs.

What to Wear Wednesday

I frequently get asked by my clients, "What should we wear?" in reference to their portrait sessions.

I encourage them to wear what they feel comfortable in because comfortable clients always make for better photos.  This usually results in clients pushing the "easy button" and choosing the same color shirts, blue jeans, and flip flops.

So I thought it would be fun to have a weekly set of ideas for upcoming photo sessions.

I encourage you to step outside of the box and seek out fun colors and textures for your next photo shoot.  What you wear can make or break your images.  Take your upcoming photo session to the next level and show off your family’s great style!

These are a few of my favorite things {Austin TX Nature Photographer}

I sometimes get the chance to get out and photograph things and places that I love.  Some of these are taken here in Austin.  Some are taken when I visited my parents in Arkansas.  Some are from our trip to Eastern Tennessee.  Not only are these beautiful places to visit, but they all have some meaning to me.

We will be going to visit family in a few weeks and I hope to get some more pictures that I can add to this collection.

Enjoy!
