Holiday Pics Take FOUR: Family Style...

This is our lil' fam...
Winter 2010


We hit the streets of Austin
Texas to show how we like to roll...
South Congress style!
We started at The Woodland,
and traveled down the street all the way
to The Austin Motel making many stops
along the way. We ended our photo sesh
with an awesome dinner at our new
fave hamburger joint: Hopdoddy!
We promise to take YOU next time YOU visit!
Hope you are enjoying the pics.
The last series is tomorrow~
I PROMISE!

A Little Mommy On Monday: Holiday Photo Sesh With Mommy And Her Lil' Gals...

Pictures. I LOVE them.
I LOVE taking them,
styling them, and
looking at them.
What's even better
is when you find a friend
who has an amazing talent
at capturing your family.
Time after time.
Year after year.
{Many many thanks to YOU Dore!}
I think this holiday series is
my favorite. There is so
much color and life in these pics.
I feel they reflect where we are
at in our lives with our lil' gals,
with each other, and in our
fab city of Austin, Texas!
So much has happened in 2010.
I had a very challenging start to the year~
and I am ending it on a high.
I have regained strength,
stamina and sanity!
{Who doesn't loose a little
with kiddos???}
I am so grateful
to be in this place
of COLOR!

Our wonderfully talented friend,
Dorean Pope, recently tagged
along with our family of 3
to take a few holiday photos.
I was in quite a mood that afternoon~
I did NOT want my photo taken.
I could not be swayed with silly faces
or even bribed with food. I did
not want to be in a dress, tights, and fancy shoes...
I wanted to be running around,
digging in the dirt, and touching
the leaves. Mommy and daddy finally
gave up! We went home and even took a few
photos goofing around in our backyard (they were desperate!)
Mommy was hoping and praying that at least
one photo turned out. This is all we have
seen so far but we are thrilled...
We can't wait to see the rest!
Once again, thank you Dore!
We love you!

p.s. If you are in need of a photographer,

give Dore a buzz!
