Hi all, we have been so busy that its been hard to make sure I keep the BLOG up to date, but I had to do a quick post and thank all of my clients for your support and business this year. It is a wonderful thing to be able to do what you love and its because of my clients that this is possible. THANK YOU!!
I wanted to let everyone know who hasn't heard that Cory was in an unfortunate accident last week and fell and broke her hip. Shes had to have hip replacement surgery and will be out for many weeks relearning to get around with her new hip. Of course this has been a huge impact on the studio especially at this time of year so please bear with us during the next few weeks as we get along without her. Keri has really stepped up and been a huge help And with her, Dan & I in the studio, we are working hard to keep everything moving as it should. Thank you ahead of time for your patience!!
With all of this going on, I will have to cut back some on my photography availability until we can get her back in and working again so please contact us well ahead of time for sessions as session time will be limited and priority given to my current clients (we have essentially stopped taking many new clients right now so we can service, with excellence, the ones we have).
I think that is it for now. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a joyful, peaceful New Year!!

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!
