{austin photographer} another link up

if you’re here via the I Pick Pretty link up, leave me a note so I can be sure to check you out. I’d love to check out what you’re wearing, also!

next wednesday, my little one starts mommy’s day out. to say my husband and I are getting sad at the thought of our first {and currently only} child being out of the house part time is an understatement. we’ve prepared her since the start of the year by hiring a twice weekly nanny who sang, played and fed my daughter while I was outside of the house running errands, grabbing groceries, working out, working, and or grabbing lunch with Daddy. miss T has never been under the care of anyone other than our immediate family or magda, so I will need lots of mocktails and chocolates to get through the first few weeks of drop off.

who’s with me?

oh, and more importantly, we are meeting the teachers, classmates and other parents this friday, and so I thought it’d be fun to join the ever-so-fab, Melissa @ I Pick Pretty, for her first installment of What to Wear… Where?this week’s theme is perfectly relevant – the open house day wardrobe. I’m keeping it casual, comfortable, and me by pulling existing pieces out of the closet.. click the logo at the bottom of this post to see what my fashion forward friend {and her blogger clique with equally chic followers} will wear and join in on the fun.

but before you do – say a prayer my sweet angel does not scare off any children or adults with her boundless energy later this week.

{austin maternity portraits} dana + jay

I was thrilled when Dana contacted me several weeks ago about a maternity session and would choose to have them done at one of my favorite austin locations. on the morning of their shoot, I was doubly blessed with the most magical natural light filtering through the trees and plants and two glowing parents who were extremely relaxed in front of the camera. {Love it when doing what I love is made easy!}

The couple recently babymooned in Hawaii and Dana’s sisters are hosting a baby shower in a few short weeks, so it looks like this couple is just about ready to welcome their sweet baby boy into their lives! I can’t wait to find out what they’ll name him.

Dana and Jay – thank you so much for allowing me to capture the time of just the two of you before life and marriage becomes more amazing. You are going to be wonderful parents!

{austin family photographer} there’s never a wish better than this

ten years from now, I hope the Comptons will look back and remember the tender memories of this special time in their lives – the sweetness of a newborn daughter, those gentle cuddles from a very proud big brother, the way baby sister lasted ninety minutes like a perfect angel for her first {but definitely not last} portrait session and their charming and entertaining son would’ve loved nothing more than to wrap a successful photo shoot with pizza sans polo, t-shirt, and jeans.

sweet, sweet angels…

{austin maternity portraits} glowing

I had the pleasure of photographing this glowing mommy-to-be {and her husband} yesterday, and couldn’t wait to share a sneak peek with you all. The sunrise was beautiful and her session was captured perfectly in the natural Austin light and setting.

{austin photographer} video bio

Over a year ago, I sought out several videographers to help me produce an online video that would allow me to connect directly with prospective clients in a personal way. After an unsuccessful attempt or two, my multi-talented friend Marta, film director, producer, and editor, approached me about the exact thing I was needing.

{Sidenote: As I type this post, my dear friend is enroute to Italy to accept the NociCortinfestival Award – so much hugs and love to her wherever in the world she is right now!! Check out her amazing work when you get a chance: http://www.sandboxhero.com}

She and another very talented friend, Hugh, followed me during a wedding last fall to bring you some behind-the-scene action and later did some interviewing which further proves I belong BEHIND the camera and never IN FRONT. I had so much fun creating this. Hope you all enjoy!
