Baby Jake - 3 month portraits

My cute nephew has changes so much since his newborn pictures.  We both celebrated milestones in December, I turned 33 and baby Jake turned 3 months.  He is up to 16 pounds and still cute as ever.  Let's see how different he looks next time for his 6 month portraits.  Love this little guy!!

My Cousins

Just like my family has "J" names, my cousin's all have "Lee".  Meet Austin Lee, Kaylee and Emilee.  I was happy to have time while back home over Christmas to meet all my little cousins.  Nothing like being home for the Holidays.

Kasson - Family Christmas Portraits

 This picture is so precious.  I love it!

I have a soft spot for a family whose names all begin with a "J".  What a beautiful family they are.  With their new addition, we battled a chilly morning out at Bull Creek at I think it was worth it. 

Landre - Family Christmas Portraits

 Lil Cowboy is hard at work.

 Like father, like son.

We have fun every time I get to see the Landre Family.  Little Cooper has grown so much over the years.  This year we decided to go on a dinosaur hunt out at the Zilker Park Botanical Gardens.  It was a beautiful evening for taking pictures.

Mayhall - Family Christmas Portraits & First Birthday Pictures

I had the pleasure of taking pictures for this couples wedding and now they have a little one.  We were able to get there first family portraits together, as well as her first birthday pictures.  She was adorable and smiled at me as soon as I saw her.

Lost Maples State Park

I have wanted to make a trip to Lost Maples for as long as I can remember.  This year my friend Emily and I finally made the trip.  We were not disappointed.  The colors were amazing.  There were some pretty spots along the way that we had to stop and get pictures, including Boot Hill.  The first 7 pictures are all in HDR.  The others are just regular ol' photos.

Redbud Austin, Texas - HDR Images

It might have been hot and humid today when I took these pictures, but it sure looked like fall to me.  I decided to give HDR a try after reading up on it.  HDR is high dynamic range.  The images are a series of individual pictures taken with bracketed exposure.

Gage - 9 month portraits

Starting out we thought I'd have my work cut out for me.  This little cutie didn't want to smile.  That turned around quickly when grandpa started being silly.  I'd say the results speak for themselves. 

Happy Halloween - Mini Sessions

It was so much fun working with all of my halloween clients.  From my little pumpkin and lady bug to Dorothy and Toto, a cute little puppy and Raggedy Ann and Andy I had a blast with all of my halloween mini sessions.  I can't wait for next year!
