bonnie blue.

Today has been the craziest day and I am positively beat. But, I have yet to go to sleep withough posting a sneak peek of the day's session and today will be no exception. Since last year's bluebonnet field has become a parking lot, I've been desperate to find a replacement. I passed this place on my way to take the kids to school this morning. This little cutie's mom was SUCH a trooper! I told her the flowers are perfect, the weather is perfect, the timing is perfect...can we make it happen today???

And, just like that, she has packed up little miss M (note: her name is not "bonnie") and next thing you know, we're venturing around in this field of wildflowers. All it took was a little Pirate's Booty and miss M was willing to stay in one spot just long enough for me to snap a few pics.

Keep in mind, this may be part one of our time with miss M, so stay tuned for more pics in the future. Thanks, E! It was GREAT to meet you and drive around with you today!

lucky.

Lucky for the beautiful weather that let us play outside today.

Lucky for this dress that fluttered so perfectly in the breeze.

Lucky for the light that fell on her just perfectly.

Lucky for the little one that I'll get to photograph in a few months.

Lucky for that perfect little baby belly.

Lucky to have worked with you today, T!

You did great and you look just beautiful, hon!

little dolls.

The title and the pictures speak for themselves, I believe.

This expression cracked me up.

"He's got the whoooooole world in his room..."

Beautiful children, beautiful home.

Getting the two of them in the same picture together: priceless.

Thank you, M, for a fantastic session today!

the view from here.

There are times when the magic of Austin, Texas just hits you and fills your sails. Like tonight. Here is this beautiful couple, SxSW has taken over downtown, great music and the smell of Mexican food fill the air, it's warm with a wonderful breeze, a brand new life is just peeking around the corner, the sunset casts a soft glow over the city...and you think, "Wow. It's great to be alive in Austin, Texas, tonight."

I said I wanted her to look urban chic. She nailed it.

You would not believe what surrounded us in the ally. (Okay, so not all of Austin is perfect. )

These two are so very much in love. Sigh.

See what I mean? Austin, the people, the atmosphere...

...simply stunning.

The beautiful Miss M...are you out there? If so, I have a little CD of images that you might be interested in. Give me a buzz, hon!

All I can say is wow. Just wow. Isn't she stunning? You may or may not recognize her, but I've been fortunate enough to be part of some very important events in this family's life. They married out of state, though, so I finally got my chance to do some bridals after-the-fact. Soooooo thrilled to have had this opportunity.

(I was there the day this little cutie was born!)

Um. loved this.

[Edited to add another shot of little J 'cuz he's sooooooo adorable.]

A few more of Romeo...

Just can't get enough of this cuteness!
