Photos from Matilda Jane

Summer is a great time to get the family together for a family portrait, especially if you want to get ahead on holiday cards!  This family has been great to work with and now Miss T is my new senior rep!  So if you go to McNeil, find her for a discount on your senior portrait session!

The S kids participated in my Matilda Jane Fashion Shoot special…and these two children were so much fun to photograph!  Miss C is such a ham for the camera and Mr. G was fun to chase around.  He gave me a work out!  I loved the converse shoes that mom picked out for the shoot.  The one of the final products was an awesome Storyboard for their playroom, complete with Wild Sorbet frame.

What an amazing time I had photographing these three cuties!  I loved the look of this family’s Tuscan style home, and encouraged mom to do the session there.  She was open to anything I wanted to photograph…including letting her 2 year old wear boots on their beautiful dining room table!  I thinking the end result was totally worth it!  These children have some modeling in their future….what amazing eyes they all have!

This was a really special shoot for me!  I have been photographing Mr. R since he was still in the womb and have documented his growth over his first year.  This “day-in-life” session consisted of many of the special aspects of this little boy’s life, including his evening routine with his family and his special relationship with his dog. Here are a few of Mr. R and his best buddy.

The S Family made a trip to Austin from H-town to celebrate Miss O turning 6 months.  What a Doll Baby!  She is so precious and I feel honored to capture this milestone in her life.  There were so many adorable ones, that we ended up designing an album for their session…but here are a few highlight photographs.  The first one is photographer favorite…

The Esquell Family came in for their family portrait last month.  What a sweet family!  I always say, as a photographer, I justify not going to the gym because I chase kids and brides around all day.  These guys kept me hopin’…they are full of energy!  But all three boys are such gentlemen.  Thanks for a great shoot!

It’s finally here!  Matilda Jane just launched their new line TODAY…and I am so excited to get my clients in these clothes, so I can photograph them!  On a cold day like today, it’s the perfect time to start thinking about Spring!  Bring your daughters and friends to my Matilda Jane trunk show on February 20th at 10am and find the perfect outfit for your Spring session!

Plus, I will be giving away portrait sessions and gift certificates.  Bring a friend and you get to enter TWICE!

• Win a free session and more!
• RSVP to the studio for driving directions and to let us know you are coming!

Here are a few shots of some of my favorite pieces…

I love cold weather.  Maybe because in Texas it is hot 80% of the time. This was one of those cold days, and this little cutie was so fun to work with!  Despite the fact it was FREEZING outside, he was happy and cooperative!  What more could a photographer ask for?  My fingers were almost too cold to operate my camera, but I can’t resist adorable children in cute hats:)  What a fun session!

When I found out that we had a chance of snow in Round Rock, I jumped all over it!  Lucky for me, I had just acquired my new (or old) antique sofa and I had a great antique sled as part of my Christmas decor.  Since all we got were flurries, I helped with my own “snow magic” to get some to stick.  But the freezing temperature and red noses…those were for real.  Luckily, my girls didn’t get sick…and they were heavily rewarded with hot chocolate, EXTRA marshmellows, and a warm fireplace.
