Aimee, Craig, and baby bump Noah

I’m so excited for Aimee and Craig.  We met just a little over a year ago when they were pregnant with baby Jonah and it was such a miracle for them.  And now, they are expecting baby Noah in just a few short weeks.  Life can really surprise you sometimes, and I’m so happy that they have had such wonderful surprises!

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!

Had a great time with this beautiful mommy to be…I really enjoyed our time together.

Just kidding about the question mark…we know that little Cooper is arriving next week and this sweet family will be back for newborn portraits.  So glad that they moved back to Texas just in time for me to capture this sweet time in their lives….again.  I remember when little Cash was right where Coop is now.

Big sister-to-be!/Dallas Pregnancy Photography

I can’t believe it, but little Miss Velvet is going to be a big sister …and soon!  This family, truly, has such a special place in my heart.  I just loved them from the very first minute we met at their pregnancy session for this little peanut.  We’ve had a wonderful time at every session since, and I can’t wait to meet the new baby.

Lovely mommy-to-be

I had such a fun time working with Christina.  Such a beautiful mommy-to-be, and not just on the outside.  And, the baby is due on my birthday!  I’m looking forward to the newborn session already!

Saying thank you..

I think, in our busy lives, we often forget to say “thank you” and we also tend to forget how much it means to hear it. I got the following letter from a client and she asked me to share it. Reading it, you will understand how it touched my heart. It only takes a moment or two to tell someone that you appreciate something. Do it. Time passes by so quickly and life goes on. But those words stay with the person forever. Thank you, Aimee, for such a beautiful and heartfelt letter.

Dear Amy -

If you will, please post the following on your website (which, btw looks great with the updates/changes you’ve made). Can’t wait to view the proofs!!:

Saying “thank you” just doesn’t convey our appreciation well enough. As you know from the history we’ve shared, the road to finally having Jonah in our life has been a very long one. Your incredible connection to us and the ability to capture all the emotion from our maternity sessions to our newborn session and I’m sure beyond, through your camera lens, is something we will be forever grateful for. Our baby is a true miracle and you have been a very special gift. Thank you doesn’t seem like enough, but we do truly thank you.

Craig, Aimee & Jonah

Aimee and Craig, Maternity session

This was such a special session.  Aimee and Craig have overcome some pretty big things, and the fact that this little baby is going to be here is quite a miracle.  I don’t want to share their private business, but I will say that I feel tremendously honored that they chose to come to me for these very special portraits.

The beautiful mother-to-be:

A beautiful moment:

We decided it would be fun to fingerpaint the belly:

And now..for the first time ever…we make public the baby’s name (with parent’s permission, of course)!

And one last one of Mommy…just ’cause I think its so pretty in color:

Aimee and Craig, I hope you like these pics! Can’t wait to see you at the proofing. And I really can’t wait for the newborn session. It is going to be awesome!

Margaret, David, and Mattias…plus one

When we did family portraits back in November with Margaret, David, Mattias and thier dog I never expected that 6 months later we’d be back in the studio doing portraits for a new arrival!

Congratulations to the whole family!

Where’s the baby?

A sweet moment for Mommy and Daddy:
