Baby Julian is here!
You may remember his mom Sandra from this post. I was thrilled to meet Julian today as we did a quick newborn shoot. He’s so precious! Thanks so much for allowing me to photograph your darling little fellow. On to the pictures!

YES! I know it has nothing to do with wedding and portrait photography, but y’all need to get to the market and get yourself one of these Honeycrisp apples…I got addicted to them while living in Seattle. So good. They will perk your day right up.
Back to cute babies and beautiful brides shortly……..
Geez, Shannon, the holidays are MONTHS away – why should we be thinking about holiday portraits now? It’s still hot outside!
Well, I think you know how quickly time flies and I only have so many weekends between now and December 1, which (Hint Hint) is going to be the cutoff for Christmas ready portrait sessions…….
Labs and my album manufacturers are SWAMPED this time of year, so the sooner you get things in order, the better!
Stay tuned….I’m going to have a fun and easy holiday promotion coming up. Think Saturday November 10th and Sunday November 18th.
Wedding Images!
It’s been a while, huh? Moving across the country gave me a little (involuntary) sabbatical from shooting weddings, so it’s good to be back!
Austin wedding season is upon us and aside from spending time with my family, I can’t imagine a better way to spend a Saturday, so let’s get going shall we?
I had the wonderful experience of second shooting Vicki & Chris’s wedding with the delightful Tyler Schmitt this past weekend. The wedding was at Star Hill Ranch and coordinated by Something to Celebrate. (Have I mentioned recently how helpful it is to hire a coordinator for your wedding? You’ll be happy you did – trust me on this one.)
Vicki and Chris were glorious to work with and were so sweet to welcome me into their big day. Thanks again and have a wonderful honeymoon!
On to the pictures.



Vicki getting the finishing touches on her makeup while Tyler was shooting the bridesmaids in the background. Vicki’s bridesmaids were everything you dream about – so funny and and sweet and helpful.

Star Hill Ranch has a very old west feel to it. That’s what I was thinking about when shooting this image.

Vicki right before the ceremony. I threw this one in because this may or may not have been something I did on my wedding day…

Remember teeny, tiny Clare Rose from a month or so ago? Well here she is now!

What a little cherub she has grown into! She is a seriously, seriously cute baby.
I was honored to be asked to document her Baptism last weekend. It was a beautiful occassion filled with family and friends in downtown Austin. On to the pictures, shall we?

I threw this one in because I love how Kathryn is looking at her little girl.

The whole family.
