Back in October I went to Dallas for the weekend, and fit in a few photography sessions while I was there.  I was excited to have the opportunity to photograph my long time friend and her family of boys!  Enjoy! :)

Catching Up and a Sweet Deal for 2012!! Austin, TX Maternity & Newborn Photographer

All the orders are out, Christmas cards are sent and now it is time to get back to blogging!

I absolutely loved this baby boy's newborn session.  I was so glad to first go to their home to take maternity photos, because I was able to see the dad's passion for music, and his amazing guitar collection.  I knew exactly what the newborn session would be about. :) The mom even made the cutest guitar mobile, that hung over the crib, which are all mini, felt, guitars from his collection.

Sweet! Austin, TX Newborn Photographer

Really enjoyed my morning spent with this beautiful newborn and her two big brothers.  They were so sweet and kind to their little sister, she is a lucky little girl.

Cousins! - Austin, TX Extended Family Photographer

I love extended family sessions!  I think it's so important to go that extra step, and get the whole family together, to have these memories to look back on.  I especially love the photographs of the cousins.  I try and photograph my own kids with their cousins as often as I can.  I love documenting the closeness between the  families.  Here is one of some precious cousins from last Friday's session.
** I promise I will come back and blog more than 1 from all of these sessions. :)

Love-McKinney, TX Kids Portraits

We are back from a great weekend spent with dear friends!  We had such a great time catching up, and watching my beloved Bears defeat the Red Raiders, in the giant Cowboy stadium.  We were even able to sneak in an awesome family photo session into our busy weekend.  Here is just one, out of many, that I love of this sweet family.

Five- Austin, TX Birthday Photographer

Today my little guy is five years old...

 Finn, it is hard to remember life without you, you have brought so much joy, laughter and loudness into our lives.   Right now you are really into math and recognizing numbers.  You are starting to read and are SO excited every time you figure out a word.  Your sister calls you "Sin" because she can't say the letter "F".  You understand every word that she says, even though most people can't yet.  Your favorite game to play is Angry Birds on your daddy's IPad. You even have a stuffed animal Angry Bird that keeps you company at night.  Your favorite shoes are your rain boots, even though it hardly rains in Texas.

 Your curls and your eye lashes turn heads every day.

 You LOVE to tell knock knock jokes.
Me: Knock Knock
Finn: Who's There
Me: Orange
Finn: Orange who
Me: Orange you glad it's your birthday?

And, when you grow up you want to be a fire fighter.

You still suck your thumb and pick your nose.... all things that will probably change before you head into kinder. But my favorite thing about you right now is you say "I love you" every chance you get and want to give big hugs to everyone.  We love you so much, happy 5th birthday big guy!!
