Her Morning Elegance

This video is beautiful- take a look!

Senior Promo

Hi all- just thought you might like to check out our newest senior promo video. It features some of our favorites (so far) from the class of 2009. Enjoy!

Ice!

I looked out the window this morning and saw the trees outlined in sparkling white lines. I couldn't resist throwing on some shoes and grabbing the camera!

SPA Event Souvenirs

Imagine seeing yourself on life-sized banners, water bottles and programs at an international photographers' convention in Las Vegas. Our Hutto senior model Holli doesn't have to imagine- she experienced it first hand! We sent her comp card to SPA along with a few other images and she ended up being one of only 15 chosen in the world to model at the SPA Event. She won an all expense paid trip to Red Rock spa resort in Las Vegas and received VIP treatment while there. Here are a few pictures of some of her once-in-a-lifetime souvenirs from her trip. FYI- if you're a 2010 graduate and are photographed by us, you have the option of being entered in Senior Portrait Artists's annual contest as long as your session takes place by September 1st. Book today to make sure you'll be eligible. Next year's convention will be in sunny California!

Yandi's shoot

We found the coolest crumbling building to do Yandi's shoot in, complete with graffiti. Yandi was great to work with- a real natural in front of the camera! We really enjoyed being out in the bright sunshine and creating some cool images.

Don't Panic!

One of my favorite Christmas presents. I use it daily!

Wrestling Alligators

Did I ever tell you about the time we wrestled alligators on an engagement shoot? OK, you got me- we didn't wrestle them. But we did see four and Edith jumped about a mile in the air when I pointed one out to her a few inches from her foot. You see, Kia and Terry are way into conservation, actually Kia's degree is in line with that, and they were just dying to have their shoot in the Everglades. What is a scary, alligator-infested swamp to some people is a romantic hot spot to others. Anyway, Kia and Terry were absolutely amazing, funny and so very brave! (And not afraid to get in the water, I might add). Our best to you, guys!

Our Ribbon-Cutting

A few weeks ago, we had our official ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Hutto Chamber of Commerce. We really enjoyed showing some of our work and meeting other business people in town. Special thanks to Liz at the Chamber for all her help and support. We are thrilled to be a part of this amazing community!

Hello, Stranger

It's been a while since our last post- much too long! But so much has been going on that we'll have plenty to tell you over the next few days.

I just want to take a moment to thank all of those of you who have expressed sympathy for me and my family for the loss of my grandfather. He was a very special person who gave his family so, so much. All of your prayers and kind words were very much appreciated by all of us.

While home with my family, I was able to capture some of the small things that had a place in Grandpa's life: his junk drawer, his watch, what he saw every night as he fell asleep. These tiny details that often just sit on a shelf, unnoticed by most of the world, have the power to effortlessly bring memories to mind that may have otherwise been forgotten.

In this new year, take a moment to look carefully around you and simply remember.
