Oh how I wish I could dig up a senior picture of myself and illustrate how I did.not.look.like.Stacy.

She was only my second high school senior to photograph and this might be my new favorite group to work with. Stacy made my job so easy. She is a highly trained dancer and as nice and smart as she is beautiful and graceful.

That’s all I can really say for this post. Lucky me.

Meet baby Austin and his proud, beautiful family. Thank you for allowing me to capture your pregnancy and new baby, Leigh. xoxoxoxo

Hi Everyone!

If you plan on joining me for a family session or a holiday session this year, today is the last day to purchase the gift certificates that add in $75 for every $200 your purchase. These gift cards may be used for anything related to a session (the session fee, prints, albums, image boxes, digital files, etc.) The only thing they don’t count towards is my workshop.

Speaking of my workshop…IT”S GOING LIKE HOTCAKES! So jump in on that, too. If you need more information on it, please email me, or stay tuned to the blog, my newsletter, my facebook page, etc. I’ll be updating more in the next few days.

Remember them?

Well, their tiny bundle arrived and is quite possibly the most gorgeous baby boy ever…

This was from the springtime believe it or not…I just overlooked this session when I was posting to my blog and you are in for a treat!!

Yee Haw! I will be hosting a “Taking Fantastic Pictures of Your Loved Ones” Photography Workshop on November 8th, 2009!

::Using those symbols!
::Better yet, getting off of Auto mode!
::The Holy Trinity of Photography (Shutter, Aperture, ISO)
::What makes a good picture, anyway? (the clothing, the surroundings, the     ”props”)
::Composition 101

::Resources for your Photography needs (What to buy, what NOT to buy, where to learn more, etc.)
::Real models to practice on! Get ready for the fun stuff!

What will NOT be covered:
::Editing (I have another class for that! It’s a BIG can of worms, trust me.)
 
Date: Sunday, November 8, 2009
Location: Mason Road and Kingsland Blvd in Katy
Time: Tentatively 9a.m. – 2 p.m.
Provided: Drinks and snacks and me! (We’ll go next door to a bagel cafe for lunch)

Cost: $150 per person

You may enroll in the class between now and October 31st. Please contact me via email or phone to sign up. Space will be limited, so don’t delay!

I wish I knew how to do the editing technique (second pic down below) correctly a la the image is found, but alas, I don’t. If anyone out there can give me a tip or two, let me know! Otherwise, this is the best I could do and I still love it.

Can’t believe how many great comments I got on the wedding pix redux post! Thanks everyone! Tracy and Jesse were awesome and fun and just as wonderful as they look.

Now, who wants to be my next victims???? I would LOVE to redo your wedding pictures for you! Call me

Laura, Sami and Baby Noah. What wonderful, interesting, welcoming friends I made that day. Noah is ONE special boy. If you only knew what he and his mama and daddy have been through together. He is their miracle.
