Fellowship Bible Church VBS Program - Austin Photographer

This past week our church, Fellowship Bible Church, had their Vacation Bible School  (VBS) program.  The youngest children that can attend VBS are 3 years old, so Adalyn wasn't able to attend this year.  I can't wait until next year when she will be able to go - this stuff is right up her alley.  She will love it. 

I attended the family fun night at the end of the week where all of the kids got to show off the songs and verses they had learned throughout the week.  I snapped a few shots that I thought I would share with you.  I'm sure they were all totally worn out, but it looks like they had a lot of fun!

My Favorite Teen Picture - Austin Senior Photographer

This week on I Heart Faces the theme is teens.  Whenever I think about the senior portraits and teen pictures I've taken, there is one that sticks out in my mind as my favorite.  It is a shot I took of my brother just a couple of months after I got my first serious digital camera.  It isn't perfect, but I love that I captured him at this stage - he looks so much like my mom and my dad in this picture.  I am thankful to have this memory cemented in "film" so that I wont ever forget and I can show his kids someday.  He was a good kid back then and he's a great man now.  He appeared pretty recently on my blog.  Because he's GETTING MARRIED!! Crazy how time flies. :)

Anyway, so enjoy this little flash back and if you some extra time stop by I Heart Faces to see what everyone else is entering.

Patriotic Playdate - Austin Child Photographer

**Special Offer**

Patriotic Playdate

We are going to put a new spin on the portrait playdate session.  I am going to host a playdate for my clients and give you the opportunity to have your kiddos pictures taken in their 4th of July outfits.  If you are like me, you will buy a cute little red, white, and blue outfit for your little ones - they'll wear it once - and then it will disappear into the back of the closet.  So, what do you say?  Why don't we make it TWICE that they get to wear their outfits? :)

Join me for a playdate at the park.  The kids can play and I will take portraits of each of them in their patriotic duds.

When: Tuesday July 6th 9:30-11:30 (time may vary due to # of participants)

Where:  Olson Meadows Park on Brushy Creek Rd.

What: Bring your kiddos in their red, white, and blue outfits for a little portrait session. The cost is $10.00 per child and you will receive one 5X7 print of each child as well as the opportunity to order more if you so desire.  Space is limited and reserved on a first come first served basis, so let me know if you are planning to attend.  Snacks will be provided.

Precious - Austin Newborn Photographer

Hi friends!  Sorry it has been so quiet around here lately.  The last week was a busy one for me.  We celebrated both my birthday and my anniversary.  There was a camping trip, a girls night out, and a boating excursion.  We ate ALLLLLLL kinds of yummy food. I got many, many fun presents - including a new camera. (YIPEE!!)  It was a really fun week of celebration.  I am so thankful - so very thankful.

So in the mean time, this little pumpkin who made her last appearance on my blog HERE, was busy celebrating her first week of life.  If she doesn't look like a newborn, it's because she surprised everyone and came in weighing a solid 10 lbs 1 oz.  She is absolutely precious and so very loved by her big brothers (as well as mom and dad of course).

You know I LOVE baby toes!! :)  I hear these toes bear a striking resemblance to someone else's...

Love this shot. 

Love how you can see mom stroking her hair and how baby girl has her fingers curled around mom's sleeve...

Congratulations you guys!!!

Waiting - Austin Family Photographer

Less than a week to go before this family welcomes their new little one.

Congratulations you guys!!

Brothers - Georgetown Family Photographer

This is part 1 of 2 sneak peeks for this family.  I just couldn't narrow it down any more so I decided to make it two sneak peeks for them.  Our session took place on the campus of Southwestern University in Georgetown.  It is SUCH a beautiful campus, there was no shortage of places to find good light and fun backgrounds. 

We did take a small detour off of the campus though because - I had the shots below in the back of my mind and really wanted to see if I could get them.  I was excited to see a train track right next to the school.  These guys are always up for anything, we've had a lot of fun sessions together (like this one, this one, and this one) and I just LOVE that they will wander around after me and give anything try. 

This family is getting ready to welcome a new addition in just about a week - Mom was an ABSOLUTE trooper walking all over the campus with me!  I can't wait to come back and show you a few maternity shots.  You can also look forward to another session with them after baby arrives.... this time with a little bit of pink added to the mix.  :)
