Austin Photographer; Lucy

A little peak at a day in the life of my sweet and ferocious dog, Lucy Sarsparilla.  I keep a blanket on the couch for her and even her dog bone, and what does she do?  She takes her naps perched on top of my throw pillows!  She's so cute though, I just let her do it.  All too frequently throughout the day she will growl at every single thing that moves outside the window behind her.  I think that's why she likes it, it's a comfy spot to nap AND supervise neighborhood watch.

Austin Photographer, Arachnophobia!

I've only lived in Austin for a few months and I love it here...except for one thing! TARANTULAS! This is the fifth tarantula we've seen in the past week!  I watched this arachnid creep and crawl through the grass, across the parking lot, and then scale the side of the building.
After a little googling we found that they probably won't bite, probably? but they come out at night and are good for humans because they eat bugs and could even eat mice.  But get this, they can live up to 30 years!  No wonder there are so many around here!   I won't be taking my little Lucy out in flip flops anymore, especially in the dark!  They could come from at me from any direction, the trees above or the grass below, yikes!  What if I step on one?  Now I'm paranoid.  I had trouble even editing the pictures in lightroom, seeing it larger than life on my screen was sure to give me nightmares!

Engagement Session & St. Louis Shot Party

Last week I went to the St. Louis Shot Party with guest speaker and wedding photographer/blogger extraordinaire, Jasmine Star.  It was a lot of fun, a mix of photo shoots, workshop, and seminar, all rolled in to one.  I learned a few tips about blogging, photographing newborns, and the business aspect of being a freelance photographer.  Here are some shots from the engagement session I shot on location at the Ameristar Casino in St. Charles.  Aren't they a beautiful couple?
