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”….

Proud member of NAPCP and HeArts Speak…

I am so proud to have recently been accepted into two very special professional organizations.

First, the National Association of Professional Child Photographers (www.napcp.com) Their mission is “to promote and support the artistry and integrity of the most talented, creative, and professional child photographers”.   It is an honor to be accepted into such good company of talent child photographers.

Second, HeArts Speak (www.heartsspeak.org).  They are a wonderful new organization whose focus is to connect animal artists with animal rescue groups in order to use their art to help get animals adopted.  Now, you all know how crazy I am about animals.  I am super excited to get started working with this organization to help give back some of the love that I get from my two dogs every day.

Just wanted to share my excitement and pride!  You can find out more about both on their websites and they are both also on Facebook.

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!

Kai (5 years old)/Dallas Children’s Photographer

It is hard to believe that I have known Kai for 5 years.  This time, it was clear that he is no baby anymore.  This is a full fledged little boy.  I love this quiet moment though (it didn’t last for long!)…

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.

Delightful Ahni/Dallas Child Photographer

I have such a special connection with this little girl.  Her mom was someone I just felt that connection with at our first session, when she was pregnant with Ahni.  Then this sweet girl arrived and has been a delight to photograph (and spend time with) every single time since.  Our last session was a “Daddy and Me” one, so it was nice this time to work with just Ahni and Mommy.

Olivia, 5 years old

I can’t believe that Olivia just turned 5 years old.  I’ve been taking her pics since she was a baby.  I love watching these children grow.  I feel really honored by clients who return again and again…trusting me to be a part of their special memories.  It creates a really special bond between us.

This little girl is so sweet, and funny, and just plain charming.  She delights me every time.
