Autumn Colors

This sweet family of four was scheduled to participate in the October 3rd Mini-Sessions but had to reschedule because of a conflict with work. It ended up working out for the best. The weather last Saturday was beautiful (though a bit damp) and we were able to get so many wonderful images. This was my first session with an assistant, and let me tell you... I'm never photographing another family alone again! She was so helpful and really took the stress of entertaining and amusing the children off of me, and it allowed me to focus on getting the perfect image. The boys did great too and were playful and cooperative. They put up with me and my assistant for over an hour! Mom did a fabulous job coordinating outfits as well. You'll be even more impressed when I tell you that she did it all in a few days time. A cold front blew through just days before our session turning the weather from a mild 65 degrees in the morning to a brisk 48 degrees. It was all worth it!





Hahaha! I couldn't help myself. Sometimes the out-takes are too good to toss out. :D

Last Chance!

November is approaching fast, as is your last opportunity to participate in this season's mini session event. I will be photographing families on Saturday, November 7th at the SFA Arboretum from 8:00am to 11:00am. These 20 minute sessions are a great way to quickly and easily take care of both this year's holiday cards as well as some Christmas gifts, and all for only $200! In addition, this year, I'll be donating a portion of the profits made from your mini sessions to The Helping House. This school educates children who suffer from autism and other developmental delays and is located right here in Nacogdoches! This is a wonderful way to give back to our community while you scratch Christmas cards and gifts off your list.



The SFA Arboretum offers so much variety for these sessions, so you wont have to be concerned that your images will look like everyone else. Here are some samples:

Sweet Sweet Baby

This sweet little boy was such a joy to photograph. He calm and happy the entire three and a half hours I was there, and never slept a wink. His parents were so great and laid back and we were able to achieve some beautiful images. Baby C's big sister wasn't really into being photographed with the family on this particular day, but she did allow me to capture her feeding her own baby.

Careful, this one is a bit contagious. I'm yawning right now actually. :)


And one for Nana and all the Aggie fans out there.


Another newborn with great eye contact!


And of course, one of big sister.

Holiday Sessions

Oh yes, it's that time of year. The seasons are changing, there is football on TV tonight, cooler weather has arrived and we are only 7 weeks away from Thanksgiving! I'm beginning to nail down details for the November 7th MiniSessions, and I still have openings for Holiday Sessions in both October and November.

Here are a few favorites from last year:

Blog Changes

I'm not sure about you, but I simply have not been happy about the sizes of the images my blog displays. Over the next day or so you'll start to see some changes to my blog. My goal is to keep things very clean and streamlined as well as create a background that allows larger images. I may have some test posts as well. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to comment. I'm always up for suggestions.

Here is another favorite from my last session.
