It’s another 1o on 10. I’m a little late this month so it’s 10 on 15. This day was from a recent trip to Houston. Please continue on to the Cara’s blog to see her day here.

bluebonnets | Austin Child and Pet Photographer

Callie — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 15:29:54 +0000

It’s almost always a struggle for me to capture my own kids. Occasionally I get the shot I’m dreaming about but not often. They know all my tricks and are honestly a little over it. Even my girl. So this weekend when I wanted to do some bluebonnets pictures I called my friends Nancy and Matt and asked her to come along with her dogs, her friend from out of town, and her friend’s cute daughter. Finely and my boy became fast friends and spent most of the weekend together. Thanks Nancy and Matt! :) My girl also adores Nancy’s dogs, especially CoCo. And who could ask for more photogenic dogs.

first swim | Austin Child Photographer

This weekend we went to Houston for a little spring break. My kids love visiting their grandparents and aunt and uncle who live outside of Houston in Fulshear. Aunt Ti and Uncle Joe have a pool and Saturday it was warm enough (with a little help from the heating of the pool) to go for a swim. My girl wasn’t too sure at first but quickly warmed up and had a blast. The boy always has fun swimming and he’s getting better and better at it. He’s taking lessons right now and it’s so encouraging to see him swim on his own.

These two are my loves. My heart swells when I think of them and know these moments are fleeting. I think about them constantly and hope I’m doing my best by them. I thought I’d share a few shots we took in Mississippi. There are more of my girl than my boy because the boy was too excited to go back and play with his cousins.

Halloween 2011 | personal | Austin Child Photographer

Callie — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 13:49:29 +0000

I always have such big plans to photograph my kids and we all know how the best laid plans go sometimes. This Halloween was no exception. I was so excited because my girl was dressing up this year and I was going to be able to take her to a few houses until my husband got sick. Yikes! I had to do Halloween all. by. myself with two kids! This is a testament to how amazing my husband is and a reminder that I don’t know how single parents do it. I got a few snaps of my kids before the festivities began but nothing like I had planned. Hopefully next year will be different.

sick day | 10 on 10 (or rather 10 on 15) | Austin Children’s Photographer

Callie — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 08:01:18 +0000

It’s been a rough two weeks for my family. The stomach bug has hit us and it has hit us hard. So on the 10th, I was less than ready to complete my 10 on 10 post. I hope you’ll forgive the delay. I shot for this post on the first day of our ordeal. My girl was sent home from her school. I didn’t really think she was that sick, so we spent most of the day playing. She was in great spirits so it surprised me later in the day when I realized she had the stomach bug. Poor girl. Only my husband was spared the sick.

gummy smiles | Austin baby photographer

Callie — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 17:26:29 +0000

This week I got the camera out before I fed my girl. She’s been giving me the best gummy smiles but it’s so hard to capture them on camera. I have to be quick. She already knows all my tricks and it proves difficult to get her attention. This day I caught some cute ones and was so happy to catch the top middle one. Her two bottom teeth are on their way in and I’m a little sad. I just love her toothless baby smile.

52 Fridays – Spring | Austin Child Photographer

If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. ~Nadine Stair

Spring is our theme for this week’s 52 Friday post and spring has arrived in Texas. It means longer days, flowers blooming, and my boy going barefoot. Spring is one of my favorite seasons. It’s welcomes beautiful weather with lots of outside time playing which is wonderful for an energetic four year old.
