We always love working pets into family portraits. They are so much fun and show off the whole family. Mueller Park is dog-friendly (and brand new!) so it made the perfect setting.

Taylor wanted something purely Austin for her Senior Portraits, so we made the hike up Mt. Bonnell. What a spectacular view

These two were as much fun as their outfits are cute! We met at the Arboretum where played on the cows, battled fireants, and even did some reading!

This little one gave us a real run for our money. Despite the very hot day, she was full of energy and wanted to run, Run, RUN. There isn’t much reasoning to be done with a 1 year old, so we just chased and played and had a fabulous time.

Downtown Round Rock, Texas has a lot of great nooks and crannies for portrait sessions with small groups. And, there is a big green field with a pretty wall that makes a perfect backdrop for sitting poses.

Shannon wanted something unique for their family images. After getting rained out, we ended up at their venue on a rainy day, anyway. (No complaints here. I remember how bad/dry last summer was!) We had fun dodging rain drops and crafting photo spots out of corners of the place. Big huge thanks to Spider House for letting us play in your space.

Lauri probably didn’t consider when she’d be doing bridal portraits when she picked an early fall wedding date. Boy, was it hot! We also had a few adventures along the way: I almost passed out a couple of times, we crossed paths with an interesting character, Lauri posed with a peacock, and Fire/EMS came to assist the interesting guy. (Too bad Lauri had already changed, else we’d have images of her with the fire truck after EMS left for the hospital.)

Lauri, thank you for being such a trooper. In spite of all the calamity, it was a fabulous session. I really enjoy working with you! Use your password to view the whole gallery.

Oh what FUN was this session with Libby & Connie and their “widdle ones”. These roommates have become fast friends—you’d think they grew up together. So, this double session with them and their poochies was a blast! Fun For Friends with Furballs!

Connie & Libby, thank you for sharing such a fun evening with me. You can use your password to view the whole gallery online.

Sarah and her beau have an interesting relationship story to tell and it involves a destination wedding this summer.

We had such a great time with Baby E and Big Sis A at their portrait session!

Thanks, A & E (and mom & dad, too) for a wonderful time! You can use your password to visit the online gallery to see all the images. Enjoy!

We had such a fun time with Body & Gracie at a local park. They had a bit of a difficult time concentrating with so many distractions, but it was a beautiful day and well worth the outside session!

Wedding Open House

for engaged couples

Sun, March 21, 2010

12noon-3pm

at Haute Cakes Design Studio
13200 Pond Springs Rd., Ste A107
Austin, TX 78729

hosted by As You Wish photography

Join us for a Wedding Open House hosted by Haute Cakes Couture Desserts and As You Wish photography. Sample popular cake flavors and browse wedding images.

This week, we joined the Nuptial Essentials Association of Wedding Professionals (NEAWP) (@neawp on Twitter) organization in Austin. It is the only Texas-licensed wedding consultant program and is one of the two main groups for wedding professionals in Austin.

We’ve been searching for a group just like this one for months. Joining was an easy decision because the group was so warm, friendly, and welcoming. The members are wonderfully talented professionals that span mostly the early stages of the wedding-planning process (planners/coordinators, venues, photographers). Every single one is collegial, respectful, and genuine.

It will be great to see the wonderful things this group can offer our professional development to improve our service to clients.

“Thanks a bunch for being a part of our special day. The pictures turned out great!…We love the pictures and can’t decide on which ones to order.”
