Last fall, the girls and I ran out in the rain with two pounds of bluebonnet seeds to see if we could help the state flower along. Let’s hope that our efforts bear blooms! The Bluebonnet Cam at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center shows some flower power rising, but so far nothing from my [...]

This year I have three new Christmas card designs as well as a new portrait concept to represent a more reflective year. I’ve heard from so many of you, enduring uncertainty after a lay off or just worrying about the future. I too have seen a big change in my own business this year, and [...]

So what if it’s Texas and snow is a once-in-a-decade thing. We’re having a great time with the sleigh shoots! The dogs have been so much fun and the kids love to jingle the sleigh bells! Some of you moms have insisted this is an odd year, and you couldn’t get yourself together in October, [...]

It is time for the sleigh special! It will run from Oct. 2-26. If you already know you want to do it, here’s the schedule, find a slot! I have the PERFECT spot for these images in the back of Boulder Park, just four blocks from my studio. In a new section of the park, we [...]

My sleigh is here! I got the final touches ready by buying some holly and bows for it yesterday. I’m so amazed by it — I can’t wait to start taking pictures of children for the holidays. I decided to post an image of the sleigh on my blog, so I grabbed a camera and walked [...]

Summer means fun outdoor pictures in casual clothes. No fancy dresses! No shiny shoes! Just kids having a blast. Click for more information on the special.

So did Dad do a great job on Mother’s Day? If so, time to return the favor (if not, time to show him how it’s DONE!) From May 17-31, come take the cutest shot there ever was for Dad’s big day! Bring your little ones, some of dad’s shirts and ties (or borrow some of ours–we [...]

Oh, I had a great time at the Bellies & Babies seminar last week! I learned some really simple things I should have already known after nine years in the baby photo business (warm up the props with a hair dryer before lying a naked baby down!) And some really amazing poses–a few that I [...]

I am verrrry excited about the Babies and Bellies special coming up. I decided to go to a workshop in San Antonio geared toward maternity and newborn photography, and I want to do it all–now! Maternity shoots vary so much between the serene peace-mama images and the silly kiss-the-belly (or even paint-the-belly) variety. They are all [...]

Despite the calendar flipping to mid-October already, I was terribly surprised to wake up Saturday morning and feel CHILLED! Even though our summer was especially mild this year with all the rain, I had forgotten what it was like to want to settle back into the covers rather than throw them off from the heat. [...]
