texas trash & treasures - austin commercial photography

Last week, I was able to attend the grand opening of my aunt's new store in Carmine, Texas
.
Carmine is located about 10 miles north of Round Top & about halfway between Austin & Houston on Highway 290.

The store is fabulous! Not only is there product amazing but their store features several other local artists/vendors so the merchandise is very diverse. There is definitely something for everyone at Texas Trash & Treasures.

the gaths - austin family photography

I met the Gaths at the AMOA-Laguna Gloria on a humid morning last week...
I have been wanting to shoot at this venue for a while so when L suggested it, I was so excited.
We had amazing light and also managed to get inside the building before it was open (someone happened to leave the door unlocked). As you can see, the kids had a great time. F was very curious and had a blast just checking everything out. B wanted to go inside so bad so he was thrilled when we were able climb the stairs and look over the 2nd floor balcony.

I love meeting all these new families and I love that I am able to provide a tangible memory of this season of their lives!

Thanks M, L, B & F for a fun morning!

the goodes - san antonio family photography

Stephanie has been one of my best friends for about 13 years. When we met at work, I was just a young high-schooler starting at my very first job and Steph was the mature 21-year old who was making her way in the world. At a time when age was such a "label", she never made me feel like I was just a kid.

Our time together (then and now) is always full of laughs (we laugh until our cheeks hurt), full of happiness and always slightly inappropriate. But isn't that the best part of spending time with a best friend...feeling free to be authentic and uncensored?

This shoot was extra special, extra fun and it involved wine! so...there you go!

Joel is a "hard core" motorcycle man and is teaching J to be hard core as well. Looks like he's doing a good job.

I love that they thought to include their hobby in the session. Incorporating something you love or love to do into a session is a definite way to step it up to another level.

and incorporating your pet works like a charm also...

Leetle is hard core too!

You may remember J from here. He still likes to wear sunglasses (from his mom's purse) except this time she had to convince him that they weren't from her purse but that the reason they weren't his usual sunglasses was because she had just bought them new for him.

J is HARD CORE...

My favorite bike in "the fleet".

This week is exciting! On Wednesday afternoon, I have a BIG family session. What makes it exciting is that it is the family of a childhood friend of mine whom I have not seen in at least 1o years. We have been catching up a little via Facebook and email but I am so excited to see her again and meet her husband and his family. I am truly honored and humbled that she has asked me to photograph them together as a family during this significant season of their lives. Can't wait A!

Also this week: The Rodgers' who are here all the way from Colorado and the Gillenwater's Holiday Shoot (hope T & T start feeling better).

Hello October, here we go!

the painters - austin family photography

These are The Painters...

Aren't they a cute bunch? We met at a park in Round Rock for their shoot and had a great time. The kiddos, Ca & Co are so cute. Ca is full of energy and loved "modeling" for the camera. Co was all smiles and very curios. All of this energy combined made for some great pictures!
