I am asking for a favor :)

Hello all! I am here to ask you a favor. As part of a personal project I would like you to take a moment and think of 5 words that you think describe my personality. No, you do not need to pass this on, you do not need to wait for me to reply back and no, your computer will not self-destruct in 30 seconds if you don't post your 5 words :)

Like I said, this is a small self project that actually relates to my business (Don't ask!). And don't rack your brains ... just type down the first 5 things that describe my personality (Not my body .. I already know about all my grey hairs and wrinkles thank you very much!) Thanks so much for doing this for me!

Seminars & Workshops Galore!

Wow!!!!! What a ride! That's the best way that I can explain how the last few days have been for me. First off I got lucky enough to got to a very small and intimate workshop with the fantastic John Michael Cooper, A.K.A. The Godfather of Trash the dress. Talk about a great experience. This talented guy was a bundle of energy and excitement that could talk 90 miles per minute ... and it was so awesome to be able to hang on for the ride as he shared with us his views, philosophies and creative insights!

Next, only a few days later I got to attend a totally inspiring seminar hosted by none other than Mr. David Jay and the beautiful Jasmine Star! What an inspiring pair those two are! They are so hyped about what they do and more over they just can't wait to share with you their insights on the photography of business and how everything works together. What fun!

As I am typing this it is after 1 in the morning and I STILL want to learn more and reflect on what I have learned in the past few days! But, since I have to get some much needed rest, I'll just have to call it a night and share more with ya later!

So for now, here's a quick shot I asked to take with David Jay himself! What a treat to get the chance to stand next to such greatness ;)

Another wedding!

And this one was so much fun! Everything ran on time. Everyone was genuinely happy. The families were a dream to be with. The wedding coordinators were on their best game. The folks at the Westin La Cantera were awesome. The bride and groom were in love!

Can you tell that it was a great wedding :)

Here's a quick shot that I grabbed of the couple at their rehearsal dinner which was held at the Guenther House ... now THAT was a great meal! I'll share more pics as I can get to them.

Lady in Red

Cool title for a great image, don't ya think! This is another great image from the Buda Baby session. I could have shot this sleeping little one all day!

The sweetest sisters :)

These lovely ladies were just a dream to be with and talk too. You couldn't ask for a better set of girls to work with ... and don't they just look so stunning in the morning window light!?!?!?!

Beautiful Buda Baby!

This is from today's newborn session. The Mom & dad are very into Asian things and brought in this Buda wall thingy and asked if I could use it at all ..

... umm... HECK YEAH!!!!!!!

The red Chinese symbols spells out the baby's name (That was my idea and thankfully they loved it!)
I'll share more as I can get to editing them .... this family was a total dream to work with!

New Products!

Yep, it just goes to prove that you CAN teach an old dog new tricks! Check these gorgeous collages out! Thankfully my kiddos were willing models for this series :)

I will start offering these soon as high-end gallery wraps and let me tell ya, they are just stunning in person! If you would like to have one of these made from your photo session don't hesitate to contact the photographer today!

The studio is almost ready!

Yes, I am taking some time out of my busy time to re-vamp my in-home studio ... and let me tell ya, IT ROCKS! Plus, as a fun way to celebrate the new studio I'll be hosting a very special contest soon. The folks that are registered to receive my blog posting notifications will get first crack at this great contest ... subscribe today if you want to see what's coming soon! You'll be sorry if you don't!

Holy COW!!!

I have been trying soooo hard to get identical pics of my kids for soooooooooooo long now! But every time I try to get them to do it, one chooses to not cooperate!

This time I was sneaky ... I placed a sticker of a smiley face up on the wall behind me and asked the kids to look at it .... and VOILA!!!!!

I'm so happy with these that I think I'll order me a new Gina bag with one on each side!
