I’m going to tell on myself here…I don’t like to drive. I make my husband do all the driving. However, tonight, I had to make the trek out to Wimberly to meet up with this family all by my lonesome. And you know what? It wasn’t bad. Not bad at all. In fact, it was a BLAST and wow, Wimberly is beautiful…and so was this family. I loved their eclectic style…lots of color, lots of texture, lots of unique uses for old things. They were relaxed, comfortable, easy going, and so much fun to be around. I didn’t want the evening to end. And, I didn’t even mind the drive home, mostly because I couldn’t wait to flip through their images 😉
ETA a quick outtake…this would be right as baby girl decided to somersault off the bed. Thankfully, I can shoot one-handed in situations such as this and mom and dad have pretty quick reflexes too!
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!
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 ;-)]
Call for Austin area baby models: I’m currently looking for a baby girl about 3-5 months old who is available the morning of June 20th at 6:45 a.m. to do a quick session for Baby Cakes Scottsdale. Signed model release is required. In exchange for use of the images, you will receive low res copies of the edited images, a beautiful baby blanket ($100 value) and 1/2 off the Creative Fee for a 2010 Premium Session with me! Not a bad deal, huh? Interested applicants need to complete this form and send a fairly recent picture of your baby (doesn’t need to be professional) to me. Deadline to apply is Monday, June 14th.
Side note, for random and mostly useless info about me, check out my recent interview on The Creative Mama.
Stay cool!
Austin is losing such a super cool family, so we had a little photo session to help commemorate their best memories of Austin. Best of luck to you all in Dallas and Austin will miss you!
[I first met this beautiful family at an Xpressions session when she was only 6 months old – see pics 7 & 8. Our next one is coming up on June 20th and we have 2 early morning openings left. You absolutely cannot beat early morning sessions…cool, refreshing, amazing light. Come play! Especially all of those mommies due in August…it’s a perfect time to capture those maternity portraits before the summer really sets in.]
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!!!
