Helen’s 1st birthday – extended family portrait session

Helen’s 1st birthday – extended family portrait session

It was a beautiful drive out to Wimberley, Texas last weekend for Helen’s first birthday party and photo session. Nearby family was ready to celebrate with noise makers & party hats. Helen loved being around her older cousins (and that cupcake icing wasn’t too bad either!)

Carsyn – Holiday Portrait Session

Carsyn – Holiday Portrait Session

Now that the holiday cards have gone out, I can share the other half of Carsyn’s holiday portrait session (see Halloween photos HERE). We spent the morning at Mill Pond as she jumped, danced and posed.

Carsyn picked out the Christmas props herself – though the 6 foot inflatable Christmas Minnie Mouse was (sadly?) left at home.

This little lady loved the leaves! And we lucked out that the rain only drizzled on us and bit and then went away. She had a great time running around their front yard during our family photo session.

It was a beautiful drive out to Drippings Springs for this Holiday Portrait Session. And once again I got to photograph a cute baby in a hat (as you know I am very-pro-hat for your photo sessions). After getting some photos by the Christmas tree (and doesn’t Sam look lovely HERE), we headed to their backyard for the rest of the photos.

The Hoke Family – Newborn Portrait Session

I was so happy to meet Baby Mara – though we did have to reschedule our newborn session a few times since she had her own timetable for arriving. But once I did, what a treat! Such a calm and sweet baby – happy to be snuggled with her parents or in her doting big brother Aaron’s arms.

Say hello to Jennifer, Audrey and Patrick. Jennifer is the friend who first told me about Mill Pond – which now has been home to many family portrait sessions this holiday season. (Thanks for the insider Wells Branch tip!) If you know of a scenic gem in your neighborhood, please pass it on.

While we were there, Audrey was glad to go exploring – climbing over rocks, collecting acorns and sticks and wanting to greet all the dogs going by. And that adorable hat – can we all just exclaim how 1920s wonderful she looks!
