In full swing { Austin Holiday Photographer }

I’m very behind on blogging but I promise to be diligent and catch up so everyone can see the adorable children I’ve had the privilege of photographing this fall! In the last month, my photography sessions have taken me as far as Albuquerque, NM and as close as my favorite park here in Austin, TX. My calendar is ALMOST FULL for 2010, but I have a few dates open if anyone still wants to get in on the fun and book a full session for holiday portraits! Pictures truly are the best gifts for loved ones!!

This is the Q family, one of my favorite clients! Aren’t they cute??:)Their session was so fun!!

Baby W { Austin Newborn Photographer }

Meet the adorable F family. Big sister, C, has graced the front page of my blog more than once! She’s my go-to girl when I need a cute model for product photography.:)She’s now a princess in a house full of boys! They welcomed baby brother “W” about a week and a half ago and life with 3 under 4 is nothing short of busy! I brought Khannie of Laska Photography with me for the newborn session too! I’m excited to see what she captured during the session through her lens.:)Enjoy your sneak peeks! You are blessed!!
