Someone tell me what you’re supposed to do when you have a billion amazing shots and have to somehow narrow them down to a reasonable amount. I am equally entranced by both the earnest and fun images from this session.
This is just a quick look at a couple that caught my eye tonight as I was flipping through my images. Can’t wait to show you more!

Can’t wait to show you more from this gorgeous family. Such a long awaited and loved little girl.

If you’re in the area, you should check out Bonfet!, a local art and music studio! I had so much fun dropping in for this birthday party to do some studio photos for them. The kids were having so much fun painting (and the parents were having fun relaxing). They really did such a great job. It was fun seeing the kids’ creativity and their personal touches. Bonfet! also offers all kinds of other party options and private lessons. Check out their site or like their Facebook page to keep up on class schedules.

This last week I was fortunate enough to escape this blazing heat and miserable drought for a trip to Yosemite National Park. Please excuse the insane amount of photos I’m posting from this trip, but I just can’t help myself. While we do have an abundance of kind, down-to-earth people in central Texas, we just don’t have these kinds of natural wonders. I was mesmerized. And I desperately needed to be mesmerized.
I had the added bonus of getting to visit my sister since she works at the park. Plus we had our own tour guide for the couple days we were there. And a big thanks to my husband’s parents for watching our 1.5 year old daughter for a couple days so we could thoroughly explore this incredible place without stopping every three feet to marvel at a pinecone, as cute as that can be.
Okay, here we go with the photos. I’ll be blabbing a lot throughout the post too.
That poor innocent soul at the bottom is my favorite.
Can I take a moment to say: un-freaking-believable. How is one place so naturally majestic?

Typically I don’t post this many photos from a single session (for time and brevity’s sake), but I just couldn’t restrain myself this time. Everything about this session was incredible — the people, the mood, the locations, the people, the people, the people. I love them. And I absolutely love these images of them because they are so them. Since the first email I received from them I was dying to meet them and photograph them, and they were just as awesome as they sounded.
We were doing some three generational photos, and this was one of the first shots of the day. As you can tell, we had a lot of fun from the very beginning. You gotta love when your clients are so naturally natural.
This couple is amazing. They were fun and affectionate and romantic, and I felt like I was shooting for an engagement. Young love is beautiful and exciting, but photographing such a happy couple after they’ve raised their kids and been together for decades adds so much more to the romance.
I asked them to walk to the bottom of the ramp, and completely unprovoked they started dancing together. Swoon. I love these shots.
The reason the family was all together for this occasion was to celebrate the 50 years this couple has been married. Their son scheduled the session with me, and I loved his descriptions of his family members in his emails to me. After I read this line from his email, I knew I’d be asking them to make their own music to dance to: “Now-days, they’re master-gardeners and I can still see some of the old magic between them when they dance, assuming the band is to their liking.” How perfect that they’re dancing in their very own garden as well!
I LOVE this family shot. I think one of my favorite things about it is that no one is looking at me at all. It’s like I’m not even there.
