I'm trying out a new look for blog images design so things might be funky for a little while...

Here are a few shots from The Buckley's Holiday Session. The following image has little post- processing done to it, it was literally THAT foggy! The Buckley's were troupers, we were all bound to make it happen, through fog, cold and rain!

Parents please remember: bribery NEVER works during a portrait session! (hehe) Please see below for an example of this fact.

As you can see in this next photo, the fact that J's parents gave him a lollipop absolutely could not make him any cuter! or could it...?

All kidding aside, J is so fun and full of personality and really is the most adorable! I have so much fun with him. We met right before Christmas at the Hill Country Galleria and we were even able to get some shots of him with Santa. I didn't include those in the post though because it is now March and it just wouldn't make sense (I am a little behind in blogging).

J has a brother coming in May so we snuck in a few of the whole family as well. All were present: Amy, Casey, J and Fruitsnack!

I am so excited about this weekend's Day in the Bluebonnets. Although, I think next year it will definitely need to have a more clever name....A Day in the Bluebonnets? So vanilla!

Some of you who are signed up have been asking if you, the parents, can be in the pictures as well. Of course! The session is short and we will be on a schedule but I would love for parents to be included in a few of the shots if they would like to be.

Also, those of you signed up for bluebonnets know this but to the rest of my clients, I am now set-up to accept CC payments via Paypal on the website! Woot! I thought it was going to be such a process but ended up being the easiest thing ever. Welcome to 2010!

jacoby wedding - austin wedding photography

Yesterday I was was honored and privileged to photograph a beautiful wedding. This is only the second wedding I have done and the first for Cherry Blossom Photography.

The bride was a friend who I had not been in touch with for about 15 years! She and her husband had a small and very intimate wedding here in Austin at the most fabulous venue. The love, devotion and commitment of this couple was palpable. Congratulations M & C!

Here's a sneak peek...

day in the bluebonnets

SOLD OUT

v-day

Happy Valentine's Day! I love that the holiday has fallen on the weekend for the last two years. For me, its not about chocolates and roses (even though I did get some very pretty flowers)...being able to spend the whole day with my honey is enough.

This a sample from Miss C's Christmas session. Since it's February and I am just now posting them, I picked ones which didn't have the Christmas tree in the background. I always have the best time photographing C and now her mommy is expecting another cutie-pie, so it will be double the fun! It's amazing how much she has changed since her very first session.

Tomorrow, a new client session. I am so excited to meet them...we are supposed to have a beautiful day. Is anyone else ready for some sunshine?

vacation and p's birthday - austin photography

The Adam/Hulme/Rodriguez clan all leave tomorrow for a vacation. We have family who live in Endicott, NY. We are so excited for a cold get-a-way. It has been warm in NY for the last week so a lot of the snow has melted but we hear that they are getting snow tonight and a few times while we are there. I am so excited to be with the girls when they see snow for the first time. Presleigh has been practicing her snow angel skills. The adults will be skiing, snowmobiling and relaxing by the fire.

So I leave you with some photos from Presleigh's 3rd Birthday Party...

The giant cupcake that Candice made...

P didn't what to think when we started singing...

A change of tune...

She's three...

Little sister...

Somehow Sydney got to almost all of P's presents before she did :)

Tuckered out from playing in the jumpy house that Aunt Carly and Uncle Joe got them for Christmas...

the brewer family - austin family photography

I met the Brewers at the Avery Ranch Golf Club. It is such a great location!

The Brewers have four kiddos, two older and two younger, so the dynamic of the kids together was really cool. The older kids are very nurturing and loving with the younger ones and you can tell that M adores her older brother.

M is too cute for words, she is full of personality. L is at the age where he was just exploring everything...even going as far as to "taste" a dandelion during our session which made for a fun photo.

the robbins family - austin family photography

I first met Miss E at the Halloween Picture Party. She didn't really take a shining to me then but we ended up getting a few really beautiful shots of her in her costume.

This is my favorite from that day...

A few weeks later, E's mom contacted me about a family shoot and I was so excited to get a second chance to win her over! :) We decided to do the shoot at their house in Dripping Springs so E would be more comfortable and I am so glad we did. The shoot was one of the best I have ever had. There home and the land surrounding it are beautiful, the family was relaxed and comfortable and it really shines through in the pictures.

What a character!

Fabulous (all-natural) lens flare!

Brooke, I can't wait for future sessions with you and your family. Our session and the finished product made me so proud and reminded me of how much I love what I do!
