Month: October 2009

and she’s soooo sweet.

Literally…running from the rain. Check out the rain in the first picture. There have been so many sessions that have had to be rescheduled lately because of the rain. We really wanted to try and get this session done if we could. My husband calculated the rain on the radar and told me I had about an hour before it would hit our area. We rushed through one location and then tried our luck at going to another location about 4 miles away. We drove, they changed some clothing, and right about that time it started. NO! We’ve gotten this far…we can’t stop now! So, we used a jacket and an umbrella and were able to get in some shots at the second location. Their daughter didn’t seem to care a bit about the rain…especially with that lollipop:) Hope you enjoy the peek..it was fun!

I love how she’s holding on to her dad’s finger

Here are samples of the holiday cards that I am offering for the 2009 season. One change that I’m making this year is that all of the flat cards will have a backside instead of being plain white. (some samples don’t show the back)

Here’s the pricing:

5×5 or 5×7 front/back $38 a set of 25

5×5 or 5×7 folded (4 sides) $50 a set of 25

5×5 trifold $70 a set of 25

5×7 wide format $70 a set of 25

Up to 3 samples can be made free of charge. Just let me know your card choices and favorite pictures:)

Loved her wardrobe! Loved her spunky-ness! We had rescheduled this session a handful of times for weather and sicknesses but we were finally able to meet up 🙂 Isn’t she adorable?

for fastest little boy that I’ve worked with. I know of a couple of little girls that would give him a run for the money but he’s still wins for the boys! We always, always, always get a workout when we run around with him but we are also entertained the whole time. He’s one of the happiest, full-of-life, smiling kids I know. Just take a look.

He loves to run and dive down into the ground. Luckily I caught a few!

He doesn’t know these boys. They were playing football and he just ran up behind them and got into position. Too cute! Dad was about to grab him here.

His mom is expecting again:)

I’ve had some super fun clients lately…can’t you see? Loved this idea and couldn’t wait to do this photo shoot. We stayed in their backyard which was absolutely a dream backyard. Can you guess which dog was into modeling and which thought that we were wasting his time? Typical male:) Especially a typical male (not every.single.one. but most are like this) being forced to dress up for a photo shoot!

We went out with the family today for some pictures of our own. We had one little man (ahem, Drew) that would NOT cooperate. Yes, I have one of those kids! I wonder if another photographer could get some shots of him?! It was pretty fun. We decided to go to some of my favorite places in downtown Houston. Hopefully I’ll have some time to share some.

But because of my daughter’s birthday/slumber party last night and family pictures today (you know how stressful and tiring that is) I’m absolutely pooped out and need to get to bed. So, Jennifer in case your checking for a sneak peek…I promise I’ll get on that first thing in the am:)

AND FOR THOSE THAT ARE WAITING ON THE HOLIDAY CARD SAMPLES THOSE WILL BE UP BY TUESDAY!!!

Very easy-going family with a busy little girl and such a sweet little boy. Little miss brought her own baby and blanket along and gave us some great photo ops as she played peek-a-boo with us.

This was such a blast! I LOVE puppies so I jumped on this when his owner asked if I’d take pictures of her 7-week old puppy. She kept apologizing that he wasn’t being good but he was actually so easy to work with. In fact, one of the easiest new babies ever.

Ummm, he weighs more than that. That’s just the front end. A little chunky monkey:)

I spotted this field and loved the yellow flowers. I just know that it will be cut soon so I headed out with my girls and a friend of mine and her girls to take a few shots in the flowers. The only problem was that it had been pouring rain every single day, and was supposed to continue to pour, and I didn’t have much time. By the time we grabbed clothes and did some quick hair fixing, drove over there and unloaded everyone and everything, we had 20 minutes until I had to leave to go to another photo shoot. It was like “Ok, you…get out there!” “Act like you love each other”! NOW! “Ok, next”! It was pretty funny but I’m really glad we went.

I love side profiles

Can’t you just feel the love between my two? Ha I’m pretty sure they were making smart alec remarks to each other and finding it pretty amusing.

Our poser of the day

Ahem….couldn’t get a real smile out of her until we said a certain boy’s name.

This place had it all…sigh:) There were hay bales, huge beautiful trees, and 2 old rustic barns with vines growing on them. I could do pictures there every day.
