This mission is to make sure every one of my little clients has a photo BY  HIS OR HERSELF with Mom. No brother mucking up the shot. No mean ol’ sister. Just mother and child.

We so often forget how important this is. When our children are older, when we, as their mothers, are lost to them, they need at least one picture that they can hold on to, one that is only theirs, and isn’t just a picture, but a memory of a good day.

We’re going to take that picture.

And we’re going to donate all the proceeds to the Susan G. Komen Foundation to fight breast cancer, so that the day that picture comes out isn’t before its time.

• Saturday, May 8 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
• $10 per child
• You go home with a 4×6 print of you with each child, done on the spot.

Just tell me the hour range you plan to stop by so I can plan. I’m planning on these being outdoor shots unless the weather is bad, in which case I’ll prepare a pretty indoor set.

We’ll snap your shots, then you’ll get to do a craft with your children (and have a snack!) while we print our favorite of you with each child, retouched and ready to frame.

You can order more later if you need them.

If your friends can’t normally afford to go to a pro, tell them this is the time! It’s all for charity, and it’s all to freeze a moment in time, to remember a really good day.

I will also be making a video of all the images, dedicated to both our moms and all the women in our lives who have fought breast cancer, so please let me know any names you’d like to be a part of this special tribute. 

Dress casual, dress up, dress silly. It’s up to you! Just remember, this special is about you and your little one! We won’t be doing individuals or groups photos on this day. Try the spring special (post below) for that!

Email me or call 512.347.0081 to let me know you’re coming. I can’t wait to see you!

The special will run  May 16-23.
With video $145
Stills only $95
I’m not posting a schedule because video slots are longer than non-video ones, and I’ll rearrange my times based on the type of shoots we’re doing.

Call me at 512.347.0081 or email me to let me know which weekend day you’d like. 

To do a photo shoot that includes a video on DVD,  I will mail you your DVD and the video will have your song choice.

Both options will have full galleries online to view images and big prints (16×20 and up) will be 25% off, because I really think you’re going to get that family picture you’ve always wanted.

Here is the schedule:

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR A GREAT YEAR! We’ll do this again in 2011!

If you’re on my mailing list, you’ll get a notice.

Sittings this year are $75 and include one picture any size up to 8×10.

I’ve been photographing bluebonnets professionally for TEN years! See my favorites in this video! Are YOU in it?

I love Christmastime! It gets a little crazy at the studio, but I get to see all the big kids who only come once a year, and we get whole families to take their pictures together.

Always wanted that cute “Christmas morning” shot of kids in their PJs, but didn’t have the matching PJs? I’ve got them! Cute little fitted unisex pajamas with red and white stripes in sizes 2T through 12! Elizabeth is modeling them  on the left, one of my long-time clients are showing it on their card.

And is your child naughty? Or nice? You get to pick with the new props!

I have lots of new card designs, but mainly I’m custom designing many new cards based on what we get at your photo shoot. Come with your ideas, favorite cards, and color schemes and we’ll create something just for you!

Here’s the schedule. I keep it as updated as possible. Call 512-347-0081 or email me to reserve a slot. The sitting fee is $75 and we book two-hour slots, so you won’t be rushed.

I can’t wait to see you!  

So I created the most beautiful scene imaginable with trees, a custom-painted snow forest, and my wonderful sleigh. My dad is delighted to play the role of Santa for the weekend, and we’ll take a wonderful series of images that will make incredible holiday cards.

A $50 donation reserves your slot.

Learn more about the special with my video. Feel free to pass it on!

Should you be unable to make it that day, the donation will apply toward a rescheduled regular sitting. Baby Plan members may participate on an add-a-session basis so that the hospital can still get their donation. 

Images will be posted to a special online gallery for ordering. Additional items that benefit the hospital will be available for purchase, as well as special discount packages and deals!

This year I will have TWO outdoor locations!

From Oct. 16 to Oct 24, I will be at Boulder Park just a few blocks from the studio in West Austin. I’ve been doing shoots here for years, and it is wonderfully green, always quiet, and makes for a very easy photo shoot.

And for Sunday, Oct. 25, I will make all my north people happy by doing photographs in Old Settler’s Park in Round Rock! The rustic buildings, old tractor, and amazing trees make for beautiful shots.

Available time slots are below. The sitting fee is the same as it has been for many years, $95, and it includes a proof portfolio that is yours to keep. These will come by mail a week or so after your shoot. Your packet will include sample holiday cards in case you are interested in those.

The sessions will be about 15 minutes and are free (of course!) For your trouble in dressing up your kiddo and dragging them to my studio, you’ll get a $25 gift certificate you can use any time with me.

The big winner will be featured all over the place in my promotional materials, and will win a $100 Target gift card and a $300 photography credit.

Email or call me at 512-347-0081 to arrange a time to come by. No pressure, no posing, just fun! It all ends June 30!

If you’d like to book a 6/6:30 shot, email me or call 512-347-0081. A list of available dates is down below. The sitting fee is $75 and includes a portfolio of the best images that is yours to keep (as always). I’ll bring the tea party set if you want it! Just let me know.

If it’s a cloudy day, CALL me at 512-347-0081 and we’ll get you in right away, especially if you have preschoolers who need something morning or afternoon. Full sun washes out the blooms and makes everyone squint, so we have to plan around the clouds and evening shadows.

Available Dates 

Deanna is fully booked for bluebonnets 2009. See you all next year!

The outdoor special is underway! The weather has finally turned beautiful.

The lake location is amazing. My favorite pictures are definitely on the old wood dock and always, visitors! About twenty ducks and one swan tend to come when we break out the basket of bread.

I still have a few slots for this weekend and next weekend, plus one or two evenings spots available (see post below.)
