A little about me ...

I live in Austin. My favorite foods are pizza, pasta and cereal, which makes my diet the opposite of Atkins. My favorite singer is Kimya Dawson. My favorite movie is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I absolutely love my husband and don't find him nearly as annoying as he thinks I do. I really really really love my job. I have the two most adorably sweet and beautiful children in the entire world. I'm a terrible housekeeper. I've always wanted to own a VW bus and would rather drive around in a hippie van than a sports car. My fifteen year old sister is my very best friend. I got married on Halloween in a polka dotted dress! I'm a Mac (never a PC!) I will only eat Blue Bell ice cream. I have a pink and black bike with flames on it! I use a lot of exclamation points when I email people (and smileys!) I love wearing pajamas and only change into real clothes when I absolutely have to. I love old school hip hop and punk rock bands with girl singers. I am a super picky eater. I can't stand being around negative people. I've always wanted to go skydiving. I'm happy ... truly happy :)

The Nichols Family (Plus One!)

What’s more exciting than being pregnant? Being pregnant at the same time as your BFF! Yep, that’s right. Both me and my super adorable friend Jenn Nichols are expecting baby girls this year! Yay yay yay! Jenn is due next month and I’m due in July, so expect to see lots of baby photos on the blog soon :)

In the meantime … belly photos! And when it comes to bellies, it doesn’t get much cuter than this …

March 6, 2010 - 12:30 am David Reed - Your work just rocks in every way Sarah. Big Huge Fan..

March 2, 2010 - 9:14 am Jennifer Nichols - Thanks Sarah and Lindsey:) I actually found that dress at the last minute in the juniors department at Macy's. And the best part was it was only $25! Luckily, empire waists are really popular right now. I've definitely had more luck with non-maternity clothing this pregnancy. Thanks again!

March 1, 2010 - 11:56 pm SaraSilver - Oh My Goodness. I LOVE her dress. Please oh please tell me where she got it! I am pregnant and sooooo wish I lived in your area so I could have my own fun maternity session. Love your style!

Dear Roxy,

You are beautiful. And smart. And sweet. And sooooo determined. You, my baby girl, really will be a rock star one day, just like you tell me. I have no doubt about it. There’s absolutely nothing you can’t do and I’m so looking forward to watching you grow up. Happy birthday, five year old Roxy!

XOXOXO, Mama

Okay, back to regular photos for a minute. I didn’t take very many! It’s hard to host a party, chase kids and take pictures! Anyway, check out Roxy’s “boyfriend” Dan, popping out of nowhere to blow out her candles! SO CUTE! And look at those AMAAAAAAZING cupcakes my friend Nichole brought from her awesome cupcake shop, Cupcake Couture! Thanks Nichole!!!

Roxy's 5th Birthday Party!

Okay, these aren’t from the party, but I had to include them. I set up the booth the Friday night before Roxy’s party to see how it was going to fit in the living room. To test out the lighting and stuff, I asked Rox and Kai to come over and take some pictures for me. It was late and they were being SUPER silly. Kai was being particularly HILARIOUS and was doing the most adorable mad faces. I love these! (Oh, and you’ll notice there were a lot more streamers and stuff on Friday night. Yeah. The cats decided to attack the booth that night while we were sleeping and when we came down the next morning it was all in a big pile on the floor. Soooo, instead of detangling the mess of fabric, I decided to simplify it! Ha! Oh, well. I love the way it ended up looking!)

Trick or Treat :)

Roxy and Kai have a big pink box in their room. It’s the “Costume Box” and is so jam packed full of costumes and dress up stuff that it won’t close anymore. There’s at least 3 or 4 princess costumes, a firefighter, policeman, doctor, a girl pirate and a boy pirate, cowboy, Superman, SuperGirl, Batman, Batgirl and a Wonder Woman costume. I’m pretty sure there’s a monkey costume in there somewhere, too and a couple of really ridiculous pink and purple wigs, hats, sunglasses, feather boas, plastic high heels and big chunky jewelry. Let’s just say they had PLENTY of options for Halloween this year. So what did they want to be? A black cat and a mummy. Great. Probably the ONLY two things not already in the box. And, of course, they decided to be a black cat and mummy AFTER all the stores had sold 99% of their costumes.

So, we DIY’d it :)

I made Roxy’s cat ears out of a headband and blue duct tape (classy, huh?!) and Henry drew her whiskers and nose on with a ball point pen. She has a tail (and it’s actually really cute) but of course you can’t see it in the picture. The black and blue tutu was made by my sister Jessie, even though I told Roxy black cats don’t usually have big poofy blue bellies. She said “Well then, I’m not a black cat. I’m a black and blue cat.” :) As thrown-together as it was, she actually pulled it off and looked pretty darn cute. And she had a great time. And, of course, that’s all that matters, anyway :)

Kai’s costume is made out of about $20 worth of gauze wrap and a $3 piece of Halloween decor ripped up fabric (the kind you’re supposed to hang outside!) We pretty much just wrapped and wrapped and wrapped until he was the WORLD’S MOST ADORABLE MUMMY EVER! Seriously, he could not have looked cuter. And he did the best little “Mummy Face.” Ahhhh, I love my boy. He had a great time, too.

So, here they are, my goofy little trick or treaters. Oh, how I love my Rox and Kai :)

Hope everybody had a great Halloween! I’m going to try and catch up on my wedding blogging this week, so check back soon! :)

October 30, 2009 - 7:34 pm Sherry - Omg, I LOVE her. I found her on Youtube. Pomplamoose has the BEST rendition of "Favourite Things" (From Sound of Music)... <3 <3 <3 .

October 11, 2009 - 9:57 am courtney - Wow, she's amazing!!! She reminds me of a little bit less quirky (though still quirky) version of Regina Spektor, whom I also looooove. But I bet you do too. :) Thanks for sharing these videos. I've been checking her out for the last half hour now. haha.

October 11, 2009 - 9:06 am Annie - LOVE her voice!!! I came across that last week and was thinking the same thing! She's fabulous!

Roxy the Rock Star

If you ask Roxy what she’s going to be when she grows up, you’ll either hear “Artist” or “Rock Star.” I’m down for either of those, but I’m particularly fond of the second one. With her confident, strong personality and awesome sense of style, how could she NOT become a rock star?!

(Brand new guitar from Daisy Rock! Check ‘em out if you have a little girl. They have some AWESOME stuff for tiny rock stars!)

September 21, 2009 - 7:02 pm Natalie - I love this pictures! Too cute! I'm curious though, what does the bottom set of pictures say...? I get that the top says ROXY but the bottom?

September 21, 2009 - 7:22 am Shaun Fellows - Great images and first class composition, i'll be passing your details so you can photograph my baby niece & nephew who live in Austin. Nice job!

September 19, 2009 - 10:43 am Alej Keigan - Very cool pics...She reminds me of a mini-Becca on the show Californication (great show, btw).

Roxy Rae + Maggie Mae

Roxy is my rambunctious, talkative, artistic and hilarious, bossy but sweet four year old. Maggie is my BFF Jenn’s silly, happy, adorable (almost) five year old. They’ve been best friends since they were little bitty and I’ve been wanting to do an “official” photo shoot of them for a while now. Today Maggs came over to play so I snatched ‘em up and snuck ‘em outside to do a few pictures of just the two of them. Kai was a little bummed that he couldn’t come (especially since he tells me all the time that he’s going to marry Maggie) but I really wanted some of just the girls. We didn’t have much time before sunset, but I LOVE what we did get! Here are a few of my faves …

(I know it’s an annoying mom thing to say, but I just can NOT believe how grown up they look in this picture!) :(

September 24, 2009 - 6:46 pm Gail - WOW - I think this might be my favorite session you've ever done with your daughter! How CUTE is she? And her little friend? I don't know but for some reason, she's like a baby version of Emma Watson. ADORABLE!

September 24, 2009 - 8:30 am faith - hands down absolute best kid photos i have ever seen. you have an amazing style and i love absolutely everything you post!

September 21, 2009 - 6:45 pm Lisa - All I can say is, I wish I had just a quarter of the coolness these two have when I was little! In fact, I think these two a probably way cooler than I am now!! These shots are totally and utterly fabulous!

September 21, 2009 - 4:42 pm kay spedoske - love this set, so much fun and sass

September 18, 2009 - 8:38 am Amanda Donaho - Gorgeous girls & gorgeous shots! Love them all!

September 17, 2009 - 8:50 pm michelle sidles - Those eyelashes should be illegal!!! WOW!! Great pics!

September 17, 2009 - 3:17 pm Jessie - Ohhh these are oh so cute. They are so cute together :) Ha the pictures of them look like the poses I do! And nahhh Roxy doesn't have an attitude at all.

September 17, 2009 - 7:38 am bobbi - Three things. 1) I canNOT believe how grown up Roxy looks! (and I'm not her mom... so, WOW to that!) 2) She's flipping beautiful! I mean... one of the most beautiful little girls in the history of little girls. and 3) HELLOOOOOOO MINI SARAH! She's SO you.... and I LOVE THAT!!!!! Okay, that's all... LOVE AND MISS!!!!!

September 17, 2009 - 7:29 am April - Oh man, those girls in those glasses is too cute for words! They'll love those to look back on when they're older. Great shots!

September 17, 2009 - 5:07 am Stacy - They are sooooo cute! I'm noticing a trend, though - apparently showing teeth is "out" right now! :)

September 17, 2009 - 3:05 am Alexandra - Wow these two girls look like so much fun :) They are definitely full of some attitude which I think makes for great photos :) I LOVE the one of Roxy with the sun coming in from behind, that's definitely one to be framed, you're right. Great job with these photos, they are beautiful :). When Roxy grows up she will be so thankful her mom took these :). Great job!

September 17, 2009 - 3:03 am Bernadette - These are absolutely amazing. What great girls! Well done! :)
