Cooooollllllddddd

So we got back from N.Y. and the weather was gorgeous, in the 70’s!  We stepped off of the plane and there I was with a sweater, boots, coat, scarf, looking like I just got back from the Arctic.  And today, it’s snowing!  Crazy weather here in Austin, as always.  Makes things interesting!  Here is a cute hat that I just ordered for Mya.  Well, I ordered it back in December!  I was hoping it would get here before it got too warm, and hey, today is the perfect day to wear it.  More news on N.Y. later!  But we won’t be in Austin for too much longer.  We are definitely moving.  Very exciting!

MIA

I will be going out of town with my hubby for the rest of the week.  This is the first time that we’ve left Mya for more than a night.  (That only happened once.)  I’m so excited about going to NYC, but I’m almost sick over having to leave my baby girl.  🙁  Will I be able to do it without crying??  Yeah right!  I know I will cry all the way to the airport!  So I will not be in my office (which really means, on my chaise lounge, which is where my laptop is) until next week.  So if you email me before then and I don’t respond, it’s because I’m on one of those double decker buses riding around NY freezing my patooty off!  Look out big city, here come those crazy Texans!  😉

Snow and 60 Degrees?

This morning I did maternity pictures for a friend of mine.  It’s funny, before a session, I always have in my head what it’s going to be like:  sunny, warm, beautiful light and I have poses in my head that I want to do and it NEVER ends up being the way I plan.  Somehow it just works though.  Today was supposed to be sunny, almost 60 degrees, gorgeous!  I was very excited.  When I woke up, I looked outside, and um, what?!  There was snow in the trees!  Are you kidding me??  So Sara and I braved the weather and went for it anyways and like it always does, it ended up being just fine!  This girl is just drop dead gorgeous!  She’s the kind of pregnant woman we all want to be:  happy, glowing, full of life and still knows how to have fun.  I love doing maternity pictures.  There’s just something so fascinating about pregnancy.  It’s just hard to believe that there is a little person there in that belly that’s going to be out in the world in just a few, short weeks.  It amazes me!  Thank you, Sara, for being so awesome this morning, even with a few distractions:  screaming children, hammering, chainsaws.  LOL  Hope you love your pictures.  More to come later.  Ryder and I have to get ready for a hot pre-Valentines date!  Woot!  Woot!  Happy Valentines weekend to all of you love birds out there!  Now go make some more babies so I can do some more maternity pictures.  Woah, inappropriate!  😉

I told Sara to make sure to “smeyes” and she knew what I meant.  LOL  If you’ve ever seen America’s Next Top Model, you know what that means!  hehe

Here’s big sister!  She’s a mini-me of her beautiful momma!

Oh Yay!!!!

Going to upload some more of the Valentines pictures, but big news for me:  a new, real life, custom-made watermark.  Woohoo!!!  Recently another photographer here in town made fun of my generic watermark.  Yes, I knew it was generic and ugly, but hey, that wasn’t very nice or professional on their part.  It did give me a complex though.  🙁  People can be so mean!  Thank you to Laura Hotten, one very talented lady, for making this for me.  Love it when I can trade a session for a favor!  When I added it to these pictures, my heart did a flip-flop because I was so excited.  It doesn’t take much to please me, obviously.  LOL  Next thing to do, a new website.  Still working on that one!  That one’s not quite as low cost.

Itty bitty toes:

Some More Valentines

I am having so much fun working on these pictures!  Every once in a while I will do a session that I am just plain giddy over.  This one was one of those sessions.  With every picture I finish, I just want to jump up and start clapping my hands!  lol  I’m going to just upload them as I work on them, so mommas, keep checking back for pictures of your baby!

This picture stopped me in my tracks.  Wow!  That girl is photogenic.  I felt like I was working on an ad from a magazine.  She’s like a little model!!  Her momma needs to put her in commercials, no joke!  Look at how beautiful she is!

Hello, gorgeous eyes!
