We made it! Despite all of the wild highs and lows of this past year, December is somehow already winding down. There’s no better way to send off the old and ring in the new than with a proper party. As an Austin family photographer, I love helping my clients have fun. Here are my five recommendations for New Year’s Eve in Austin for kids.
