So I asked him if he wanted to take a look at this book. He said yes. And then, he very deliberately put on his reading glasses…all on his own…while his mommy and I tried to stifle our giggles. Seriously? Um yes.
We were *very* lucky to get a nice little break in the rain–just long enough to let us get through the past three days of Back-to-School Mini Sessions. And I have to admit, I pretty proud of our technology setup out here in the middle of the Texas wilderness while doing these shoots. I kinda feel like we’ve got our own Apple store going here (as in computers, but pun somewhat intended). However, all the technology in the world couldn’t save us from two big downfalls of the downpours:
- Mud. And lots of it. So much so, my van got stuck and had to be towed yesterday. Lovely.
- Bugs. And lots of them. So much so, my legs look like one great big giant welt. Lovely.
But when you have light like this? Well, there’s nothing a tow truck and some calamine can’t fix 😉
Oh. Yes. We. DID! Round one of the Back-to-School Mini sessions was OUT OF THIS WORLD! Here’s hoping the rain gives us a break for the rest of the outdoor sessions. Could these kids have been any cuter?!?! We don’t have any more openings left for this weekend/week of sessions, but, if you drop a line anyway, I’d be happy to put you on the list for possible future dates.
My girl has attitude, that’s for sure! Just testing out some fashion inspiration for the Back-to-School mini’s. Just a handful of openings left now!
Goodness gracious, these two are going to have a BEAUTIFUL baby! I mean, look at Miss “Angelina Jolie’s” eyes and lips for goodness sake? The thing that really struck me about their maternity session was how connected and in love these two were. Everywhere we walked, they were hand in hand. Sometimes I felt like I was peering in on their private little world. Thank you two for letting me peer in and I just can’t wait to meet this little baby of yours!
Side note #1 (for photogs): While I actually do about 95% of my photo processing in Lightroom (thanks to Photography Concentrate’s amazing tutorials…they’re having a sale, btw), lately, I’ve been loving my friend Leah Cook’s Matte Black and White action. Thought it would be fun to see this post in color and in Matte Black and White:
It’s so cool how her eyes pop both in color and in black and white!
Side note #2: Literally just a handful of openings left for the Back-to-School mini sessions.
Side note #3: My friend Leah, whom I mentioned above, is single-handedly responsible for convincing me to give in to my latest obsession that is Instagram. If you’ve follow me (pinkletoesoriginal), you will see that I’ve been getting a bit experimental with my newfound art medium. I’ve got a little something special in the works that I will introduce soon…I’m quite excited about this new project. At any rate, thanks, Leah, for giving me something else to do with my “spare” time ;-).
Side note #4: I didn’t show you my favorite image from this session up there ;-).
Let’s create the most unique school portrait your child may ever have and do something to give back to Austin at the same time!! I’m incredibly excited to be able to offer these sessions both at the Pinkle Toes Studio (outdoor set) and inside Gro Boutique at the Hill Country Galleria (if you haven’t been there to shop…oh, you must!). I’ve been working for MONTHS on the set and props…just wait until you see it all. Please contact me for full details (photogs…please use my photographer form if you are asking questions not related to scheduling a session):
Underwater photography absolutely fascinates me and I’ve been trying to experiment more with it. It is NOT easy, that is for sure, and I can’t say that I’m very good at it at this point. I did find I was much better w/ my iPhone (the last three shots were taken with the iPhone), but one “turns-out-it’s-not-so-waterproof case” and a brand new iPhone later, I’ve given up on aquatic iPhonography for now. I am going to keep trying with my big girl camera, however. I love how this recent boudoir image turned out and I believe I have a willing maternity model coming up soon. Wish us luck!
