Fall Sessions in Longview????

It's official! Labor Day has come and gone and fall clothing lines are OUT!!!! Everywhere!

Any interest from Longview-ites for some fall photo shoots this year? I will be in Longview the weekend of September 17-19 and have availability. I also am considering a weekend in October. Please spread the word and email me if you are interested. I got to photograph so many neat families last year.

Remember, if you are wanting to use images from your fall session for some custom designed Christmas cards, or have the prints/products in hand by Christmas, the cut off date is November 28th.

Every post is more fun with a photo, so here are a couple of the Real Life Letters Designs I've been working on recently. Great gift items! Both shown are the 5x15 panoramic size. Here's how they look framed in a 10x20 with a custom cut mat.





And lastly, there is something *NEW* in the works for Photo Jewels. Stay tuned! :)

Little Lucy

This little sweetie is the daughter of an old friend of mine from Longview. We had so much fun with her last week in the studio. She is so happy, wiggly, and smiley and just turned ONE last week, too! Good thing her grandma came to help because she does not stay in one place for long!

They have been living in San Diego since her daddy is in the military. But, since he just began a 6 month assignment away, Lucy and her mom came back to live with her parents in Longview for a little while. Worked out perfectly to do this session!

I am so excited the weather appears to be cooling off (although in Texas that could totally be a farse). Milder weather = more photo shoots outside!

Anyway, after you see this post, you will understand why it took me a little longer than normal to post it. Ummm, HUGE! Really tough when you have so many to work with!
