The end of school is near and summer is almost here. I am soaking up all this good weather we are having before it’s gone, but I also can’t wait to sleep in, go to the beach and the pool and be outside! To celebrate the season, I’m offering family, newborn, maternity and senior sessions for $250. That’s last year’s prices! You get a private online gallery to share with friends and family, a cd full of facebook sized photos and a free 8 x 10 of your favorite image.
Your session must occur between now and the 10th of June. Let’s celebrate Summer!
Contact me to book a session.

I think I like him.
I think he likes me too.
See this fella right here? Pretty sure he’s the most awesome guy this side of time.
Seven years ago on this day, I married the man of my dreams. I’m not even itchy. Not one little bit. In a month we will have been together 10 years.
I love you, Bill. With my whole soul.
Love,
Anna

I love these peoples’ guts. Seriously love them. Thanks for visiting and playing with us. We had a marvelous time as always. Arranged marriage is ok by me. Hint hint.

A while back, I met a girl and an amazing photographer. We met on facebook in a local photog group. We set up a date to meet in person over sushi. We both wore silver tops. I was instantly smitten with her. It’s not often that as a grown up you make new really good friends, but the instant I met her I knew she was for me. Not long after that meeting, she and her family decided to move back home to a far away place that I’ve never been. Minnesota. I know it’s a state. I learned that in grade school. But, it sounds like a movie. It’s that far away to me. I was sad, but with technology I knew we’d keep in touch. We had lunch again at the same sushi place just before she left. We both wore flowery dresses.
Athena came back to Austin this past week to do some shooting and I invited her to stay with us. She came in, we shared some wine and talked until midnight (late for me!). She loved on my raucous kids, loved on my doggie, loved on my coffee and tolerated the sleepless night in which Evie threw up a dozen times until the next afternoon. We watched Dirty Dancing together. Oh yeah, that happened. She gave me dried lavender. She played with my kids. She bought me nail polish and she took pictures of me and my littles together on a swing.
Before she arrived, I knew I wanted to get some pictures of her, but we didn’t have a lot of time what with her shooting schedule and my kids’ sports practices, games and illnesses. But, the morning before her big shoot on the windiest day ever, I grabbed my sluggish old 5d (she has a cute, perky nikon) and snapped a few of her.
You can see she has a soul meant for friendship. I loved having her here in our lives. She left some of her sweet energy behind and for that and her friendship, I am grateful. I wish we had had more time together just the two of us, but that will come later. I am sure.
Hugs and love, Athena!
P.s. Check out her work. She is an amazing photographer!

I am so excited I get the chance to document this little guy’s first year of life. He is such a sweetie, so happy and loves his mama so much! I am still hoping to get his shy dad in the mix, but maybe next time! Hint hint, nudge nudge! See you guys in a couple of months!
