Marlene | Austin Graduation Headshots

Although an Abilene girl originally, Marlene moved to Austin from Washington DC after finishing law school earlier this year!

Since she’s entering a new time in her professional life and hadn’t taken graduation portraits, we did a small mini session to commemorate both.

Pretty sure Marlene picked me as her portrait photographer because my first name is Tara and she’s a huge Tara Lipinski fan!

Marlene ice skates as well if you can’t tell by those rocking stems she’s sporting!

We had a great time quoting lines from “The Cutting Edge” during our shoot…..”toepick”!

I also totally think Marlene looks like Nina Dobrev from Vampire Diaries, anyone else?

How lucky is that?

I wouldn’t say this is groundbreaking portraiture, but I adore Marlene’s confident pose in the image below on the left.

If I was an employer going thru potential job applicants, this photo would scream, “Yes, it’s me, the one that can turn this trainwreck of a company around”.

Hey, my tree is still up, so we can post Christmas light images still!

Marlene also just bought a brand spanking new Mustang convertible!

There’s something about the second car you own.

It’s usually more “you” and not a parental hand me down.

Anyone that knows me knows I am obsessed with convertibles and weekly lament selling mine years ago…..sigh.

Many congrats to you and your awesome life, Marlene!
