Took Max & Miles location scouting at Northwest Park to check out their back field of wildflowers this weekend. The boys enjoyed running over the metal bridge, checking out all the different colors and types of flowers back there (and were open to being bribed when I requested they sit still for a few pics as well). 😉

If you have kids, add Sweet Eats Fruit Farm to your “places to visit” list. And if you’re a photographer who lives near Georgetown, TX – add it to your “Spring Locations” list. Besides blossoms and blossoms of pink flowers in their peach orchard (for the photographer in you), you can also visit a petting zoo, jumping pad, hay maze, zip line, climbing wall, tire swing, giant mound of dirt to dig in (for the kid in you) – and this is all besides the seasonal “pick your own” strawberries, nectarines and peaches (and pumpkins in the fall).
Took the boys location scouting at the new Downtown Central Public Library. Between the Butterfly Bridge, the new sculptures and the beautiful landscaping outside – it’s a great location for pictures – and then you go inside – swoon – stairs upon stairs upon stairs – a beautiful reading porch, a rooftop terrace, and lots of stylish places to sit.

I took the family location scouting on Main Street in Round Rock, TX. Max was full of ideas for poses – from the serious to the silly. On that same set of gray stairs he kept telling me – “you go here and I’ll be here” – and “now you go there – and I’ll look here” and so on. Makes my mama photographer heart proud. That and when I asked “What time is it? ” and the boys sang out “Golden hour!” as we headed back to the car.
If you’d also like to head downtown in Round Rock and eat ice cream/candy as part of your family photos, let me know 🙂

“Do you know of a good spot where we could take Halloween photos when my daughter dresses up like Wonder Woman this year?”
(so glad you asked)
This past weekend, I took my own superhero downtown to visit three spots: Seaholm Power Plant, Austin City Hall and the Long Center.
If you are wanting your own urban backdrop, I recommend all three.

Saturday Night.
Golden Hour.
Location scouting with the boys.
I have a few family photo sessions coming up at Champion Park on the Brushy Creek Trail in Cedar Park so we went exploring there once again. There was running and stick collecting and climbing (the usual). I had a hard time narrowing down what to share – so it’s a larger than usual lightbox of images. Let’s all go play in the light!
