“C” Family, 3 Generations | Round Rock Family Photographer

I always love having multiple generations at a family photo shoot.  I know that I am biased because my grandparents have always had such an important part of my life.   When Justin asked if I could shoot his entire family the week of Thanksgiving I was excited to put them on my schedule.  (and note folks–Justin…

Small Business Saturday! | Austin Wedding Photographer

It’s Small Business Saturday.  Yeah, until this week I hadn’t heard of it either.  It’s a great idea though.  Our ecomony is not as fat as it used to be.  We all are  figuring out ways to make our dollar stretch further.  I know as a small business owner I can not compete with the large portrait…

Thankful | Austin Wedding Photographer

Thanksgiving 2010.  How did that happen?  It just seems like yesterday that my grandmother and I were cooking Thanksgiving dinner in my small rental home while I was in awe of my 6 pound newborn.  Now I am cooking with 11 year old and 9 year old assistants.  Time flies. Today I would like to dedicate my…

My Inheritance | Portrait Photography Texas

This portrait hangs in the hallway at my grandmother’s house.  Mimmie thinks she was about 9 when it was made.  It’s hand painted and in a bubble glass frame.  I love this portrait.  I’ve always joked that this portrait is my inheritance—if I get nothing else from my grandmother than this portrait I will be…

Fear | Austin Texas Wedding Photographer

I hate snakes.  They are cold and slither on the ground…and in the Bible the Devil came as a snake….which makes me hate them more.  I fear snakes even more than I hate them. I have real reasons to fear snakes. When I was a young girl we would tromp all over the countryside at…

School Photos vs. Portraits | Child Portrait Photography

Every year I buy my daughters’ school pictures, and every year I complain about them.  I figure that I should buy them because their birthdays are in the fall.  I say it’s good to have someone else capture their smile.  I justify the HUGE expense knowing that I will have consistent studio portraits of the girls that will chronicle their growth…
