My latest session album that I ALMOST didn’t give the client {heh} I luffed it mucho and hating parting with it. But as they say, a picture’s worth a thousand words… I can look at these every day for a quick smile.
Beautiful Fabric Covers

I heart these seriously thick pages!!
Recently I was hired by a friend to take some photos of her two little ones. This was a friend I knew way back from elementary aaaall the way through high school, and recently reconnected with via Facebook. She warned me that she is a bit of a photo addict herself and with that, comes the challenging ‘photographer’s child syndrome’. Yes, it’s a clinical diagnosis. Often caused my having a parent (usually a mother) who takes photos of their kids on such a regular basis that they develop an acute awareness of cameras. Common reactions include screaming, running, crying, goofy faces, and outright disobedience. My old children suffer this ailment. We are currently in search of a cure. Client mom was hoping I’d have better luck than she has had in the past. Luckily these kiddos only suffered slightly from PCS. Photographing children is a crap shoot in all reality. You are at the mercy of their moods. But I had high hopes after we choose a fantastic location in Lakeway. It was quite a beautiful backdrop! I arrived, chatted with my friend a bit and off we went to our location. Her kids were *adorable* and very sweet. Then I took out my camera. {wink} Big brother really only wanted to “pose in ways that I usually do”, which was fine.. he had the drill down so I took him up on his poses. His little sister had the sweetest little princess voice you’ve ever heard.She was willing to go walk anywhere with me. But as soon as I’d lift my lens up, she’d look down. It truly had me cracking up. At one point, she even walked down a bridge towards me.. backwards! How crafty is that? haha!! I still think we made out well. Hard to not when your subjects are such QTs!
A bit of an overshare this time… but I won’t apologize…
I’m beyond excited about this post because I had a ridiculously good time shooting this wedding with some great girls from AIP. The bride was the twin sister of a mom of twins I photographed earlier in the year. The venue and decor was gorgeous and the weather was pure perfection. As you can see, the bride was simply glowing and super non-bridezilla. {wink} And I don’t think I have ever seen a man so ready to be married before. They wanted things simple and non-traditional. No bouquet tosses, no formal photos, no official dances and insisted that the day be ALL about the kids. 10 to be exact. There was no wedding party except for the 10 nieces and nephews. Tell me that isn’t right up my ally! I hope you enjoy the photos as much I had joy in taking them. 
If you are interested in hiring me for your wedding, please contact me for details and I will put you in contact with the photographer I partner with. I’m also available for second shooting with other photographers in Austin area.
3 families.
5 kids in front of the camera.
7 adults behind the camera.
**Loads of delicious fun**
