WILDlife

I've been getting a lot of questions about our travel/living plans lately so I thought I'd clear it up a bit. I think by now everyone knows we lived in an Airstream for a long time, and traveled the country, and then arrived in Austin and felt it was time to take a breather.

For a while, it seemed like we'd sell the camper and settle down in this desert city hugged by the Colorado River.

But.

I simply cannot/will not extinguish the wildfire inside of me. I long for hair that smells like campfire and hanging clothes to dry on tree branches after long after dark lake swims. I long for road trips with the windows down, getting lost entirely on purpose. I long for 25-feet of living space, all cramped in and cozy, on rainy mornings. I am not ready to 'settle down.'

So here's the scoop.

In 10 days we will travel with our beloved Airstream up to New England. We will be there, exploring, camping and shooting, all Spring + Summer.

Then, we will come back to our sweet little bungalow in downtown Austin, TX and focus on watering our roots: hockey practices and ballet recitals and catching lightning bugs in jam jars under the front yard oak.

For inquiries:

2014 is booked completely, with a few Austin openings in November.

I am booking weddings, and River Story sessions,  for 2015 + 2016 in both locations.

 

Here's to answering the call of adventure, no matter what...

River Stories // Delivered

It never, ever gets old.

Each and every River Story session I send to my incredible clients makes my heart completely GLOW.

So in love with these magical waters, and all the beauty they bring to the world.

Another Just For Fun

I love these local florists who grow their own blooms.

They do all of the flower crowns for my River Story sessions here in Austin.

Tonight at sunset, just for fun, our daughters put on their favorite Little House on the Prairie dresses, and played in the petals.

They caught ladybugs, and had inch worms tickle their arms, and sneezed from smelling the sweet peas.

My t-shirt still smells like a garden. And I love it.

We take the Airstream up to New England in just a few weeks, but there's no doubt Texas is so beautifully becoming home.

I cannot wait to create more magic with Petals, Ink. Just so grateful.

Just For Fun / Gold Pants

In just a few weeks my calendar gets stacked.

Beautiful bohemian weddings and late-night river stories and sunset engagement sessions in the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens and...

I cannot wait to get lost in the vortex of a photography flurry.

But for now, I'm putting on my gold pants and my favorite undies with my homegirl and getting crazy silly in the park.

Being on the other side of the camera is fun!
