Poth Rehearsal Dinner

Hey blogger family. It's Amy and it's my turn to tell you all about a little shoot I did...my first "solo" gig without April. Now most of the time I will tell you that April and I do EVERYTHING together but there are those few times that we do things on our own. Our friends Poppy and Wes, you all know them to be the oh so fabulous couple we did engagements for and were blogged about by greylikesweddings, were married a couple of weekends ago. April was a bridesmaid and so Poppy asked me to tag along and represent TWINty Photography at the dinner rehearsal. I'm so excited I got to be part of such a special day for them. There were so many cute pics I decided to just make one big collage. I love you guys....drumroll please!!!

YEEHAW, Austin Family Photography

I heart Texas for many reasons, but one being that everywhere you go it's a very good chance you'll know someone or someone that knows somebody else...haha. So I'd like to think we are all family in a way! This past weekend I met up with my cousin Jill and her soon to be family. Jill and Patrick are getting married in a couple of weekends and we decided to get some fun family photos in Gruene. I can't believe I've never been out there to photograph bc man oh man, it's my new fav place....the rustic backdrops, cool country props and everything in walking distance= Awesomeness!

Here are some of my favs from the session. The boys were so much fun....I love it when guys don't act too cool for photos...these guys looked ruggedly handsome and of course Miss Jill was the perfect cowgirl to have in the mix!

My Christmas Models, Austin Family Photographer

This past weekend I met up with the Landeros family in Kyle, TX to help me shoot some mock up photos for my Holiday cards...which you'll be seeing some very shortly! I had a blast with this crew...they all are so photogenic! McKenzie is my new favorite...watch out for this girl, she's gonna make it big somewhere someday. Sunny, the ever-so-fabulous momma, is the owner of www.alpinefloristweddings.com . Check her out!!! Thanks for your help guys and hope you like.

Be sure to stay tuned for my Holiday packages and cards for 2009!

These two boys are characters...I swear they are so well behaved and willing to do whatever I asked :) Just my kind of guy.

Can you believe she's only 12? Those big eyes are going to make boys drool.

A Day with Dad, Austin Family Photographer

This weekend while I was in Houston I had the pleasure of meeting up with Dany and his kiddos. They are uber stylish and they absolutely adore each other. I feel like they all stepped out of GQ magazine or something. Thank you guys for braving the heat!

Miss Danielle- perfect little hippie poster child

Mr Nick- If you could grab his attention from all the ducks and birds, he is one handsome fella!

You gotta make time for the grown ups :). Thanks Nicole for setting the session up and coordinating everyone's outtfits.

Twin Day in Katy, TX, Austin Family Photographer

This Saturday we had a flashback to when we were 2 years old :) and their names are Abby and Lauren! These fraternal twins have such different personalities and attitudes. The one thing they have in common is they are both ADORABLY CUTE! Their momma had the cutest outfits for them I'm going to have to start using these as ideas for others when people request what to wear. We had so much fun with the family and were so happy to see ya'll again.

The girls love their kisses!
This reminds me SOOOOO much of Amy and I when we use to play dress up. Their personalities suit ours to a "T"...love you girlies!

Cathedral of Junk session, Austin Family Photographer

I'm a little late for this post but back in April or so after living in Austin a couple of months I met one of my old highschool buds at Torchy's....awesome taco place, and she then starting spouting off all these uber cool places I have to see in Austin that only the locals know about ya know? Well to our amazement I told her what Amy and I wanted to do for our first music video and she gave me the PERFECT location called the Cathedral of Junk. This man has been building on it for like 20 years or something and it's in his backyard....so stinking unique! GO check it out and leave a tip!

So, when an Austin client of mine called to do some family pics last month I knew just where to go. They were so cute and can't wait to take pics with the new addition to the family as well!

I just love all the colors and reflective pieces in this place!

Frio Outlaws, Austin Lifestyle Photographer

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!

Father's Day Sessions, Austin Child Photographer

So, I took a little vaca this weekend to the Guadelupe to float the river and had a grand ol' time. It's nice to just shut down the laptop and step away from technology every once in a while. We smored it up, floated the river and soaked up the sun! Perfect weekend with some old Midland buddies.

DAYS (Click on images below to view larger)and NIGHTS (we taught the boys how to get the "skinny arm" look for pics)

However, I'm slacking on my blogging :) so here are a couple of sessions from my Father's Day sessions in Midland a couple of weekends ago. Both families I always LOVE seeing bc the Dortch triplets are close to heart with me being a twin myself, and the Thompson girls are just too much like thier mommy and daddy....such a beautiful family.


Miss Peyton in all smiles! Gotcha cutie!
Daddy's got a house full of beautiful ladies!

They were so cute with each other I had to show the hand holding.

Meet Deacon, Bailee and Aidan. How precious are they?
We met out at the Midland Counry Club and little to my suprise they all had clubs....too precious I tell you.



What a perfect way to end the session with a daddy sandwich...full of kisses!
