It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas - Austin Photographer

A little Christmas cheer from our house to yours! 

I had a few spare moments tonight while the rest of the family was watching National Lampoons Christmas Vacation and I was able to get in some shots with my "real" camera of our Christmas decorations.  Most years I am running behind and life is crazy and the only pictures I ever get are with my little point and shoot camera.  I'm not sure what's different this year, but this week has been...relaxed.  It is wonderful to step back and enjoy my family and this season. 

Merry Christmas to all of you!!

These are some of our favorite ornaments and our Christmas cards.

Fisherman's Park - Bastrop Photographer

I met this lovely family at Fisherman's Park in Bastrop, Texas.  We had originally planned a morning session, but decided to switch to an evening session at the last minute to try to avoid a chilly morning.  I'm so glad we did!  The weather cooperated with us and we got some really lovely evening light. 

Y'all enjoy!!

PS - I am starting to like Bastrop more and more every time I visit the little downtown area.  Really cute shops, great places to eat, a pharmacy with a REAL ice cream counter and genuine small town feel.

Celebrating Life - Austin Child Photographer

I was so excited today to see the completion of a project that I started earlier this summer.  The Celebrating Life Calendar 2011 is available for purchase with all proceeds going to support the Austin Pregnancy Resource Center.   In addition to that, the center also decided to display all of the portraits in their entry way for everyone to see as they walk in the door.  I got to help hang them today and snapped this shot to share with you.  (Just a point and shoot camera, but you get the idea!)

If you are interested in supporting the center by purchasing a calendar, let me know.

 They are $10.00 (if you pick one up from me) or $12.00 with shipping.
