A little about me ...

I live in Austin, Texas! My favorite foods are pizza, pasta and cereal, which makes my diet the opposite of Atkins. 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 three 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 sixteen year old sister is my very best friend. I got married on Halloween in a polka dotted dress! I'm a Mac :) 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, but I'm way too wimpy to actually do it. I'm happy ... truly happy :)

Anne + Marty { Engaged! }

Happy, fun, hilarious, silly … these two are my absolute FAVORITE kind of clients! How adorable are these?! Anne and Marty, I can’t WAIT for your wedding!

Olly + Leslie + Ford

Say hello to Olly, Leslie and baby Ford! I may have just met him, but I’m pretty much in love with Ford. Chubby little cheeks and non-stop smiles? Perfection! Plus he’s a New Yorker with a rock star daddy … Olly is drummer for the (super awesome) band Gomez! I have the coolest clients!

A few of my faves …

January 2, 2012 - 11:28 am Ian Han - fabulous, these guys look so happy. I love your work, fantastic stuff. I thought the happy chap in the pics looked familiar... I've got a few Gomez CDs :)

December 19, 2011 - 1:57 am Andreas Feusi - Wow, absolute cute this family.

December 14, 2011 - 9:10 pm Gail at Large - OMG, I am in love with this baby, too! His cheeks are from another planet! And I got confused when you said New Yorker since I remember Gomez being and English band...? Had to look it up in Wikipedia to find their history as it's not on their website. I love your photos, Sarah, I've been admiring for a long time but I think this is my first comment. There is a such a consistent warmth to the images no matter who the people are, and it draws me in every time. Keep up the good work!

December 14, 2011 - 1:06 pm brianna saban - oh my heck, please can i play with this baby for a few hours??? he makes me SMILE just looking at him. what a fun family. SUPER AMAZING PHOTOS, as usual, sarah q! XOXOXOXO

December 14, 2011 - 10:32 am Stephanie - How cute is this family?! Love these. Great job!

December 14, 2011 - 9:01 am Leigh-Ellen - Aren't those just the most adorable baby cheeks! Great photos.

December 14, 2011 - 4:51 am Kirsten Mavric - What a cute set of pictures!!! (My partner Leon remembers Gomez when they were based in Sheffield :))

Wedding Photography by Sarah Q { Photography for Happy People } | Austin, Texas
Coordinated by the FABULOUS Brooke Rogers, from Ruby Rogers Studios!

And big thanks to my awesome second shooter, Kat Bevel!

The Q Kids { November }

Roxy will be seven in two months. Kai will be six in April. Marley gets closer to two every day. It drives them crazy that I take so many pictures … I still think I don’t take nearly enough.

Marley refused to stand still, next to a wall … She even looked at me like “Ummm, no, mom” as she walked off. I didn’t get a single shot of her here. Ha!

eKidsZilker-001

She does love to walk, though! As long as she can lead the way …

eKidsZilker-003

aaaaaand, now let’s go the other way …

eKidsZilker-004

More standing?! She let me take ONE picture of all three of them before taking off to explore the field.

eKidsZilker-018

Luckily, Roxy and Kai are old enough to be bribed into staying :)

eKidsZilker-017

I’m head over heels in love with this kid. Head. Over. Heels.

eKidsZilker-019

eKidsZilker-022

And this one?! This WILD child of mine?! I’m pretty in love with her, too.

eKidsZilker-011

This picture is sooo misleading. A calm, quiet Roxy? Nope. Never!

eKidsZilker-005

Model much, Rox? :)

eKidsZilker-010

eKidsZilker-013

eKidsZilker-014

eKidsZilker-015

eKidsZilker-012

I can’t ever get her to stand still, but she LOVES to lay and play with Rox and Kai. I love these!

eKidsZilker-025

eKidsZilker-024

eKidsZilker-027

She’s also a big fan of peek a boo :)

I love this couple. Love. Like … seriously love. Why? Because Jessica is gorgeous, hilarious and one of the happiest people I’ve ever met and because John-Austin is sweet and adorable and looks like he should be in a boy band (that’s a compliment, John-Austin!) I’m SO excited for their wedding!
