Meet sweet baby Madison!

This little baby girl was such an angel! She wanted to look around a bit at first so we took some images with mommy and daddy to start with , I loved their big Austin wall .

Now she was not fussy , she just wanted to see what in the world was going on and have a bottle , or two! She was perfectly content in her mommy and daddy`s arms.

She says hey dad , over here!

I got a little smile before she zonked out for the rest of session for me, making it so easy to put her in little baskets , hats and all the flowers !

baby lamb !

Baby girls and flowers ! HELLO spring baby !

Look at her sweet cheeks !

I think she is having sweet milk dreams

Thank you guys for opening your home up to me to capture your sweet new baby girl Madison , she is such a doll!

I cant wait to see her grow

Lachandra and Kenneth , Villa Antonia

When Lachandra emailed after our consolation that they were going to have me as their photographer I jumped up and totally squealed with joy . I was so excited because after a year off from weddings I knew this was going to be such an amazing couple to capture. They are so kind , and you can just feel that they are in love. I love capturing the moments of true connection and love .

I started the day by capturing some details of flowers , dresses , shoes and Villa Antonia , this little gem is a hill country dream. It was breathtaking!

Flowers by florist ,Visual Lyrics

I love the pops of blue and I just LOVED her blue shoes !!

Hill Country Dream

If you know my work you know I love blue velvet chairs!! This venue had so many , I wanted to use them ALL!

Lachandra is such a stunning bride , this was taken in the Bridal sweet. The blue tones and lace curtains were to die for!

The bright bridal sweet bathroom was amazing, a photographers dream!

Show off the bling girl!

These woman were amazing , capturing them laughing and smiling was easy . What was amazing was seeing how much they love each other and how strong their friendship is. I got see them calm Lachandra and help her get ready to marry her best friend!

The button details are just amazing!

---

All right now off to the groomsmen and groom! They were a fun bunch and had us laughing. At one point all the guys were in the shower , haha !

Its always fun when the guys are having a good time , because well most men are over the pictures before we start so thank you guys for having some fun!

The blue suit was perfection, extra class.

This little ring bearer was the sweetest little gentleman. He was all about pictures , and had his poses down! I just love it!!!

The guys , looking all snazzy

The ceremony was beautiful, it was a cloudy day but the rain held out for them.

One of my favorite captures is the grooms first look. I am a bit a of cry baby and romantic , this always brings a little tear to my eyes.

One of my favorite parts of a wedding is when I get to take the couple for a bit alone to capture them, all the wedding feels happening.

My goodness , I knew this couple was kind and amazing you just know when you meet and talk with them BUT so did a lot of their friends and family! They had toast after toast about these two! Cheers to you guys, ya`ll are amazing!

I had my eyes on the cup cakes all night long , hahaha they looked amazing!

Michelle’s Patisserie. I think your cakes were much enjoyed!

The High school gang!

The flower girl and her mama had some moves!

The night ended with a first dance , but accompanied by all their loved ones.

And they left with a sparkler exit to light the way.

Wishing you lots of love and happiness forever and more!

Thank you so much for having me document your special day and thank you so much to all the amazing vendors and Chris at Villa Antonia!

Spring Photography sessions and milk baths

Spring , I am ready for you! I think most of us are ready for some Texas warmth. This is much too cold! I am ready for flower field sessions, blue bonnet drives and some lake Travis fun. Anyone else just love the flowers that pop up that make our commutes to and from beautiful? I think every year I just talk and talk about all the flowers and the fields. Oh how I just LOVE them.

Until then we will take some sweet spring session milk baths where the babies can be warm and leave with soft baby skin from a fresh milk float!

Miss sweet Ella had her 6 month old session here with me. I cant believe it. It feels like yesterday I captured her sweet mama for her maternity photos right here in my back yard on Lake Travis. And it really , really feels like I captured her newborn images yesterday! I can not believe how much this little one has grown already! I am not sure I can get enough of her rolls , baby rolls are seriously the cutest! Baby rolls with flower toes , milk baths and big baby giggles are even sweeter!

Oh dear those little toes!

All right little one , I think she has the sweetest eyes I have ever seen!

Oh but before bath time of course we took some of this sweet gal in my favorite blue velvet chair!

Soon we will be planning her 1 year photography session! I am not sure if I can handle too much more cuteness, no I can and I cant wait :)

Hidden Hill Country Gem /Villa Antonia

When I first walked through the wedding venue Villa Antonia, the sweetest hidden hill country venue, I was just in aww of the beauty and all the stunning details. Every corner has character . I was even more excited that bride and groom, LaChandra and Kenneth, chose me to capture their special day. There was no doubt how much these two love each other, which makes my job easy!

Stunning , beautiful hill country venue that makes you feel like your in another country and a beautiful couple , in love. OH my HEART!

I could not wait to share a mini sneak peak and just say THANK YOU ! I am so grateful I was one chosen to capture their day and grateful for how amazing all the vendors were! I can not wait to share more .

Everyone here was just amazing all the way from the wedding coordinator to the the make- artist and florist. Her bridal bouquets were so dreamy, just wait till I share !

This image that I am sharing first I fell in love with. The romantic low lighting , blue velvet chairs and stunning outdoor lights bursting through the windows , and oh yes, I am a huge sucker for loving, happy candid images.

Love,

Inquire for pricing and lets get planning!

What to wear family photos !

Most asked question, what do we wear for our family session!? alright ya`ll here is my suggestion and opinion! Choose a color you love or that everyone in your family has! I think its super cute when mom wears a color , dad wears a solid accent color and kiddos wear mixed colors of each!

Example if mom is wearing red and dad is wearing solid white have a white necklace or scarf in white! Then the kiddo/s wearing hints of both! I always suggest that you don`t choose characters or shirts with writing and simple is always best!

Most importantly be comfortable and be you! This is a sample of one of my fave family sessions! Brother and sister where matching , mom and dad had matching colors then we went to see great grandma and she was in red also! This family chose red as a main color because they all something with red!

Isn’t this the sweetest? I loved that coordinated their colors, and it was simply just colors they all had that they all agreed on!

Another super cute example of matching! Mom is wearing navy blue dress with a yellow necklace , dad is wearing a navy blue shirt with yellow sleeves and toddler is wearing a plaid shirt with both colors!

So simple , to many of stress hard on what to wear! These cute outfits were found at old navy and marshals ! Old navy is one of my personal fave shopping spots for my son because they have SO much nice stuff for so little! AND they always have sales, win win! I also always suggest if you want outfit changes, keep it simple! If its fall layer up and take off jackets/scarfs for another quick look! If its summer wear a tank top under and bring a cute flowy cover up and have dad wear an under shirt!

Here is sample of my mama , my son and I ! We chose white, light blue and jeans! I think this is my favorite. Or I just love my sons sweet smile haha ! No for real , this was all stuff we already had that I thought looked super cute together! This was a super cute color scheme for fresh spring mothers day photos.

It is also always okay to send me your outfit ideas before your session! I love helping out and sending suggestions!

Honestly this goes for any sessions, couples , large or small family , maternity!

Cant wait for your session!

Wedding season is here /Austin area wedding photographer

Wow I can not believe it is 2019 and about mid through Jan! I am excited , and also nervous not going to lie BUT mostly excited to start up weddings AGAIN! I started photography weddings for 3 years and took some time off to focus on just sweet little newborns when my son was born!

Do not worry ya`ll I am still traveling to you for newborn sessions but will also be accepting a few weddings this year! I am so ready to start this back up and have been longing to really jump full force back into working! My little baby is becoming a little boy and just loving being involved in our local Lago Vista programs!

With that I am going to share some of my personal FAVE wedding images! Head over to my weddings tab for more samples ! I so look forward to seeing all these Austin venues! Last year I had the privilege of checking out stunning Dripping springs venues , a Jonestown venue as well as Hutto!

You guys this was one of FIRST weddings and one of my favorite destination weddings in Santa Fe New Mexico !

This couple eloped ! It was the sweetest wedding ever held right at the peak of light during the Balloon festival!

You guys seriously this wedding was stinking cute! It was held at one of my old time fave restaurants in New Mexico , El Pinto! This bride was beyond stunning has the best Instagram for sharing makeup tips! I will have to share her link!

This is one of my favorites ever! I did however get eaten by THOUSANDS of mosquito’s , no joke I looked like I had some crazy disease but after I saw all the images it was worth the week of horrible recovery also I think I saved everyone else from getting eaten as bad HA!

Happy Monday You All!

52 date nights , valentine gift !

These cute decks will come with 52 date night ideas , and cute packaging ready to gift!

Past clients use one of your images and create this cute gift for just $59 , add on any mini session for just $120

Each deck will be customized by me. I will have it wrapped and ready for you!

I decided I wanted to offer this as a gift because this year one of the things my husband and I are going to work on is going on dates. We have so many excuses about why we were not going on dates last year and I am sure ya`ll have the same! I know for a fact that my husband and I feel so much better, so much more connected when we take the time to go on a date. Even if its just going for a walk with a bottle of wine down by the lake! I feel like its so important to keep that fire we had when we were first dating . How much we would look forward to spending time with each other and going to dinner or the movies or mini golfing whatever!

So my hope is that I can create something cute that makes your both smile and feel special but continues through the year!
