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!

Today I went out for my first maternity session with my co-worker and friend Elise! Elise and Damian are expecting their little one in August and I know they are ready to meet baby E – so am I!

Elise, you are gorgeous and I hope you had a fun day! These images were shot at the lovely Zilker Botanical Gardens…

Ok, so one of my “goals” this year was to attend a workshop. Some kind. But I wanted to attend one.

There are some amazing workshops out there. Some far, some close… but never really worked out for my schedule and budget. I’ve always wanted to go to the For the Love Workshop. They had one this last November. It was in Oregon… but with work schedules and weddings to come, it wasn’t possibly for me to go. SOME day… I will hopefully make it to this one!

In the meantime… Ginny Corbett  of Ginny Corbett Photography has put on MANY amazing workshops and I am SO excited that this one is in DALLAS, TX. It’s The Dallas Renew Workshop and seems like it would be just perfect. It’s close, it’s not too long… I wouldn’t have to necessarily take off work. PERFECT!

Me and my good photographer friend are already planning how we can make this work. It would be so amazing to win and such a blessing!

Ginny – you ROCK!!!

I just had to take advantage of the beautiful snow today! Toby had never experienced snow and I think he loved it! Happy Snow Day!

Love the little snow on his nose!

Hahaha!

Stay warm everyone! :)

This was so fun!

So so fun!

I went with my sister-in-law Janeane (who’s a photographer) and her boyfriend (photographer in the making) to take some photos of Sam. Sam was up for anything and I’m so glad she was. We had her laying in the middle of the street for crying out loud :) Loved it! Check out some of my favorites :) There are too many!!!

I fell in LOVE with this little nook we found near an antique shop in Georgetown!!! Like a little alley-way from heaven :)
