Small Town Fun - Bertram Child & Family Photographer

Well, it has been a little while since I posted. We had a little excitement in the Pope house. Our girls had the H1N1 flu. Luckily, my husband and I seem to have escaped without getting sick but I of course rescheduled all of the sessions I had planned while they were sick. First, so I could take care of them and second so that I didn't share their germs. Thankfully, they seemed to have a very light case and they recovered pretty quickly. We are definitely glad to have that over with!

Things are going to be pretty busy around here in the coming weeks. Lots and lots of sessions scheduled, so check back often because there will be many fun things to share. Starting with this sweet family. This mama and I go way back... back to about 9 years old, I believe. (Was it earlier than that, Becca??) It is so fun and surreal to photograph her family - all THREE of her kids. I can't believe we are all grown up, married with kids. It is wonderful. Adalyn loves playing with her kids and was calling out their names as I edited their pictures.

I hope you enjoy your sneak peek and I look forward to taking your family pictures for years to come. Love you guys!!

Lovely! - Cedar Park & Leander Child Photographer

Yesterday was a special playdate. I got to do portraits for MY mom's group.

Ladies, it was so fun taking pictures of all of your kids. I hope you enjoy these!

I look forward to getting to know you all better and many more playdates to come.

I LOVE Fall - Cedar Park Family Photographer

Here is a sneak peek of my session from this past weekend. It is so fun to see the difference in personality between siblings, between oldest and youngest, boys and girls. This big sister was happy to pose for my camera and do whatever I put her up to and little brother would pretty much have none of it! He didn't fall for anything I pulled out of my bag of tricks. Maybe that's what I get for taking him to a duck pond and then expecting him to sit still. The ducks were WAY more interesting than anything I could do. :) We still managed to get some great shots - with or without his help and I can't say I really blame him.

Happy Tuesday!

PS - Did I mention that I LOVE the weather this time of year??

Halloween Playdate - Austin Child Photographer

Happy Halloween! Here's a treat for all of the moms from the Halloween playdate I attended this week. Lots of cute kiddos and creative mommies!

Circle C Park Playdate - Austin Child Photographer

Playdates are a whirlwind, but they are also a lot of fun. Portraits of 12 kids in about an hour and a half. Whew! I enjoy playdates because the kids are in their element - it is usually an environment where they are really comfortable and it is easy for me to get the kids to play with me. Genuine smiles and joy - that is always my goal! I have been known to crack some pretty tough cookies. A couple of these kiddos are prime examples. =)

Happy Friday everyone!
