White Sisters

These girls were so much fun to work with! Sarah and I went abroad together this summer studying photography, so when she asked me to shoot them I was so excited! We walked up and down 6th street, and poking our heads in some alleys and playing in traffic. Haha it was challenging getting the crosswalk shots in 5:00 traffic, but here is my favorite, along with some others...

Koch Family Portraits

What a styling family! The Koch family is so sweet, and as you can see by the pics, they are so fun! We walked and drove around Austin finding some fun spots for their Urban Portrait Session.

Miss Riley

This sweetie has been in my care the last 4 days, we have so much fun together. She is at an age (9 months) where she is constantly mimicking. She crawls everywhere, can stand on her own, and took her first steps in front of me! We go on walks, where we listen to JOURNEY on my iphone...she likes to sing along as she is flirting with the runners that pass us on the trail. Here are a couple pics from our last play date!

November Portrait Day!

This November Portrait Day was a success for sure! Lots of families came out and we had alot of fun. Here are some favorites from the day...

Resting

Today I heard on the radio that only 5% of people in the U.S. take time for themselves, and most, (I forgot the actual statistic), feel guilty about it. Well, I must admit I am in the minority of this one. I regularly lay in my hammoch listening to Pandora, go on walks, hang out in book stores, or buy myself Central Market Roses.
They also made a neat application. They talked about how God doesn't ask us to rest, but commands it, and how sometimes we act like toddlers, refusing to admit we need rest, but becoming more and more fussy until we finally pass out, or are forced to rest.
Well it looks like this is one lesson I havn't had to learn the hard way :)

Oma and Macie

Such a great, relaxing, and productive weekend! They were all such troopers shooting engagement, bridals, and these cute pics in one weekend! Macie Claire is as sassy and cute as ever, and had us laughing all weekend! I was introduced to the Fort Worth Stockyards (awesome!) and enjoyed a great steak dinner! Jumping on the trampoline, roasting smores, or reading books, I came back to Austin so refreshed and excited to go through thousands of pictures :)

Silly Sisters

Another sweet day babysitting, this time for a family that I haven't seen in 18 months. And when the youngest of the 4 is, well, 18- months old, that's a big change :)
I played outside with these very imaginative playful girls on the play ground for a few hours, and they had me rolling on the ground the whole time.
As we walked from one side of the playground to the other, one of these precious girls says under her breath, "...I'm the prettiest butterfly of all" haha totally random, she is sooo funny.
As I swung her younger sister, she would sing, "Give me an 'underdog' so I can ride the pony with my chocolate bar to the fairy land where I will see Momma Mia...", this went on non-stop for about 10 minutes...again, I was trying to contain myself.
