I totally intended on doing something spectacular with this announcement, but here it goes, it’s not fancy, but you get the idea. I put all the names in a bowl and had my 6 year old pick one. (he wasn’t as excited about this as I was hoping). I just couldn’t compete with the cartoons that were on the tv. 
And the winner is……..
Big Announcement soon…..
I know my clients who had a session this past month in June are hitting refresh every couple of minutes waiting for the announcement of who won the 20×24 Free Canvas!
Winner to be announced soon, I promise!

Great Session on the Guadalupe River
I LOVE my job….. seriously! Everything about it! What I love most is for a brief moment, I get a glimpse of each family’s life, love, and connection. I am welcomed with open arms and am witness to the most precious & cherished moments between family members. And luckily for me, I get to capture those cherished moments with my camera for the family to remember for years to come.
I had a session yesterday morning in New Braunfels on (or should I say “in”) the Guadalupe River. Beautiful place! As each click of my camera went off, I kept gasping out loud, sometimes even jumping up and down like a little girl, knowing I had captured a beautiful image.
Every year, this family comes to Camp Huaco Springs to get away and relax. I am so glad they asked me to come down & capture their family memories this year. Mom & Dad, thank you so much for an amazing session (and the delicious breakfast taco afterwards). YUMMY! Your children were a joy to work with!
Here are a few sneak peeks for you to enjoy!
Just love this one!!! Lil’ brother has the sweetest look on his face & I love how protective big sister looks.
This lil’ man gave me these wonderful big grins all morning! Such a happy boy!
We walked to the middle of the river to this little piece of paradise to capture this image. Too cute!
Lovin’ the cowboy hat! I want one for myself!
And lastly, this was one of the last shots of the morning, hand in hand, walking back to the river bank and back to camp.

Introducing Oliver Lee ~ New Braunfels Newborn Photographer
I’m on a roll today; second post already!
I photographed this lil’ cutie about 2 weeks ago, and wanted to put together a slideshow of his portraits. Mom & Dad, thanks again for the opportunity to photograph your sweet baby boy! I was an honor. Enjoy!

Featured ~ Austin Photographer
This has been a while, but I keep forgetting to post it! A few months ago I was asked by the manager of Hamilton Twelve here in Austin Texas if they could use some of my images from a wedding I photographed.
Here is the link to where my images where featured on their blog:
Call them at (512) 264.1533 if you are interested in having your wedding/event there. It’s a beautiful place!
Such a Mess ~ Round Rock Child Photographer
My Lil’ Miss Teggies, she is such a mess! She’s the sassiest lil’ thing and very vocal when things aren’t the way she likes them. She’s 2 going on 12, loves to play with my makeup, and can keep up with her two older brothers in a game of superheros. She has put with with two haircuts from her brother Ashton, the last one leaving her with short bangs. When she grows up, I think she is going to be a singer because everytime my hubby & I play rock band, she wants to be the singer. She gets the bathroom stool, stands up on it in the middle of the livingroom and puts on a show for us all!
One this day, we went out to Mimi’s house - which, btw, is a great location for photo sessions. And for the simple bride of a fresh tomato from the garden, she performed for me - giving me such sassy poses with her hands on her hips, to shy poses with her looking down. God, I love her to pieces!
(again, I played around with some different post-processing)
My kind of girl, eating tomatoes right off the vine like an apple! She takes after her Momma on this one! YUM!
June 16, 2009 - 3:23 am - Oh she does have some sass doesn't she! Does she get it from her Mama??? She's adorable and these photos are perfect!
June 17, 2009 - 10:42 am - Wow...she is amazing!
June 18, 2009 - 3:17 am - She looks like a serious little spitfire. I can only imagine how much fun it must have been to capture all her little looks - and that great attitude. So cute!
June 24, 2009 - 6:18 pm - Love this set! She looks like the best kind of handful!
June 29, 2009 - 11:32 am - She's adorable! I love that little spunk in her. LOL Beautiful session.
Just havin’ some fun with photos!
There is something to be said about a great full color or black and white photo, but…… every now and then, I love to play around with some different post processing.
Here are just a few I’ve been playing around with lately.
DARK & MOODY
FADED GRAIN
WARM HONEY
OLD NEWSPAPER
SUNSHINE
VINTAGE WHITE
June 11, 2009 - 7:50 am - OMG I love them all and there is no way to pick a fave..They all rock!
June 11, 2009 - 6:54 pm - It's so much fun to play! These are all amazing!
June 12, 2009 - 3:42 am - You must play more often... I love all of these!!!
June 13, 2009 - 3:42 am - They are all fabulous!! Especially love the faded grain and sunshine pp!
June 15, 2009 - 1:26 am - ooohhh! I love these!!! I love the faded grain and vintage white! Isn't it fun to play around with different processes sometimes:)
June 15, 2009 - 2:44 am - These are drop-dead amazing. I love them all - but I think that sunshine girl might be my favorite!
June 15, 2009 - 3:37 am - Amazing, the processing on these is simply amazing!
June 29, 2009 - 11:33 am - These are great! I love them all. You do amazing work.
Playdate ~ Round Rock Photographer
I met up with the most amazing, fun-loving kids this past Sunday. During our consultation, Mom told me she wanted portraits of her kids “being kids” - playing, running, having fun - what kids do best! We played ring-around-the-rosie, swung, and splashed in the creek. What a day! I had the best time. Here are just a few images from our playdate on Sunday.
June 9, 2009 - 11:52 am - These turned out awesome! You captured their moment.
June 10, 2009 - 2:04 am - These are beautiful! Great job!
June 10, 2009 - 10:29 am - These are fantastic, the colors are bold and beautiful and I love the naturalness of all of these images.
June 10, 2009 - 11:14 am - BEautiful, Rae! You definitely answered Mom's call on these because I see kids being kids and having fun in every shot. Love your ability to capture such natural expressions of joy!
June 10, 2009 - 9:19 pm - what fun! Love playdates. The kids are so relaxed and the smiles come so easy
June 11, 2009 - 1:49 am - Love the images. Your color and clarity are spot on!!! Great images capturing children very natural acting as children, the way they should be captured!!!
