Saturday afternoon in downtown Austin

Still going backwards here! We met up at the state capital and started there, walked around finding interesting places to photograph, and ended at a bridge with a large bat colony to watch them. Sadly we were about two weeks late to see much, most had already migrated to Mexico.

She has the greatest wardrobe!


She wasn't feeling like being photographed so I just talked to her and snapped a few.

This was in front of a tattoo parlor


Austin skyline, I couldn't get a picture with the bats though.

Revamping again!

I found a way to make the pictures bigger so I am switching things up. I'll work on it this week between proofing pictures, blowing my nose, sewing my kids Halloween costumes, coughing, yeah I'm sick and I'm really hoping my kids don't get it. They're going trick-or-treating no matter what! If you haven't heard from me it's because I'm drugged up on cold medicine and I'm afraid of saying something silly (at least I can edit it here LOL!). I'll be back to you within a couple days!

1. I LOVE to eat! Chocolate, cheese, fried, and veggies with salt and butter, yum!
2. I do not like scary movies! They give me horrible nightmares!
3. I hate sweating and turn into a hermit in the summer. I live in the wrong climate but I can't imagine moving!
4. I married my best friend, we've known each other for 20 years and married 5!
5. I recently decided to take up knitting in my spare time (ha!), not really making anything, just knitting.
6. I have ADD and have been struggling with it lately.
7. My favorite color is red. I adore red! Except red food coloring, I'm allergic!

I'm tagging Cindy, Arya, Julie, Stefanie, Mariel, Heather, Karmen!

Sunday in Downtown Austin

I'm working backwards because I'm a goober and I like to do things differently. Sunday morning before I headed back to Phoenix, we headed back to downtown Austin with a couple of the girls' kids to try a few locations for some urban shots.

Miss "C" was the only willing model we had that morning, she was hamming it up!



Mr "M" was in a serious mood after he decided he wasn't Spiderman and sat down long enough for us to take a few photos.



And poor Miss "B" was so wiped out from the long weekend that she just wanted to sleep.


I'll post more in the coming days!

Isn't she adorable?

She is so gorgeous! Miss "N" has to be the biggest newborn I've ever photographed! She weighed just over 10 lbs at birth and was only 8 days old here! I'm told she is very calm and never cries but apparently not the case while I was there. Enjoy your sneak peek mom and dad,
I'll be talking to you soon!

I'm ba-ack!

I got home Sunday evening and was exhausted! We must have walked the entire downtown of Austin and it feels like I did at least 1,000 squats! I took Monday off to recuperate and I'm playing catch-up today. I have a newborn session to finish up and then I will share some photos from Austin, it was a blast!

Out of Town

I know I've been a Lame Blogger (as one of favorite photographers calls herself)! I promise to do better when I get back! I will be out of town from October 9th through October 12th at a Workshop in Austin! I'm looking forward to learning from some incredibly talented photographers and getting a little vacation by myself! I will return all phone calls and emails at that time.
