I’m all caught up with recent sessions so thought I’d post THE picture that kicked off my photography business. I took this of Lily in our first official “photo session” and I loved this picture so much I thought, “I can do this, dammit.” It was the type of memory I wanted to capture; her big expressive eyes, holding tight to her Gigi, sort of angry at me, a strange angle, and just as candid as can be.

Wowzers are these girlies ever cute! Loved them! Mom was so organized and ready for this session. She was also the first person to take me up on the Discovery Green location and I am grateful to her! It is definitely a fun place for pictures and to take your family to enjoy Houston.

This was fun. Go to www.wordle.com and make yourself a word cloud all about you (or anything else you fancy!). Soooooo easy!!!

Here’s mine with words from my blog:

This is beautiful Breanna. She is the daugther of our good friends Chuck and Shelly. I was not this beautiful or mature when I was 13. Bree is as lovely inside as she is on the outside. She tolerated my Lily hanging on her every word (literally!).

I just sent out an email blast regarding my Holiday Mini-Sessions. If you did not get it, shoot me a quick email at saramoonphotography@gmail.com and I’ll make sure you get the info!

Hope you are having a pleasant Monday and recovering from Ike.

xoxoxo

That was a most unpleasant week. Can I get an Amen? All of my faithful blog readers, please check in with a comment to let me know you’re alright! And to all of those in the area with any kind of Ike devastation…I am so very sorry.

A happy snap:

Regarding Ike: Hang in there Houstonians – We can do it!

Regarding Matilda Jane: Don’t forget my trunk show is next Saturday the 20th. We are getting the first crack at the brand new West Side line! I am so excited to see it. I’ll mail out those catalogs (because Sack Lunch is sold out practically) as soon as I get them. Please contact me if you want in on the merchandise or to come to the show!! Remember you don’t have to live around here

Here is a pic of a sneak peek of the new stuff, and a blog post announcing the designer’s excitement!

(Not my picture – it’s from another very cool photographer.)

So expressive she was. Wonderfully nice family. Made my day to be their photographer. (And the bunny pics…that scene would have made you die from cuteness overload.)

First up, Mandy and Brock: Married!

Next, Kelli and Travis: Engaged!
