Sometimes you have to give Grandma what she wants…

I love this family.  Seriously, they are the sweetest family.  I love Stacy, Derek, Jordan, Layton, Lexi, and Liam.  Heck, I even love Grandma.  And she really, really wanted a family portrait.  She told me she doesn’t have any good pics of all of them together.  Now…we all know that I like a more relaxed, informal type of portrait.  But with 7 people (4 of them adult-size, and 3 under the age of 3 and a 1/2) in my tiny studio…well, I think we all did a pretty good job!

Adorable Sydney…

Oh my gosh…the smile, those eyes, the curls, those cheeks.  I got a sugar rush just looking at this beautiful little girl.  Her whole personality shines through in her beautiful expressions.  She was a fun girl to spend a morning with!

Beautiful Katelyn and Lauren

I adore these 2 girls.  Every time that I get  to spend some time with them is special.  Here are just a couple, but I’ll be adding more in the next few days when I get a chance…

2 year old Brady

All I can say is “whew”.  I love Brady, but man…he is a force in motion.  What a busy, busy little guy.  I was so glad to have caught a moment or two of pure “Brady-ness”….

Sizzling summer specials!/Dallas Portrait Photographer

We have a couple of great specials going on right now at Shades of You.  Spaces are limited and will fill up quickly so please call or email if you would like to book a session.

First, we have our Mini Maternity Special-for all Mommies-to-Be due in August, September, or October.  Book a mini maternity session (half price/half time) and your newborn session is COMPLIMENTARY (if held within the first 2 weeks).  Yep, you heard correctly.  We know that times are tough right now and we still want our wondeful clients to have the experience of both sessions.

Second, we are having a Sliding Summer Sizzler Sale for all returning clients (you know I love ya!).  You can save up to 30% on ala carte prints for all sessions booked and held between July 10 and August 31st.  Here’s how it works:  10% off of your session fee AND your ala carte prints for each time you’ve previously been here (up to 30%).  So, if you’ve been here once you get 10% off your prints.  Twice?  You get 20% off.  Three or more?  30% off.  Please note that this is not to be used with other promotions or casting call sessions.

Finally, are you a new client?  If this is your first session, mention our blog and receive half off your session fee and a complimentary 5×7 with your portrait session.  Welcome to our little “family”.

Please call or email the studio if you are interested in booking your session.  See you soon!

Baby Zac (16 days old) and big Sis Madi (10)/Dallas Photographer

Little baby Zac was a precious as can be, and mom told me that his big sister prayed for a baby every single day for 2 years.  What a great big sister she is going to be to this little guy!

Analisa, 5 years old/Dallas Child Photography

This girl has grown so much since our session last year.  Not a baby anymore, but a joyful and happy little girl.

Mommy and Me (with Little Pete and Bridget)/Dallas Family Photography

Fun, fun, fun Mommy and Me session with a fave family–I really love these little ones.  And their Mommy made a really good point when she said that since she is always the one taking the pics, she isn’t in a lot of pics with the kids. I’m so glad that she came in for this session. These will be very special, I’m sure.

Little Miss Delicious/Dallas Baby Photography

Her cuteness just speaks for itself.  She is deliciously adorable.

Baby Harrison

Sorry for the re-post but I’ve been having major website hosting problems and this little guy got lost in the switch.  So please take another peek at this sweet boy–I didn’t want him to get lost in the shuffle!  As always, feel free to leave comments below :)
