I helped out the ladies over at BZ Events for a post they did before the holidays. We went to Antonelli’s Cheese to see what they had to say about cheese and gift baskets for the holidays. Bonus is that we got samples of yummy stuff. If you haven’t been to this delight of a shop, go right now. Maybe I’ll see you there!

2009 is coming to a close today and it has been a whirlwind year for me both professionally and personally. I shot more weddings and met more sweet newborns, newly engaged couples and fun families than I ever have. 

I worked and played with some of the most amazing photographers this industry has to offer. Seriously, Austin has the most wonderful community of photographers and wedding professionals. I am so lucky to call many of them my friends. I learn from and am inspired by all of you every day!

I watched my little girl turn into a beautiful, funny, silly and smart four year old.  She and my husband are, as always, my biggest source of inspiration and the center of my life.

My work has left me satisfied and really pleased with the direction my little company is taking. It’s never been my goal to be the most famous photographer. I just want happy clients that trust me with some of the most important memories of their lives and luckily that is what I have. So for that, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You guys are the reasons I happily give up many of my Saturdays and spend late nights smiling at my computer screen while editing.

I hope that 2009 has been a great year for you and I wish you amazing happiness in 2010! I can’t wait to see what you all have in store for me.

XOXO

If you have been following my Twitter feed, I was talking about how much I love wrapping presents. I found out that lots of you do too (and lots of you also offered to let me take over your wrapping for next year – maybe I should make it a charity project), so I thought I’d show you my wrapping this year.

I like to pick a color theme. This year I wanted something chic and sleek with a pop of color. I’m sure Savannah will not appreciate it as she dives into her gifts, but I thought you all might.

I hope you have lots of presents under the tree and had a great time with your family and friends.

XOXO

Happy Friday!

She ran around the neighborhood yelling “Squawk! Squawk! I’m a peacock!”

Then my mom added fuel to the fire by calling her a ‘stunning’ peacock, so she then she ran around the neighborhood yelling “I’m a stunning peacock!”

Happy belated Halloween!

I snagged this off the LuxCetera Blog because it made me smile.

Have you miseed me? Maybe a little? Well I have missed YOU!

I just wanted to pop in and let you know that YES I have been shooting like a madwoman and the unfortunate side effect of that is the Blog has been neglected lately. I have lots and lots of gorgeous weddings and babies and couples to show you…it’s just not going to be today. I promise to return next week with some Holiday Shoot information (last chance to sign up for the newsletter!) and a bunch of recent work.

In the meantime, enjoy Savannah’s take on the costume box. I believe this is Bovine Harry Potter.

Hey, so I think we’ve talked about this before, but as a reminder, I can also be found on Facebook and Twitter. You pretty much get what you see with me, so I’m happy to have you along for my non-stop internal monologue if you want to come.

You can choose your level of involvement in Facebook. I have a business page and a personal page.

On Twitter I am SCPhoto.

See ya on the interwebs.

I’ll be away from the office from Saturday June 27th through Friday July 9th.

I’m going out of the country (!!!) with a three year old (!!!) so I will have limited access to email and voicemail. I appreciate your understanding if I take a few days or possibly a few weeks to get back to you.

I have planned some fun posts to entertain you while I’m gone and will be having this pop up as a reminder too, so be sure to check below for new content!

I will hopefully have lots and lots of fun photos to share with you when I get back. I’ll miss you – have a good few weeks!
