Levi {Frisco Family Photographer}

February 28, 2010 – 8:05 pm

Levi was a dream subject… laughed at all my silly moves, looked directly at my camera, loved all my fun hats… and didn’t mind changing his clothes outside (despite the frigid temps)!  We did a FULL session– like three-outfit-changes kind of session– in 35 minutes flat!  Most two year olds will give me about 45-60 minutes before they have had it– so we were rolling along hoping to maximize the “happy” time!  We pulled out the lollipop just for fun (not as a bribe like it is usually used as!)… he looked at it, licked it and then slammed it down on the ground.  And didn’t cry!!!  What a trooper!  I hope his mom & dad enjoy this preview– I had a fun time with you all!

ENJOY:

My original quads…

January 27, 2010 – 11:28 am

(Now that I’ve photographed three sets of quads–phew!)… I can’t just call them “the quads”… so here is my first set.  Mama wanted pics of them in the same sweaters we photographed them in for their 1st birthday (they just turned two!)… so we did those and then did a quick Valentine’s Day photo.  We had one unwilling participant, but still managed to get a few shots!  :)  Here is one of my favorites…. can you tell which one wasn’t having it!  :)

ENJOY:

Valentine’s Day Mini-Minis…

January 25, 2010 – 8:17 pm

Today was so much fun!!!  These short little sessions (15 minutes) went off without a hitch…. besides some lollipop drool and some reluctant kids who really needed a little more time to warm up to a stranger in their face with a big ole camera… but that’s ok!  We got some awesome images anyway!  I’ll put up one from each session (and hope your husbands don’t look!)  I told everyone 5-10 images in their final gallery, but I think they will probably get more because there were too many to narrow it down!  Some seriously gorgeous kids came through today… loved it all!

If you missed out on today and are interested, please email me.  I’m thinking about doing another one next week, but am not 100% sure.  Thanks!

ENJOY:

The best of 2009….CONTEST!!!

January 7, 2010 – 4:43 pm

UPDATE:  The voting system is not perfect… so if you get on to vote and it says you have already voted (this is happening for people who are in the same network), then please leave a comment below as to who you are voting for and I will add them in at the end!  Thanks– sorry about that!!!

I am sure many of you remember this contest from last year!  I have picked some of my favorite pictures from the past year– and will post them below for you to vote on!  Please feel free to share this with your friend and family because whoever has the most votes by January 16th will win.  And… this year the prize is even better!

1st prize:  FREE session with me anytime during 2010!  (plus an 16X20 of the winning image)

2nd prize:  Free 16X20 of their image

3rd prize:  Free 11X14 of their image

To vote,  just use the voting system at the bottom.  Please only vote once per every 12 hours… I can tell.  Actually, the new system won’t let you!  :)

PS:  If I didn’t pick a picture of your family, don’t worry– I still think you’re cute!  And to be fair… I did not pick ANY pictures of children I knew before I started my photography business.  So don’t send me hate-mail!  :)

More cute kids (and cute cards)….

December 22, 2009 – 2:57 pm

Hello!  I’m trying to get as many of these cards up here as I can, but honestly— I can’t remember what I’ve already posted and I’m struggling to find time to check!  :)  So… if you want your card posted, please email me and I’ll get it up… and If I already posted these, I’m sorry!  :)

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas….

December 17, 2009 – 3:20 pm

Yikes!!  I guess I better go shopping!  Luckily, I have not because this little guy has changed his santa request about 5 times.  We started off with a train (easy enough), then went to football helmet and pads (my worst nightmare– football freaks me out), then we moved on to yellow cake (which is the only thing they asked santa for last year), then to an ELF costume (what?)… and finally today we landed on TOW-TRUCK.  I think I can handle that… and he might get one or two more things too since he’s been a very good boy!  :)

PS… I am officially on vacation.  I’ll be returning emails/calls, but probably not immediately!  Thanks for an awesome 2009!!!!  Look for the “Best of 2009″ contest sometime after the 1st of the year.  Those who won last year were very happy!  :)

Here is one of my little guy waiting to see Santa at the mall!  ENJOY:
