The “W” Family

Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful family and their two sweet little dogs. They were so patient even though it was hot, humid and windy outside! Here are a few of my favorites from our session.

{ A Family’s Love }

Today I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful family of three. It was their first time getting family portraits made and I was so thrilled for them! This sweet little boy, who turns 1 tomorrow, was very squirmy and I didn’t think we would ever get a smile out of him, but once we did he really performed. Mom and Dad were so patient and in the end we got some really great shots.

I absolutely LOVE Spring! With all of the winter rains we had, the wildflowers are coming up like crazy. Here are some I snapped while out at McKinney Falls State Park this past weekend. There were flowers everywhere you looked, especially the bluebonnets. Simply beautiful.

I had so much fun with A and C during their session! They are such a cute couple! They even brought along Presley the dog and boy was he a great sport. If you mentioned the word “ball” he would perk up and turn his head…too funny. I enjoyed seeing Miss A again…I had taken some family portraits of her and her family two years ago. Here is a sneak peek of their love and laughter filled session.

{ Together Again }

I had a wonderful time with this family this morning during their session. Dad returned just seven days ago from an 8 month deployment to Iraq. They are based in Germany but Mom and son came here to be with her family while he was deployed. You could just see the love that these two parents have for each other and their son. I am humbled thinking about the sacrifices that they and all military families make for our freedom.

{ Love and Commitment }

Today I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding vow renewal ceremony for the Mr. and Mrs. “G”. I enjoyed meeting everyone and their sons were just too cute in their little suits! The ceremony took place at the gorgeous St. Williams Catholic Church here in Round Rock. Afterward, we headed down to the popular spot along Brushy Creek to do some family portraits. It was so hot out but everyone did great and soldiered through. It was so neat to be a witness to a beautiful renewal of love, faith and commitment.

{ The “J” Family }

Yesterday I did a family session with Miss “K” (see previous post), her Dad and brother. They were so much fun and all three of them were such naturals in front of the camera. We did the session along the banks of beautiful Brushy Creek here in Round Rock. I just love this spot and all of the neat aspects of it. Here are a few from yesterday…

{ The Lovely Miss “K” }

This afternoon I had a really fun senior portrait session in downtown Austin. We were a bit dissapointed to find that the wind was blowing pretty hard and I thought it was going to be a tricky shoot. Luckily I found several good spots out of the wind and was able to get some fantastic, fun shots. Miss K is so spunky and outgoing and was a complete natural in front of the camera, she made my job so easy!

{ Summer is Almost Here! }

Today was a gorgeous day here in Central Texas….96 degrees nice to be exact. I LIVE for this time of year. Here are a few photos I took at sunset tonight as the family was hanging out in the backyard after dinner. I cannot wait till summer is officially here!

{ Happy Birthday Baby “N” }

Today’s afternoon session was very special to me and I was so happy to have been able to do these.Â A few days ago I found out that my cousin and her little boy were going to be in town from Nashville. Her Mom and Dad also had come in from Houston, although her Dad had to go back, her Mom was still here so I got to catch up with her too. I haven’t seen them since my wedding ten years ago! We have kept in contact however through our blogs, email and Facebook. Thank goodness for the web! We had to fight the brisk wind to get these portraits done but it was so worth it! Baby “N” is so precious and I loved watching his curiosity with everything around him. He is already a typical boy and took joy in the simple things like rocks and sticks. I am so glad I got to see them and only hope it’s not another ten years before I see them again. Happy First Birthday sweet boy!
