I'm back! {and Easter session info}

February 20, 2008

I am finally back and (almost) caught up after my trip to Idaho.  I got to meet some really amazing photographers and got to photograph some really cute kids.  It was a wonderful trip but I was so busy that I feel like I need a vacation now.  ;)   I think I am caught up on email so if you have not heard from me and are expecting to, please let me know.

In other news… yes, to answer all the questions I’ve gotten in the past few days, we ARE going to do an Easter special this year.  Like last year, it will be a special set, more like the way we structure our Winter White sessions.  Our theme will be "The Secret Garden" and spaces will be VERY limited.  Look for details early next week when my brain has had time to rest a little.

And lastly, I am working with a fantastic retail partner on another spring promotion.  I can’t give specifics until we have finished ironing them out but I hope to have info on that for you all within a few days as well.

PS — I realize I am behind (again) on blogging sessions.  As soon as I get the sessions proofed from Idaho I will put up some new sweet Texas kids for you all.

Tasha and Bella: Project Pink

February 6, 2008

My new friend, the lovely and talented Miss Tasha, and her sweet and adorable baby Bella came in for a portrait session during our White Sale and we had a great time getting to know one another.  Bella was SO well-behaved for a puppy!  And Tasha and I hit it off immediately.  I love it when you meet someone and instantly know that you will be friends.  She is a strong and confident and beautiful woman and I am so thankful that we got to meet and chat.  We WILL manage to get together for coffee someday, Tasha.

This session ties in with our Project Pink mission for 2008.  I would love to see more women have their portraits made.  We have so few professional images of ourselves that are really about US — not about the wedding gown, or the new life we’re carrying, or about our place in our family, even though those are important as well.  But there was a time when women had portraits made ALONE.  ;)   And those were the heirlooms they passed on to their grandchildren.  How many of you have portraits of your grandmothers or great grandmothers that you cherish?  If you’re like me, you’ll look around and realize that the photographic record of YOU consists of snapshots that maybe don’t show you at your best.  Our goal with Project Pink is to capture the true spirit of the women who come to our studio.  Their strength.  Their independence.  Their kind and gentle nature.  We want to create images that make you look and feel your absolute best while still looking like YOU. 

I know that we all want to lose those extra 20 pounds or want to let our hair grow or whatever.  But we can work with wardrobe and lighting to make you look your best.  And I know that the idea of being in front of a camera is not always comfortable.  But I promise, you will get here and have a lot of fun.  Get two or three or four friends together and make it a party — for Project Pink sessions, the more people you bring, the lower your personal session fees are.  But I really feel that beautiful portraits of YOU are a great gift, not just for your loved ones (now and in the future) but also for yourselves.
