Austin Mini Session | Back to School

It takes a special kind of family to strike an even distribution between fun and business. I can’t think of anyone who does it better than the Interianos. Check out one of my favorites of their brown-eyed beauties from a recent Austin mini session. OK, so maybe a little heavy on the fun part. . .

Their brood of chicks are THE most entertaining, sociable, animated party you’ll ever meet. And I’m not just talking about on camera. We see them most weeks after our kids swim and dance and those kids and our Tuesday dinners give me life!

The girls were smartly dressed in their new school uniforms and coordinating knee-high socks. Mom even brought their family bible to complete the look. And, for posterity, we captured Isa reading the Lord’s Prayer and precious Sofia’s praying hands. I hope they will cherish these resulting images for years to come.

Seems like it wouldn’t be a family shoot if one little brother didn’t insist on wearing his UT football jersey or pajamas. Of course Anynsley brought both in addition to “nice clothes”. SBI slipped into the latter without a single fuss, surprising us all. Just look at that handsome face eating our prop 🙂

So much love and luck to these two sisters who start school this morning! And a special thanks to Gerardo for joining us on short notice and getting me a few extra giggles as a result. We almost have to credit him for our families’ friendship.

A little back story: I met this sweet crew years ago as my family and I were headed to Belize for a holiday family session. They were off to El Salvador for their annual NYE celebration with theirs. Because United slammed the door in faces of my party of four as we approached our connecting flight, Gerardo graciously offered his Presidential passes. Thankfully, we were able to “relax” and enjoy their lofty guest privileges for six hours. For the next few months following, we continued running into each other in all the usual Westlake hot spots before finally trading numbers.

What a fun little Austin Mini Session to help me count down the last days of summer!

“I want to teach my students how
To live this life on earth,
To fact its struggles and its strife
And to improve their worth.

Not just the lesson in a book
Or how the rivers flow,
But to choose the proper path
Wherever they may go.

To understand eternal truth
And know right from wrong,
And gather all the beauty of
A flower and a song.

For if I help the world to grow
In wisdom and grace,
Then I feel that I have on
And I have filled my place.

And so I ask your guidance, God
That I do my part,
For character and confidence
And happiness and heart.”

Austin Family Photographer – Boys at the Beach

There’s little that makes Austin family photographer feel more at home than a Florida beach, a happy, fun-loving family, and her camera to capture it all on. Meet the Flakes. They travel from Austin to this gorgeous Alys Beach home each summer. Their home was right in a certain photographer’s sweet spot. (Photographers note: the location is quite popular among Austin families. If you’re traveling to 30-A next Summer, be sure to check my schedule and availability for summer beach sessions.)  Austin Photographer in Alys Beach

Mama Lina and Ziem met years ago while their kids played with trains at a bookstore. Add hashtag #totalmommoment. They have chatted ever since about doing a shoot. No wonder that our photographer-in-chief, a Florida native herself, was thrilled their plan finally came to fruition this summer, when both her family & the Flakes were vacationing in Florida at that. You can just feel that comfortable, airy feel of the beach in these shots as the family happily roamed their sandy backyard. Austin Photographer in Alys Beach

George would spontaneously bust out dance moves throughout the session. Big brother Henry looked for opportunities to show off his newly lost baby teeth. Austin Photographer in Alys Beach

Not only are the Flakes fortunate enough to
enjoy the most charming beachfront home where they did their shoot, the kids’s grandparents were able to accompany them there.
