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! : )

: ) 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. : )

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

Ballet Pointe Shoes.

I think every photographer has a few things that they’d just love to photograph.  One of mine has been fulfilled. : D  I love ballet shoes.  I never took ballet because I didn’t think I’d like it when I was little, but one of my best friends did.  So when Brooke (full post coming Friday) contacted me for her Senior Portraits & told me she wanted to bring her Pointe shoes, I was giddy with excitement.  Of course, we spent a lot more time photographing her with and without her shoes, but I stole a few minutes & a pair of shoes to do some shots.  And here’s my favorite.

For the next 3 weeks, I’ll share some shoe images, though I don’t guarantee they’ll be my best images.  There’s something about shoes (especially when on feet) that I seem to have trouble photographing, lol.  So, I’m going to force myself to get at least a little better.

Have a lovely Tuesday.  Enjoy the warm Spring weather. ; )
