I recently realized that I had somehow completely missed posting this session. It is from last September! So sorry, M!
I did this family session in north Houston. It was a typically humid Houston morning just like I remember from growing up there. Even so, we had good light and I had a beautiful family to photograph!
I did a session with two of these girlies back in December. Then mom hired me to do another session with her daughters and her nieces.
The first day we shot it was deceptively cold outside and rather windy, so we did a second session on a warmer day down at the lake. I loved the colors they chose for the lake photos--purples, lavenders and oranges with blue jeans. Great color combo with the dark green lake in the background! I mention the colors because so many of my clients ask about color! So clients--these were great colors!
I got to shoot a great birthday party at Barton Springs Park for this cutie pie!
Absolutely loved getting to know this great family! They were so much fun on this rather humid Austin morning. We started off in their backyard and then moved on to one of the parks in the neighborhood.It was slightly overcast and there was great shade in the park so the light was really nice.
And just as an aside, I met the mom's sister totally randomly the week before I did this shoot! She's a doctor that I visited! And it was pure coincidence that we even got onto a topic that took us to her sister! What a small world!
I am glad to finally get these posted since I took them two months ago! Thanks so much for your patience! Vacation and family in town has really eaten away at my time so proofing took much, much longer than expected!
There are lots more photos to look at in Gallery, so click here to see them!
Here are some of my favorites.
This is one of my favorite girls in the world! She is funny and smart and has an infectious personality! She has been wanting me to photograph her birthday party since last fall, so when the time came her mom called and booked me!
I had a wonderful time photographing her and her friends!

This was the only family session that I did this season. (Well, that's not quite true. I did an event for a property development company which I will post shortly!)
This family won a session I donated to a silent auction in the fall, so I was very excited when they called to book the session! I didn't realize until we were almost done with the session, that the oldest boy is in my daughter's class at school! He gave me a wonderful grin when he realized that I was a classmate's mom.
All three of these kiddos had gorgeous big eyes and photographed beautifully. We went out for the session in the late afternoon to catch the nice late day sun. Some of my favorite shots were at the end of the session, right before the sun went down.

This session was done on December 30, 2007, and it was windy and cold! These guys were such troopers though and we got some great shots.
We were out at one of the pools in the neighborhood and got some fun shots in and around the partially empty pool.
Due to the storm that was coming in and that it was late afternoon near dusk the sky was really incredible and I got some nice shots of the kids with the stormy sky behind them.
I really enjoyed meeting this family. I already knew their daughter through a friend's daughter and the youngest son is in school with my son, so it was nice not only to meet mom and dad, but the oldest son and a set of grandparents! I love my job!

These two boys are so good looking! I
have had a hard time trying to figure out which photos to post
here!
I had a really nice time photographing this family and
getting to know them a little. These two boys are amazingly well
mannered and polite and so very sweet.
And I finally got some
blue sky! So I took advantage of the sun as a backlight and even got
some nice camera flare.

I just love these guys! I always have so much fun hanging around with all of them!
I was so pleased when they asked me to take a big family photo for them. If you look around this blog and my website, you'll see some of these faces from other sessions.
We did this session here in Steiner Ranch near the new pool and community center. I think this is my favorite shot of the morning!

A few shots from another one of my Holiday mini-Sessions. This is one of my all time favorite families and I'm sad to say they will shortly be moving away from Austin to the mid-west. They will be sincerely missed, not just by me, but by many. I count myself super lucky to have gotten to know them over the past few years and fully intend to make a trip up north to visit!
You will be missed.
