I still don’t know what Saturdays I can work in the fall, so I have decided to start booking some Sunday appts. for those of you getting antsy to book your fall session.  If you want to book a session please email me at fotobydeedra@aol.com.  Here are what is left this second (don’t hesitate please, they won’t last)…

October 3rd 3pm

October 10th 3pm

(just updated the dates again, told you they would go fast)

Yes, I will have more dates, but those will be posted later.  And as always, weekdays are the best appts.  I only book one in the morning and one in the afternoon (more camera time for you and your family) and I can book weekday appts. now.

Still waiting on those Saturday Fall Ball schedules.

She is so stinkin’ cute!  and I was one of the first ones to get to meet her!  How Blessed am I to be able to share in such a Glorious family time.  Put me and the boys on top of the babysitting list please.  Congratulations friends from all the Folmars! 

Dear Brides, don’t miss out on having some fun shoes under all that poof!  All the girls shoes on Friday were silver and fabulous. 

July wedding outside…on Friday was breezy and a little cloudy and honestly wasn’t that bad…we took all their photos outside and they said “it wasn’t too bad”.  Notice they are alone.  I chased everybody away.  Every bride and groom deserves some time alone. 

I love how he is admiring her and how she just kept wiping the tears… 

he makes her laugh…every marriage needs laughter…

natural, beautiful light… 

I love this one.  Probably because it has a more photojournalism feel to it… 

See that face…that’s the face everybody wants to see when the bride walks down the aisle…and it doesn’t change even if they have seen each other

I’m a sucker for the handoff, and at an outside ceremony, I can move around and get it from this amazing angle… 

I am also a sucker for the blue cloudy sky…

another great angle during the ceremony…

got quite a few funky dance pictures I really liked at this one too…

Spence Est. Friday night at The Wellington.  The pictures speak for themselves really.  These two are the winners of the free wedding photography package from the 2010 Bridal Show!  She is super quiet and he is super funny and loves the camera.  He never stopped smiling all day and she cried tears of joy a lot of the day.  They were quite precious to watch!  I wish them all the best and am happy to have been there to witness their wedding day.

I have changed the message on my phone, so I am committed now.  I am on vacation until the end of August.  Sounds like a long time, I know, but here’s the deal.  It is too blazin’ hot for pictures and I need some time to regroup for Fall.  Fall has actually become a more busy time for me than the summer wedding season, and as my hubby and my kids point out too often, I am not as young as I used to be. 

Now about Fall portrait dates.  I am getting lots of inquiries about them, but I cannot schedule much yet because we still do not have Fall baseball schedules and probably won’t have them for a few more weeks.  Sorry, but I am not missing all the boys’ games again this year.  We have decided that if that means I work on Sundays, then so be it.  I will be releasing Sunday October appts. on Monday.  They are first come first served.  They will have to be booked by email because as I said, my vacation message is on and I am not turning back now. 

If there is such a thing as a photo emergency you can reach me by email at fotobydeedra@aol.com. 

They really do grow up too fast.   

Perfect morning for a little princess at the playground.

This probably looks weird here, and you might be wondering why so much “dead” space?  It’s a guestbook.  A guestbook that you might actually have out and around to look at because it is pictures and signatures.

First Christian Church Wichita Falls, Texas

you’re going to see a lot of this little guy…cuz he was super cute and super awesome all day…

you’re also going to see a lot of these…it was a really good ring night… 

Leeann gets a little gift…

yummy….Kathy’s cake

see good ring night…

oh, and the cutie pie again…

and his sister ain’t so bad herself!…

that flower ball was heavy!!!!  I am pretty sure you could use it while doing Jillian workouts instead of hand weights…

no complaints about the heat…

nice colors… 

oh, and red corvette never hurts either…

my view…

and we don’t get this view often, but when we do, we take complete advantage.  This is where Rachael got to watch from…and love the look from Dad! 

me again, love the listening shot…

but love more the dropping the candle shot…they handled it the only way you can, lots of laughter…

family…

Rachael caught this and I must say I love, love, love it! 

my view…

little alone time… 

and then outside for the butterfly release… 

get away dress…

and the get away!

Congratulations to Leeann and Eric!  Have some fun in Mexico and thank you for including us on your big day.

I am easily distracted in Deep Ellum.  All the colors and textures and the signs, so amazing for all kinds of pictures.  So I was pretty happy when Whitney told me that was where her and Hue wanted to take their maternity pictures…

Couldn’t not stop here because Hue is constantly making her (and me too) laugh…

see… 

oh, but Little Miss Thang decided to make some noise and a ruckus too!  I think it is a girl for sure…she is going to have a life full of smiles and laughs with these two… 

gorgeous Mommy, just like at their engagements, her bridals and their wedding!  I am a fan of these two.  I stalk them just a little…

she is actually laughing at me this time!  I said something pretty funny myself!

I couldn’t believe the weather.  It was a little bit cloudy and there was a breeze.  I never even broke a sweat.  I think there was a angel watching over us…

sonogram pics are amazing these days….it’s only been 6 years since I had one, but it never looked that detailed…

and of course Daddy thinks “she” looks like him.  Can’t wait to meet her….or him.  Thanks for the laughs and thanks for the lunch!  Talk to you soon.
