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 it is wonderfully green, always quiet, and makes for a very easy photo shoot.

And for Sunday, Oct. 25, I will make all my north people happy by doing photographs in Old Settler’s Park in Round Rock! The rustic buildings, old tractor, and amazing trees make for beautiful shots.

Available time slots are below. The sitting fee is the same as it has been for many years, $95, and it includes a proof portfolio that is yours to keep. These will come by mail a week or so after your shoot. Your packet will include sample holiday cards in case you are interested in those.

The E family has been coming a long time, and I’ve gotten the privilege of taking many maternity and newborn shots for them.

Mom brought in the whole crew for her maternity pictures for baby number eight. We thought it would be fun to have them all wear white t-shirts and put handprints on mom’s belly as a keepsake for the new member when he arrives!

Little K is getting a baby sister! I’ve photographed the H family since their first maternity image. It will be fun to see how K enjoys her new family member.

We realized just how long the J family had been coming for pictures when the mom called, upset because her oldest daughter’s picture had fallen off the wall and in the resulting crash, the 8×10 had gotten sliced up by the glass.

I told her not to worry, we’d find the file and run a new one. But the image was from 2001! Her newborn shot!

The J children come every summer to update their pictures. I got to use my brand-new drop with them, as well as capture their very sweet relationship.

I hadn’t seen the L family in ages, although she did call last year to say she’d had a baby, and needed to bring her in! She finally got here and what a wonderful family this had grown into!

It’s been a baby boom this summer!

Baby N is the little cousin to one of my recent Baby Plan graduates, so it’s his turn now! We can’t wait to photograph them together.

Baby N was a calm and collected during his session, happy and alert despite only being a few weeks old.

Welcome to the world, little one!

Precious R has two older brothers, so she’s a busy girl. I’ve been photographing her family since her oldest brother was a baby, so I’ve seen all of them grow and grow!

We had great fun playing with hats. Sepia tint photos are very beautiful to show how our babies are turning into little people.

It’s hard to believe it sometimes when these babies graduate from their plans so soon! Baby V is all boy and such a happy little kid! More pictures of him are to come as we just did an outdoor shoot with his big brother and three big boy cousins!

Happy Birthday, little man!

I’ve been photographing Baby C’s big sister since she was born. Now she has a brother to love! He’s a cutie!
