I like this toy option!  It’s such a simple concept:  string and buckets. Plus it makes you taller.  And it’s pink! 

Consider this an “action” shot.  She was moving fast…all I got was her backside as she “sprinted” by me.

We’re pretending to fly!  That’s me and Lucy, doing our best airplane impression.

I can’t believe it’s been a year since my visit to Idaho!  Here’s my friend Carol (she’s the mom)(I feel I have to point that out because she looks pretty great, eh?) and her stylin’ girls.  Ah, they grow up so fast…

Happy Birthday to Hula Hoop Girl, Miss Alina Prax of La Dolce Vita Photography.  Here she shows good form and also highlights the neon phrase “ici tout est bon”.  Which is entirely true on one’s birthday.  All is Good Here.

Location:  Lustre Pearl, downtown Austin.

Big birthday hello and happy wishes to Jim.  Hope you are enjoying some ribs from Smittys and a Shiner!

Cat versus computer and I’ll let you decide who won.  I love the look on his bewildered kitty face:  “can I get some help here?  huh?  can’t you see that I need petting?”

My friends J & J bought a house way out in the Texas countryside.  It’s a beautiful old Victorian with many wonderful little details.  Fun to photograph and the housewarming was a smash too!

This portrait made me happy in so many ways.  I got to use my old Brownie.  I got to make a lovely black and white image.  And it’s of two of my favorite people on the planet, my friend Alina and her daughter Lucy.  Good stuff.

Alina Prax of La Dolce Vita Photography had reasons to go to Ft Worth awhile back and she talked me into going.  We had a blast.  We goofed around a lovely old gas station plus the Stock Show buildings to do some pix.  This is exactly the kind of thing we each do with our clients for engagement sessions, so it was cracking us up to do it just for us.  We heart Ft. Worth!

Happy Birthday to Yvette, shown here on her very first trip to Salt Lick BBQ and her first visit with us in Texas.  I know she’s wishing she were in this fair state today, but I’m sure she’s having a grand birthday at home with Fred.  We miss y’all!
