Her Side Project

Meet my gorgeous cousin, Madison.

Just last week, Mad turned 18 years old. Wait, what? 18? As in — an adult? I can’t believe how fast time has flown.

We spent an evening in downtown Austin, TX, finding interesting backgrounds, scoping out alleyways and avoiding some of the interesting characters we met along the way. Side note: when I’m in the middle of a photo shoot, it’s fairly common to have people drive by and honk or approach us to ask a few questions. Two things happened during Madison’s session that have NEVER happened to me before.

• A group of men (and women!) on a nearby restaurant patio started snapping her picture with their camera phones (we quickly changed locations).
• Near some active tracks, a TRAIN blared its horn as it passed us by. Say what?

I’ve had the privilege of watching this beautiful girl develop into an intelligent, level-headed, mature individual. Great things are ahead for you, Madison. Never forget to believe in yourself, trust your instincts and keep positive people in your life. Do these things and I have no doubt you will continue to succeed and have a fun, HAPPY life!

I love you!

xoxo,
Katie
