A senior session in New Branufels!

And boy was it a good one! This lovely high school senior was so stunning and even more, she was totally humble about her beauty!! What a treat :)

And with some great on-the-fly assistant work from her mom (and the perfect weather) we were able to get some truly awesome shots ... here's a few sneak peaks ...

Sewage stinks!

Yes folks, it is a messy and smelly problem ... and we are still dealing with it. That's right, it has been almost two weeks since the main lines around our house became full of back flow from the apartment complexes sewer lines behind us. After 15 hours of non-stop flowage, I've now got a yard full of this crud.

Ever wonder what those little white caps are for in your yard? Well, they are called 'clean outs' and they are access ways to the sewer lines. Using an auger (like along metal snake) a person can dig down in there to theoretically unblock the clog ups. Unfortunately, we had 3 of these flowing in out yard at one time ...TRIPLE YUCK!


This is what the side of my house looks like...

And here's my back yard. What was once bright green grass is now all a dingy grey (that's all the toilet paper) and the brown and black? .... well, I think you get the idea.
If you think the pictures are gross, just be thankful that I am not showing you the closeups ...and be thankful too that your screen isn't a scratch-n-sniff!

I've been calling the water company and they have finally agreed to come and clean up the mess, that that was supposed to be last week .... ugh, will this just ever all go away? :(

Look who's sitting up now!

Yep, this little sweety isn't even 6 months old yet and she's sitting up like a champ! Her mom and dad wanted some photos in the wildflowers and then at the park.


Today's wildflower shot was much brighter that last time I went, but with some great help what looked like this ....



....gave us great images like this!


After a few minutes here in the flowers, we went on down to the Lions park and took some great photos.


Now say it with me ....
Ain't gonna resta 'till after FIESTA!!!



And even though this little one was in a great mood today, no baby shoot would be complete without a few of these moments!

New ordering & pricing system comming soon!

Hello to all! I am so excited to announce that business is doing so well that I am now able to upgrade my online ordering processes! With this new system (and Lab) I can now offer Gift Certificates, print credits, 2 for 1 sales, discount incentives for early ordering ... did I mention 2 for 1 offers? ... and lots more! Plus, with my new system, there will no longer be any long waits for image posting, wrong orders, missing prints, shipping delays ... everything should run smooth and seamlessly!

I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am about this new chapter in my business! ... silly me, I'm actually excited about my new print lab!

Within the next few weeks I will be contacting all of my old/current/future customers under contract to explain this new and improved system ... even if you have a contracted agreement with me for x-amount of 4x6's, 5x7's or whatever, believe me when I tell you that this new system will be sooooooooo much more appealing for you to consider changing over too! (Have I mentioned the 2 for 1 offers available yet? )

If you want to know more about my new system when it's ready, be sure to subscribe to this blog (see the upper right hand corner)... you wont be sorry!

A test run at the salon

Yesterday evening I was able to join lovely Lisa at Madame Make up & Hair to give her wedding day makeup and hair a test run. All I can say is WOW! Those ladies know what they are doing! Lisa looked stunning in her wedding day glamor! I can't wait to see her all dolled up and in the wedding gown! She's gonna make my job way to easy!

Now, of course we wouldn't want the groom-to-be to see her all dolled up before the wedding day, so this is the only photo that I can share for now. (I'm so sneaky because in black and white nobody can even tell what colors she's gonna wear!)

Look who's having a birthday!

For my family that keeps up with this blog, you know who this is! She wanted me to take her out and do some fun and edgy shots to celebrate her birthday ... and every time I shoot her, she gets better looking!

We got so many great shots, so it's hard to pic my favorite ... but here's a few of them!
