From wild-eyed to docile (she), and from delight to angst (he), I managed to capture a large breadth of personality. And I’ll never forget this sweet boy removing one shoe with great resolve and sprinting around with one bare foot for an entire hour.
This couple got married at the French Legation and were excited to return years later with their little girl. There was all kinds of construction going on so my hands are raw from removing barricades and signs from the images and recreating part of the beautiful porch…apparently the oldest structure in Austin.
What a cool family. You can see how much they love being together. They are exploding with color, kindness, and good energy. We hung out at Zilker park and I chased them around as they climbed on the rocks and trees, danced, ran races, wrestled, and hugged.
These twins could take on the world. But they could also land on the cover of Vogue (Kid Vogue?). They ebb and flow so peacefully and organically like waves. So I’m sure that they would concoct the perfect plan to escape from even the most cunning witch—perhaps by reading eachother’s minds—and would execute it with seamless teamwork.
Action on Beach Haven, a gorgeous little sliver of sand off the Jersey Coast massaged by warm rolling waves. You could rise and fall with the surf all day long. An extended family is enjoying a summer reunion—mine!
Yes, now I do fly photography, too! I mean, look at all that emotion I captured 
I had the honor and privilege of meeting this very young lad amidst his joyful family in the hospital shortly after his birth. His lovely grandma prepared an Indian feast and lined the windowsill with a buffet for us all. No hospital food for this lucky mama! Everyone was surprisingly light-hearted and well-rested so it felt like a little party. Big sis was delighted with the new specimen but could only be cajoled into one family photograph.
This free-spirited loving family trekked through woods and fields and wildflowers to the last waterfall in Austin, which is perhaps no longer there! We wanted pictures of their 6-month old nursing under (or above) a waterfall. But she was so mesmerized by the pastoral landscape that couldn’t tear her eyes away from it. I did manage to capture a few endearing moments of her feasting, and they are exquisite images, but I cannot post them here! Here she is in all her innocent beauty drinking in the glistening sky and cascading water.
This laughing, smiling happy boy was so entranced by the nature around him that all I got were looks of wonder, and we could barely eek a grin out of him! But he was having some serious fun, enjoying sitting in the wild grass and on the stone flats and playing the piano with abandon until his little body wavered and dad caught him just as he teetered and lost his newly found balance…
over!
