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!

Leilani says:

Seriously? How are you so amazing?! The bottom right shot is to die for! Love that lighting!

Amber says:

I haven't seen you do many guy senior portraits, and I think the preview here looks awesome. You don't usually see many guys that seem to care about their senior portraits at all, so this is a refreshing change.

I admit that I wasn't quite prepared to get in the pool at our session today, but man, oh man, I didn't mind a bit (even the part about driving home in wet pants ;-).

a1_austin_maternity_pictures.jpg
Get ready because we've got a whole crop of sweet little newborns coming up over the next few months. I met up in downtown Austin this morning with several beautifully expectant mommies for our Xpressions sessions. It's so important to capture this incredible time during pregnancy for them. (Loved mama's stunning blue dress above and wow, can she pull off that hat or what??!)

a2_austin_maternity_photographer.jpg(Such a perfectly beautiful round belly!)

a3_austin_maternity_pregnancy_portraits.jpg(She was so cute! Her giggles had *me* giggling the whole time!)

I'm so glad they decided to do these maternity portraits...definitely something you won't regret!

Then, after all these baby bellies, I really needed a baby fix. Of course this baby isn't a "baby" any more, but oh, it's been wonderful watching her grow up over this past year:

a4_austin_kid_child_photographer.jpgHope you all enjoy your sneak peeks and I'll mail out your CD's this week!

Our LAST round of Xpressions for 2010 is November 7th and we only have 2 openings left for that. This will also be the last time non-clients can take part in Xpressions. Next year, Xpressions will only be open to clients who've had a Premium session within 1 year from the Xpressions date.

jean smith says:
