Mr. Gus!, Austin Senior Photographer

SO I'm a little behind on some posts but I've got some cool exciting news to share... I am a MENTOR...Woohoo! My new little "Mentee" Fresh intern has arrived and is uber smart and fantastic! Miss Carsen is a Junior at Westlake High and has decided to use me as a mentor for one of her independent studies this session...I'm so flattered! So if we have a shoot over the next couple of months you'll probably see this cute eccentric Austinite following us around helping out so please make her feel welcome! Thanks girl!

On another note, I met Gus a couple of weekends ago at the Frio River during our show with Gary P. Nunn and Nate Kipp. My newfound best bud was eager to help out once I filled him in on a possible shoot that following week-which I so happened to need a model :) He's got the camera in the palm of his hands :) Thanks Gus, can't wait to show you the rest.

It's official...we are 27 YEARS young! We celebrated in style by kicking off Thursday night with a show at the Tiniest bar in Texas on 5th street in downtown Austin. People came from miles around to watch the one and only "Rankin Twins" perform....haha, well it's technically true since our friends ad family all traveled to see us. My cousins made the cutest shirts that said "Rankin Twins Cuz"....they rock!

Then Friday we headed down to our favorite place in the whole world....Concan Tx. Our hopes of floating soon vanished when we saw the water level...ick! BUT, we did what we do best and that is make use of what we had...horshoe tournament, laid out, cupcake eating contest and had some beverages! Overall it was a FANTASTIC birthday weekend with family and besties! There were a total of 7 of us with July birthdays. Momma bought us the cupcakes...love her! Happy Birthday to Us!
