Ahhh!!! I have so many shoots I need you share with you!!! Hope you all are having a great weekend!

Newfangled Products!

I have a few new products I would love to introduce to you. Since we are in the middle of the busiest time of the year for family portraits, I'd like to show you a few new products that you more edgier clients might be interested in...

I just received my first sample of one today! They were so fast with production too!

I'm so in LOVE!!!

The first one is a metal print. Modern. Edgy. Beautiful. Brushed aluminum Metal Prints show your images in an incomparable way. They start with metal, add a coat of opaque white ink to the surface, and then print your image on top. This process truly takes your photography to the highest level in unique presentations. LOVE IT! It gets better....

The next product I dare you buy. If you do, I will be so jealous of your coolness. I want one for my office so bad, but I have not narrowed down the perfect print just yet... so here are the images I pulled from the printers site.
BAM! Cool, huh?!

Your image is split between 11.7" brushed aluminum tiles. Each Mural features silver snap rings, and brackets for easy assembly and wall mounting. Present your image as a contemporary work of art that will surely be the center of attention.


This next product, someone may or may not be getting one of these babies from us for Christmas. I can't say just yet;)

Broaden your offerings with Acrylic Prints. This 1/4" acrylic substrate brings your photograph to life in an almost three-dimensional effect. After your image is printed directly to the acrylic, a layer of opaque white ink is screen printed on the back to create a product that highlights the vibrant color and fine detail within your images. Get everyone talking and create buzz with Acrylic Prints.

If you have any questions about any of these products, let me know. I'd love to go into more detail about them with you. They have already been added to the proofing galleries, so go check them out~!

Now I leave you with a little Christmas Warmth. Yes, yes, I have been a little to busy to get out and buy a stocking for Little Miss B. So for now we have one of her tiny girl stockings hanging over the fire.

Brett & Amanda = Mr. & Mrs.

What a beautiful wedding at such a beautiful location. Brett & Amanda got married at Ashelynn Manor in Magnolia, TX. This place was so on top of things. They have the most polite wedding coordinators I have ever meet. Everything happened like clock work. If you want to book there, reserve early because they sometimes book up to four weddings in weekends. Crazy. And they are still nice to people? Seriously, it was a pleasure shooting there. Check them out!

Now on to the beautiful people. What's fun about this couple is, well, I have shot them before and have known them both forever. You may recognize mom and daughter. And if you grew up in MW, you might even recognize the groom. Brett went to school with us up until junior high, then moved to Houston. They reconnected on facebook, hehe. And here we are today. They are somewhere in the Maldives Islands soaking up the sun and I am at home sifting through a bajillion photos from their wedding. I love it! Sit back and enjoy. This is a long one!

Love you guys!

Amanda + Brett {Austin Area Photographer}

I always have a hard time narrowing down images to showcase. This fun little family came to town for a very special photo shoot. I have known Brett and Amanda for a very long time, so the shoot was such a pleasure. Stay tuned, their wedding is in August, so come back to see images of the big day.

Photo Dumping

Because time is precious, this post is mostly a photo dumping of the past 3 weeks. I have been taking photos as time allows, but mostly I have been staring at the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Such a miracle.

The community that we live in is amazing. They came together and organized a calender to bring us food. Every other night we had a new, hot, home cooked meal arrive at our door. Oh so yummy every time and oh so humbling how much effort was put into every meal. What a blessing to not have to worry about what we are going to eat for dinner. People we didn't even know yet have shown up. God has really surrounded us with loving people.

This folks, is an image of the two loves of my life! Thomas is such a sweet daddy. She is so at ease with him.

Big Cousin Molly came to visit her baby cousin!

MeMa is going to love this one....

We had a very low key Easter this year. Bailey is still a little too young to hit the crowded room of people. But we did mange to find a few fields of blue to capture this years awesome display of wildflowers!

Almost as soon as we arrived home, I caught a cold, which Bailey caught from me. There is nothing more sad than seeing her struggle to breath at 1.5 weeks old. Thomas has it now and as I type this I feel another sore throat coming on. I can now see how new moms can become so protective of their little ones and not want anyone to touch or breath on them. It just doesn't seem fair to be so little and have to already deal with a sick cold. At this age there is nothing you can give them to help them fight it off. So we are just waiting for it to clear up. Please pray that we can knock this out and that this sweet baby doesn't have to battle another round of it.
