I love Christmastime! It gets a little crazy at the studio, but I get to see all the big kids who only come once a year, and we get whole families to take their pictures together.
Always wanted that cute “Christmas morning” shot of kids in their PJs, but didn’t have the matching PJs? I’ve got [...]

Many of you know that Elizabeth spent several days at the children’s hospital this year, waiting on her diagnosis of heterotopic gray matter, a congenital brain defect. She’s doing so well, and we were so grateful for her amazing care there. I decided this holiday season to do something extra special to raise money for [...]

It’s time to do those outdoor family photo shoots! This year’s special runs from Oct. 16 until Oct. 25.
This year I will have TWO outdoor locations!
From Oct. 16 to Oct 24, I will be at Boulder Park just a few blocks from the studio in West Austin. I’ve been doing shoots here for years, and [...]

For this campaign, I am looking for children between the ages of 12 months (who can stand unassisted) and nine years. I need their craziest outfits EVER. I mean COLOR! I mean overalls and bandanas and cowboy hats and feather boas and mama’s high heels–whatever fits your child’s personality!
The sessions will be about 15 minutes [...]

It’s time! This patch is ready for shooting now in the evenings.

The outdoor special is underway! The weather has finally turned beautiful.
The lake location is amazing. My favorite pictures are definitely on the old wood dock and always, visitors! About twenty ducks and one swan tend to come when we break out the basket of bread.
I still have a few slots for this weekend and next [...]

Last fall, the girls and I ran out in the rain with two pounds of bluebonnet seeds to see if we could help the state flower along. Let’s hope that our efforts bear blooms! The Bluebonnet Cam at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center shows some flower power rising, but so far nothing from my [...]

This year I have three new Christmas card designs as well as a new portrait concept to represent a more reflective year. I’ve heard from so many of you, enduring uncertainty after a lay off or just worrying about the future. I too have seen a big change in my own business this year, and [...]

So what if it’s Texas and snow is a once-in-a-decade thing. We’re having a great time with the sleigh shoots! The dogs have been so much fun and the kids love to jingle the sleigh bells!
Some of you moms have insisted this is an odd year, and you couldn’t get yourself together in October, so [...]

It is time for the sleigh special! It will run from Oct. 2-26. If you already know you want to do it, here’s the schedule, find a slot!
I have the PERFECT spot for these images in the back of Boulder Park, just four blocks from my studio. In a new section of the park, we have [...]
