We've been having some amazing sunsets at the Pinkle Toes studio this winter. Add that to the amazing green grass my hubby planted + two beautiful expectant parents and it makes my heart flutter with joy. All of my newborn clients have the option to add a mini maternity session to their newborn session to document this precious time without having to invest in a full session...definitely take advantage of that opportunity if you can!
Speaking of opportunities, if you have a baby or are expecting to have a baby any time between 1/10/12 and 1/31/12 and live in Austin, we want to hear from you!!! It could definitely be worth your while ;-).
[Aaaaaaaanddd...just a thought, but all of you expectant mommies (or even if you're thinking of having a baby in the near future) in Austin...our .emme. boudoir sweetheart mini sessions coming up next weekend might just be the perfect Valentine's Day gift ;-).]
Day one of the first workshop of 2012 was wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Today, we're going to be traipsing all over Austin photographing families and exploring our beautiful city. It's going to be a loooooooong, but productive day!
I have completely enjoyed my little break so far, hanging out with my kiddos and doing all of these holiday-like things with them each day (in spite of being sick). It has been so nice to get offline and off the computer and out of packing tape to play board games, watch movies, look at Christmas lights, snuggle, laugh, bake sweets, and soak up every thing I missed while I was caught up in the holiday photography whirlwind.
Pinkle Toes Photography will continue to be closed until January 9th (well, still got some sessions and still have workshops coming up), but please be patient as e-mails, facebook messages, and phone calls will likely not be returned until after the 9th.
Clients...I will be sending you the details of the 2011 Pinkle's Pic of the Year contest. Changing things up this year to make it more exciting and the prize is even bigger! Be on the lookout in your e-mail next week and if you don't get something by the 1st, let me know!!!!
I will try to catch up on the blog sometime next year (ha!) to share all of the incredible holiday family sessions and beautiful cards from this year. I have so enjoyed getting all of your cards in the mail!!! Gosh, there are a lot of beautiful happy families out there and that make my heart happy. Meanwhile, if you didn't get a copy yet, here's a peek at our holiday card this year:
I hope you ALL have a WONDERFUL holiday season and are spending lots and lots of time with the ones you love, enjoying old traditions and creating new memories.
Much love,
Michele
In case you didn't hear, .emme. boudoir (ie. me and my makeup artist friend, Katie) is offering Sweetheart mini sessions and just in time for Valentine's Day. Want more info?
[A little hint...this would make for a really fun and unique maternity portrait session. I'm just sayin'.]
