Spring Update

March 26, 2011

I’m still here!  But I’m here with a new baby and a crazy schedule, so don’t expect too many new blog posts.  I am shooting again just in time for the late Senior season so I hope to share a session or two within the next few weeks.

I’m currently taking limited appointments in the Victoria area, and won’t be doing any big spring promos this year — I have seen some bluebonnets (even a couple of patches in fairly kid-safe areas!) but I don’t expect them to be around for much longer, so if you are interested in trying for Easter/Spring/wildflower portraits, please email me asap through the Portfolio Site.  I’m also working on updating the site (you will notice there are only two senior portraits from the hundreds in my archives) as time permits, so keep an eye out for some newer work soon.

Until I have some “free” time for the Internet again, here’s a shot of Baby Caleb.  He’s 4 months old now and is changing so much every day.  We looked through some old pictures of the bigger kids the other day, and it was a sweet reminder of how portraits can help preserve memories.  :)

Georgie

September 30, 2008

Miss Georgie is another of our 2009 high school seniors, and while she’s a local New Braunfels girl, she goes to school out of state.  She was in town last week on a college scouting trip and came in for some senior portraits, because her yearbook deadline is quickly approaching!  She wanted an “outdoor” look that was a little more rustic, so we started shooting early and visited several of our beautifull downtown locations.  Georgie is very into fashion and would someday like to be in the fashion industry, which I think sounds like a lot of fun.  :)   I hope you have a great senior year, Georgie!  I had a great time meeting you and I hope you have a fantastic school year.

NBHS Homecoming

September 2, 2008

Mark your calendars: this year we will be open for portraits before the New Braunfels High School Homecoming Dance on October 11th.  You’ve spent a lot of time (and money) finding the perfect outfit — don’t settle for snapshots out in the front yard!  Save this moment in time with some quick and beautiful keepsake portraits at the studio.  The dance starts at 8, so our downtown loft studio will be open from 4-7 so you can drop in, have a snack, hang out with friends, and have your portraits done before you go to dinner or to the dance.  We’ll have a great set that is way more modern and stylish than anything you’ll find at the school or at other studios in town.

Samples coming soon!

Lindsay's Slideshow

August 7, 2008

I finally found a way to make YouTube love me. I hope. ;) Here you go Lindsay!

More of Lindsay

August 6, 2008

Thank you, Lindsay-with-an-A and Mardi, for coming in today! Here are more portraits of Lindsay for you all. She is a beautiful girl, and in so many ways. She is sweet and funny and thinks she might want to go to culinary school, which I think sounds really cool. Whatever you decide on, Lindsay, I know you will be a great success. Thanks for choosing me to help you celebrate your senior year! I really enjoyed getting to know you and your family.

PS — I have a YouTube video for you too, but YouTube is not letting me upload tonight.

Sneak Peek for Lindsey

July 31, 2008

Lindsey is a 2009 Senior at Reagan HS in San Antonio, and she came in earlier this week for her senior portraits.  I had such a great time with her and her parents and we shot a ton of really beautiful portraits.  Lindsey and family: I can’t wait for you to see them all!  But here are just a couple to tide you over till next week.

Thanks!  And I never did ask if it was Lindsey-with-an-e or Lindsay-with-an-a.  ;)

This is my second year working with the New Braunfels High School Monoceras and Mystics dance teams, and it’s always such a great experience for me as a photographer. They are so organized, and sweet, and they’re always always ready for picture day. These girls are really creative with their poses for the individual pictures we do in the spring, and it’s so much fun to see what they’ve come up with. This morning, we did the group shot for their new squad. They had to go back to practice afterwards, but we got the squad pictures and button shots done in record time because they were so prepared. Thanks, ladies, for always being so easy to work with! And thanks, Kellie, for directing such a great group of girls.

Weekend Update

July 12, 2008

I can’t believe we’re almost half-way through July! This summer is flying by. A couple of quick updates:

The Circle of Friends promotion ends on Tuesday! If you have a list for me, please get it to me before close of business on the 15th. We have had many clients participate in this and I want to say THANK YOU to all of you for sharing my work with your friends! If you have emailed me to send a list or to book your gift session, I have replied to you!

We are still in search of 2009 Senior Models! We have to finish shooting these sessions by the time school starts, so if you are interested I need your info NOW. Email me at info at shelbylane.net for more information on the program.

Our coppertone Golden Child portraits from our new Masterpiece Collection will only be available for another two weeks or so! If you would like to bring your child in for one of these heirloom portrait sessions, please get with me right away to book your session. I will be announcing our next Series in August.

Check the blog next week for info about our upcoming Mini-Sessions! I have some really adorable and fun new sets that we’re launching in August and September, and then we’ll have our very popular Charity Sessions again in October and November.

And last but not least, NBHS Monoceras: don’t forget that your squad and button pictures are on Tuesday morning!

I hope you all enjoy your weekend! I’ll be back in the studio on Tuesday! Here’s a song to take with you for the weekend — one of my current favorites.

It's that time of year again!  We are looking for 2009 Senior Models!  Our models will represent the studio at their schools, and can earn cash and prizes by referring their friends.  Our model sessions will take place over the summer before school starts, so I need to get your applications in ASAP.  If you or someone you know are a New Braunfels, Canyon, Smithson Valley, Seguin, San Marcos, Wimberly, Judson or Reagan senior and you would like more information about our model search, please email me or call the studio — we are ALWAYS closed Sunday and Monday but will be back in the studio on Tuesday afternoon.

In the meantime, check out our new Senior site at shelbylane.net — click on the right hand image and see what we have to offer for the class of 2009.  As always, we will be taking a limited number of seniors this year, so if you want the most unique, magazine-style senior portraits in the area give us a call or shoot us an email so we can schedule your consultation.  ALL SENIOR PORTRAIT SESSIONS ARE HALF PRICE when booked in the month of June (scheduled to complete in June and July 2008). 

For those of you who follow the blog and have been emailing me about “POST SOMETHING” here I am!  We have been so busy over the past month… and then Spring Break hit, so Abbey went on vacation and then Good Friday and Easter came and went.  So it has been a crazy couple of weeks with a weird schedule.  I want to make sure everyone knows that the studio will be closed till next Tuesday afternoon because I will be on the road.

I have unofficially announced the beach session dates.  And this is where we’ll see who REALLY reads the blog.  Mark your calendars for June 20-22 on Mustang Island.  I can only take a max of SIX sessions and we already have one booked.  I will make a “real” blog post about it next week but if you are super serious about wanting beach sessions, shoot me an email and I will get back to you when I get back into the office.

And now the best reason for tonight’s post.  I got to photograph a really wonderful high school senior girl and I know she and her mom are dying for some sneak peeks.  So here you go, Taylor and Mary.  Taylor, it was great working with you!  I can’t wait for you to see the rest of these.  Thank you!
