A beautiful couple + two adorable puppies + gorgeous golden light = an amazing Fall Session <3

Wondering how to dress your little girl for pictures this holiday season?  What fits her personality?  Is she a little fashionista, a tiny princess, or a free spirit?  Any of these looks would make for fabulous portraits. 

Be Beautiful.  Be You.  

We took this adorable little guy out to the pumpkin patch and he let me snap pictures of him for a good 15 minutes.  He even showed me all of his smiles and adorable expressions.   And the result....  I.  Can't.  Even.  Handle.  It.  So stinking cute!  <3

The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is truly an Austin gem.  So much beauty...so many ways to explore nature.  My children and I recently spent the morning exploring, playing, and of course, taking pictures before eating lunch at their Café.  It's a drive for us, but so worth it!  Here's a few of my favorite images from the day <3

I've had some fun the past few days taking pictures of flowers and wanted to share!  I still love photographing people the most, but it's fun to change up the pace a bit <3.

I don't know how many more times I'll be able to sneak into her room and take pictures of her while she naps.  It's one of my favorite things and I know one of these times will be my last.  

This sweet girl turned nine this summer.  She was a little shy in front of the camera, but did great!!  Such a beautiful little girl...and those dimples! 

I love both color and black & white images, so I always supply my clients with both versions.  But, I usually prefer one over the other...and 80% of the time it's the color version.  But sometimes I love them equally, like the image below.  Which do you prefer? 

We planned a glamorous outdoor session for this stunning first time mom complete with gold designer gown, sparkling jewelry, and gorgeous make-up by the talented Amanda Pye.   She's simply glowing, isn't she?
