Here are 7 random things about me:

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!

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.

Yummy Newborn

I met this family through my mom's group and when I saw them I knew I had to photograph them! These boys are so stinkin cute! Between their stunning big eyes and their gorgeous skin, I wanted them in front of my camera! Here's your sneak peek Krystal:

Back to work

Well, I had to take a longer break than I planned. A couple weeks ago, my husband and I found out we were unexpectedly pregnant with our third child. We decided to keep it to ourselves until we had seen the doctor. A week ago Saturday, I started to bleed. I knew there was something wrong. By Tuesday I was sure I had miscarried. A set of blood tests, an ultrasound and an OB visit confirmed my fear. I appreciate all the well-wishes and prayers that have been sent my way. Thank you all for your compassion and understanding. I'm ready to get back to work and all calls, emails, and orders will be taken care of by this weekend.
