On this evening, it was about mom and dad.

Husband and wife.

No kiddos.

Just them.

Together.

In love.

Still.

wimberly_family_photographer.jpgI’m going to tell on myself here…I don’t like to drive. I make my husband do all the driving. However, tonight, I had to make the trek out to Wimberly to meet up with this family all by my lonesome. And you know what? It wasn’t bad. Not bad at all. In fact, it was a BLAST and wow, Wimberly is beautiful…and so was this family. I loved their eclectic style…lots of color, lots of texture, lots of unique uses for old things. They were relaxed, comfortable, easy going, and so much fun to be around. I didn’t want the evening to end. And, I didn’t even mind the drive home, mostly because I couldn’t wait to flip through their images 😉

ETA a quick outtake…this would be right as baby girl decided to somersault off the bed. Thankfully, I can shoot one-handed in situations such as this and mom and dad have pretty quick reflexes too!

crazy_iphone_austin_kids_photographer.jpg

I need to be stopped. I’ve officially gone crazy over these amazing iPhone cases from Get Uncommon (thanks a lot, Lyndsay ;-). I wasn’t really sure about the quality until I saw it in person and wow! It’s amazing! I may end up with a whole collection of these puppies.

Clients…if you have an iPhone, you’ve got to give this a try!!! In fact, if you want to use one of the images from any session with me, let me know and I would be happy to format it for you (the wrap can actually be a little tricky as I’ve learned and sometimes you need a little extra special photoshop work ;-). Contact me by the end of this month (even if you haven’t actually had your session yet) and I’ll help you out.

P.S. I think these would rock for seniors!

Nothing that would really interest anyone, so I won’t go into it. Instead, I thought I’d go back to a happier time…just a few weeks ago at our .emme. boudoir event in Austin. I saw Michelle had written the sweetest post on her blog about our time in Austin and my gosh, I couldn’t have said it better. Michelle…I feel the same way. What an amazing opportunity!

Anyway, we’ve been finishing up the orders this week and it’s been so fun to go through all the pics again. I can’t wait to hear about everyone’s reactions. I also can’t wait because in a little over a week, I’ll be heading out to L.A. for our next round of sessions. If you haven’t scheduled yours yet, you’ll need to contact Michelle quickly…deadline to book is June 23rd. (website here). Also looking forward to working with everyone who set up individual sessions with me here in Austin. 😉

Hmmmm…is it me or do I look *really* tired in that pic up there? Yeah. I look tired. But it was worth it. (Thanks, Katie, for snapping these pics of us at the end!)

Can you figure it out?

Thank you so much to Z and his mommy for not looking at me like I was crazy when I told them what I wanted to do tonight. I can’t even begin to tell you how much fun a session is when you just go with the flow and let the ideas roll. Happy early b-day to mr. Z!

[P.S. Happy 1st b-day to Kai if his mommy is reading this ;-)]

…and I actually cried *again* flipping through the images of this major milestone. Saving those pics for mom and dad later, but this should tide everyone over. This little miracle is now 7 days old and he is amazing! [P.S. Thanks to dad for snapping the scrubbing in pics before we went in ;-)]

This is what she insisted upon this morning. I admit that I loved it. But mostly I loved that she kept saying, “huuuu-la, huuuu-la” over and over again in her sweet, raspy, baby voice.

So thrilled to have started this exciting new project with Baby Coco. Every so often, we’ll be featuring fabulous nurseries meticulously put together by Baby Coco and their clients. Such a joy to get to meet new people, hang out in beautiful spaces, and of course, play with ADORABLE babies! I just love seeing all the details that make a baby’s nursery so special and I can’t wait to see where Cheyenne asks me to go next.

Call for Austin area baby models: I’m currently looking for a baby girl about 3-5 months old who is available the morning of June 20th at 6:45 a.m. to do a quick session for Baby Cakes Scottsdale. Signed model release is required. In exchange for use of the images, you will receive low res copies of the edited images, a beautiful baby blanket ($100 value) and 1/2 off the Creative Fee for a 2010 Premium Session with me! Not a bad deal, huh?  Interested applicants need to complete this form and send a fairly recent picture of your baby (doesn’t need to be professional) to me. Deadline to apply is Monday, June 14th.

Side note, for random and mostly useless info about me, check out my recent interview on The Creative Mama.

Stay cool!
