The Rankin Twins, Austin Musicians

For those of you that don't me...or my evil twin :) well here's a chance to see what we look like. I like to randomly post personal blogs so maybe you can see what you'd be working with...haha, and I think these pics are going to sum it all up! I can honestly say we are the happiest little twins today. Yesterday Amy and I opened up our email to find an email from the wonderful Lisa Woods with Now and Then Photography that says: YOU'VE BEEN BLOGGED....EEeeeeeeeek we both shrilled!

See, Sunday evening we had a photoshoot with her for our upcoming album that will hopefully be debuting sometime within the next couple of months that will be called "Headaches and Heartbreaks". So we needed some photos for the album and for the web and what not. It's very different being in front of the lens now since I'm soooo used to sticking behind it but we had very detailed visions and Lisa exectuted ever so nicely! Check em out! More on Lisa's Blog.

Patty & Chris Hamilton, Austin Wedding Photographer

I've been wanting to blog this wedding ALL week but I have been one little busy bee and time just slipped away and now it's Thursday night at practically midnight and I just got home from our gig at the Tiniest bar (which was awesome...thanks to those who came out) and thought...now is the perfect time! So Miss Patty here are some teasers for you my dear....I can't wait for us to sort through the rest for the BOOK...Ahhhhh happiness!

Patty and Chris got married this past Saturday at the University Christian Church on campus. Even with my aggie blood that runs through these veins, I loved UT campus. It was gorgeous and just being there made me want to be back in school again....(sigh).

Go sister for capturing some of these photos below like the window shot and Patty's awesome expression...she's gonna be going solo before you know it.

Loved the bookshelves touch!

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!

Miss Meredith, Austin Family Photographer

I love my life! This past weekend was perfect...we had a gig at a cute little place on South Congress called Botecellis, then did some photo sessions and saw my momma!!! A girl couldn't ask for more :)

I met the Wolfe family downtown at the Four Seasons for an afternoon session and despite the heat they were full of energy. You gotta be on your toes when you're dealing with 2 year olds :). It's funny bc sometimes I think my clients worry about getting good shots or not since you're technically just following the little ones around since, I mean, at that age who wants to sit still? But low and behold the photos turn out and everyone's happy...I love it! Hope you guys like~

My FAV of the day...look at those gorgeous curious eyes.

Austin Statesman, Austin Family, Lifestlye and Wedding Photographer

Hey hey!

So I've decided to bite the bullet and start advertising a little in town. I've always gotten 98% of my business through word of mouth and referals but it's time for a change and to make this town aware of the NEW GUY! :) Yep, that's us! Twinty Photography.

I've been very excited becuase I have my first Austin Wedding this coming weekend for an old classmate of mine on campus so I'm finally sowing some Austin roots...or maybe just planting some seeds....whatev!

Anywho, check out the new Ad going into the Austin Statesman Sept 4th (PLUG)! Please go and check it out. Everyone buy a paper and look in the GLOSSY section under Life. The ad will be in full color and featuring some of you! Yea~

Thanks to everyone for the ongoing business and keep spreading the word!!!! New pics to come shortly from this past weekend.
