Looking for models!

I have been asked by a national frame company (seen in many well known chain stores) to provide them with images to use in their frames in the stores. There are some "looks" I need to photograph so if you fit into this category, please email me along with a snap shot if you have one. (or a really good description!)

1. Family - darker hair (not blond) for inside studio shots. up to 4 people

2. Teens - early 20s girls - primarily looking for darker hair (not light blond), athletic build or "fit" (not muscly necessarily), not too trendy of a hair style or color (no neon hair).

3. Girls 4-10 yrs old, siblings ok darker hair (not light blond)

Must be willing to travel to Liberty Hill for shoots, late afternoon around 4-5ish. Compensation is in session and prints NOT financial, please email if you are interested and we will discuss specifics. sppjen@aol.com

In Search Bluebonnets! Save 50% off your session fee!

In search of bluebonnets! I dont do the side of the road, too dangerous and distracting so what I am looking for is a large area of flowers off the beaten path, from Round Rock north, not on private property...know a spot? Could save you 50% off your session fee! Email Jen at sppjen@aol.com..you get 50% off your session fee and the first session spot if you want it.

last ones




a Few more
















New pictures from Liberty Hill...TWICE the fun













Had another great afternoon shoot on monday with the cutest twins! They were so adorable and had so much fun watching them be amazed by the horses behind us (I included a snapshot of them meeting the "doddies". Their Spring outfits were so sweet but I was so glad when mom showed me the red and white outfits, they were so great by the barn!

Ok Just a few more posts from Liberty Hill




More images from Liberty Hill
















Had to show off a few more!

First images from Liberty Hill
















We had So much fun at this session, there were many "firsts" here. It was the first session at the new location in Liberty Hill, the first time my daughter, Cassidy, assisted me (all of my kiddos have worked at the studio at some point, Dan, my oldest still does!), and almost the first day of Spring! We shot around 4:30 in the afternoon and had a blast, this little cutie pie totally mad a liar out of me...that being the fact I have always stayed away from photographing toddlers and babies this late in the day..well she was a trooper and smiled right until she left! What a great way to Christen the new location! Many of these images have "effects" added to them, some being very "artsy" and definitely not for everyone, but I had to play!
Thanks to Miss "A" and mommy for putting up with my mega session!










Here are some images, I'll probably do 2 posts on this to show off different locations.
