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.

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).

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?

Quick post today. Mostly just a visual snack. : )

Have a wonderful Tuesday!  I’ve got some fantabulous & beautiful images for Friday!

I mentioned the wonderful senior that’s a ballerina in my post on Tuesday.  And here she is!  : )  Don’t you just love her curls?

I don’t think I told her this during the session, but it must be said: Brooke, I love that necklace… oh, and that you were so wonderful to work with… yeah, that was awesome!

: )

Um, lovely peacock hairpiece… Yes!  : )

Pointe shoes!

I absolutely adore how expressive she was during our session. : )

Beautiful… just beautiful.

The sunset was gorgeous!  : )

So, tall grass, ballet shoes, back-lighting, beautiful senior… can it get any better?  : D

PS The answer is “no”… “no, it can’t get any better”… ; D

Okay, so last week’s opinions were split right down the middle… so I thought I’d try again. ; )

Well, actually I just thought it was fun to see what people voted on & why.  So if you’ll indulge me for another week, here’s another lovely image to give some opinions on:

In completely unrelated news, I thought I’d share just for funsies that my excessive tweeting about book contests has paid off.  : )  I’ve won 3 contests so far, hooray!  If you’re interested in such things, click on over to my Twitter page & poke around to find some chances to win free books (mostly YA/urban fantasy/paranormal) from nice bloggers that review books & host contests.  Although, I did use the word excessive for a reason to describe the number of tweets & maybe I should create a new Twitter account just for such things… In fact, I think that sounds like a dandy idea!

But enough of that, tell me what you think: Color or Black & White on this image?

Happy Tuesday!

As I promised, here is some beauty to enjoy:   : )

I just love her dress. : )

And, like I said last time, those eyes!  : )  So blue.

Okay, so confession: it was really really sunny that day.  Glaringly sunny.  And that means I have to think extra hard & keep my eye on harsh shadows.  But it did make some nice back-lit images & lens flare. : )

There’s a place at ACU called Jacob’s Ladder.  It was fabulous!  I’m so glad Emily told me about it.  Watch for it again in Emily’s friend Lauren’s session which will be coming up soon. : )

So I’m pretty sure the image above is my favorite close-up image. : )  The details and her smile are just wonderfully wonderful.

And, finally, I just love this last image.  : )  Her dress, shoes, pose, and the little bit of yellow stripe peeking into the image off the pavement.

Ah, senior sessions, they’re so fun!
