Hello my bloggy friends. : )  I have a little news… about my blog.  If you follow me frequently, you’ve noticed that my posts haven’t been up at the same regularity as before. Well, that’s only going to get worse… sorry. : ( I’m suspending Tuesday posts for now & may no longer be able to update every week.  Don’t worry, I won’t abandon you completely, just a post a bit less often.

This is due to my recently acquiring an awesome job at Cattilac Style as a T-shirt Designer/Graphic Artist.  *Throws confetti in the Air*  I’m very excited about this opportunity!

Of course, I’m still open for business.  Especially senior pictures… Seniors of 2011, you are thinking about your Senior pictures early, right? : ) It’s best to get them done by December or January so you can get all the extras, announcements, etc. you want & not have any concern with getting your stuff on time.

Now, of course, an image for the day:

Yes, I’m posting a little less, but I’m still around. Email me if you’re interested in a session & we’ll work out the details.

Happy Tuesday to all!

Last bluebonnet post. : )

Hope you haven’t missed me too much the last few days (okay, weeks) but things have been hectic.  Hopefully I can get back into the swing of blogging before too long.

Enjoy the last bluebonnet!

As some of you may have noticed, I missed last Friday’s post. This Friday maybe a repeat of that. My apologies in advance. Life is sure busy here. : )

Otherwise, we’re still in the bluebonnet theme for Tuesdays. Here’s a more detailed shot than the others I’ve shown here so far. If you look closely, you can even see some of the wildlife (aka bugs) that live around bluebonnets.

I love bluebonnets. : ) I don’t think I could have a prettier state flower (well, unless I could have a daisy or sunflower… but I shouldn’t admit it, being a born and bred Texan).

Happy Tuesday! : )

Another shot of those bluebonnets in the cemetery.

It’s bluebonnet time in Texas. : )  They started blooming probably 3 weeks ago… I’ve always been a bluebonnet fan, yes, partially due to Texas pride, but also just because they’re so pretty.

There’s a lovely field of flowers in Hatchel Cemetery.  The juxtaposition of tombstones & the lovely flowers (including blue bonnets, those pink flowers you can see in the image, sunflowers, irises, and more) is both beautiful and solemn.

I’ll be posting more blue bonnet/flower images that I took in that cemetery over the next few weeks.

Happy Tuesday!

PS Thank you, Uncle Jeff, for telling me about it & how to get there! : )

Haley is graduating from Winters HS. She’s involved in Softball, Cheerleading… and I might have heard the rumor she made ACU’s cheerleading team for next year. : )

With no further babble from me, enjoy the images!  There are a few more than usual because I just couldn’t choose.  Does anyone else think that happens alot?

Our first meeting ended with a nice downpour, so we used the opportunity to shoot with an umbrella then decided when to reschedule for another day.  Sometimes it just happens… but we got some cute pictures! ; )

The sky was gorgeous both times I met with her.  When it actually rains, it’s a problem, but when it’s just thinking about rain, you get the loveliness of these sessions.

We found a tall field of wheat… hay?… either way it was very green & very perfect for Haley’s images. Don’t her blonde hair & blue eyes just jump out of the image?

If you want to see more, I uploaded quite a few from this session to flickr… sometimes I let my flickr “presence” slack since I’d rather post on my blog, but I was feeling in a flickr mood lately, so click over for more.  I know I would. : )

Haley: The photo shoot(s) were so much fun!  Thanks for being so full of ideas & up for anything!  (And thanks to your mom for driving us around, lol).

: ) Final shoes post. And in Black & White.

These shoes are actually mine & a favorite pair I got recently.  I’ve already worn them often enough for there to be little scuffs on the toes (you can’t see it here). But they’re the most comfortable almost-flats (they have like a 1/2 inch heel) that I’ve ever owned. Anyway, most importantly, they’re cute and I <3 them. lol.

I’ve got a load of images to process, still so Happy Tuesday everyone. : )

Juan and Rosie are such a wonderful couple. You can tell how much they love each other by the little glances they steal when no one else is looking (or so it seems).  : ) I was honored to celebrate their wedding with them & help document the beautiful, personal event.

See? Love. : )

I love it when couples don’t smear the cake all over each other… It may not be as funny for the audience, but it’s so much sweeter & so I enjoy it more.

Rosie’s grandfather delighted them with a wonderful mariachi band at the reception while the guests ate & visited before all the dancing began. ; )

I just love this image. You can see how very happy she is.

Now for a few portraits. : )  Rosie had the prettiest dress.  And Juan, of course, was in his blues for the ceremony & most of the reception.

And finally, my favorite close-up of the couple.  Awwww… : D

Juan & Rosie, thanks for letting me (and my husband, aka, second-shooter) celebrate with you & document your love.

Installment 3 of shoe images. : )

These are the cute boots that Desiree wore for our session. Aren’t they fabulous?

The image is pretty busy, but I think it’s balanced out by the pop of color of her boots. Plus I undoubtably love the grass & the shadows it made. : D

What do you think? Is the image busy or do you like it?

My week has gotten away from me. It’s been pretty full over here & rainy.  …So I almost forgot to make a post for you, my blog readers. To make up for it, I’m sharing these beautiful, beautiful images of Desiree.  She’s a local model.  If you’d like to contact her for some images, click here.

Now enjoy:

Texture. So, do you like textures on images or not? Sometimes I think it can be overused, but I liked it on this image. What do y’all think?

I love all of these images. But this is my favorite. When downloading my images, I knew immediately this would be my favorite… then I saw the other one a few down in the tall grass… and it’s my favorite, too. : D

Look at those lovely green eyes… I just love crisp, pretty eyes in photographs.  And hers are so reflective & hazel… wonderful!

The one above. That’s my other favorite favorite.. they’re both so different & yet so beautiful.

As you can see, we had a little more fun at the end… who doesn’t love bubbles? : )

Desiree, I had a wonderful time shooting with you!  Thanks for setting some time aside.  And the images are so beautiful, I know it was worth it. Hehe…

I hope everyone has a great weekend… I know I will! : D
