Kayla in Downtown Georgetown

I had so much fun taking pictures of my good friend, Kayla. We have known each other for years and have always taken pictures and made videos - and when Kayla told me she was actually nervous about taking the pics all I could do was laugh! Anyway, the photo shoot was loads of fun, we went to a ton of locations - rail road tracks right before the train came... italian restaurants where people asked for her autograph, and downtown Georgetown where people honked as they drove by - so quite the experience really!

Anyway - here are your pics Kay - it was so much fun - enjoy em :)

John, Jen, and Downtown Austin {Austin Engagement Photographer}

There's nothing like a fun photo shoot in downtown Austin! Every corner i turn my mind springs with ideas because of all the amazing buildings, colors, and backdrops!! I'm lucky to be a photographer in such a great town!! 

My friend Jen, a friend since MIDDLE SCHOOL, asked if I would take some pictures of her and her boyfriend, John. Couples - being one of my favorite kind of portraits - I was totally down!!
John is from Colorado (hence the picture of them by Colorado st.) and Jen is currently at school there - but is in town for the summer. He came to visit her :pause for "aw's": and we figured it would be fun to snap a few pics of them together.

Plus. We ended the night with smores at Halcyon. Is there a better way to end a photo shoot? I think not!
Here are some pics to share with you from their photo session - thank John and Jen it was so much fun with you both!!!

It was about time for a family portrait...

When Matt and April informed me that they hadn't had a family portrait in quite a while!!! So i'm glad that I had the honor of being the photographer! :) We had a lot of fun, went down to the Arboretum - got some good "fam" shots, and of course, couldn't HELP but play on the cows!! We hustled to get the pictures done however, with this crazy Texas heat - me and April couldn't take much longer!!
Also. Everyone take note of April's hair, she had it done that day, now don't I feel important??!! (I think I heard something about Matt getting his hair done too :D)
Thanks again you guys - it was lots of fun - Your girls are beautiful - enjoy your pics

Jess - Senior Class of 2010! {Austin Senior Photographer}

Have i mentioned how much i LOVE senior photo shoots? It's true, many styles of portraits capture my eye - however, I have such joy and fun capturing the excitement and nervousness of a soon to be senior/graduate of high school! Jess, who has an AWESOME name first of all, is going to be graduating next May in 2010. We started off at South Congress for her shoot and ended up at Mount Bonnell for some great backdrop shots! Plus, it was a great time for me to catch up with my great friend Jen, Jess' older sister who came along with us on the photo session. With heat over a 100 degrees and sweat pouring off all of us - we somehow made it through to the end!! Thanks for being such troopers! - Don't worry girls, it was all worth it!! The pictures are amazing - Jess you're such a natural! Here's your preview, enjoy :)

Lucy in the vintage dress

After receiving my camera in the mail this week I called up my friend luc and told her she was up for a Jess Watson Photography photo shoot! We decided to meet at Mozart's - get the daily coffee! - and i started snapping away!! The pictures turned out great - with her vintage dress and my antique edits - we complimented each other very well! As far as what the last image is about - we went to Magnolia Cafe to eat after and no lie, right next to our window a squirrel purched and chewed away at his nut - adorable!! It was obvious that he wanted to be in the photo shoot! So i shoved Luc against the window and busted out the camera again! :) Anyway - enough of the talking - here's the proof of how great they look. Thanks Luc! Enjoy em'
