Check out these B2S Supplies!

B2S as in Back To School and can you believe all the supplies kids need now-a-days to start off the school year!?!?! It's just crazy! All of this stuff belongs to my 1st & 2nd graders and hopefully the teachers wont spring another list of needed supplies on us come Monday morning! It's times like this that I am so thankful that we only have two kids!

Whoo hoo! School is almost here!

Can you believe it!?!!? Monday is the first day of school! And yes, I can honestly say that I think I am more excited that my kids are :)

It has been a long and busy summer and I will need all the kid-free time to catch up on my processing work. I've got so many slide shows, albums and images to process that it's gonna take me an entire month just to get back up to speed.

But, with all of that in mind I am also going to use the quiet time to re-evaluate my business plan. This is something that I do every fall and every time I do think about things I begin to make some changes ... for the better I hope ;)

First and foremost I am going to dial back the amount of weddings that I take on next year. Don't get me wrong, I love working weddings but I don't enjoy all the time that it takes me away from my friends and family. Working almost 10 Saturdays in a row this summer really took a tole on me, my equipment, my family and not to mention my neglected house chores! Also, all of the time that I needed to devote to these wedding couples took me away from my devoted portrait customers. To those of you who know who you are, I am so very sorry for playing phone and email tag with ya and I have vowed to never let that happen again.

So, with all of these things in mind, by business plan is going to go through some major restructuring, re-pricing, re-scheduling and some fun re-vamping! Keep your eyes peeled and I'll be sure to let you know what is coming up soon :)

The wedding went great!

Well here it is, the Monday after Jennifer and Roberts' wedding and I'm still smiling! Everything was great and I got some killer shots! The newlyweds are off on romantic cruse and won't Be back for a week ... I am so jealous! So even though they wont get to see these pics for a week I can still share them with all of my friends here on my blog. Thanks for looking and enjoy :)

Yep, today is a day for another wedding ... Jennifer & Robert! I've been working with these two for several months now and I can honestly say that I am looking forward to tonight's wedding! These two are so laid back and relaxed ... today should be a great day! Here's a few shots from the engagement session held at the Botanical Gardens a few months back.

Introducing Robin & Michael!

These two are by far the coolest couple that I have worked with during this wedding season! Talk about a laid back pair that enjoy a laugh or two ... and their families are just as fun! The sweet wedding and reception was held entirely at the awesome Ft Sam Houston Golf Club and they could not have asked for a better place or better weather!

Here's a few of my favorite images from the engagement session, the bridal portrait and of course that day. Enjoy!


Revisiting Lauren & Beau

As promised I am back to share with you some pics from my La Cantera wedding featuring the sweet couple Lauren & Beau. There were so many great photo opps from the great details, beautiful bridesmaids and darling flower girls! In fact, I got so many great shots that I thought it would be best to share them in this simple rolling show ... Enjoy!
