I have finally reached the last of the mini sessions and Anita's family was such a sweet note to finish on. Her three children were so much fun to hang out with and I can only hope that I was able to portray their beauty (inside and out) accurately.

Holiday Mini Sessions: Livemom
Catherine and her wonderful family came out to Mills Pond for one of my mini sessions. Catherine founded livemom, a website that is a wonderful resource and community for all you Austin mothers out there. If you have never been there, head on over now. You won't regret it.

Holiday Mini Sessions: The Swingers
My friend Ali referred Tina and her beautiful family to me and they took part in the holiday mini sessions. They were such fun, not at all painful to look at, and game for anything. Plus they brought their amazing dog Lulu. In a word (okay two) 'perfect clients'. Bonnie Berry is an Austin based child, family and wedding photographer.
Holiday Mini Sessions: The Gleinsers
I love these people. Love, love, love them. They are such good friends to our whole family and we are so lucky to have them in our lives. Bonnie Berry is an Austin based child, family and wedding photographer.
Holiday Mini Sessions: The Geddie Girls
I loved these women. The sisters are what are commonly called Irish twins and the love between them and their mom Stacey is fully evident. And Fiona's fabulous nails almost made me want to be a teenager again. I said ALMOST. And for some reason I LOVE the last shot, which is not technically great, but I love the feeling of it.

Holiday Mini Sessions: The Baby
This little angel was such a good sport. It was so cold and so windy and not one complaint from her sweet little lips. Isn't she just the cutest? I wanted to squeeze her and take her home. But then I remembered I already have two at home and the house is full up. But take her photograph? Any day of the week. Bonnie Berry is an Austin based child, family and wedding photographer.
Holiday Mini Sessions: The Simons
I love this family so much. Geni and Kell and their kids were some of the first people we befriended in Austin. Geni brought us a meal right after Sam was born with an Austin Mamas red tent and we have been good friends ever since. It is hard for me to depend on people, but I depend so much on the Simons and they always come through. They are such good people.

Holiday Mini Sessions: Little James
James also goes to my sons' school and he is a little doll. He was our last session on the first Saturday and mom Katherine had already told me that he is a tad on the shy side, so I said we would take a little more time with him. And it paid off. He is such a great kid. And he must have gotten really used to my camera being in his face because about a week ago I was at the preschool and I put my point and shoot right up to him and he just looked right into the lens. Atta boy James. Bonnie Berry is an Austin based child, family and wedding photographer.
Holiday Mini Sessions: The Girlfriend
No matter how old Ben gets he will always have one first girlfriend and that will always be little Olivia. What a doll she is and her brother Sebastian is quite the charmer too. I love how he takes care of his little sister and how much they seem to genuinely enjoy each other. Bonnie Berry is an Austin based child, family and wedding photographer.
Holiday Mini Sessions: Flynn's Family
I love all of my clients. But I have to admit that I have a soft spot for those whose kids are classmates of Ben and Sam. Flynn has been in Ben's classroom since the beginning and his smile makes my day. I will walk into school in the morning, frazzled as always, and he will flash me his grin and all my cares melt away. He and his family are all gems and as you can see here, Flynn is not the only one with the million dollar smile. Bonnie Berry is an Austin based child, family and wedding photographer.
Holiday Mini Sessions: Brad, Sharon and Corbin
I love these guys. They are just so darn easy to be around and they make me laugh. Two things to love. Bonnie Berry is an Austin based child, family and wedding photographer.
Holiday Mini Sessions: Jason, Amy, Lilia and Moose
I am finally starting to blog the first of the mini sessions. I had such a great time doing these. Here is Lilia and her beautiful family. They are always such a pleasure to photograph. Bonnie Berry is an Austin based child, family and wedding photographer.
Holiday Mini Sessions: Laguna Gloria
Last Saturday I did day one of the holiday mini sessions at Laguna Gloria. It was a beautiful day, beautiful weather, beautiful people. I had such a great time. Here is just a tiny sampling of some of my favorite photos from the day. Also, a HUGE thanks to my dear friends Tanya and Anjalika for all of their amazing help.
