and appreciate how much time is actually put into a session--before, during, and after. In looking through these, I know how each image is special for it's own reasons. And then when you think that these are only a handful of the images that have been created so far this year--not just by me, but by every other person who owns a camera--wow! This digital age is truly something beyond comprehension!

1. I've worked hard to incorporate true lifestyle (well, as close to true lifestyle as is possible) photography in my family photo sessions simply because when I look through my own personal pictures, those are the images that I'm drawn to most.
2. We didn't know it at the time, but that sweet baby girl was battling some kind of awful sickness that landed her in the hospital for a bit. She's all recovered now, but poor thing...I can't believe she put up with the session in spite of her not feeling well. I look forward to getting to work with her again when she's her normal, happy self.
3. Her mommy has the.best.hair.ever. She's better than a Breck girl.

The past couple of weeks have been so busy, I've barely had time to catch my breath. I miss my family terribly. Lucky for me, incredible clients come along at just the right time to leave me feeling refreshed and full of hope. These two are destined for wonderful things together and it was such a joy to spend time with them on their visit to one of their most favorite cities (from CA). She just might love Austin as much as I do.

It's no secret that I love Austin. I'm not from here, but here is where I feel at home. This city is so vibrant, so accessible, and filled with fun-loving, healthy, loving, vibrant families...families like this one. And we had our fill of the Austin vibe at our session that evening...
