The best thing about headed east out of Austin is seeing the majestic pine trees surrounding the Bastrop area. So seeing all the fire damage to homes and all those amazing pines is a sad sight to see but life goes on and new growth is in full force!

One little town surrounding Bastrop is Smithville,TX where we had a amazing family to photograph with the cutest little girl which i'm totally biased  b/c my wife is her nanny (cajun Godmother)! We made a entire day out of it by fishing, photography and having dinner in Smithville.  

Not only did we take a family portrait, but we had two conceptual ideas: one with a old Scout International/old fishing pole and the other with a really cute bathing suit, bubbles and a rustic bucket. Looooove shoots like this and can't wait for her to turn one!
