Never Leave Home Without it ~ Austin Child Photographer

Boredom + One grassy field + one cute lil’ girl + a few new post -processing techniques = some awesome shots!

While waiting in the truck for my hubby this past weekend, I took my little Miss Teagan out to a field by the parking lot and we passed the time taking photos. I never know when inspiration will hit, so I never leave home without my camera.:)

Tried an “airy” black and white processing on these, along with a bleached color technique. Not sure if I’m a huge fan of it, but I felt it fit the cold, overcast sky, rainy day. Enjoy!

They Made my Job Easy ~ Round Rock Family Photographer

Despite a few detours in the road with weather & illness, I was able to get this beautiful family in for their session this past Sunday. It was such a laid-back, easy going session; they really did make my job easy. Thank you Chad and Kerri for braving the cold weather on Sunday. The wind had everyone’s hands feeling like ice cubes. Chad, it was also nice “takin’ shop” with you about photography.

Little Miss Sunsine here was such a joy to photograph. She just started walking, and it brought back memories of my own children at that stage – a little stiff legged, wobbley, adventurous. She could have walked back and worth between both parents 100 times before getting tired of this new little game. With each pass, she would joyfuly give each parent a big hug & smile.

We headed down to a grassy field which was a big hit with this sweet baby girl. Her Mommy gathered up a big handful of purple field flowers and she was completely content.

Funny side story – to help with the happy vibe during the photo shoot, Mom played the Black Eye Peas’ song “Boomboompow” on her iPhone. This precious girl got up and started getting her groove on, bouncing up and down. Perfectly happy…….. until the song ended………….. and this is what happend………..

Hey, the girl knows what she wants, right?:)

Chad - These turned out very good. You were able to capture the “moment” which makes the pictures look alive in addition to being technically awesome.

I’d recommend your work anytime.

Just doesn’t get any better than this…. ~ Austin Child Photographer

Everytime it snows in Texas it’s a HUGE deal, guess ‘cuz we just don’t see all that often. We were extremely lucky to get a full day of snow this past week. Usually, it only comes in spurts and lasts for about 30 minutes. As my two younger children played in the snow that morning, I became really sad that my oldest son couldn’t be there (he was in school). To my surprise, when he got off the bus that afternoon from school, it began snowing again! What luck! I secretly took him outside alone to play so that I could capture some shots of him too!

It just doesn’t get any better than this….

March 1, 2010 - 12:55 am

Shannon - yay for snow! So fun for the kiddos to experience once in awhile! It’s been a much snowier winter for us too!

March 1, 2010 - 8:13 pm

Manuella Pararas-Hul - We get way too much of the white stuff up here in Canada, but this year we didn’t get much at all, and you’re making me miss it,lol. Actually I would be happy if it snowed a little for one day adn then went all away,lol.

March 4, 2010 - 6:53 am

Stacey Lund - Awesome pictures!

March 4, 2010 - 1:48 pm

Sarah Henderson - I LOVE IT!!! What FUN! I love your fusion piece here too! Great memories for your kidlets!
