Right now, I’m in the calm between the storms.

March was mucho crazy for me. A good kind of crazy, dont get me wrong, but crazy none the less. This past week, photographically speaking, has been pretty calm, but it picks back up in, oh, 11 hours. Before May, I’ve got a memoryBOOTH event, two portrait sessions, and two engagement sessions! I’m SO pumped. Also, my open weekends for summer weddings are slowly filling up. I dont know how many I have open left, but not many! It’s definitely a good place to be.

If I’ve learned anything this year so far, it’s this. Life is busy. Enjoy the calm. Enjoy the storms more.

I took these “Blackberry Polaroids” Wednesday afternoon. Yes…WEDNESDAY! Remember, Arkadelphia, all the rain we got on Friday? The ankle deep water we trudged through to get to class, just to sit in the classrooms soaking wet? Well, a mere 35 miles north (and beyond), that was snow. Snow that was so intense, it was STILL around on Wednesday! That’s CRAZY! So I just wanted to show you some quick phone shots of what exactly it was that we missed out. Granted, it’s had days to melt, but its still a lot. Which just shows you how much there was in the first place.

I love snow. But I live in Arkadelphia.

In other news, this weekend, assuming WinterChill happens (I prewrite a lot of my blog posts), there’s some pretty cool photo stuff up my sleeve to surprise the high school students with. It’s going to be a blast. Be praying that God first clears the way for us to get there safely, but just as, and maybe more importantly, pray that God does amazing things in the lives of these High Schoolers! It’s going to be a blast, I cant wait to show you some stuff from it!

Grace and Peace and I want snow next week,
Austin

2009 has but hours left. I look forward to ringing in the new year, and looking back on this one. As I look back and see everything God has allowed me to be a part of this year, it’s been amazing. God has been gracious and generous in everything. I’ve been very blessed to be allowed to do the two things I want to do with the rest of my life: photography and speaking to students, from junior high to college.

To have the nostalgiac look back, here is a handful of my favorite images from 2009. Not in any order, not ranked, not an exclusive list, and not necessarily the top of said list, but here it is: some of my favorite images from 2009 (starting with a “memory box” of 2009).


2009 in a box

Charlotte
Charlotte and Blake were good friends of mine in high school. It was a lot of fun to be a part of capturing these images for them to have forever.

me
I didnt take this one, but used it in an illustration. Thats me. On my first day of kindergarten.

christmas tree
Christmas Tree at the Walker House. We always decorate it with the ornaments as a family. Mom did the rest of the master work.

ashley glover
Ashley is the little sister of one of my friends, Kristen. Word on the street is, Ashley outscored me on the ACT by a point, and is OBU bound. Congratulations Ashley!

Leighton
What a fun shoot, taking pictures of Leighton and her big brother, Gunner.

christian
Christian is one of my clients from Van Buren, and hopefully will be a friend at OBU. He’s a wrestler and has an amazing heart for the Lord. My first senior in Van Buren, and my rep there!

ramsi richey
That’s right Rambo. You made the post! Ramsi is kind of my screener for creative things. If I ever dont know if it looks good to someone besides me, Ramsi’s always willing to give me her honest opinion.

OGN
OGN in San Diego with FSM. On our free day, we just went to Coronado and enjoyed God’s creation. The water was frigid, which was why I was on the sand, not in the water. Ha, a student saw this as I chimped the screen, and told me it was terrible. In my opinion, its one of my favorites!

Hayden
Hayden was my first senior of the year. He was the one that said, “I thought I’d get some weird old lady or a creepy old guy. You’re pretty cool.” Thanks Hayden…

the toss
What a FUN wedding!! It was awesome to get to go with Stephen and Caitlin from engagement pics all the way through the I Do’s! GREAT couple and fun shoots.

water
When my friend, Drew Cason, said, “hey…you want to come shoot a bride in a river?” How could I say no?!

grass
On a road trip with the fam, they let me bring my camera. I wandered off into a field about a half mile down from the gas station we were at!

Like I said in the teaser, much love to Drew Cason of Drew Cason Photography for the opportunity. he called and asked if i wanted to join him in a shoot. he was incredible. definitely has a talent for posing subjects, i just got to tag along. i can’t wait to see what he gets for the ceremony itself. again Drew, you’re the man! he’s going to shoot a wedding next weekend with me, which i’m also excited about (stephen and caitlin’s).

so…down by the river…..
