After having to reschedule, I finally got to visit the Talley family and photograph 12.5 month old Miss “L” - isn’t she beautiful in her tutu? She took a fall at daycare and bruised her forehead earlier in the week - but I bet you didn’t notice until I told ya! Photoshop makes boo boos all better. I’m working on the rest of your photo session! There are so many cute pictures!

Here’s a quick sneak peek for the Spain family. I had the privilege of photographing their young family last week - a 3 year old boy, an 18 month old girl and a 3 month old baby girl. A very blessed family! I’m working on all your other proofs - they will be ready by next week!

I’m proofing photos from THREE sessions in the last 8 days so bare with me if you’re still waiting on your sneak peeks - they are coming! But for now, I am taking a short break to show you highlights of our weekend trip to the pumpkin patch…

I was super excited when I saw my friend Andrea, her DH and her adorable twins at the same pumpkin patch! They live in College Station, but were here in Austin for a cancer walk-a-thon fundraiser! We lined up the babies and got some fun pictures!

Going through recent sessions tonight! Here’s a portrait of beautiful 22 month old Miss “C”. Her mom and I are good friends and I invited them over for an impromptu mini session last week! This was my favorite one from that day…

We’re having Our 1st Annual Costume Portrait Party!

We want to capture your little one’s cuteness-factor with a costume quick-take special. They’ll get to trick-or-treat with us a few days early with some goody bags AFTER their pictures have been taken! With quick-takes, space is limited and slots are filled on a first contact/first served basis. All photos will be taken on our white or black backdrops.

ANNOUNCING A CONTEST TOO! (Updated!)
There will be a prize for the best dressed little one that will be decided by my blog readers! I will post all the final costume photos and online poll on the blog on October 31st and you need to recruit all your friends and family to VOTE for your photo! If you win, you will win the hi-res images from your session! *Contest participation is optional - you don’t have to participate if you don’t want to*

It’s 12:45am so this post will be short. I’ll come back to write more tomorrow!

My photo session with the Fender family was a lot of fun! The boys are so handsome and full of life. They actually have 3 chickens in their suburban backyard! The boys wore themselves out trying to catch the chickens. (Those hens are fast!) During the session, I learned all about “Clone Troopers” (Star Wars) and their clever mom had the boys convinced that a Clone Trooper was inside my camera lens! Thanks to her, I got some great eye contact for a little bit while the boys were on the play gym! Enjoy your sneak peek!

I wanted to finish up Hunter’s 2 yr old portraits before I start proofing and posting sneak peaks of the 2 recent photo sessions I did this past weekend. Check back tomorrow for family of 3 cuuuute little boys!!

While I was setting up the portable “studio” for his 2 yr old photo shoot, Hunter climbed up onto the changing table and dumped half a NEW bottle of baby powder all over himself. Rather than clean it up and change him into something else for his photo shoot, I decided to just leave him like he was - all powdery and sweet smelling. It’s just where he is at this stage of life. Captured perfectly.

I’m always giddy when I get a decent shot of Hunter with good eye contact! This is a sneak peak of his 2 year old photo session. Wearing one of Daddy’s ties. More pics to come!
