These are so fun!

Talk about some fun enhancements to images - check theses out! They are really cool to do and looks F A N T A S T A C on metallic photo paper. For now - I'm calling them "Blends".

Meet Avery

This sweet little girl was at a recent "Home Portrait Party". She is going to have a little brother. She's in a great mood because she just got finished painting her mommy's tummy. The effect you see here is called "Grandma's Attic". It's one of my favorite enhancements...Not quite a black and white and not quite color. Just the perfect mix of both.

Breathing Room

I've had a few weekends off, and I'm so glad. Working full-time and doing photography on the side sometimes takes its toll. However, you know me, I can't sit still. This past weekend, my husband and I hosted our 1st Annual Fish Fry and Volleyball Tournament. Naturally, it rained on us - but it didn't effect the tournament. Once it stopped raining, we played. I was on the winning team - which happened to be on the muddy side of the net. My hands/wrists are so brused too!

I'm glad about a few things though - good friends and good food! I'm also very glad that I was able to get a few snapshots of the people that help me out.

Meet my team!



This is Heidi Holguin. Not only does she second shoot for me, but she's also a fun buddy to go on "photo safaris".





This is Bre Waynes. I can count on her! She's so bee-you-tee-ful and very sweet.




Here's Kyle (that's his pretty girlfriend in the back). Yes, I know, he's very handsome. He's also featured in my senior marketing material. However, he's really very helpful at shoots. We always have a great time & he's great w/putting shy clients at ease.



There's Wendy (on the left, brown shirt). Pam is in the blue shirt on the right. Wendy is such a great help - especially at big team shoots. She helps client's fill out their paperwork and keeps the money straight.

Pam doesn't work for me, but she is my hairdresser. I think she's great!!!!

Well, that's all for this week. I'm doing a portrait party this weekend and I'm really looking forward to it.

Last night, after the sun set for the evening, our dogs were acting strange. They were sitting in the middle of the backyard....staring at something. We called them, but they wouldn't move. We saw the "weird" blob looking thing, but just thought it was their squeeky toy. However, squeeky toys don't move unassisted. We walked over to it and it was the biggest frog we've ever seen. It was bigger than my foot and three times as wide. Yes, I know what you're thinking - I have small feet. However, how many size 5 frogs have you seen?

Meet Bode

Introducing Bode. He's the newest member of the family. He was born at the tail-end of March and is as sweet as he can be!

Meet Zach

Introducing Zach! We had a great time at the Arboretum. No rain this time, and just enough cloud cover. Zach plays hockey & is quite good! I asked him if he likes to watch hockey, but he actually would rather play.
We probably spent a good 2 hours walking around the park. It was pretty busy with the Dallas Blooms going on, but most people were very considerate about not walking into the shots. In fact, an elderly woman actually stopped me from shooting and wanted to take a picture of me with Zach.
Congratulations Zach!

Meet Scott

This is Scott - Class of 2006. He's so polite and I was so impressed that he's an Eagle Scout. Congratulations Scott!!!

Meet Rita

A Bee-you-tee-ful senior taken at the Dallas Arboretum last Saturday (April 1). It rained on us, but we didn't let that "dampen" our spirits. We just rolled with it baby!
