    Senior pictures are so easy and so fun.  And it is time to schedule them if you plan on sending pictures with your announcements or even making your announcements with your pictures.  This appointment took less than 1 hour and was taken in the lovely wind on Monday.  That probably wouldn’t have worked for a girl, but it worked perfectly for Reed.  He brought a friend (highly recommend that, a friend, girlfriend, sister, brother, whatever.  Just someone to help you feel more comfortable), changed shirts a few times.  Done.  And Reed said these things after the session.  “That was easy and painless.”  Pictures are fun.  Make your appointment today!

    This is how you make your mama happy.  Smile and take pictures.  It doesn’t take that long and I promise it is fun and your mother will be so happy there’s no telling what you will get out of the deal!  Thanks to our favorite Kindergarten teacher!

    She had me at “hello” and I immediately fell in love with this sweet lady.  Effie turned 110 this month and celebrated with her family on Friday evening.

    The link above is the story about it.  I am pretty sure, I won’t be able to say I photographed the only 110-year-old in Texas ever again!  Thank you Effie for gracing my camera with your beautiful image.

  • Seasons of Change

    Before the rumor mill gets started I AM NOT GOING OUT OF BUSINESS.  I am only moving out of my office.  In a very crazy economy and a completely over-saturated photography business an office is a luxury. 

    I am very excited about this change!  I plan on taking this opportunity and turning it into a renewal time for my business and my skills.  There are going to be a lot of changes.  Some changes I know already and some I have not even thought about yet.  I am still going to be photographing weddings and families and everything that comes with both.  I still plan on having more basic/beginner classes and even some shooting classes.  And I will also be doing some wedding assisting (people have been telling me for a while now that I should do this and I’m going to listen to them). 

    I would like to say, this office space is fabulous!  and the landlord is even more fabulous!  His name is Paul Hughes and his number is 940-642-1281.  If you are interested in renting this space let him know.  900+ square feet, one big room and one small room and a bathroom. 

    There will be a studio sale at the end of the month.  Almost everything in here will be for sale including samples, frames, and furniture!  If I have a picture/wrap you want, go ahead and let me know asap.  Prices are going to be very reasonable.   

    Finally, I am so BLESSED to be able to do what I LOVE everyday no matter where I am doing it.  I have nothing but fabulous customers who I appreciate so very much!  I am so very THANKFUL for all of you.

    That’s it for now.  More to come later.  Please don’t send your condolences.  I am not dead.  Change is good!

    Yesterday the weather was beautiful and I was a lucky girl and got to photograph to great families!  Here’s some pictures from the first session with the Beans.  Little Berkley was crackin’ me up with her serious face.  Thank you family for playing outside with me for a while.

    We are spending the slower months of winter making albums!  Ordered 3 this morning.  Rachael finished this engagement album and I got half a wedding album done!!!!!!  We are getting close to October weddings, so get your 100 favorites in your Pictage favorites folders….or do what Leslie chose to do today and give us full creative control.  My plan is to be completely caught up on albums by the end of February.
