Carsyn & Friends

Carsyn & Friends

The goal – photograph various combinations of 11 people (which included two babies, one toddler, one getting-over-a-cold-so-I-can’t-get-too-close Grandpa and one very sweet (but deaf) dog.

It was the “Carsyn & Friends” show! Chaos, lots of laugher and lots more outfit changes. Thank you to Heather, Sam, Carsyn, John, Angela, Kate, Kim, Chuck, Kira, Suzanne and Steve for letting me capture those moments. And full disclosure – with over 900 photos taken, there were lots of fun outtakes with this bunch.

Outtakes such as the levitating Christmas wreath or all the kids making a dash for the decorations or Kate making a grab for Carsyn’s bow.

Max & The Bubbles

Max & The Bubbles

I have a lot of holiday portrait session photos to share with you all – but since I need to wait until those nice folks send our their holiday cards (and not spoil the surprise of what images they got) – as a hold over – here are some pics of Max from yesterday. Bubbles in the morning, and the close-ups are from riding the free train at the Triangle in the afternoon.

Westyn & Family – Portrait Session

Westyn & Family – Portrait Session

Say hello to Shannon, Steven and Westyn Owen. I met this lovely family at the park behind Central Market on a cloudy Sunday afternoon. Westyn (6 months old) was full of gummy grins and couldn’t get enough of the stacking blocks. Mostly because she wanted to keep eating them.

I have two favorite outtakes – this candid moment during an outfit change and this moment when Westyn decided to eat Christmas.

Max K. & Family

Max K. & Family

Meet Max K. and his parents: Jeff and Katherine. We spend the morning at Zilker Park near the Hillside Theater. Max wanted to climb rocks, take his stuffed zebra on a walk and join the karate-potluck going on nearby. It was fun chasing after the little guy. Max K. has been friends with our Max (also know as Max M. or Elder Max) since he was born. And it will be exciting to see what Max K.’s little sister-to-be adds to this fun group.

I think this is my favorite outtake – and we got to hear Max K. practice saying “rock” a lot.

Scarlett – Child Portrait Session

Scarlett – Child Portrait Session

Meet Scarlett, or “Scar” as she’s more affectionately known. This 2-year old didn’t seem to mind the cold temps as she climbed all over the heritage homestead at Katherine Fleischer Park. And feast your eyes on that fantastic kimono dress. Her mom has quite the crafty eye, being pretty crafty herself (check out Brandy’s Etsy Shop). Scarlett was ready to share all the animal sounds she knows (quite a lot) – as well as her favorite colors. Definitely a smarty, that one.

I think this is my favorite outtake – those tiny fists of determination just slay me.
