What a colorful Halloween!!

Just had to put one of the family (including my parents) from tonight.  We set up the tripod and took this shot before we headed out for a big neighborhood bash and then some trick-or-treating.  My kids won the costume contest for their age group!  :)  So… I guess all the work was worth it!?

Happy Halloween… from my two little pumpkins…

And tomorrow… I’ll put up pictures of their very colorful Halloween costumes!  :)  I went a tad overboard this year– and it took me about 10 hours too long to make!  :)

New “Victorian” cards…

I have finally finished putting together all of my holiday card options.  If you are having holiday photos taken with me and are going to need cards, please go to my website and under “client proofs” type the password “Christmas” to see them all.  Most colors, fonts, words, layouts can be modified slightly.  Here are some new favorites (just showing front of cards):

Favorite new spot…

I had mini-sessions this past weekend in a new spot.  A friend of mine (thanks, Donna!) sent me a few of her favorite places to take pictures, so I checked this one out and loved it.  I might be changing my last holiday mini-session to this location as well because it was so much easier than the canals in Las Colinas— plus, there were not tons of people to try to get away from (including other photographers).

So… we had a perfect day just before the rain clouds rolled in– and some of these are new favorites.  One of the moms who I had done pictures for last year said, “What a difference a year makes”… and that was true for a lot of these kids!  SO much easier.  Maybe it is their age– or maybe know me now and are not afraid of my camera…. regardless, it was a blast!  (This may take a long time to load because I put up so many images at once!)

More holiday previews…

Since I know I won’t have time to give everyone their own post… here are a few previews from mini-sessions last weekend.  I hope to post some from this weekend soon!  Loved seeing all those kids in their fall clothes– and so nice that the weather was perfect last weekend and this for these sessions!

Holiday Sessions Begin….

And they are in FULL FORCE.  Despite sick kids everywhere and horrible, rainy weather– I’ve managed to have about 10 already!  This weekend is a busy one for me too– so I appreciate all the patience from everyone waiting for a preview.  Here is one (and many more to come!)  You all met little T when she was about a week old…. look how big she is now and still as cute as before!  I love how they put together their outfits for their short session… it all worked out perfectly!

Presley {7 weeks old}

This little princess was adorable…. at 7 weeks old, newborn sessions are a challenge– but we made it work!  She was loving some of my soft blankets…. and we got her to sleep a few times between feedings and also got some cute open-eyed shots.  She is a doll and her mama is equally as beautiful.  Happy 2-month Birthday today!  :)

ENJOY:  (PS… for my mini-session people who are waiting for a preview… it is coming– I promise!)

Fall “playdate” session!

This is something fairly new that I’ve been doing– getting a bunch of friends together and taking pictures of all their kids in a two hour time-frame.  It’s pretty fun– and very chill.  The kids just play and rotate who is taking pictures– and then we try to get a group shot at the end.  If you are interested, please email me with what days/times your playgroup usually meets, or if you are flexible, which days will work for you and I can tell you what I have available.  I’m booking into late January/early February right now– but I have some indoor, fun ideas (especially for younger babies– like 3-8 months).

**The hostess of the Playdate (i.e. the person who sets it up) pays no session fee and gets some free prints… so hurry and set it up before your friends do!  :)**

Here are some of the cuties from the Arboretum:
