April 13, 2008: Karie & Ryan - Engaged!

More engagement session fun this weekend with Karie & Ryan (& Jake the dog; more on him in a minute)! They are one of those couples that is so comfortable and sweet around each other; You definitely know that they are a good match.

We headed out to catch the last of the bluebonnets (which, sadly, were not that great this year) and shoot in some other outdoor locations.

Thanks so much for a wonderful afternoon you two. The company plus the weather made it a perfect afternoon.

Both of them have one of the better 'non-smiley' looks I've come across.

And here is Jake. Oh, I have such dog envy. He is a sweetie.

April 12, 2008: Sarah's Bridals

I shot Sarah's bridal portraits this weekend and they are beautiful. She is a brunette Grace Kelley and is going to stun people at her wedding on April 26th.

But you can't see them yet. Nope. Stop begging, it's embarrassing. You'll have to wait two weeks. It's worth it, I promise.

A few Quick Trip Pictures

A few pictures from our little road trip. I've got a full weekend, so check back next week for updates! I've also got some new sample album pictures to post.

April 2, 2008: Blythe, Sarah and Sam

Blythe and I have been trying to coordinate schedules for months to get some casual shots of her and her sister Sarah. Well, the calendar gods finally smiled on us and I am so happy about that.


I had a delightful time with Blythe, Sarah and cutie Sam last week. I have never seen a smilier baby.


Thanks again you guys!

I love this one. Also, just so you know, they are laughing at me here.

Hey All,

My Baby Concierge is a great new business offering services for new and expecting Moms. I've been asked to do some occasional guest blogging about photography and the first one is up.

Check it out if you just can't get enough of me.

March 29, 2008: Tricia and Jeff's Wedding

Adorable couple, stunning venue - pretty good combination for a wedding. I just can't get enough of working with the T-Shizzle, so we were back in action as a team again this weekend.

Tricia and Jeff's wedding was at The Four Seasons Austin and beautifully coordinated by Bethany, Lindy, Lauren and Celine from 36th Street Weddings. Flowers were by Fiori del Sole and I plotted on how I could wander off with some of them. So gorgeous y'all!

Congratulations Tricia and Jeff! Enjoy your new life together!

First Look - a really good one.

In general, this is an outtake, but I love how the magic of a wedding infects everyone. Tricia and Jeff had many admirers during their portrait session.

This kind of light makes me dizzy with happiness.

Hora!



To top off the night, they had a s'mores bar. I don't need to tell you how awesome that is right? Because if I do, I don't think we can be friends.

NEW Website!

Hey! Lookie!

My Website is back!

There are lots of new engagement and family images to peek at. The wedding gallery will be updated in the next few months as I comb through this season's weddings. But there's still plenty to enjoy right now.

Pricing is the same and will remain so through June 1, 2008. I'll be sure to warn you again when pricing is about to change.

Leave the new website a comment and let it know what you think! It's tough being the new kid on the big World Wide Web.

In case you were wondering.....

Yes, I know my web site is down. I am a good photographer, but not the best IT manager. It should be back up soon! And it'll be all pretty and shiny and new!!!!!!

Have a great weekend! I'll be back blogging on Monday with more wedding images. Just for fun - here is my husband throwing the little one around before bedtime. They call it Rocket Pillow.

Shannon

Happy Easter!

I hope you are all having a wonderful day with friends and family (and maybe some jelly beans and chocolate bunnies - not that I would know anything about eating candy).

March 16, 2008: Lauren & John's Engagement Session

More engagement session fun this weekend with Lauren & John! They are getting married in California this fall, but as they are now Austin-ites, they wanted some Austin flavor for their Engagement Portraits.

People are always asking me what to wear for portrait sessions and I LOVED what these two wore. They were wonderfully coordinated and incredibly stylish without being matchy-matchy.

They also could not have been nicer or more fun. Thanks so much you guys and enjoy!
