This super fun fam calls themselves The Carrier Five. And when I say they’re fun, that’s really an understatement. You can find them at baseball games, soccer games, golf tournaments, cheerleading competitions, family vacations, birthday parties and even doing “market research” for a fun family business in the works. ;-)
I’ve known The Carrier Five since before their start, many, many years ago. And I’m pretty sure they just don’t slow down. Because with three spunky little Loves like these kiddos, of course they’re going to be crazy busy!
It goes without saying that mom and dad are going to have their hands FULL with sassy gals!! It’s clear to see, they were absolute naturals in front of the camera. But not only were they beautiful young ladies, more importantly, they were incredibly polite lil sweethearts. Amen to seeing little humans being raised so well.
I’m so glad they decided on my Premium Photo Collection, because their were sooooo many great photos from their session. So many, I’ll be posting a second blog at a later date, sharing some big news on their behalf. Can we just focus on how cute these two love birds are, in the meantime?!
This session has actually been in the works for many years! Their absolutely STUNNING momma contacted me about photos not too long before I moved away many years ago. We weren’t able to schedule their session then, but I have to say that it was WELL worth the wait!! I’m a firm believer that momma’s need their photos taken more often and the photos below are why!
During their pre session consultation, we chatted about outfits and planned the different photos that were important to them. Because I was already in the area, I even scouted out several locations. The day of their session, the first and thankfully, easiest location was by far the best option. It was the perfect spot for a luscious spring session for The Carrier Five!! I bet you can’t tell we’re actually on a nature trail and disc golf course. ;-)

Austin Maternity Photographer | Engler Maternity Session
Kids, MaternityThe first time I met this sweet momma, I knew she was just as beautiful on the inside, as she was on the outside. We met at my first Burlingame Mother’s event back in 2018. Moving to a new city, I was eager to connect with other moms. Spoiler alert – I was right. In addition to learning she was an all around awesome person, I also discovered what a talented musician she was! I love learning fun things about the different families I work with.
We did their maternity session at Mills Canyon Nature Preserve in May of 2019. Wow, that seems like a lifetime ago. Regardless, I’m excited to finally share some of our favorite photos! Big Sister was such a DOLL. I’m honored to have documented this special time for their growing family!

Sweet & Sassy River Grace…
Kids, NewbornsSweet and sassy little River is already four and a half years old!! After sharing her families photos on my last blog, I just had to revisit and show off her newborn photos. You can see, she has clearly been a bundle of sunshine since her early days. River was born in Austin, and I lived in Houston at the time. So, I am beyond grateful I had the opportunity to capture all her cuteness.
I didn’t have my typical mobile newborn set up for her session, as I do for most the newborn sessions I do in home, but we made magic regardless. And her incredibly handsome big brother Carter, was SO PROUD to show his new baby off. Though his attention span may have been the length expected of a spunky little man, he was so excited to be a part of sisters first photo shoot.
He even insisted we take a (heart melting) photo of her cute tiny toes!
Watching these two grow up has been so fun. Just as I would have predicted four and a half years ago, their sweet and sassy gal is thoroughly spoiled by her daddy and big brother. In fact, this girl most certainly keeps everyone on their toes with her powerful little personality. Her momma’s heart may be full, but her hands…LOL. Someone may need to send a little help. ;-)
If you are expecting a precious new addition in Austin soon, please reach out now, so we can chat!
Back in Austin
Families, KidsAfter moving all around and finallyyyy making my way back to Austin, it’s only appropriate that this would be the first family I photograph! One of my very best friends, and as a result, one of Savvy Images’ very first clients. I am beyond blessed to have fun friends who whole heartedly support me and what I love doing!! I’ve photographed their cute family from the announcement of their first little Lover, for their first maternity photo session, as well as both of their newborn sessions (you can check their first one here).
Most anyone could assume that photographing little kids definitely keeps you on your toes. But my favorite thing about it, is bringing out their fun *big* LITTLE personalities. And these two, most certainly have those, without a doubt! LOL
We decided to do their photos at Brushy Creek Park. Being new to the area again, I was a bit nervous photographing them there because I hear it can get extremely busy (and even hostile) in the fall. I was actually friends with the only other photographer we ran into! It was so nice to hug her neck after several years. I look forward to rebuilding my little photography network, as well as my list of photoshoot locations here in Austin.
Can we take a moment to focus on the precious momma’s boy and daddy’s girl photos!?
And of course, we had a capture Mom and Dad putting out the vibe. ;-) I was pumped when even Dad agreed that their photo session was a painless as it could be. I mean… what dad like to get all snazzed up to herd cats (umm, I mean kids) into taking family photos in a perfectly overgrown field?!
The week before their photo session, I helped style their outfits. This is a service I offer all Savvy Images clients during their pre session consultation call. Mom had an idea of what she wanted, including several options to choose from and I helped piece and coordinate it all together. I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised how well they unintentionally coordinated with the field we chose! ;-) And the perfect golden hour light, was the icing on their perfect portrait cake.
A great deal of thought and planning goes into a successful family photo session. Therefore, I always provide my families with all the information I can, to set them up for success.
If you know these two well, then you know the sass and silliness I had to embrace. So. Much. Fun. I loved every single moment. I am so excited to reunite with old clients and get back to photographing fun families here in Austin!
If you or anyone you know need professional photos here in Austin, please keep Savvy Images in mind.

All about Love
Families, Kids, PersonalI have been thinking a lot about love. Loving those around you, loving who you are, loving what you stand for and loving what you do. A fellow creative entrepreneur recently posted on Instagram asking, “What are you willing to do for a whole year and never get paid?” This really struck a cord with me.
This. At this very moment in my life, this is what I would do.
Documenting beautiful moments like these is what I love doing.
I had originally planned to do another blog post today on Valentine’s Day, but my mind kept going back to these images. Timeless and simple, yet they radiate pure and boundless love. All that is important.
Shortly after relocating to Burlingame, I was contacted by a fellow mom about taking holiday photos for the Down Syndrome Connection of the Bay Area. With so many unknowns up in the air, I was not able to commit do doing so at first. But as the universe would have it, I was ultimately able to. Even after many obstacles, I am so very glad it worked out. Donating my personal time to photograph these fun families was one of the highlights of my holiday season. I smile every time I think about the incredible energy that took place during each of these mini sessions. I was so eager to share the photos with each family and now I’m so excited to finally share their contagious love with you!
Love and be loved. Happy Valentine’s Day!!
Sunshine & Smiles
Families, KidsThis family photography session was filled with an abundance of two things… Early morning sunshine and smiles! After relocating back to Texas from Alaska with our new little one, it was JUST what I needed. I was officially still on maternity leave, but this beautiful family was good friends with one of my past maternity and newborn clients, so I couldn’t resist the opportunity to work with them also! I am SO glad I did. They needed fun new photographs, and I was itching to get outdoors and take photos! Even if it was the middle of August, on a very warm & steamy Texas morning. We all almost melted away, but thankfully they trusted me when I told them that they would not look like they just went for a swim in the lake behind them, in their photos. We did their session right down the street from their home. They spend a good amount of time on the lake there, so it was only appropriate. When Mom told me what they were going to be wearing in our ‘brainstorming’ pre-consulation call, I was even more excited to work with them. Seriously. Precious. Her sassy little lady was going to be wearing an incredibly classy little dress JUST like one Elsa would wear in the movie Frozen!! And she sported that thing perfectly with loads of great smiles! It was so much fun to capture these two munchkin’s big little personalities and all of them together as a family. I was very excited to know that they were very happy with all the great photos options they had to show off in their home. Especially a series of large corresponding prints of the fun silhouette photos in their dining room area! Personal fine art, my favorite kind.
Colorful Family Photos
Families, KidsThis mom and I crossed paths many times since we each moved to Alaska, and I always got excited when she expressed an interested in having new family photos taken. She had a go-to photographer back in New Orleans, but since moving, it had been several years since they’d had family photos taken. Because of the recent news that we were going to move back to Texas, her busy life with the three cute little ones below, and the crap conditions Mother Nature has presented Anchorage with this winter, I was afraid that it would never happen. But I’m VERY happy to be sharing their colorful family photos with you guys today, because clearly it did! We all know that life gets busy, and it’s SO easy to put things like getting new family photos taken put on the back burner. Completely understandable! But you also have to keep in mind that those cute little scrunchy noses grow up quickly, and the memories that pass can no longer be preserved. Though the conditions were not what either of us had in mind for their great “Alaskan” photo session, I think it turned out beyond perfect for them! We didn’t wait on the perfect moment, we MADE the moment perfect. Heck, I even found twenty dollars frozen in the thawing ice while checking out this spot for their session. This is actually a pretty popular spot to have photos taken here in Anchorage, and I’m so glad that I saved it for one of my final photo sessions. Seriously, I don’t think I could imagine a more perfect backdrop for all their fun colorful winter coats! During their session their mom also mentioned that because of the teal bridge, these photos will actually coordinate very well with the last family photos that they had taken in New Orleans! I just LOVE when a session works out perfectly for my clients. Their family session album will be the perfect way to show off those silly little laughs for years to come!
A Rainbow Baby Announcement
Families, Kids, MaternityThis cute family has an EXCITING and colorful announcement to make… They are expecting a beautiful little Rainbow Baby girl this June!! Pretty early in my pregnancy, I was taking a one on one pilates class from this fit hot momma, and I confided my exciting pregnancy news to her… only to find out a few short weeks later at a mutual friends baby shower, that SHE was expecting a baby girl also! I was so excited to finally have someone here in Anchorage to swap real time pregnancy stories and advice with. We chatted briefly about doing pregnancy announcement photos, and within a week or so (thanks to a great idea she had) we formulated a super unique plan for their pregnancy announcement photos. And that’s when I learned all about what exactly what she meant… A “rainbow baby” is a baby that’s born following a miscarriage or still birth. Once I heard her explanation, I felt like such a ding dong. It made SO much sense. We all know that beautiful rainbows appear after dreadful storms. By incorporating a rainbow umbrella into her session following their past storm, was the PERFECT way to remember her precious angel baby boy, while celebrating and announcing the news of their beautiful baby girl. I just love the vivid pop of color against the Alaskan snow. It was superrrr chilly out, so we made sure their photo session was short and sweet. But regardless of the temperature, you can still tell from their photos that big sister is VERY excited and proud to share their Rainbow Baby news! Just as she should be. I’m so eager to photograph them again once mom’s cute little belly grows a bit more!
Super Fun Family Photos…
Families, KidsThis fun mom wanted a little variety to be captured in her family photos, but most importantly, she wanted them to be very unique to their family, and mostly about the little one’s in her life. I just love when parents make the sessions about their kiddos, and let them take the lead! This was their first winter in Alaska, so capturing the kiddos playing in the snow was a must. Well, we did we best we could, with the snow we’ve been given this year! ;-) They were adorable, and it’s clear that this little sister loved her little brother SO MUCH, she could squeeze his head off…haha. One of her big hugs, sent them tumbling to the ground, but no biggie there. Continue on! Before we ended up getting too cold, we took it indoors to warm up a bit, and grabbed dad for a few family photos all together in their cozy living room. As you can see, their little ones may be a bit ticklish! Then for the perfect touch of variety and major FUN, we moved it to the playroom! I’m so glad that my lovely (and super fun) assistant was there to play along and sing Little Mermaid songs. How neat will it be for them to look back on these photos, to see the very spot where they spent so much time hanging out and having fun together!? Especially during that VERY photo session! Little brother is going thru a “tasty finger phase”, and even though we strived to capture lots of his cute smiles (with big sisters help), mom also wanted to capture this time in their lives as it truly is. I seriously love that my clients are so genuine! We eventually had their fur siblings join in for a few photos, and managed to snag dad one last time for a grand finale family shot. The pups had no interest in having their photo taken, but we still manage to capture their entire family together!! I’m so excited to share their fun family photos with all of you!

A Cozy Sibling Session
Babies, KidsI was pumped when these little one’s lovely momma contacted me about a sibling session, and four month photos of her newest cute addition! She contacted me monthsss in advance and knew exactly what she was looking for. I like it… She was a woman on a mission to find a great photographer in Anchorage, because their long time family photographer had recently moved out of state. She liked my photography style, and I knew her kiddos would be fun, and oh so precious to photograph… I was confident that it would be a win for everyone! ;-) It was incredibly chilly outside, so we all gladly opted for some cozy, fun photos in doors. We were successful in getting several great photos of her littlest man, that were similar to his sister and brothers four month photos. I love that what she did for her first, she committed to also doing for all her other little loves. And of course we had to get some photos of all of them together! Now THAT was a challenge plus three! Going into a session with kiddos of their age, is always a bit of a gamble… and then when there are FOUR kiddos their age, oohhhhhh Lordy! We were patient, we were persistent, and all was a tad bit chaotic, BUT we succeeded!! With the help of Dad’s silly faces, jelly beans, and an impromptu Batman costume change, we managed to capture lots of major cuteness. Including a few sneaky shots of mom hanging with her munchkins! Isn’t that what life is all about!? Because they’re completely in their comfort zone, and we did the session (mostly) on their terms, you can truly see all of their little personalities come to life in their photos. We got what we needed, and let the rest of their sibling session just fall into place. Just.as.it.should. I just love sessions like this, and am so excited to finally debut their photos! Mom wanted to make sure she got all of her Christmas cards and photo gifts out before any of their family and friends saw them online. What a lovely AND patient momma these kiddos have. Not only did she complete the photo collage of her four month old youngin’s, she now also has a gorgeous gallery wrapped canvas of them ALL together to proudly display in their beautiful home!
A Rustic Family Session
Families, KidsLast week we showcased a fun Urban Family session, so this week, I thought it would be great to feature a fun RUSTIC Family Session! It also took place in Austin. I thought that I was really putting myself up to a challenge for scheduling TWO, two years old sessions back to back, but they both went incredibly smoothly! I took this little guys newborn photos about two years ago, and it was such a treat to photograph him again. He has turned out to be a daring and inquisitive little guy. Because Grandma is such a big part of their life, she also wanted her to participate. Of course I was thrilled about the idea! His momma wanted to incorporate a little rustic Texas charm in their family session, and I knew JUST the spot for that. Ironically their location worked out well for many reasons, as it was right down the street from their home and where I was staying. We saw an airplane, turtles and even a cool caterpillar. We had SUCH a good time roaming around taking photos, that it didn’t even really seem like a photo session! That’s always a good plan (or as I like to call it, the non-plan plan) for a toddler session. ;-) I’m so grateful to work with wonderful repeat clients like these guys, and hope to continue taking photos for them for many years to come!
