10 years later…

I loved the concept of this shoot. Mom and Dad wanted to celebrate their 10 year anniversary with a photo shoot in their wedding attire that included their 3 adorable children. I loved the idea! We had a lot of fun putting this together and the kids had a lot of fun too. More photos to come from this shoot…but here is the one that made front page of the Christmas card!

Just a few takes (and out-takes) from this years holiday shoot with my precious girls. Despite their being very uncooperative that day, we did manage to get some sweet shots.

{The Luckiest}

We just got back to Round Rock from our summer family vacation on Galveston Island. Excited about some different scenery than the Austin locations I am used to shooting at, I took the opportunity to do a beach shoot with my own two little ones. Having a photographer for a mother, they don’t always want to play model for me…but both enjoyed playing in the sand and hunting for seashells. It was a perfect morning on the beach!

When I bought these rompers for the studio a year ago, I kept envisioning them as vintage swimsuits….thus became the inspiration for this shoot. Even though it was Texas beaches, I wanted a Cape Cod feel to it. I love the way it turned out!

For some reason, when I am editing a shoot, a song lyric or scripture verse will pop in my head that seems to describe the way the shoot makes me feel. With this one, it was “Luckiest” by Ben Folds Five

I don’t get many things right the first time,
In fact i am told that a lot.
Now i know all the wrong turns ands tumbles and falls
Brought me here.
Now it was right before the day that i first saw your lovely face.
Now i see it everyday

And i know
That i am,
I am,
I am the luckiest.

I love you more
Than I have ever found a way to say to you.

What a busy life it is with three children! Mom definitely has her plate full with a growing adolescent, a toddler, and a newborn baby. Something tells me there is a lot of team sports and at home wrestling matches this family’s future.

Thank you for allowing me to preserve this precious time in your lives, Kari!

{Give Her Faith}

Every mother’s prayer
Every child knows
Lead her to a place
Guide her with Your grace
To a place where she’ll be safe

I pray she finds Your light
And holds it in her heart
As darkness falls each night
Remind her where You are

Every mother’s prayer
Every child knows
Need to find a place
Guide her with Your grace
Give her faith so she’ll be safe
-Celine Dion

I just had to post a couple photos of the little doll baby I have been editing this evening. I am a sucker for little “sprig” ponies on little girls….Can’t wait to show Mom and Dad the rest!

And now I am off to bed for an early morning drive to Bryan/College Station for a Bridal Portrait. Definitely going to be making a stop at Blue Baker and Sweet Eugene’s before heading back to Austin….

A little behind in posting this one, but what a sweet session this was! Big Brother was so sweet with his new baby sister and I love that we got to surprise dad with an awesome gallery wrap series for his office! Thanks for modeling my new peacock baby skirt, Miss S!

These two aren’t sisters, but they are close to it! These are just a few shots of my oldest and her Best “big girl” Friend, Jordyn. Oh, and Orange Bear of course…

{Girly Girls…} Austin Child and Family Photographer

I have been photographing this family for several years, and one thing is for sure…I can always count on super sweet girls and great clothes! These little divas are always well dressed and each one has their own unique personality.

Just a few of my favorite photographs of this adorable family…

{Brothers…}-Round Rock Kids Photographer

Paulo gets the Focal Point’s “Dad of the Year” award for 2010!

This shoot started a little differently than most. Usually, it’s mom coming to the planning session, choosing the wardrobe, and making sure the kids come happy and ready for their photo shoot. But in this case, Dad came to me wanting to pull off the ultimate gift for his wife! Together we planned the shoot and Dad orchestrated everything for the boys without any help from mom! He even included the perfect touch of their favorite stuffed animals.

The shoot went off perfectly, and I loved how the photos captured these two sweet little boys relationship with one another. I could tell from the moment I met them that they loved each other and that Little Brother wanted to be just like Big Brother.

It was the best surprise any mother could get on Christmas morning when Dad pulled out the new custom framed wall portrait for above their mantel!!

When you get two 4 year olds in a photo shoot, you know to expect the unexpected! These two kept me on my toes, but having a daughter exactly the same age, I was totally used to that! This was my 3rd year to document this family and I look forward to continuing to watch them grow over the years. We did several awesome wall pieces from this shoot including a 54 inch gallery wrap for the breakfast room and a gorgeous custom framed piece for Miss N’s room.

{Rockin’ Baby Elliott}- Austin Baby Photographer

Meet Baby Elliott. This precious little newborn is Baby #2 for my BFF, Lisa. He and Big Sis Zoe are just 14 months apart, so Mom and Dad have a busy next couple of years ahead of them. My own girls love this family and have affectionately named their own baby dolls, Zoe and Elliott. The first photo on the line up is the one we did for a 20×30 gallery wrap for his Rock-N-Roll nursery. It looks AMAZING!!

{Its just not fair…} Austin/ Round Rock Portrait Photographer

Seriously! Can this family be more perfect?? Little Hayden is such a heart breaker and always charms me every time I photograph him. His mom and dad are just the perfect couple and as sweet as can be…and Mom is just a natural beauty with such poise in front of the camera.

This is my second time to shoot this family this season. First Mom’s side of the family in Dallas a few weeks ago, and now Dad’s side of the family here in Austin. I told Kristi she is going to have her work cut out for her with TWO amazing sessions to work off of. We are going to have to do an album to get it all in (or buy a bigger house:)

{Amazed…} Austin Child and Family Photographer

admin — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 07:02:17 +0000

This family amazes me every time we are together. They are funny, polite and great in front of a camera! I started photographing this family when the boys where babies…and looking at them now, it’s hard to believe how much they have grown! The first time I photographed them 5 years ago, Maddy (the oldest) said the most adorable thing I think I have ever heard during a shoot…”This photography stuff is hard work! Now I know how Tyra Banks feels!” It still makes me laugh just thinking about it:)

I love the different personalities that each of these kids brings to the family…not to mention some great fashion sense! There are so many amazing shots from this shoot, it may deserve 2 blog posts…but I had to post a few in mid-edit. Can’t wait to show you all of them, L!

{So handsome…} Austin Family Photographer

Isn’t he though?? I photographed Triston just a few short months ago (8 to be exact!)…so it was time for an updated look to capture his most recent milestones. Mom was the winner of my summer Facebook contest (congrats again, Shannon!) and we decided to make it a session for Christmas cards and gifts! Thanks for a wonderful session:)

{Hello, Dallas.}- Austin/Dallas Family Photographer

admin — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 05:22:40 +0000

Wow. It’s always refreshing to photograph in a location that is new to me…it’s a challenge I am always up for! In this case, it was leave Austin and find a clean, modern look for this downtown Dallas family. I found the perfect spot in the heart of the arts district, and had such a blast getting to know this family more. Can’t wait to help y’all decorate your new place in the city with artwork from this shoot! I am already looking forward to the NEXT time I get to work with this group…I think the trolley is a great idea, Valarie!

..isn’t she though?

“Do you ever just look at some your photos and it just takes your breath away?” Grandma asked me as she wiped away a tear during their viewing session yesterday.

“Yes…(smile)…some photos do,” I said.

And I can definitely say that every time I photograph this sweet angel, I am awed at her soulful eyes and innocent spirit. Thank you for allowing me to document your journey over the last year and a half!
