One of my favorite people in the universe, Cara, gave birth to my new favorite baby in the world, Whitt, two weeks ago. I’m so excited for their growing family and being able to be there all along the way and document it from time to time. I’ve been thinking about their first photos as a family of four when I remembered.. I forgot to share their last session as a family of three! Matt, Cara, and Posey are one of my favorite families ever and I think it’s easy to see why.
How is it already the second week of February? That seems crazy since I still feel like I was celebrating new years a few days ago. These past two weeks have been busy with getting sick and balancing life, work, and play all at the same time. I partook in the longest and nicest picnic ever which was definitely a highlight. Side note, don’t ever go shopping for a picnic when you are 10 on the hungry scale because you will spend way too much money for food to eat on a blanket. Not pictured: getting in to a dance off with a stranger while going crazy to the cheesiest cover band ever in Dallas. If only I had remembered to instagram that moment.
Here’s this week’s installment of Insa-Monday!

We started last week off on the right foot at a lovely dinner with a group of fellow photographers and super sweet ladies at Contigo. We immediately followed that up with our first ever mechanical bull riding experience. Have you ever ridden a mechanical bull? It’s definitely…something. Terrifying? Embarrassing? Hilarious? The most fun ever? I’m still not sure, but I’m glad I (hesitantly) agreed to try it. By midweek, the weather seemed to officially reach Spring time status here in Austin, so we both spent some quality time outside. My favorite sunny-breezy-80 degree thing to do is sit on the roof of Whole Foods, enjoy a drink and a bite to eat, and then take a walk around Town Lake while the sun sets, which is exactly what I did. We ended the week celebrating the love of two more of our couples by photographing our second and third weddings of 2013. We’re so excited where this year is taking us!
Please enjoy our second installment of Insta-Monday as you take a peek into pictures from our personal lives.

Our last ‘Best of 2012′ post doesn’t quite fit into a specific category. Some of our favorite photos we take on wedding days come from those in between moments. When someone asks what my favorite part of photographing a wedding is, I almost always answer with getting ready. It’s not because I’m girly and like watching hair/make up/pampering, but I love the excitement and nervous energy and being witness to such honest moments. I love the hugs from friends and family that immediately follow the end of ceremonies. I love when everyone gets to sit down for dinner to laugh and talk and relax.
We love that this is our job. Here are our final favorite photos from the last 12 months. We can’t wait to see what 2013 brings us!
