Micah is 1!

I was so excited to get to spend some time capturing all the sweet little smiles and fun expressions of little Micah. He has such a big personality for such a little guy, and he is just sooooo adorable (obviously!!)! Even though he was sick the day of our scheduled shoot, he managed some smiles for the camera. Thanks sweet Micah!

Rob, Becky, Allison & Kate!

I always look forward to the annual fun photo shoot with Rob, Becky, Allison and Kate! Not only are they all the most photogenic ever, but they're also so much fun to hang out with....even when several members of the fam are trying to kick the flu. Thanks so much for hanging in there and for the fun day! Can't wait until next year! :)

Even at a young age, Allison knows the importance of a pair of fabulous shoes!

Heather and Peter are married!

The sun shone brightly and the breeze was gentle and fresh. I'm sure that the out of town guests were wondering what all the fuss had been about Texas' crazy weather because this day, Heather and Peter's wedding day, was the most perfect! The day was blessed from the first pre-nuptial hug that was exchanged that happy day to the last!

They exchanged vows at First Presbyterian Church and their reception at the beautiful Vista at Seward Hill.

Heather and Peter we're thrilled for you, and we're thankful to have shared in such a special day with you! Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. S!





The gorgeous bride! We only had about fifteen minutes to capture Heather's bridal portraits, and the sanctuary was off limits. So, we found some beautiful light in the church playground.

















The handsome groom!











You know it's a party when they break out the orange julius! yummmmmm!















Have I mentioned that Heather and Peter are fabulous dancers? They had a special little number all worked up for their guests!

















Tiffany was the wedding coordinator extraordinaire! You can tell that she makes sure the day is running smoothly, and the party is hopping!

Baby Braden!

Sweet little man Braden has made his grand entrance into both this world and the hearts of anyone who has met him. He is such a little sweetie, and I was honored to shoot his newborn photos last month. Chris and Heidii let's do it every month, ok?! :) Thanks for spending the day with us!! We loved every minute!



Doesn't it look like he just told the funniest joke...















Heidii is always prepared with the cutest of everything! Look at this cute little cowboy....he's bringing adorable back!







This shot wasn't as easy as it looks! Braden might have a future Olympic career in the foot-launched ring competition. ;)







Does this remind anyone else of Charlie Brown? So, so, so cute!

Baby Benjamin!

Time flies!!! I cannot believe how fast sweet little Benjamin has grown! (Don't worry. I won't break into my rendition of "Sunrise, Sunset.") ;) He is such a sweetie, and sooooooo adorable. (Can you believe how cute he is?!) Thanks so much for the fun day baby Ben!





Guess how old Ben is...

Heather and Peter are engaged!

Heather and Peter are two of the sweetest souls you'll ever meet, and it was definitely no accident when their paths crossed. Their passionate faith, love for others and zeal for life are sweetly contagious, and Mike and I are so thrilled to share in their special day...in just a few short weeks! We had a blast capturing their engagement photos in downtown Austin on a crisp, October day.

Congratulations Heather and Peter!









Heather and Peter looooooove to dance!



They mostly prefer swing dancing, but I guess they'll venture into other genres when the mood strikes....



OK, now you're just showing off, Heather! ;)

Kelly and Allen are married!

Kelly and Allen live in D.C., but are true Texans at heart so they had a destination wedding in Whitney! They exchanged vows on the WB Ranch, and every detail was truly western-chic right down to the longhorns that made a special appearance to graze during the reception. Mike and I loved being a part of such a special day!































































Sweet Father/Daughter dance!









Congratulations Kelly and Allen!!

Jana and Daniel: Wedding

Jana and Daniel are married, and Mike and I loved sharing the day with two people with such sweet spirits! It's not much of a groundbreaking observation, but it's easy to notice when many of the common things shared by the individual souls of a couple are tangible: hobbies, favorite sports team, volunteer work. Jana and Daniel, no doubt, have a million of those fun and important things in common. In fact, they both happen to be medical students with a practice focus in pathology. BUT, the most obvious shared trait that we noticed that day was the way they looked at one another with tender adoration and sweetness. Absolutely perfect and one of the reasons this job is so amazing!

















Jana, you are stunning!









Daniel was all smiles!







Daniel was sooooooo moved when he saw Jana! I love it!















I love ring shots, and I'm not afraid to show it!











These little ones were so patient waiting for cake....even though it surrounded them. ("Cake, cake everywhere...and not a bite to eat!") ;)













Congratulations, Jana and Daniel!!

Becky and Russell are married!

In the shade of the tall, proud oak trees at Angel Springs Event Center, Becky and Russell recently exchanged their long-awaited wedding vows as witnessed by the teary eyes of their friends and family who had traveled from near and far. Both Becky and Russell have such sweet, gentle spirits, and it's so exciting to think about all the ways they'll bless others through their marriage. I know Mike and I were so blessed just to capture the moments when their marriage came to be.

Martha and her fabulous team from Your Very Own Fairy Godmother coordinated the day so that everything was pleasant, beautiful, and right on time!

We love you, Becky and Russell! Just let us know when you're ready to start booking those baby sessions. (<--that was for your mommas!) ;)

Gorgeous flowers by Bouquets of Austin.









Martha kept us all on time with a smile!















































For this next photo, I need to tell you that I climbed up a million foot ladder to capture the spread of beautiful wedding guests. Fun times!



Have I mentioned that we love mariachis?!











The memory of this Simon Lee cake brings me to my knees in prayer for the ability to remain steadfast on my diet! It was so, so, sooooo delicious!



Guess where Russell went to school :)



















sweet dad!





sweet mom!













Congrats Becky and Russell!!

Kelly and Allen are engaged!

Kelly and Allen are engaged and soooooo in love! They came down from D.C. for a fun engagement session all around downtown Austin. Kelly is a fabulous photographer (no pressure!) ;), so we knew we would have a ton of fun during their session. Kelly and I met about a year ago over coffee/hot chocolate to talk about photography, business, cameras, and other nerderies. I was thrilled to hear the news that she was engaged and that I'd get to document her big day! Huge honor!! :)

Kelly and Allen, thanks so much for such a fun session! Can't wait to see you soon!!



Kelly is a knock-out!



as is her handsome groom.

































Somebody is gorgeous!!













Allen was working out his Magnum look throughout the session! I think he might be able to give lessons for those interested.



Funnnnn!
