The Lowry's New Addition | Bulverde Newborn Photographer

I had about 2.8 seconds last week to spend with the Lowry's. They just had their second child, Dylan Kay on June 15th and I couldn't wait to meet her. It's a crazy/busy time for them and it makes me exhausted to think about what they just went through.

Reagan's birthday was Monday, the 13th, she had a baby on Wednesday, the 15th, they officially signed the closing papers to sell their old home on the same day, then they moved on June 19th to Bulverde. Seriously, I think I need to lie down.  They downsized significantly from their Houston home and plan to build a new home on their property over the next two years, but in the meantime . . . they're in pretty tight quarters. After going through all of this, they were still open to me swinging by and staying the night with them - they are just that way. We talked, we drank a cold beer, we hung an extremely heavy flat screen T.V., we ate fried chicken and we managed to get these pictures taken before I had to leave the next morning. I wanted so badly to stay the day to help my best friend unpack boxes, or play with my God son, Whitt, or just be there to support she and Wade through this time.

They're such a great family and continue to just roll with the punches, while having a lot of laughs in between. I only hope that I'm as laid back as they are once I have kids of my own someday.

Congratulations Lowry's, you continue to amaze us all in what adorable children you keep producing. ;)

Love,

Maisee Anne MacGibbon | Newborn | Austin Photographer

I'm a little behind on posting these new born pics of Maisee, seeing as she's about four months old now. :) Ashlee and Justin were so great during this shoot and were so very patient with the process. We all assumed that she would sleep throughout, but as you can see, she was wide awake. I later found out from Trisha (Ashlee's sister) that Maisee fell asleep as soon as I left their home. Ha! I am definitely looking forward to seeing her in July and capturing how much she has grown. Congratulations Ashlee and Justin!

Love,

The Conoley Family | Expecting | Dallas Photographer

I recently had the honor of taking my cousin Kenny and his wife, Megan's maternity pictures with their two kids, Blake and Jake. Kenny and Megan are such wonderful and fun-loving parents who immediately fell in love with one another . . . and then a few years later, fell in love with parenthood. Their house is jam packed with of love and laughter and I can't wait to meet their new addition, Pepper Jane Conoley. Pepper was born (8 lbs, 2 oz) on May 11, 2011 and I couldn't be more excited for them and their growing family. Congratulations to the Conoley's and thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your amazing journey together. Enjoy!

 

Much love,

Sherwood Forest Faire | 2011| Austin Photographer

Kris, Ethan and Kris' friend Andy decided to camp out this year at The Sherwood Forest Faire in McDade, Texas. I, on the other hand was happy to meet up with the boys and Kris' family on Saturday and managed to have a really good time. For those of you who aren't aware, this is a much smaller, cleaner and more wholesome version of the Texas Renaissance Festival in Montgomery, Texas. I'm glad to say that I didn't have to look at any chain-link thongs at this faire . . . thank goodness. Kris wrote about the Sherwood Forest Faire last year, if you would like to check it out here.

This chick kept freaking us out by the way she was creeping around us. 

 Circa Paleo performed and they were amazing - my favorite is the "Last of the Mohicans" cover that they perform.

The Fox scared me a little, but he reminded me of Lucy, so I had to take a few of him.  

 My niece, Abigail Ruth - cutest pirate we saw that day.

 Kim, James, Kris and Ethan

 Happy little pirate family. :)

 Deby and Charlie - best in-laws in the world.

 The grandparents with their grandchildren.

 Cousins - Ethan and Abbey

 Andy and Kris

 It was a good day. :) 

Love,
