Friday Favorites

I just had an idea…scary, I know!  But, I was going through some old sessions and I decided I want to start doing something fun on my blog on Fridays.  I always try and post the session images on the blog that I think will be my client’s favorites…the ones that really seem like what they were hoping to get out of our session, where they look the best, everyone in the frame, etc.  Which is great, and I love these images, too, but this means that usually, my personal favorites never see the light of day.

So, starting today, I’m going to post one image every friday from a past session that really speaks to me.  Odds are, it was not the client’s favorite and it probably posesses some inherent flaw that makes it a tad quirky.  Probably said quirk is what sent my heart a pattering in the first place, though, because it makes the image REAL.  Making ART out of REAL is what inspires me,  so let me share my inspirations with you.  It will be entertaining, if nothing else.  :)

So, it will go like this…Friday morning I will post the image with a title.  It will stay up over the weekend and on Monday I will explain why exactly I am so in love with that particular image.  Oh, and I’d love to hear your comments, as well.  I think this could really be a fun project!

So, let’s get this started!  First up for Friday Favorites…

A Special Kind of Holiday Mini Session

This morning’s mini session was a bit different for me and I had a blast!   Jeff and Julie are expecting their first baby in February and wanted holiday cards to let everyone know about this big event in their near future.   Julie is positively radiant as the mommy-to-be.  I loved her precious “baby girl” t-shirt.  Jeff was such a good sport and I can tell already he’s going to be a fabulous daddy to this little girl…and she’s going to have him wrapped around that little baby finger!

Thank you guys for such a fun morning!  I can’t wait to meet the little one!  Enjoy your sneak peek!

A Whole Lot to Love!

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing the 3 most adorable boys today in Dallas.  Let’s call them Sirs A, C, and G.  A and C are 7 month old twins and G is the 2 year old biggie brother.  Wow!  These guys will keep you on your toes!  They were so sweet, though, and just a dream to photograph.  I promised mom a sneak peek tonight…so just one…but I’ll post a couple more tomorrow.  I’m just plum worn out!

Family Portrait Session

I got the pleasure of photographing some of my all time favorite people last night!  They’ve been in their new house just a couple months now, so it was so fun scoping out all the cool new places to shoot.   J and D definitely gave me a run for my money, but I think the it was worth the effort, don’t you?!

CLP Holiday Update

Greetings blog readers! :)    Just wanted to touch base with everyone and fill you in on how the holiday availability is looking.  We are all but filled up!  I’ve actually got a spot available this Wednesday, October 29th and one available November 12th and then we are booked until 2009.  I can’t wait to meet everyone for their sessions and see what precious images we get of your families!  Thank you to all my holiday clients for chosing CLP to document your holiday memories this year!

I’ll leave you with some more images from the pumpkin patch last weekend.  This place is the coolest pumpkin patch around, and I’m hesitant to even share it’s name and location as I feel like it’s our own special place in our own backyard.  It’s the Pumpkin Express in Argyle and it’s awesome!   For five bucks each, you get a long train ride all around the patch, bounce houses, see-saws, hay mazes, wagon rides, a baby pumpkin and a lolli-pop!  Now that’s good family entertainment!
