I hadn't been to this part of Austin in, gosh, 2 years? And eep...it was actually a little scary, I'm sad to say. I LOVE my city, but I'm not sure what happened here. Regardless of the horrible parking, the noise, the people, and the general disorder, they stuck with me and we got absolutely fantastic and super fun pics of their family. This is definitely going down as a fav session!
I *knew* we were perfectly matched the second I read over her Client Form. She had a unique and specific vision for her senior pictures and it was as if she could read my mind. I've been dying to do something like this for such a long time so you'll have to indulge me while I share nearly every image from her session. I am proud of this one for sure and she should be, too. She carried it off perfectly!
[Most images shot at the wonderful, mysterious, beautiful amazing Eponymous Garden house. I am forever grateful to Debora and Lorne there who have been so gracious and accommodating to me and my crazy session ideas.]
Attention Class of 2012: I can squeeze in two more senior sessions in April if you want to have your images back in time for graduation announcements, etc. Contact me ASAP to get the session information!
Class of 2013? It's definitely not too early to start thinking about and to schedule your own senior portraits. Take a look through my gallery and if you think we're a good match, let's talk!
In all my years as a photographer (and 5+ years feels like a long time to me since the second longest job I've ever had was for 2 years), I've *never* worked with a child *this* happy. The boy was literally grinning from ear to ear the second he woke up and he just played and giggled and had me wrapped around that chubby little pinky the whole time. Sigh...
I LOVE casual, relaxed, family photo sessions at home like this. Makes me think I need to shop around for another family session for us soon ;-)
From the minute I set foot in their home, I felt so grounded and peaceful. They have the most amazing house and garden and play areas set up for the kiddos...and they're doing a very good job of keeping it earthy and organic. I quite enjoyed the afternoon there...especially the time spent watching the girls play--they were all so comfortable and relaxed and loving.
...and then sitting around chatting about the miracle of her birth during her newborn session. Maybe it's because her parents couldn't be any sweeter. Maybe it's because her grandma was so overcome with emotion when taking pictures with her we could hardly take pictures. Maybe it's because this baby girl is so danged adorable. I'm not sure what it is, but this session gets me...big time...each time I flip through the images.
