I spent my Saturday morning with this cute little girl and her parents. It was a fun morning and I think they turned out great! I hope you all enjoy your sneak peek!

It had been quite a while since my family and I had any kind of family photos taken. Since before Derik and I were married, maybe even engaged!? I don’t know if the wedding photos count?? So, now that we have new additions, we thought we’d take some new photos for Mom.

It started out as most family photos do… but, it turned out to be a great morning! Hope you love them Mom!

I have really wanted to do this for quite some time. I love my clients and I’m so grateful to them for their trust in me. I recently got some reviews from my Bride and Grooms from this past year… and to say that I’m honored is an understatement. You guys rock!! Seriously.

I thought I’d run a fun little contest for my 2011 clients. There are WAY too many favs, but I thankfully was able to narrow it down to one image per session. Below are some of my FAVS from each of your sessions. So, if you were engaged, a bride, and married all in the same year – you get 3 entries basically. Every session has an image.

SO – get your FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO VOTE!!! The image/session with the most votes will get a $15 iTunes card or Starbucks card (their choice). The contest starts today – obviously :) – and it will end on Dec 23rd (Friday before Christmas). I will determine the winner that day by noon by the most votes. The winner will be contacted and they can choose their prize!!!

Make sure you share on Facebook as well!! NOW – go get those votes!!! This should be fun :)

Caitlin and Ben contacted me about capturing this time in their lives. They’ve been married about a little over a year and just moved to Austin. Actually, the East Coast… to California… to Austin. So much change but I can tell they are having so much fun! They moved for jobs but have fallen in love with Austin, TX. Who wouldn’t :)

They didn’t have engagement photos taken while planning their wedding and Caitlin said she would’ve held it over Ben’s head *much* longer had they not decided to do a shoot to make up for it. It’s also the perfect time for them to use as Christmas photos.

They wanted the photo shoot to include all there is to love about Austin… and I think we did just that. This was one of the most laid back couples ever and they sure know how to have fun. I told them they looked like models and they laughed… Seriously, don’t they look like models? They rocked it and made it so easy for me!

I had such a great a time with these guys walking around downtown this weekend. We were hoping for it not to rain, we got a few sprinkles but really the weather was great. Nice breeze… sometimes a little TOO windy… :) But overall it was a great evening for photos.

Guys, I hope you had as much fun as I did and I hope you enjoyed yourselves! It sure looks like you guys had a great time!
