Celebrating his last day as a 10-year old, I went out with this sweet kid and his mom to explore South Congress. We walked from mural to mural at sunrise (the Mr. Rogers one is my fav) and ended with lemonade at Jo’s.

This sweet family of four explored Katherine Fleischer Park and its 1855 Wells Branch Homestead for their Family Portrait session. A pet dragon, “Dragonite” and Halloween mask (so! scary!) each made an appearance. We perfected the non-tackling hug, had a chorus of animal sounds to get smiles and checked for fish by the bridge.

Thanks to the location scouting here and here – we went back downtown for this costumed portrait session. Whether lassoing on rooftops or charging ahead for justice, this Wonder Woman shoot was full of fun.

This family of five was a pleasure to work with for their summer portrait session. I brought ice packs, and they had a cooler of drinks to beat the 95+ heat. We met at the Circle C trails in South Austin and stuck to the shade. Whether balancing on high heels, giving lots of hugs or avoiding the sticky burrs/ant piles – the kids were so easy going and fun to photograph.

Can you spot the Three Blind Mice, Little Boy Blue, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Little Miss Muffet, Jack and Jill, and Jack jumped over the candlestick?

If so, it’s thanks to Color Inc, Sally Kate Photography and Chubby Cheek Photography for the large dose of inspiration, styled sets, creative editing and heartfelt advice I got this week. I’m excited to share my favorite pics from their Nursery Rhyme themed shoot out at Star Hill Ranch. Wardrobe from Rainey’s Closet.

Now who else wants to go play dress-up outside this Spring?

Taking advantage of the cooler Fall weather, I met up with Steph, Mark, Maya and Bryn at Central Market for their Holiday Portrait Session. The girls had fun throwing leaves and looking for ducks in the pond (there were no ducks).

Please enjoy this sneak peek of their portrait session.

Follow the Yellow Brick Road to Champions Park where you’ll find a sweet Dorothy skipping down the trail with Toto.

What a fun session! There was glitter and mini-pumpkins and one little girl excited to dance around in her Halloween costume. We were the hit of the morning walkers and bikers going by.

When rain and sickness pushed our Spring Portrait Session into a Summer Portrait Session, the Hoke Family were great sports. They explored trails, climbed trees, didn’t want to come down from trees and happily we never lost the balloon.

Due to rain delays, the bluebonnets were no longer around for the Stooksberry’s Spring Portrait Session. Luckily the blanket flowers were in full fielded bloom when we rescheduled. Cori, Daniel and Jacob (age 5) enjoyed exploring Balcones District Park – from the wildflowers to the creek.
