Basically I was just testing out my glass… with the girl… and some of the neighbor’s raked piles. {Sorry neighbor man for messing up your hard work.}

Also a quick note, I will be notifying the Giving is Awesome recipient, and their nominator, on Christmas Eve by email. Thank you to everyone who sent in nominations.  I wish somehow I could work them all.  I truly took forward to meeting the winning family and sharing the images with my blog friends once they are complete.

I just love babies and when I spend hours upon hours looking at one, it’s really beyond my control. But this baby had my number before I even stepped foot in her house. It was the moment her mom said her name. Sally. Baby Sally! OH…. melt. That is just too cute. Little Baby Sally is 12 weeks old. Usually this is quite a hard age to photograph but she was so sweet. Even her cry was gentle and soft. She spoiled me, for sure.

I am happy to participate in the “Giving is Awesome” cause again this year. I would like to start by thanking Kristen Kalp of Essential Imagery for this truly awesome idea.  She is not only one of the funniest, wittiest chickies I know, she is also the brainchild behind this incredible giving idea. Last year she encouraged photographers to donate during the holiday season and started this amazing website to track the donations of photographers all around the world!  In total, $565,000 was donated.  And now we’re ready to do it again {grin}  Now, onto the awesomely awesomeness that is the heart of this season….the spirit of giving…..

You know someone. You know someone who’s experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down several jobs, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can’t afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family’s spirit, love, and beauty.

You know someone. I guarantee it.

I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography — $1500 worth, to be exact.  This will cover cost of the the session itself, 10 gift prints and a disk of all the session’s images.  It’s in your power to give them the artwork they deserve this holiday season.

Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a $200 gift print credit!  What better reason to show some love could there possibly be, people?

If you don’t really know someone, please pass this post along to others. Someone, somewhere, knows a deserving family. I know it!

The rules:

* You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services. (Being unable to make mortgage payments for a two-million-dollar-vacation-home in Paris does not qualify as sincere financial need.)

* The nominee must reside in Austin or its surrounding areas. Tell me who you know, what they’re experiencing, and why they deserve my giveaway. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.

* You must e-mail me the full story HERE before December 20th, 11:59pm.

The winner will be announced on Christmas Eve — get nominating! I can’t wait to read all of your entries!
Open your heart to someone this holiday season — and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.

With love,
Mollie

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!

I just counted my Cutie Patootie entries this evening and we have a grand total of 67! I sure don’t envy my friends who must now narrow them down to 5 for me!  There are a lot of cuties in the bunch so the decisions will be hard!  Expect to see another post in about a week to view the semi-finalists. I will notify all winners by email so that they have plenty of time to get all their friends and family to vote. (remember only unique votes will be counted.)

I have two newborn shoots to share in the next week, but for now?… just a few I edited today of my little guy at the sprinkler park. You must know that my editing my personal photos is rare these days so visualize me patting myself on the back now.

I luff him!
