One Bright Morning
Back in January, I had the honor of photographing this young family before a deployment. I had wanted, oh so wanted, to be there to document his reunion with his family. Sadly, it was not meant to be. My family was in the midst of car problems, surgery recoveries, the hottest summer in Austin’s history, fires, you name it. Everything was against me being there and I was so frustrated. I didn’t want them to go without updated portraits, though, so we met at a park one morning. Thank you for what you did for our Nation. Thank you for serving. Welcome...

This was their first formal family portrait session since becoming a family, and aren’t they gorgeous? I was honored to photograph this loving family earlier this spring (when things were still green!) and capture some very special smiles.

Sometimes you instantly know The One. You know the beauty of love at first sight, right? This is The One picture from her portrait session that screamed for me to show. This photo utterly, totally swept me off my feet the moment it popped off the memory card; I knew. (You might recognize it from the slideshow above; I couldn’t wait! I had to add it the minute I knew I was redesigning this...

It was brought to my attention that all (okay, not all but most) of my sessions before the start of this year have gone missing. Yes, ’tis true. I switched hosting companies when I got serious about running this business my way (and not on borrowed bandwidth from family) and I didn’t realize I would need to *wait* to fill in the new DNS addresses with the domain registrar until *after* I’d backed up the blog posts. I logged in to Cpanel to download everything (probably while whistling a catchy tune) only to find out that I’d already deleted the information in...
