Hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas! I wanted to share these special and 'hard to come by' photos of Pike and Josie. They are two wonderful kids who I had the honor of photographing! Pike loves the camera and was easy! Josie, on the other hand, didn't want me or my camera anywhere near her. So I had to be incredibly sneaky in order to get these of her. It was worth it!
Oh, my sweet girl Amelia came in to help smooth things over for Josie!
...one of my favorites! There are so many special moments this time of year. Having kids of my own makes it that much better because I get to watch them take it all in. There is nothing like it! We went to the lighting of the tree at the Capitol this weekend (for the first time ever) and it made me feel so grateful to live in Austin. It was a magical night. My best friend, Laura wrote about a moment we had recently that I also wanted to share. Go to www.metalsgirl.blogspot.com and read about it. Ahhh, I love it all!
Have you heard of GivShop? If you haven't, you should check it out immediately! GivShop is a great site that showcases local business with really great discounts! Then, GivShop gives part of their profit to charity. I love GivShop and I'm really lucky to be featured on their site this Monday and Tuesday with a great deal on an hour long photoshoot. So if you have babies, kids, dogs, new engagement,.. etc, then you should check out my deal! Go to www.givshop.com , shop and give to a good cause! 
I recently told a Facebook friend that I might have to resort to "De-Friending" her (I'm sure she is worried). She posted this photo above along with the sob story of Luda and Chalupa, two dogs stuck in the Killeen Shelter. One look at that photo and I just couldn't help myself,.. I felt the insane need to help in some way. So, these two are now out of the shelter and in my crowded home (with 3 dogs of my own, 2 cats, 2 kids and a husband ,.. oh and a rat and a fish). Yes, I am COMPLETELY crazy, but glad I helped them. So now Boscoe and Maisey (renamed by my kids) are our new foster dogs through Blue Dog Rescue. And let me just say they are two of the most perfect dogs I've ever come across. Boscoe is a 5 year old, 80 pound Rottweiller with a heart of gold (and a few heartworms that he will be treated for). Maisey is a 5 year old 6 pound chihuahua who is just as sweet. They really do sleep like that all of the time. So, if you feel the need to adopt two wonderful dogs then you should check them out at www.bluedogrescue.com . As soon as they are healthy, we want them to go to a fabulous forever home! Here they are now,.. happy, happy! Now, let's get ready for the holidays people!

Tricia and Jay had a beautiful wedding at Westwood Country Club this past weekend! Their Corgis made the day even more special. Gizmo and Millie are two of the cutest dogs I've ever seen. It was a good day! I'll post more photos soon!
Tiffani and Trey had a beautiful wedding over-looking Lake Travis. They are my first bride and groom to leave in a boat. It was a great night!
Cute little Gracie was a slight challenge. Her parents spent the entire time prying things out of her hands before they went in her mouth. In the two above photos I think Gracie had reached a point of absolute frustration because everything was being taken away from her so she went for the arm. I love these photos. All-in-all the photo shoot was a success! Thanks for making my day Gracie!
