January 27, 2008: Allison & Hank

The weather cooperated again for GREAT engagement session light! Woo!

Allison, Hank and I were all over Austin Sunday morning and I had soooo much fun! This is why I encourage multiple locations for engagment shoots. You get so many options and truly, this is the best city ever for fun, creative photography. I also love engagment sessions because they give me a chance to see the couple interact (and generally I'm meeting the groom for the first time).

Anyhoo, enough about me - let's talk about how cute Allison and Hank are! They are so cute! I always ask my couples for a lot of trust as I'm not the most traditional of photographers. In this case, I was trusted more than I could have hoped for. Allison and Hank let me do anything! They even had fun ideas of their own, which resulted in AWESOME photos.

Thanks again you guys! I had so much fun and can't wait for the wedding.

This is what happens when you ask people to be serious.

Distract Me!

Happy Monday peoples!

So I spend a lot of time at the computer due to the business - processing images, burning DVD's, accounting, blah blah blah.

Occasionally, something I'm working on can be running in the background while I browse the interwebs for a little brain break.

Here is my tiny, insignificant problem. I'm bored with all of my frequently visited sites.

Have any suggestions? I need something that's a quick 5 minute browse. I don't want to goof off too much because then I won't be doing work for You......and you know you're my favorite right?

Thanks!

January 19, 2008: Sarah & Glenn E-Session

Sarah and Glenn braved very cold (by Texas and MY standards) weather this past Saturday to do their engagement photos and I'm so glad they did! Morning, winter light CANNOT be beat! Seriously people - get up early and let's bundle up!

SO many exclamation points!!!! Sarah asked me if I was cheerleader in high school and I'm starting to get why.

I had a great time with these two - I know I say this all the time, but I love my clients! I can't wait for your wedding Sarah and Glenn! You are as cute as it gets. Thanks again.....

A BIG Thank You! The Bridal Show Wrap-Up.

Thank you so much to all of you who stopped by my booth this past weekend to say hello and get some information. I really, REALLY enjoyed talking to all of you.

This was my first Bridal Show, as a bride or vendor, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I had such a great time! My family and I are always so happy that we were able to move back to Austin and it's occasions like the show that reinforce that for me. You all were so wonderful and funny and interesting. I loved hearing about all of your ideas and wedding plans. I am also so thrilled that I'm already signed up to shoot some of your weddings. Thank you for your trust.

On a personal note, I feel like the show has enabled me to be a better resource for you all. I met some of the coolest vendors that I would love to recommend. I also want you to know, that while I would love for you to hire me as your photographer, there are some incredibly talented and fun photographers here in Austin. I made a lot of fun friends this weekend.

Thanks again and I'll be talking with you soon!
