New Portrait Site will be up soon

Wow! I had no idea how many people wanted to take advantage of our free portait shoots! It's full now, and the shoots have been going glowingly thank goodness!
Thanks to everyone who wanted to participate. Hopefully we all benefited. I learned lots about toddlers, and the participants got shots they will love for a lifetime.

So as of now, the free family shoots have to come to an end. I have gone way over my target of 10. Actually it's more like 30, but hey, I just love working with families.

I don't want to worry all you wonderful people still on the books who haven't been shot yet. We are still going to do it. And hopefully you are going to love it.

I'll post the new family portrait gallery soon, and the pricing for such services as soon as I catch up a little around here. Like I said, the response for the free portraits was much more than I expected. I'm still playing catch up!

Half way there on 2009!

Just in case I have any blog watchers who know that they want to use us for their wedding, but haven't yet booked........there has been a huge influx in the last two weeks of 2009 bookings. In fact, we are halfway to our 2009 limit.
Please check in soon to see if your date is still available. And if it is, and you need to meet with us, you probably need to do it very soon. If this trend keeps up, we should be booked fully for 2009 by the end of December 2008.

Andie's Bridals

How huge are this girls eyes? She is soooooo pretty. We did her bridals at the Thistle Hill Mansion, and I have to say I was captivated with her amazing eyes and smiles. Her man, is one lucky man indeed.

We shot their wedding last night, and all the details will follow soon. What a beautiful couple! S0 much in love......

Stefanie is a treasure. She’s one of those amazing brides who knows what she wants out of life, and she’s not afraid to take it.
Dwayne, is much the same way. He’s a go-getter. Together….Watch out World!
Not to say they don’t have their “softy sides”. They do. Both of them. Stefanie is a school teacher, and to watch her around children is amazing. Dwayne has a natural and genuine love for almost everyone. And the biggest, sweetest smile you’ve ever seen.
Two great people.
They got married at the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, which is mind blowing in it’s beauty. You are instantly met with the aroma of sandalwood incense, and the magnificent murals.
As is custom in a Greek Orthodox Wedding, the bride and groom are crowned three times, and walk around the altar three times as well before they are officially married.
Beautiful chants and songs ring out through the cathedral.
Guests also enjoyed the grounds for the reception venue. The dessert menu featured every delicacy a person could ever want. Stefanie and Dwayne had a really cool idea for a guest book as well. They had guests sign bottles of wine, which they would later enjoy at various anniversaries.
Hurricane Ivan didn’t stop them during their big get away featuring streamers.
You’ll see more of the two of them soon, as I’m going to be doing some boudoir stuff for Stefanie, and some family picks for the two of them.
Congratulations Stefanie and Dwayne!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chelsea, Mack, and Jack....a day at the park

One of our all time favorite wedding couples (families actually), took advantage of our all new portrait services. It was a JOY to see them all again. We hooked up at the Dallas Arboretum, where little Jack was promised a trip to the zoo if he smiled big for the camera. (He got his trip to the zoo, btw....he was a little angel). We took some photos for the Grandparents for Halloween, and snuck in a few non pumpkin shots for Christmas cards and gifts for the family. We also found out that Chelsea, a newspaper reporter and photographer, has set off on her own course of professional, non newspaper, form of photography. She showed me some boudoir shots that she took that were awesome! You go girl!
