I had two sweet pleasures recently. First, I got to meet little miss 2 year old Staley and second, I got to hold the photography session at a beautiful {new to me} Austin park where the spring color was just amazing. Staley spent the first 20 minutes of the session clinging to mommy’s leg and running away from me 
but we got some awesome shots of her regardless. A quick change {or two} of dresses and she transformed! After all, what girl doesn’t like a costume change?
I’ve seen it in my little photographer head for many many months… Pettiskirts, parasols and bare feet! And these two, with their beautiful long wavy hair and adorable little freckles, I knew would be perfect for the shot! Mom and I both live in Leander but knew that Georgetown’s parks had to be the backdrop. The weather was a-mazing and all four of us had a great time playing! Thanks so much girls 
I got into the photography {like most children’s photographers} because of my kids. I drove them up the wall! I literally carried my camera everywhere and took pictures of everything that they did. Once I began to hear the whispers of how exactly they planned to destroy my camera, I moved on to other people’s kids. At least they only see me a couple times a year right? So off into the child photography world I went. It’s what I knew and loved. A year ago, I was pretty sure that I didn’t want to work with newborns. In chatting with my online photog forum friends, it seemed like much harder work and very difficult to master. But when the first expecting mommy came along and hired me, I was IN love! So that got me to thinking… what else could I potentially love and don’t know it yet? Engagements, Boudoir, Weddings, Seniors… Well I’m currently trying them ALL and here you get to see my first jump into the world of high school seniors.
I. Loved. It.
Loooooved it!
Seriously, the moment I completed editing, I was looking into ways to get more more more! Did anyone know that seniors don’t run the other way to the nearest playscape ~or~ throw goldfish crackers at you? OOOh now, don’t get me wrong. I will forever love my kidlet clients. BUT, and I hope you agree, I feel I may have a knack for this and plan on stepping up this portion of my portfolio this year.
Now meet Tyler. He was totally up for anything and everything and we had a great time wandering all around downtown Austin. He even kept it on cue when people were cat calling to him from the other side of 6th street! HA!! He was awesome! Thanks Tyler!
Keep your eyes open Class of 2010, for some senior casting calls and contests soon!
The kids and I did our yearly duty and visited the pumpkin patch… and came home with THE biggest pumpkin we could find. The pumpkin lady said they were grown on a New Mexico Indian Reservation. Not sure I’ve ever seen one this big. While I didn’t get a picture of it {yet} I did manage a few others.
