Posting out of order…these little newborns don’t wait around for mini session brouhaha ;)

Sydney + Lexi {dallas children’s photographer}

I have so many mini sessions to post, and have been shooting since Saturday as well, that I’m not sure what order I should put these in (and want to spread the love around a bit!)

So let’s just start with the girls that I have photographed the longest…Sydney and Lexi. Through a move to California and back to Texas, they have stayed Sugar girls and I love their parents dearly for that. It’s been such a joy watching them grow, and as big as they get, they also don’t really change. Their eyes, that hair, those grins….they are the same year after year.

This year they brought their grandparents to watch our session, and HOW MUCH did I love that Grandma had her purse with her? I wish I had thought to snap a photo of the girls with it, but I was too distracted by the guy strolling by in just his speedo, talking on his cell phone. CLASSIC.

I think we’ll leave Speedo Man off this year’s Christmas card ;)

DON’T FORGET-The Sugar Raffle ends Saturday! Donations are arriving in my inbox constantly, and it is just SO MUCH FUN to see. It’s like Christmas, all day long :) Keep it up!

Feeling lucky?

Every year my family walks (or in last year’s case, RUNS (and tries not to pass out or throw up)) to help raise money for my very favorite children’s charity. If you don’t know about Heroes for Children, please, take a minute and read about the amazing work they do helping families with children battling cancer on a daily basis.

I try to give what I can, and have posted here asking Sugar fans to donate a time or two as well.

This year, inspiration struck.

This year, I want to give more than I am able…but what I CAN give is a session.

So here are the deets on the first ever (and likely, ANNUAL) Sugar Raffle:

For every $10 donated, you are entered to win a Sugar session and $500 print credit (Total value-$750). Enter as many times as you want between now and 8am Saturday (when the 5K kicks off), and for every $10 your name goes into the hat. Donations can me made directly through the HFC donation page.

ActiveGiving.com will email you a receipt, and you’ll forward that to me so I know a) that you entered, and b) how many times to put your name in the hat. info@sugar-photography.com (to make it easy, make sure your donation is made in $10 increments…no fair confusing me with $15 ;) )

And when I say ‘put your name in the hat’, I literally mean that I will write your name on a slip of paper, toss it into a hat, and one of my kids will draw your name (I know, I’m high tech like that).

We’ll draw the name and post the winner Saturday around noon, after we are home from the walk and have made sure that alllll the entries are in.

The session will be for up to 4 people, at the location of your choice (within a 20 mile radius of DFW is all I ask, unless you toss in a plane ticket and then I am ALL YOURS), and can take place WHENEVER (though we typically stop shooting mid-november and give the camera a chance to stop smoking after all those holiday sessions).

Oh! And if you’re wanting some great holiday cards, this is the PERFECT OPPORTUNITY!

So you give what you can, and I’ll give you my Sugariest session in return, and HFC will meet their goal of raising $50,000 on Saturday. And if you’re looking for something fun to do on Saturday with your kids, come out! My kids cheered last night when I reminded them that The Walk is this saturday. They loooove ‘Hewoes for Childwen’ events, and I guarantee your family will, too.

XO!

HUGE HUGE THANKS! Donations are rolling in, and are WAY above that $10 mark. You guys make me smile, THANK YOU!

Sasha was our first to donate, and also asked her corporation match it, which doubled her chances. Thought I’d pass that little hint along ;)

It’s that time again!

disclaimer: We posted this on Facebook for our fans yesterday (we *heart* our fans!) and within minutes had 4 sessions booked. There are just a few left!

It’s my very favorite time of year-I love seeing familiar faces and making new friends, too. Hope to see you there!

the details are the same as previous years: up to 4 subjects (more are welcome, but there’s a small fee), $500 minimum print order is still required, and we throw in the thrilled grandparents for free (THEY LOVE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THEIR GRANDKIDS!) ;)

Lyla + Gannon {Highland Park, Dallas Children’s Photographer}

Gannon and Lyla are another of our slew of annual regulars (I just *LOVE* this time of year! All of my favorite little peeps, another year older, a few more missing teeth, and lots more of their cool new tricks to show me!).

So in case you didn’t hear…SUGAR IS BOOKING HOLIDAY SESSIONS!!! (mini session deets coming soon! To get first dibs, make sure you’re a Sugar fan on Facebook!)

*ahem*

Public service announcement is now over…on to the eye candy ;)

AS I WAS SAYING…Gannon and Lyla are another of our slew of annual regulars, and this year their amazingly smart mommy is sending out ‘we moved’ cards along with their holiday cards. How’s THIS for a great front image:

Highland Park Homeboy…at your service (love this kid)

Dainty Lyla…this girl can pose with the best of them! She apparently practiced, a LOT, before I arrived. I love kids that are this confident in front of the camera…it’s rare, but such a treat:

And one just for laughs…we do the silly stuff first, then get the good stuff for Mom and Dad. But this one is just too cute not to share:
