Super Monday…

November 7, 2006 – 1:29 am

Today was a fun change of pace…Super Monday through the PPA, and I spent the day at Sallee Photography, soaking up inspiration and tips for designing my fine art albums.

We had a great (if not cold) time shooting on the canals of Las Colinas (Why don’t I shoot there more often? It’s gorgeous…but oh yeah…a drop straight into the not-so-crystal-clear waters. Exactly what every toddler’s mom wants to have to deal with when at a photo session!).

Images from today are on my laptop and I’m too tired to pull them off to post here (whine, whine)…it’s been a long day and I’m taking a quick break to post here before midnight.

Why?

November is NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month) – and I signed up! The challenge is to post every day this month…so even though I have nothing witty or exciting to say, here I am posting (and forcing you to read my yawn inducing entry…sorry!).

Tomorrow we do the December covers for Dallas Child and Fort Worth Child…I’m curious to see what the girls have put together for this issue. It sounds interesting!

Until tomorrow!

The weather cooperated beautifully this morning and we were able to have our park session with Claire and Carter. Seems the threatening clouds scared everyone else away, and we had the place to ourselves! This time of year is popular at the park, and other photographers seem to appear from the underbrush…so it was nice to not have to juggle locations or keep away from other people today.

Of course, that being said, just as we were finishing up another photographer arrived, and I did the high school “Hi!” wave from across the park, thinking it was my friend Diana. She didn’t wave back, because she wasn’t Diana…it was a little awkward, but not unusual for my cool self (ha!).

Anyway, enough of the high school flashback…back to Claire and Carter:

Claire is missing a few top teeth, and Carter is your typical big brother…we talked about bodily functions, and a little Claire-bird told me he has a girlfriend (or at least a girl who’s a friend, ifyaknowwhatImean). We had a ball today!

We did a few variations on your basic leaf-throwing theme, and at the end I had them chuck handfuls of leaves right at me and my camera. Really fun idea, until I just now (three hours later) felt something scratchy down my shirt…and pulled out a leaf! My daughter said “Mommy! Dere’s a WEAF down yo’h shuht”. Try explaining that to your kids!

I have a feeling I’ll be digging out little pieces of the park all day long!

Busy day today, with three sessions and an auction!

We started with Gage and his family, and once again this little guy continues to light up the room with his ready smile and big blue eyes! His last session was 6 weeks ago, and this time his Daddy got to be there!

His big sister Caitlin was also there to play today, and she wins the award for having the roughest day (she took her SAT before coming home to do our session). I just love her gorgeous eyelashes…there’s something here that just echoes the fact that she is graduating from high school and heading off to college soon.

Next were Joe and Caroline…aka “fast” and “speedy”!

Joe was a true sweetheart…He wants you to know he’s three, and able to leap small plants in a single bound!

Caroline had the most amazing eyes:

Covers and brothers and thread…

November 3, 2006 – 6:55 pm

oh my!

(bear with me, these three things really do connect)

The November covers of Dallas Child and Fort Worth Child magazines are out, and once again they feature gorgeous kids! Mason and Ashton were such professionals (you’d never Ashton was sick), and they have adorable covers to show for their hard work! (hey, it’s harder to be cute than you’d think!).

This morning we played with a set of brothers, Reid and Grant. Reid is scheduled for surgery next week and his mommy wanted to make sure they had some gorgeous pictures of him before the surgery. He has a special leg due to a rare genetic occurrence, and on Tuesday the doctors at Scottish Rite will give Reid a new leg. Soon he’ll be running with his friends, but until then we spent a quiet morning in his world…playing with his brother, his spools of thread, and his very favorite toys.

(little stinker had fun shooting his toy dart right at my lens…it was hysterical, and I love the gleam in his eye!)

Holiday Deadline Alert!

November 2, 2006 – 11:29 pm

Wednesday November 8th is our holiday deadline for all prints, purses, cards, gifts, and anything else Sugar related.

This applies to families who have viewed their session by today (January 1-November 2), and after this time we will not be able to guarantee delivery in time for the holidays.

Everyone else, heave a big sigh of relief and sit back and relax…we’ve got you covered! 90% of our card and print orders are in (or in the process of being finalized), so this frees us up to finalize those last few families and their sessions/orders with plenty of time!

See, last year we had a few lab mishaps, and it seems that every photographer across the US turns their holiday orders in during the last week of November/first week of December. We are smarter this year…and determined to beat the rush and do our part to deliver not only your prints, cards and gifts on time…but to give ourselves some downtime with our families!

We are also booking for 2007! It’s not too early to start thinking about spring portraits…and what makes a better present than a gift certificate for a session with Sugar Photography?
