{Christmas in July}

I saw the first sign of Christmas the other day in a store....already?! It seems gets earlier every year. Christmas is five months away and if you want to get a jump on it now is the time. You will want to call and book a session before my calendar is full. In order to get your cards in early December (and not stress myself out in the process) my deadline for Christmas sessions is October 31st. For those who procrastinate (don't we all?) we can do it in November but there will be a rush fee. The package above is only one of the options available. Contact me for a more detailed price list. Also, remember if you book before September 15th you will receive a 4x6 spiral bound book with 20 retouched images from your session!

Christmas Cards...2009

Here are some options for Christmas cards this year. Most of my designs are custom, and not premade. So, whether you are a traditionalist, whimsical, modern or artistic we will find the perfect card for you and your family! There is a variety of sizes, textures and options for your card. Linen, pearl, watercolor.....4x6, 5x5, 5x7.....flat, folded, trifold.....you will have a unique card to match your family!!

{Doggies}

Here is a preview from my session with Molly, Clyde, Spanky, Panda and Blue....yes, 5 sweet dogs! These are my favorites from each one of the dogs and later I will post some more. Each personality was apparent from the beginning. Panda and Spanky being the oldest, pretty much stayed out of my way and observed. Molly and Blue were all about getting pet...and giving you kisses. Clyde the baby and newest of the bunch...well....he was a ham!! Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!!

Diana's Baby Shower

Gary...my love

While visiting my sister in Seguin this past weekend I feel in love with her wire hair terrier...Gary. The second I got out of the car he was licking me and trying to jump on me...this was a shock to my sister and brother in law. See Gary is their watchdog who barks at EVERYONE! Needless to say it was love at first sight for the both of us!

{You spin me round, round, baby round round}

My office buddy is officially moving {boo} to Colorado. She is applying for a job at Pura Vida Spa/Gym She is sending out a resume and needed some images to send with it.

my baby boy

I always have a birthday photoshoot with my kids. Usually in the same week as their birthday. Well, my baby boy's came and went in May so I am super late!! He has hit the big 5!!! He is pure attitude and I would not have it any other way. He has his daddy's dry, smart "A" mouth, and he can turn around 5 mins later and tell me I am the most beautiful mommy. He loves the Wonderpets, Goosebumps, his best friend Mr. C, and his brothers...most of the time..lol! Love you baby!!!

Mr. & Mrs.

Amanda and Joe's wedding was this past weekend, and what a wonderful event. Like I said before I have known Amanda since she was a little girl so I have an emotional connection....which was apparent during the father/daughter dance. Yes, everyone, I teared up! And no, my assistant was kind enough not to take that photo! LOL Thank you Joe and Amanda for allowing me to be apart of your day. You are a beautiful couple, and have such a wonderful connection with one another. Enjoy your sneak peek...I will post some more soon!!
