I need to be stopped. I've officially gone crazy over these amazing iPhone cases from Get Uncommon (thanks a lot, Lyndsay ;-). I wasn't really sure about the quality until I saw it in person and wow! It's amazing! I may end up with a whole collection of these puppies.
Clients...if you have an iPhone, you've got to give this a try!!! In fact, if you want to use one of the images from any session with me, let me know and I would be happy to format it for you (the wrap can actually be a little tricky as I've learned and sometimes you need a little extra special photoshop work ;-). Contact me by the end of this month (even if you haven't actually had your session yet) and I'll help you out.
P.S. I think these would rock for seniors!

Can you figure it out?
Thank you so much to Z and his mommy for not looking at me like I was crazy when I told them what I wanted to do tonight. I can't even begin to tell you how much fun a session is when you just go with the flow and let the ideas roll. Happy early b-day to mr. Z!
[P.S. Happy 1st b-day to Kai if his mommy is reading this ;-)]
We melted and we couldn't get up.
Seriously cookin' at tonight's session, but hey, we got family pictures with EVERYONE in the frame, so I'd say it was a success! Thanks for putting up with the heat and location change guys.
Okay, I'll be the first to admit, this one had a tough start. This beautiful family ventured out quite a ways for our session and older bro fell asleep in the car. Understandably so, he was not thrilled with being awakened and then having to walk out into this field in the middle of nowhere. Oh my goodness, we tried *everything* and I mean everything to cheer him up, but it just wasn't working. I started to get scared because the sun was setting fast and we had already been out there about 20-30 min and I wasn't able to get much at all.
Finally I just decided to invite the whole crew back to my house for some drinks and snacks and Legos. Both boys brightened up at that idea and it actually turned out to be a lovely evening for us all (well, if you don't count the mosquitoes). We drug out the old purple couch into the bluebonnets in my yard and in between crackers and Lego creations, we managed to pull off a photo shoot before the sun set. Fresca saves the day once again!!!
I think any photog can relate to how difficult it is to put together a portfolio. In a field where you can end up with thousands upon thousands of perfectly wonderful, portfolio-worthy images over the course of just one year, you *always* end up having to cut pictures that are dear to you in favor of keeping your website fresh and up to date. That's why I absolutely dread the process of updating my portfolio and why I moved to a blogsite instead of a website. But by golly, I'm going to start a revolution...there should be a place for orphaned images on this site, too! So, would you be willing to help me create a gallery of the Pinkle Toes All Star images? Please don't think it narcissistic. I truly am curious to know those images on my blog that spoke to you or inspired you over the years. Images that have long since gone by the wayside. Images that even I don't think about until someone says, "I always remember that this one picture you did where..."
If there is one image from my site that stood out to you, perhaps you could describe it or even better, post a link to it (you can e-mail me, if you'd rather). I'll take your input and put together a gallery over the next few months. Maybe I could even pull a VH1 "Behind the Image" twist to it (I know I always love reading about what goes on behind the scenes).
Speaking of All Stars, remember the scandalous wedding a while back (Logi's class was called The All Stars)? Well, the happy couple finally graduated preschool (above). My gosh...seeing how much they changed like this, my mommy heart just did a little wistful flutter.
