I was more than just a little thrilled when I happened to drive by this super cool spot on my way home one day. I’d been trying to think of the PERFECT location for this family with two active little boys and wouldn’t you know it, this place had it all! Trucks, a school bus,…a dinosaur. Yeah. We were all a bit giddy…
…your idea is bad ass. Love it. Let’s light this candle.
That note from dad had me laughing until I cried. I knew this was going to be a killer session!
But wouldn’t you know it, the kids weren’t nearly as excited about the dinosaur as we were. In fact, they were pretty much terrified and we could barely get them to go near it. We tried and tried and tried, but we only managed a couple of shots. After all my years of doing this AND as a mom, you would think I would understand Murphy’s Law is king when it comes to the wee ones ;-). So, I let my dino dreams sour and we opted instead for drawing, playing on the playground, making music, trucks, bike riding, and just exploring the area. I happen to LOVE those images so much more than anything I was imagining with the dino. He was silly looking anyway 😉

I’ve been working with this family since that young man was just a babe…he wasn’t even walking yet! We were so excited to get together in downtown Austin for a fun, hip, urban, cityscape session. But as we met up, the clouds started rolling in (stealing my beautiful light) and the wind whipped around us like crazy. At one point, I’m pretty sure we were able to lean into the wind without falling over. I don’t know how mama managed to still look completely perfect during the crazy windstorm, but somehow she did. Now we have to start planning what we’re going to do this year for their annual family session…wheels turnin’.
