Sprout Portraits » Fresh Family Photography in Austin, TX

me

I live in South Austin with my husband, our three kids, my three chickens, and our old dog, Roo, who has been with us from the beginning. I'm often frazzled but rarely bored.

I love good books, lively conversation, Ruta Maya coffee, eating out, happy hour, my friends, photography, and my wild family.

A little extra insight from the two who can talk:
"You always say I'm tired and you're always incorrect." (Seamus, at age 5)
"Don't sing, Mom. You are not a[n] animal rescuer." (Finn, at age 2)

p.s. I was 10 weeks pregnant with Maggie in this photo (taken by the wonderful Bobbi+Mike)

froggy boots and owl hat

I met this soon-to-be family of four at the greenbelt on a Saturday morning. For some reason the greenbelt is always a early spring/late summer place for me. Turns out it’s beautiful all year round. Crunchy leaves, plenty of sunlight poking through the trees, and dry creek bed (not to mention an adorable 2 year old boy with awesome accessories and and his up-for-anything parents). My favorite. I’ll be heading there in the Fall more often.

Here’s the same greenbelt access in the Spring and Summer.

Just a quick one from this morning’s shoot at GaGa. Clearly what every baby needs is a chair full of blabla dolls.

Babies | Austin Preschool Photography

Wednesday, November 3, 2010 Posted in Children, School Photography

A few weeks ago I went back to Seamus’s old preschool to take portraits of the kids. It was exhausting but so much fun. The first morning I tackled the infant room with the assistance of my cousin, Melissa. I was a tiny bit nervous that I’d catch them at the separation anxiety phase and get only tears. But I have to say, these babies loved me (the feeling was mutual).
