Let the Countdown Begin…
School is almost out and Summer is just around the corner. We have had some crazy weather around here… hot, cold, rainy… we never know what to expect. We do however know that Austin Summers are out-of-this-world HOT, which is why now is the best time for photos. In the midst of our Countdown to Summer, I have decided to bless 1 very special person with a free session, plus 5 others with the chance to book a session for half-off… that’s right, HALF-OFF! Gosh, I just LOVE giveaways. (You will find instructions below on how to enter.)
You may be thinking to yourself, “We could really use some updated family photos, but I could probably just use our nice camera and it wouldn’t cost a dime.”
This is true, but I am here to tell you that unfortunately, they will not look the same. There are some very nice, smart, affordable cameras out there that do a great job, but you will not get the same end results. It is not always as simple as it looks. Read HERE to see what I’m talking about.
How do I enter to win??
1 – You must ‘like’ us on Facebook… facebook.com/coatiphotography
2 – To win the FREE photo session, you must be the very first person to e-mail me. Tell me how you would use your free session.
3 – The first 5 people to e-mail me (after the winner) will receive HALF-OFF a photo session.

GET TO IT PEOPLE!!
Adison {austin senior photographer}
Ladies and gents… please give a warm welcome to our newest Senior Spokesmodel, Adison!
The second that I received Adison’s Senior Rep Application, I knew right away that she was the absolute perfect fit. After meeting her and her sweet Mama this evening, she proved me right! Adison is the sweetest, funniest, coolest, most outgoing high schooler that I have ever met. She is involved in EVERYTHING! And be sure to keep her on your radar, because she wants to go into broadcasting… which I am most positively sure she will excel in!
Meet sweet Adison…

Day 8 {Sydney’s Senior Portraits}
Tonight, I had the pleasure of taking Sydney’s senior portraits! I will make this short and sweet, because let’s be honest… I’m watching The Bachelor. :)
How gorgeous is this girl? She was such a pro!
Loved getting to know you tonight, Sydney! Enjoy your senior year!!!
Day 3 {sweet friend}
Day 3 was a swap day. My sweet friend, Whitney, and I swapped with each other for the day. She is also participating in 30Days/30Photos, so we decided to take photos of each other for Day 3…
The Switch {austin lifestyle + portrait photographer}
Hello there!
After much thought, I have decided to make The Switch. What exactly is “The Switch”? Well, let me explain…
Over the past year, I have photographed numerous beautiful weddings and loved every minute of it. However, as most of you know, we began fostering our sweet little boy at the very beginning of this year. There is absolutely nothing I love more than being at home with him and watching him learn something new every single day. We were just given the news that he will officially become part of our family next month! I CAN NOT even put into words how happy this makes me. We are thrilled!
All of this considered, I have decided to pull back on the number of weddings I accept, and focus more on lifestyle and portrait sessions. This is where I began my business, and it really is what I desire to do. Not only am I extremely passionate about family photography, but this will also allow me to spend even more time with my own family! What could be better than doing what you love, and getting to enjoy it all while watching your little one grow? Nothing.
So, head on over to my new pricing page and check out the changes that I have made. Please feel free to spread the word that our family sessions are back in full swing!! :)
Warmly,
Kimberly
Family Sale {austin family photographer}
Families… you are in luck! Ever since bringing Little Dude into our home, I can’t help but feel all mushy when it comes to family. There is just something so great (yet so terrifying) about becoming a mommy for the first time. So, because I am in such a lovely mood, I would love to offer families a REALLY great deal for the entire month of May. YES!!! This can include anything from newborn, senior portraits, or just your good ‘ol fashion family photos (with a modern twist). Sessions will include an online proofing gallery of ALL of your photos, along with a DVD of 30-50 HIGH-RES retouched images.
Are you ready for the AMAZING deal?? Only $200. Yes, that is correct… you are getting a whole $100 off of your session. I may be crazy, but you should probably take advantage of me during this oh-so-sweet new-mommy-moment. :)
How to take advantage…
