I love being an Austin family lifestyle photographer and getting the opportunity to meet so many new families and capture special memories.

I got the pleasure of meeting this family bright and early on this chilly December morning. Melissa and I decided to do their fall family photos in the heart of Austin and in a place they actually love spending a lot of their time, so it was fun to do it in a place they love so much. From the moment they showed up, mom, dad, Casey and even their adorable little pup Colonel were all excited and ready to go! We found so many great spots and had such a great time along the way. Sweet Casey was telling me all about what his silly Elf Marco has been up to and I had the best time listening to his awesome stories. He is definitely one cool kid and made my job of an Austin family lifestyle photographer so easy!

I loved getting to know this amazing family and I can’t wait to get to see them again!

“Courtney! Oh my word, you’re so amazing! Thank you so much for freezing with us this morning, it was such a fun memory to make and your photos are just amazing. I really can’t choose any favorites. We’ve definitely found our favorite family photographer, and will be sending friends and family your way for sure! Thank you so much!!!” – Melissa, Mike, Casey & Colonel

When I am heading out to do Austin family photos for a client, I am always a little nervous yet excited. I go into each session wanting it to be fun, relaxed and I want to be able to capture all of those sweet moments. On my way to this particular family session, I thought a lot about this family and praying for a memorable evening. Amanda and Roy have a gorgeous little girl who just turned one in November so they wanted to capture some family photos and some of just Madelyn. They also wanted to capture a memory of the two little girls they lost exactly two years ago on December 2nd. Amanda had told me their story of that day and it literally broke my heart. I can not imagine everything they went through.

For this session, Amanda’s grandparents, Bandy and Popo, were with us and were literally our cheerleaders making little Madelyn laugh and smile the entire time. I had to get a photo of them HERE with her. You can clearly see how much they adore this sweet little girl.

I had such a great time doing these Austin Family Photos and can’t wait to see this family in the future.

As a Cedar Park lifestyle photographer, I so enjoy when I get to meet new families and do their fall family photos. This family was originally scheduled to do Christmas mini’s at the Elgin Tree Farm but due to the crazy weather and rain, we kept rescheduling and finally had a nice break in the weather to hold our session.

I had such a great time with these parents and their cute little guys. Mom and Dad were so relaxed and sweet. Big brother Tyler was so much fun and loved his baby brother. He was hilarious! Every time I would tell him to give me a big smile, he would basically do a jump towards me with the biggest grin possible, I loved it! Jake, only 4 months old, did so good! He was one happy little baby and even though it was pretty chilly, he was happy and content. As a Cedar Park lifestyle photographer, you do whatever you can to get those kiddos to smile, whether its singing, jumping out and doing peek-a-boo or even tickles. These kiddos were so easy and didn’t make me work too hard.

I hope to get to work with this adorable family again in the future!
