CATEGORY birthday

Happy Father’s Day to my sweet husband, and happy 4th birthday to the best little Father’s Day gift ever!

Miss K is turning 25 and celebrating in style! To downtown east Austin for a “Top Model” photo session, as she kept calling it with a giggle, and custom invitations will start things off right. Congrats on the milestone, and here’s to an awesome party!

A year goes by so quickly, and it’s incredible to watch baby McD grow from a wriggling newborn to a laughing, running toddler! Babies grow so fast, it’s like watching mold in a petrie dish (except a lot cuter!) This family shoot was the culmination of a year’s portfolio from maternity, newborn, holiday card, 6 month, to 1 yr. Happy first birthday little man!

A beautiful 11-year on her birthday! At this age they look so grown up, and they look so young, like miniature adults. That pre-braces smile crosses the bridge between woman and girl better than anything else.

Often photographers report that capturing non-walkers is the most fun and easy stage because they stay put! But I just love walking after a newly land-legged toddler exploring her world from a completely different angle. This photo conveys that sense of curious discovery and motion, of life happening in front of the camera rather than for the camera. The biggest challenge is finding a location with enough beautiful backdrops to allow free wandering with no cars or strangers corrupting the shot!
