Alexis was smart…she made Clarisa go first on each set up so that she could watch and and know exactly what to do. We had a great time! And look at that hair, I mean wow. The girls joked it looked like we were shooting a Pantene ad with all that gorgeous hair! With the Austin August heat…she was a total trooper. But don’t let any little bugs fly around- that girl will bolt faster than anything I have ever seen

*WARNING- prepare for a large share!* I had a great time with these two Round Rock Seniors (watch for another blog post for Alexis). They have know each other since they were two years old and you can totally tell how close these two are when you spending time with them. Lots of fun and laughter. When one tripped and fell the other one rushed to help laughed! We did Studio and Urban shoots which gave them classic beautiful shots as well as fun edgy images. Clarisa rocked it for sure. Thanks for sicking it out in the heat!

Ok REALLY? She is nine months pregnant and looks THIS fabulous. Not only is she stunning, she is super sweet…I know… not fair LOL! We had so much fun chatting and taking pictures. Decided to go a little more high fashion with some of the images and they came out great! She really is a natural in front of the camera and I mean, honestly, how could she ever take a bad picture?!?! Thanks Jessica for a fun session!

Very excited to meet this new little girl in September! Look for her and her brothers soon.

Is summer really over??? What the heck happened? Oh, poor neglected blog…I need to visit more often and update. So while the temps are still crazy hot, Summer is ending. The kiddos start school next week so I can edit and update more, right?

Wanted to share some precious newborns from this summer. I have the best job- I get to play with precious angels and when they are wet or hungry I hand them back to mommy! Doesn’t get much better than that, right! All the cuteness, none of the mess!

We do have a Watch Me Plan to capture that all to fast first year of your baby’s life. Ask me for details! If you are a fan on Facebook, you may have seen some of these. Don’t forget to “like” me on Faceook – will be having a Facebook exclusive offer soon! I have some new props and backgrounds that I can’t wait to use on the newborns I am waiting to meet and make their big arrivals.

A few of my favorite things…

Also, don’t forget about the FREE minisession RSVPtoday- hope to see you there!

Matilda Jane Fall 2010 Trunk Show at Mariel Reyes Photography- Aug 14th

admin — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 13:02:53 +0000

I am so excited to see the new Field Trip line in person and offer the show to all my clients. Be among the first to see the new line in person! If you are not familiar with Matilda Jane Clothing, the clothes are super cute and colorful, with a vintage flair. They are fun and unique- think Anthropologie for girls. These clothes are always on my “What to Wear” for pictures list. Every little girl feels like a princess plus they are comfortable and offer lots of textures and patterns so you can mix and match with things you already may have for your girl. Little girlies don’t get all the fun- they make cool stuff for women, too!

And because I adore how these clothes photograph, I’m going to be offering FREE mini-sessions to those that spend at least $100 on Matilda Jane clothing at the show. Once the orders arrive, I will determine the specific date & location for the mini-sessions. Each mini-session will last 15-20 minutes and will feature your little one showing off their new Matilda Jane! Please note that the mini-sessions will be for your outfitted little ones only. Family sessions need to be booked separately.

The new line debuts on August 6th so keep checking the Matilda Jane blog & website for some sneak peeks. They have some up, but my fav dresses aren’t out there yet! They are TDF! Some items sell out and once they are gone, they are GONE. I am still trying to track down a dress and leggings from this summer, but we won’t go there…

So grab a friend and come see the new line! Your little ones are welcome, too in case you would like them to try on outfits.

If you can’t be here in person ask about placing a virtual order!

If you would like to attend the show on August 14th, email me at mariel@marielreyes.com or use the contact form at the bottom of the page. Look forward to seeing you!

Seriously, I have have the best job in the world! Well, Rockstar would be pretty cool…ok, back to my point! I am so lucky I get to meet such wonderful couples and their families. I get to witness the love and spirit they share as they start their new lives together. I feel truly blessed to have met this family. Jon and Lacy are meant to be. period. They are so in love and one thing I noticed over and over in the pictures and from all the stories the family and friends shared – they love to laugh together! Just watching them together makes me smile. Thank you for letting me be there to capture your special day!

***Warning, lots of pictures ahead!***

Owen was under a week old when he came to visit the studio last week. So tiny and sweet! He was truly a ROCKSTAR sleeper. He snoozed away and let me snap pictures, I could have played with him all afternoon! Hopefully he will cooperate and stay a good sleeper for say the next year, right???? I had some new stuff to try out and he was just the perfect model! I am always on the lookout for fun new baby props and when I saw this I knew it would be perfect! Thank you Owen for making my job fun and easy

Lacy and Jon- Engaged | Austin Wedding Photographer

admin — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 07:31:09 +0000

I had so much fun with Lacy and Jon, despite the fact they went to A&M and Tech! These two met and church camp in high school and kept in touch and eventually started dating in college. They are just perfect together and I love that don’t take themselves too seriously. Lacy said Jon with twirl her wherever- like the grocery store. (AWWEE) They goofed around and didn’t even question when I asked them to do some pretty silly stuff. And the TRAIN…Oh, Lacy So my age showed when I asked them about the movie “Stand by Me”. “River Phoenix was in it…” more blank stares. Well that movie is why I get nervous near train tracks. I am adding the goofyness last. We had to have the classic ” ring hand on chest shot”- LOL!

Thanks for trusting me Jon and Lacy- even if you weren’t sure what I was doing. What a fabulous couple you are- I am even more excited about your wedding day!

These girls were so much fun! I was so excited when their mom called for a session. I had never met them, but always heard stories about them from their mom, so knew we would have a great time. They were perfect models! They brought fun outfits and even had some poses ready for me. Both girls were super sweet and I can’t wait to “work” with them again!

Girls, here is your sneak peek! Your gallery will be up late tonight, but you better be in bed

I had to post one with mom- I love this! Gorgeous girls!
