My little guy enjoying summer swimming in the buff! There is no other way when you are this little.:)

This summer was amazing.  The Lightly Photo and Tracy Autem team had some amazing weddings, fabulous new babies, cool seniors and great families this summer and we are looking forward to all this new school year and fall will bring.

Fall is a great time to update your family portraits for the holidays and we will be rolling out NEW specials this year starting in September so stay tuned over the upcoming weeks as we announce them.  There will be special incentives for booking and shooting early!  If you (or some one you know) is a 2011 graduate now is the time to start planning for senior photography.  This year we are vamping up our senior packages and will be releasing them soon!

No post is complete without photos so here are some of my favorite summer moments of my little boy, Alexander.  So  many firsts for him and Daddy stayed home with him every day so it was a good time for both of them.

Amy & Michael – 12 years of marriage! A steamy and fun Anniversary shoot in Fort Worth.

Engagement Anniversary Photos Tall Grass Fort Worth Tracy AutemLoved this the moment I took it. ahhhhhhh.

Amy and Michael have been married 12 years!  They have been together since high school and I must say I just love them!  I can bet they were just as loving and sweet back walking the halls in their teen age years but now they have years of experience and some beautiful children.  I think it is so important to take time out and remember that even when you are a Mom & Dad that you are still a couple, and in their case a super hot one!  Their engagement photos consisted of some overalls I was told and were in no way what Amy would pick today.  See, she is a tad picky about photos now because she is a local children and family photographer.  I understand her feelings and was glad I could help her document this time in her life with her husband.  Here are some favorites from their Fort Worth photography session.
