2012 was a year of change and growth. As with every New Year, there’s something reassuring about starting anew. I’m entering 2013 feeling optimistic, calm, and forward-thinking. I can’t wait to see what this year holds! Who knows what kind of recap post I will be writing one year from now!
As always, I am thankful for your readership, your business, and your friendship. Her Side Project would not be what it is today without you.
This year:
I made new friendships (both inside and outside the office), finally set the Her Side Project Facebook Page live, started wearing new specs more often, upgraded my camera equipment to the Canon 5D Mark III (big personal/professional achievement!), celebrated the marriage of five different wonderful couples!, started running and training for my first half marathon on behalf of an extremely important person, celebrated one year with that certain special someone, attended several live music shows (noteworthy: Florence & The Machine and Joe Pug), joined and became quite active with an amazing organization (AWC Austin), cheered on the Texas Longhorns (Hook ‘Em!), attended another fab year of SXSW, met the famed Boot Whisperer!, supported my best friend as she became a mother, traveled extensively… and so much more.
Wishing you a bright year full of new beginnings.
All my love,
Katie

Bask in the Glow

Happy, happy 5th birthday to one of the coolest kids around: Liam!
Liam and his parents threw an unforgettable glow bowl part-ay at the Union Underground. From bowling ball cupcakes, to glow stick necklaces, to mini bowling alley decorations on the table — Jennifer had every detail down to a T. The kids seemed to enjoy every minute – and so did the parents!
The room was evenly divided between bowlers and air hockey fanatics. A good time was had by all!
Again – happy birthday, Liam. Hope it was the best one yet and there are many more wonderful ones to come!
Now, go forth and be as pumped about today as this kid is about bowling:
Christmas: A Family Affair

What makes a successful family photo shoot?
- Perfect weather
- An overcast day, with occasional sunshine rays peeking through
- Happy family members
- A newborn baby girl
- A butterfly landing on someone’s shoulder (that’s good luck!)
- Christmas lights and decor
Oh how I love the holidays. It is such a bright time of year, and a chance for loved ones to come together from near and far. You may recognize members from this sweet family as I’ve photographed them before. However, you should also spot a new face in the crowd! This family was blessed with a precious baby girl last month. What a wonderful early Christmas present!
With two sets of parents, three cousins, holiday cheer decor and candy canes galore – I’d say we had a pretty successful session!
Wishing you a Merry little Christmas,
Katie

Trust me, come Halloween, you won’t want to mess with these guys.
I know, you’re intimidated. It’s okay.
Batman’s 2nd Birthday

Then:
Now:
Even though the first set of pictures was only taken one year ago, Winston looks so incredibly tiny!
Let me explain something to you guys. I’ve been consistently photographing this kid since he was 3 months old! From our first shoot at Hotel San Jose, to his first birthday party (unfortunately, not blogged) to today – his 2nd – it’s astounding to look back and see how much he’s grown.
But, one thing has stayed the same: a wonderful group of friends gather together every year to celebrate this special little boy. It amazes me to see how many people love him – and each other – and remain so close!
So – onto this year’s party!
What do you get when you put a cute 2 year old + cake + a petting zoo with “widdle baby goats” + silly string together? One awesome birthday party for one cool kid!
Winston was rocking Austin chic, with a Japanese batman shirt, formal grey trousers and long, tousled locks. He even sported some pretty rad tattoos (temporary of course) and showed them off at every opportunity.
I’ve been to a few parties with petting zoos now… but nothing could prepare me for the shock that the miniature pony brought into my life. There was nothing miniature about him! Even though it caught me off guard, the kids loved riding the pony and I got some great shots of their trips around the backyard.
I can only imagine how happy and proud Ginger and Jason are of their son. Even as a spectator, it warmed my heart to see him so excited in the middle of his party. He really seemed to appreciate and enjoy every aspect: from the “widdle baby goats” (his words!) to the cookie monster cupcakes… he had a blast.
Ginger + Jason: thanks again for including me in your annual tradition and once again inviting me to capture your wonderful memories and spirits! I look forward to future par-tays!
