We're on the front cover!

Hi all, well what a fun Mother's Day surprise for me to find that we made the front cover of the Round Rocker Leader Newspaper this Saturday! Debbie Fowler (Seton MC William's L&D Clinical Manager) and I were interviewed earlier in the week about the new photography program I put together for the hospital. Today at HEB my husband grabbed a copy and said )across the check out line) "you're on the cover!" very fun! The article is also on their website so if you didnt see a copy, take a look, its very exciting! (except for the picture of me that looks like Im eating something sour :) he hee, now you know why I like to be behind the camera!)

What's up?

Hi all! I have been so bad about posting lately! Life has been crazy, we have had so much going on with the new "Sweet Pea Portraits" business and the studio! We take on our next hospital, Seton Medical Center Northwest, next week (May 15th!) Angie will be kicking off that location and will be out of the studio quite a bit while we get everything settled there. With that in mind, I want to welcome Chantel who will be working at the studio doing many of the jobs that Angie did from Sales to Assisting. She is great and you will love her! Will will miss having Angie around though whiles shes kicking this off, shes barely taken any time off in the last year and a half since she started so it will be wierd not having her around as much! But once we have things settled in she'll do many different things so don't worry, you'll get to see her.

WE'LL BE IN THE ROUND ROCK LEADER THIS SATURDAY! The RR Leader is doing a story on Sweet Pea Portraits and SMC Williamson and how Debbie Fowler and I put the program together, whats involved and a little about the studio. Its very fun and will have pictures of the display we have at the hospital so check it out if you get a chance. They will also run it on their website www.rrleader.com

Father's Day! Father's Day is coming up and we have a special new present just for him. Im still working on details but essentially its called "Love Letters to Dad" and is a folio with one of your images on one side and an envelope on the other. In that envelope we will have your child/children write letters to dad that we will fold up and put in there for him. If your kiddo is too little for letters you can help and sign it with a hand print or something and include a note from you telling him what a great dad he is. This would be a great tradition to start! I am finalizing sizes soon and you may come in for a session for these or use images from a past session. This is guaranteed to bring tears to the strongest mans eyes!

There is SO much more coming up. I just spent the last week at the Texas School of Professional Photography, a school I attend every year for a week and studies with 2 amazing photographers who take the word "art" to a whole new level. I am excited to see how their styles impact me and the new products that will come from so many great ideas they shared! "Love Letters" is the first (how about using them for a maternity image to a new dad, your picture for an anniversary...ideas are endless!). "Love Stories" are next...just WAIT till you find out what THIS is!
