Just a reminder about the block party tomorrow.  I will be there from 4-6pm doing complimentary children’s portraits, so bring them by for a petite casual session, so dress them appropriately (no character shirts, stripes, etc.- think simple!).  One complimentary desk print of each child will ready to pick up at Java & Gelati in about 2 weeks and any orders will be nicely discounted.

The location is at the southwest corner of Main @ Allen Heights in the Shoppes at Allen Heights shopping center where Java & Gelati is.
The block party lasts between 12noon- 10pm, so let your friends and family know to stop by for some great samples, art displays, my photography table, food, race car, face painting, bounce house and more.  I’ll be taking some event photos during the day some as well.  It’s going to be fun and it’s a great way to get to know some of the area businesses over that way as well as get a little sample of my work between 4-6pm.
Hope you see you there!
This sweet angel is getting used to me and the camera.  You may remember her mama from a few weeks back and baby Serena graced their world two weeks later.  I’ve had two sessions so far with her and I’m enjoying every bit of her.
Her  parents are over the moon in love with every breath she takes.



Enjoy, for now.  I’m still not through with her yet though  :)
One word: Lips.   Two words:  nose dots.  Those combined make me a sucker for newborns.  This baby had the most beautiful lips ever… perfection.
Sophia.  A beautiful, beautiful girl who delighted me with endless smiles.  I could not get enough of her when she slept, so I was happy that her parents didn’t run me out of their home after so long.  It finally stopped raining, so we went outside for a bit and the beautiful backyard was a perfect setting for those!
It was so difficult to choose some favs for the blog, but I just can’t spoil them all :)

Enjoy J & T, it was a pleasure spending the day with your little family of three. I have the best job ever!  Have I said that before?
Awesome News!! I will be providing complimentary children’s portraiture at the Shoppes at Allen Heights Block Party on Saturday May 30th. That is at the SW corner of Main @ Allen Heights in Allen.  I will be doing petite portraits from 4-6pm, first come first serve (kids only) and I’ll take several photos of each child individually.
The block party is from 12noon-10pm and there will be lots of free samples and booths from from various vendors and artists (I’ll have a table with product samples too all day). There will be a bounce house and a racecar for the kids to oogle over too!  About 2 weeks after the event, I will deliver ONE FREE beautifully bordered linen desk portrait of each child to Java & Gelati (they are sponsoring me at the event). Other images will be available to view by request and orders will be nicely discounted!!
This is a great way to get a little sample of what I have to offer if you’ve never worked with me before.  I don’t have all the details worked out yet since I’ve never offered this before, but we’ll do it casually and have a good time :)  Let your friends know and I hope to see you there.
Lastly, my new fabulous tote bag made by Caroline at Pink Lemonade Bags who did an amazzzzing job.  She designs and makes these beautiful totes, diaper bags and more right here in Allen and has her online store with a huge variety of bags ready to ship. The quality is perfect and my tote is the perfect size for my needs (I had it on all day yesterday at the Dallas World Aquarium) and I love the pockets in side to hold my things.  I even had my logo embroidered on it.
Thank you Caroline. I LOVE it and I know my readers will too !!!  :D

I spent the morning with Little Miss I today.  A very active 2 year old who loves her red shoes and was so curious about everything she saw.  It was so much fun chasing her around and getting a wide variety of shots.  She would tease me and stand still for half a second and then move on verrry fast as a typical toddler does.  I got hugs in the end and all the chasing was well worth it :)   Enjoy the peek B!


(told ya she was curious.  Love this one!)

This glowing mom-to-be is my best friend who is due to have her first baby in less than 3 weeks. It’s a girl and she’ll grace our world surrounded by eager new parents and a seriously anticipating new grandmother (who just finished painting a beautiful mural in the nursery). This baby will be heavily photographed by me when she arrives and I can’t wait to try so many new things out including some lifestyle and environmental images and share here. By the way, this was my first time shooting a maternity session and I so enjoyed it! :)

B~ I hope you feel as beautiful as you are in these photos. You’re going to be a great mom and I can’t wait to meet little S.
