Hi, hello.

Things around the Blasig household have been chaotic. As I type, it’s 12:08AM and I’ve just decided to call it quits for the day. Is my to-do list done for today (I mean, technically, yesterday)? Nope. Not even close.

Things around this time of year are just… busy.

The last few weekends I’ve been out of town for one of my best friends’ engagement parties and sessions. My poor dogs probably thing I disintegrate on the weekends because I’ve practically been non-existent at home on Saturdays and Sundays since August.  My awesome hubby understands it’s all part of the business and this is without a doubt busy season for him as well. We’re really looking forward to quality family time – not just with one another, but also with our parents and siblings.

There’s something about this time of year that makes me yearn for my favorite things…

…playing games late into the night with my family.

…watching movies at D’s parents house with everyone cuddled closely on the couch.

…curling up on the sofa for a few hours with a REALLY good book and a frighteningly hot cup of hot chocolate.

I absolute love the busyness. I thrive on it.  But at the same time, I am excited for the upcoming…pause.  The exhale after a long, hard workout.

This image below was taken while I was waiting on a couple to arrive to an engagement session recently. Despite the busyness, I’m trying to remember to shoot for myself, too. I love the calm that this image evokes. What do you think?

Austin Maternity Photographer | Adam, Aimee, and Lexi

I met the Johnson family several years ago at our previous church. Adam, Aimee, and I were in the same small group. When Dustyn and I moved back home to Texas after we lived in San Diego for a while, Aimee allowed me to photograph Miss Lexi as I was just beginning this very photography venture.

Fast forward two and a half years later.  Aimee and Adam will be welcoming a new sweet little girl into their family, Lainie.  It was so much fun to hang out with these guys – to see how grown up Lexi has become, how funny she is, how they love to laugh together, and how gorgeous Aimee is pregnant.  Miss Lainie is going to have three awesome people who love her so incredibly much.  They’re eagerly awaiting her arrival…

Austin Children’s Photographer | Kennedi

Oh, you guys! This was the third time I’ve photographed Miss Kennedi. Every time I see her, I’m blown away by how adorable she is and how much she’s changed.  This year was no exception. She’s soon to be a four-year-old.  She showed me how fast she can run, told me about her dance lessons, and climbed on top of a hay bale (where she wasn’t even scared)!

She’s brave and sweet and kind. She’s funny and observative.

And she’s still a little fashionista. I’m in love with her dresses – the first was her Christmas dress and the second is a custom-made dress for her birthday party. Aren’t you in love?

Sunlight Through Trees

My schedule has been pretty chaotic lately. It seems like there’s a perpetual to-do list and each day I pick right back up where the previous day left off. I always find that when I’m super busy I don’t take the time to revel in life. I hop, skip, jump, trudge, stumble, or creep along to the next activity. This year my life has changed a lot; I’ve given up things I’m just. not. good. at. doing.

Because of that, I’ve had a bit more time to stop. Pause. Look around. And to see the beauty.
