Look at these ladies!!! Wowza!!!! Something else that we’ve all had a lot of fun with at the Pinkle Toes Photography Workshops is location scouting in various places around Austin. The added bonus is that our photogs get to serve as our “models” during those outings. It’s such a great experience to be behind the camera for a change and getting a couple of headshots isn’t half bad either 😉 Every now and then, they’ve been able to convince me to stand in:
Oh dear. Not sure what was so funny, but hey, props to Shona for getting me in my natural goofy state.

We still have just a few openings left for the workshops. Take advantage of them now. No promises that there will be any more ;-).
P.S. When I look at everyone together like this, I start to get pretty nostalgic. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know each and every one of these talented women. Some how, some way, we’ve got to figure out a class reunion one day…

When you meet someone who is about to begin a life on her own and you notice that she is insanely beautiful and confident and intelligent, you have to wonder where she’ll go? What great things is she going to do with her life? Does she even realize how amazing she is and how many wonderful opportunities are going to come her way?
And then I start to wonder if I feel this way about *other* people’s children, how in the world am I going to survive when it’s time for my own birdies to leave the nest?

There’s not a single thing I didn’t LOVE about working with these two. *Almost* makes me change my stance on not photographing weddings. Almost…
Would you believe those outdoor pics were taken off the highway by some plain ol’ concrete blocks? Just goes to show that with the right light and the right subjects, anything can become beautiful!
FYI: Pinkle Toes will be closed 4/18-4/24. We will return calls/e-mails, etc. starting Monday, April 25th.

Tonight was so surreal. See that little guy sitting on dad’s lap? Yeah, this was him two years ago. And now he has a new brother that could possibly be his twin. And then to see how the older two kids (I use “kids” for lack of a better term, I promise, G) have grown into handsome/beautiful young adults. I just kept having to rub my eyes and pinch myself. In mom’s words when I asked her to describe her vision for the session: “…document where we are. son taller than his mom,
but not dad. daughter getting so pretty and surviving as the lone girl.
j being crazy. baby being snuggly.” Is this for real? Is this what I’m going to be staring at in a few years myself (son taller than his mom???). Wow. I’m so not ready for that. But they are. And they take everything in with such grace and love. They set a pretty darned good example–well, minus the little run-in with a rogue stroller and a sidewalk. Yeah, other than that…pretty amazing.

I thoroughly enjoyed working and chatting with her tonight. Such an exciting time in her life as she finishes up high school and ventures off to a BIG city (as in New York big) to start following her dreams. But the more we talked, the more I realized that as much as things have changed since I was in high school, much more than that has stayed exactly the same. And that’s really cool….
…because it makes me feel like I’m not quite as as old as I actually am. 😉

Had to laugh: we rescheduled her senior portraits due to freakishly strong winds only to end up on a day that was just as windy ;-). But you know what? It worked out for us just lovely, I think.

I’ve worked with him several times over the past few years, but I really felt like he let me into his world this time and I think we both had fun.
