Happy Anniversary to Jenn and Jim.  Their wedding was in the middle of a hurricane forecast, but on the day it turned out to be sunny sunny sunny.  Just like them.  Look at those smiles!

I’m a big fan of Keith Carter’s work and so is Alina.  Here she in action.

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.
