Archive for 'Austin Senior'

Wow. I’m a little behind on this, huh? I have to say I had a tough time choosing because there have been so many amazing families this fall with some really unique images. I figure that since I’m so late in posting this, I could pick more than one for each month.  [What is Pinkle’s Pic of the Month?]

So, here are the winners for October:

(hey…just noticed there’s a theme there….)

And then, here are the winners for November:

We’ve got one more round of winners to come at the end of December and then in January, it’s voting time again! I can’t wait to see what happens this year!

Congratulations to all of the finalists!

Fall always has been and always will be my most favorite time of the year. Driving home from my session tonight, there was the most incredible purple and gold and auburn sunset (too bad the session was over) and I thought before we get swept away into the winter holiday season, perhaps we could appreciate the beauty of fall for a second. I decided to put together a collection of my favorite images from this fall so that maybe when we’re all sweltering in the summer next year, we can look back here and feel fresh, and crisp, and warm, and cool, and fuzzy, and hopeful, and thankful all over again…

…because I’m not convinced she realizes just how lovely she really is.

[What does this mean?]

And more images from her session last month:

pom_austin_teen_senior_photographer.jpgSee? Lovely.

austin_hays_high_school_senior_portraits.jpgOkay. I’m going to point out the obvious here. He’s a natural. Duh. There. I said it. I don’t often get to photograph senior boys so it was a lot of fun getting to work with him. And even if he thought I was completely goofy (which I am), he was very patient with me and was willing to do whatever. Thanks, T! It was great to meet you and I hope you’re making the most out of your senior year!!!

Technically, this was her senior portrait session and her beau was just “the help.” But seriously, would you pass up the chance to capture this sweetness? I think not.

Thanks, T, for being such an awesome help at the session and for being such a good sport!

She is one of the most naturally beautiful young ladies I know. She takes after her mama, I think. I know it’s taxing to do a session on a school night, but I’m very honored you came out to play tonight.

She has a smile that beams straight from her heart and a personality that simply can’t be contained. We had so much fun darting from here to there exploring around downtown. I love the vintage inspiration in her clothing.

We had to book it to catch the sunset (I tend to get distracted by pretty buildings and great clothes), but we made it…barely. A special thanks to her grandmother for trekking out into the field with us to help hold the light, in spite of the very real threat of fire ants (and I have the bites to prove it).

So far, she’s been the only senior who chose to get up before sunrise to take her senior pictures. And let me tell you, I think we’re both glad she did. Can you even believe this beautiful light and check out her wardrobe choices?! Well done!

She was the sweetest person in the world to work with and I had so much fun. Her beau even showed up to help out. Little did he know he’d be dragged into the photo session, too 😉 Here he his helping me take a test shot for my OCF:

T_austin_pflugerville_senior_pictures.jpgIn fact, those two were so darned cute together, I ended up practically doing a whole other mini session just for them. Those pics to come in part 2!

I don’t often get to work with senior boys, but this was great! Pretty much everything he did was perfect and the light seemed to follow him around like a halo. Had a great session tonight, T, and I can’t wait to show you the rest of the pics!

This is what she said about her vision for her senior pictures:

“I don’t know what regular senior portraits look like, but I want mine
to be full of laughter and look like I’m having fun. Not sitting by a
tree with my letter jacket on, like everyone else :P”

Now that made my day and I couldn’t wait for her session. She did not disappoint. Love her hair (I so wish I could pull that off) and loved the sparkle of her eyes. Indeed, I think she looks like she’s having fun. I know I was.
