Midnight Madness

It’s almost midnight in Austin. I should be exhausted- lots of (exciting) things going on in my life and I have never worked harder on such little sleep – but I cannot seem to shut off the day. Two weeks ago, four years to the day my brother passed away, we welcomed a sweet little girl into this world. We are totally smitten; she has stolen our hearts and changed our world forever. We mailed an announcement to our families last week and I wanted to be sure they had received it before sharing it with my bloggers… so here it is.

Meet Baby Tulsi! And feel free to share any tips you may have for a first-time mom.

A Dash of Pink

Hello world! I am 39 weeks today and still no sign of baby.

Before we make a run downtown for Car2Go’s public launch and enjoy some food, sun and music I thought I’d share two photos from my early morning sessions. Nothing beats crawling in grass and climbing park benches with two pretty little girls in your pregnant glory. There is something about pink tulle that I cannot resist.

There’s more to come. Have a great weekend all!



M1a's Turning One

“It’s my Birthday and I’m turning One.  If my party is anything like this downtown shoot, it will be a whole lot of fun!”

Today, Mel and I headed over to the Brazos Lofts in downtown Austin and captured several firsts: my first attempt at sidewalk graffiti, Mia’s first birthday session, and Mia’s first tour of the Kathy Womack gallery. (Media overload!) We had a great time and more importantly our shoot was successful,  sans tears or citations.

Mia was as cute as a bug and happy and fun. Happy birthday, Mia!
