One of the things about building a business, is the list of things that you need to get done seems to never get any shorter. And although I have some head shots (BORING) for my press kit and my website, I've needed to get some new shots of myself taken. Something a little sassy and fun that shows off my personality a bit.
Now, I should tell you that I HATE having my picture taken. I mean really detest to the core of my being having my picture taken. And it generally shows in my photos (when I can be coerced into having any taken...) I usually look slightly pained and annoyed. Which of course makes it hard to get a good photo of me. (My mom will be nodding her head vigorously when she reads this because she is always
nagging asking me for a new picture...Sorry mom, couldn't resist...)

Lisa Woods of Now and Then Photography. Photographer extraordinaire/miracle worker. I did a shoot with Lisa earlier this week here in Austin. We met up at 7am to beat the Austin heat and headed out for our morning shoot. I was excited but apprehensive... And the shoot was so incredibly fun! I mean really fun! Lisa put me at ease right away and we just had a great time going from location to location and chit chatting. Smile, snap, smile, snap, smile, snap. Laugh, snap. Before I knew it, the shoot was over. And it didn't hurt one tiny bit :)
Lisa sent me over a few of the shots, and I wanted to show them off! This woman is just simply brilliant with a camera. The angles, the light, and the color saturation is just outstanding. So if you are anywhere close to Austin and need photos, make sure you give Lisa a call. Check out
Lisa's blog for examples of the beautiful baby, wedding and portrait work she's done.






I was positive that I was too heavy to sit on that suitcase and I was convinced I was going to break it... :)
And mom, when I get the rest of the pictures back from
Ms. Lisa Woods, photographer extraordinaire, I promise I'll get you a few new pictures :)
