Gallery Mount Sale | austin childrens photographer

As every parent in this area does each April, the time is upon us to plop kids in a field of bluebonnets and get the traditional “spring photo”. I was *dead set* that this year I was NOT doing the bluebonnet thing. As most photographer’s kids, my crew is very anti-photo session. And with me being so busy this month, I decided to just avoid the headache and take a stand. No bluebonnets for my kids. No to the client inquiries for bluebonnet mini sessions. Just going to skip it aaaaall together!

Enter the grandparents.

So I caved. And I’ll have to admit… I’m kind of glad I did. Especially once I found out there was a gallery mount sale going on with my lab I will be getting some of my shots mounted and as I prep my order… I’d like to prep yours too! So a call out to my past clients… Have an image from our session thinking back you’d like to have as a gallery mount? Let me know! You can get most any size gallery mount, now through April 20th, at 25% off!! Drop me a line if you’re interested.

So here are my shots of my kiddos. Now to choose….

Critter and I dropped work last Sunday and head for a favorite park with the kids. As busy as we’ve both been lately, it was a necessity! The short people needed out of the house {badly} and Critter and I needed some vitamin D… that our computer screens didn’t seem to be providing. Here are just a few shots from the afternoon that I loved.

I usually try to arrive at my sessions early… just in case there is traffic or something. One location that I frequent has a garden area and looking around, I can’t help myself. Isn’t nature spectacular?!

{the one} about my kids

I have probably the worst memory out of any girl in her 30’s that you will ever meet. Because of this tidbit, I have become that mom. The one that continually has her camera aimed at her children! They are pretty well sick of me, but I feel the need to capture it all! Mainly so that when I’m grey and stumbling around trying to find my bifocals… that are sitting on the top of my head, I’ll have my printed memories to fall back on. If I can find them that is. This is where my love of photography comes in! For so many reasons, photographs are precious.

As I ramp up for my already packed Holiday season, I am spending moments here and there to work on my personal photos. Here are a couple favorites from the last few days. It all goes too fast.

Hello, My name is Mollie and I’m a prop addict.

I have boxes and boxes of props, some of which I have not been able to get to yet. Beads, hats, pettiskirts, umbrellas, stools, dolls… almost all are girlie props. So in my search for boy props, I came across some capes on Etsy and these adorably cute monsters from a mom right here in my community! Handmade and completely custom built to your child’s taste, I instantly had to have two! Knowing we have birthdays around the corner, I had to get sneaky. I let the kids visit the site “just to play around”. I made mental note as to their creations and ordered them later. I had the two most adorable monsters on my doorstep lightning quick

I now know after giving them to my kiddos to photograph for upcoming clients, that I WILL need more. Neither of my short people has let go of their monsters since I gave them. They sleep with them, take them to the store and to playdates and sadly, throw tantrums when I don’t allow them to take them to 1st grade!! HA!

So whether for photography props or gifts for your own children, Please visit my friend Stephanie over at CurlyQ Cuties to get your own monsters!

My crew made our way down to the dino-creek last weekend for an afternoon nature hike. Critter has taken the kids there a few times but this was my first time joining them. It was pretty cool to see real dinosaur tracks within miles of my home! While crazy hot, we still had a great time together. Of course with camera in hand, I had my own kind of fun too, capturing my beautiful surroundings. Images like these allow me to step beyond my adoration of photography, further past my love for my family, and just enjoy the beauty of life as a whole.

My kids found my old “club box” and pulled out my old Docs and leather jacket. They began dress up time. Oh, those were the days….

Last weekend my wonderful hubby took the kids and dogs out hiking/swimming so I could head out for a relaxing day at Fall Creek’s Grape Stomp with M/D and R/J!

I really had so much fun!! It was my first trip to a vineyard and this place was just beautiful! Exactly what I imagined a vineyard would look like. I took part in a 10 wine tasting, had a delish meal, specially made for the day by Texas Culinary Academy and stomped all around in the vat of their newest blend of ‘athlete’s food wine’. {wink} It was gooey and gnarly and a great experience!

Of course it would not be a day in my life unless I took a ton of photos! You can see why I can’t wait to make another trip!
