Hi All! Just a quick note to let you know that I have posted many costumes from my studio on Ebay for sale and I just realized that some of you may want to buy them. If you do you can save shipping by coming by and picking them up!

New Natural Light Setting
This is little Avery's 3 month session and she is just beautiful! The sun has changed in the camera room and right now we get beautiful light that comes in around 10am so we have set up an area to photograph on our newborn cart. Natural light is so beautiful and soft, it has a much different look than studio lighting and is just yummy. Look how it just wraps around all of her soft features! If you are wanting to do this, book now, who knows how long the sun will continue to give us
this gift!

Summer Offerings & Our Events Schedule thru the End of the year!
It is a HOT summer, the garden looks gorgeous but photographing in it is definitely a timing thing so if you are wanting outside pictures, we need to talk soon, by August I think it will be miserable!
Thanks to everyone who participated in our survery, its always enlightening to see how we are doing and the type of sessions you are all interested in. The great thing is that our customer service and product quality all scored in the extreme high range! Yea us! Pricing is always an issue and we are always looking for ways that we can cut costs for you, especially these days, but also run a small business which is also extremely expensive with todays economy and gas prices which effect everything we do including our prices we pay our vendors to ship to us. So know that we are aware of how hard it is for everyone and will always do our best to keep pricing where it needs to be for us all.
With that in mind, I have a special that I am announcing on the BLOG first, so those of you who have signed up have first chance at this. Im going to give a special pricing a try for a few weeks and see how it goes. Now this is going to have limited days because in order to offer it, we have to make is cost effective for us as well so what I am going to do is run a flat "Unit" price for images from sessions that we have during specific days of the week for the summer. These prices will not apply to any special events or limited editions we run, but do apply for family pictures, Baby Club & Watch Me Grow sessions. So here is goes, any sessions shot on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday have the following pricing (& schedule now, I will be out of the studio beginning next Thursday for one week hosting a Childrens Photographer Conference here in Austin so sessions are limited):
New Sessions:
Std: $65 unit
WMG: $60 Unit
BC: $55 Unit
Take $15 off all 11x14s
10% off all Wall portraits 16x20 & Larger
What is a Unit? It is the same pose printed on a sheet (ie. 1-8x10, 2-5x7s, 2-5x5s, or 2-4x6s, )
You can not mix poses within the unit, each unit must be one pose, but each one can have a different pose.
Wall Portraits: Save 15% on all wall portraits 16x20 and larger.
ReOrders: Save 20% on all re orders a previous session! Save 25% on wall portrait from a previous session!
File Sale: Well our best of intentions on image file storage has not come to pass yet, its so time intensive that we have not had time to go thru and purge sessions SO you win! We are offering a mega sale on image files from 2007 & 2008. $150 buys you all of your images (Previous sessions only) Thats a $100 savings from our normal pricing for files!
Limited Editions & Events Coming Soon! Watch your emails because we are about to send out our calendar of events from now until the end of the year!

Summer Hours & Info
Hi there, wow has summer hit us HARD, I can't believe its already soo hot! The good news is that the garden's are gorgeous, the bad news is its hot as heck during the day so if you are interested in an outdoor session, you'll need to plan ahead so that we can schedule an appropriate time which is fairly early in the morning or late in the evening. Morning appointments should be around 9am and evenings around 5:30. The evening appointments are limited and there is an additional $25 charge for evening appointments mainly because I have to pay someone to stay and assist me and that means overtime :) 9am appointments do not have any additional charge at this time.
This week we are also starting summer hours for shooting. Our normal open hours for shooting and consultations will be 10-1pm Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday. I will also have some limited Friday hours and of course we are still open one Saturday a month but those times are filling fast so if you need a Saturday please call now and schedule. We have our Saturdays scheduled through the end of the year.
Thanks all, I hope you are having a wonderful summer so far!

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!
