Oh my goodness!  Will winter ever end?!  I’m doing my best to show it the door by posting our spring mini sessions a bit early this year!  They were officially announced in our winter newsletter last month and have had an amazing response!  (It must be the unanimous desire to make it springtime soon!)  So, now it’s time to let those of you who are not on the mailing list get in on the mini session action. (want to get on the mailing list?  email me (courtney@courtneyleighphotography.com) and you will be in the know, too!)img_2546d.jpgPlease keep in mind that the mini sessions are limited edition and all sessions must be booked by the end of March.  Also, these are the last mini sessions we will be offering this year.  So, if you’ve been wanting to get your feet wet with custom photography, but keep putting it off, now is the time to jump!Why are these the last mini sessions of the year, you ask?  Well, I have some big surprises about Courtney Leigh Photography coming soon that I am over the moon to announce.  Stay tuned to the blog to hear the latest (or email me and get on our mailing list and I’ll give you some hints!)Now, for some inspiration…a few from last year’s Spring Minis…blogspringpromo1-1.jpgimg_8703.jpgimg_9103-2.jpgblogspmin2-2.jpgStay toasty!

{little miss m} Dallas Fort Worth Lifestyle Baby Photographer – Courtney Leigh Photography

It never ceases to amaze me how much growth can occur between the newborn and three month session.  It’s absoulutely incredible.  In 90 days they change from dormant bundles of cuteness to alert and attentive bundels of cuteness.  The cuteness doesn’t change much!

 Last week I had my last baby planners of 2009 stop by for a visit.  It was so great to see them again and get to chat about their first Christmas as a new family.  So many firsts that first year! 

 As this is the last session of 2009, we will be officially closed from now until January 14th.  All emails and calls will be returned when we return on the 14th.  Thank you for your patience and we at CLP wish everyone a wonderful holiday and new year.  Even though we’re officially closed for business, I will be posting some holiday images from time to time, so be sure and check back on us!

 And, here they are, the official final images from 2009…the precious Miss M!

{playtime!} Dallas Fort Worth Children’s Photographer – Courtney Leigh Photography

I always tell my clients to think of a session with Courtney Leigh Photography more like “playtime” than “picturetime” and this week’s session fit that bill perfectly!  I had so much fun with this set of brothers and sister and their parents.  We visited one of my favorite spots to shoot…it’s a little overgrown and you have to tiptoe a bit, but it makes for amazing session images!  We just let Big Brother and Sister A & R and their little brother, F play and laugh and run and it all made for some amazing images!blog110509-1bwb.jpgseal-100-201.jpgblog110509-3b.jpgseal-100-12b.jpg

{Holiday Updates} Dallas Fort Worth Childhood Photographer – Courtney Leigh Photography

Where, oh where has this year gone?  It can’t possibly really actually be October 1st.  But, with the days are getting shorter and my calendar is getting fuller and fuller it indeed must be! 

I wanted to update booking status for holiday sessions.  Mini Sessions are completely filled except for the 8:30 and 9am spots!  I am looking forward to seeing everyone on the 10th.  I love how mini sessions bring such a mix of new and past clients!

 Standard sessions (which, remember, include a set of 24 holiday cards during October) are quickly filling up, so if you are wanting a session for the holidays, it’s best to contact me earlier rather than later… I want to be able to fit everyone in!   My first spot available is the week of October 25th.  Our official deadlines for timely holiday arrival of orders is as follows:

Last Session Date:  November 7

Last Order Date: November 20th

Our office holidays are: 

Thanksgiving: November 23rd – 29th

Chirstmas/New Year: December 16th – January 8th  (with the exception of our newborns). 

 During holidays, you can still reach us via phone or email.  Leave a message and we’ll get right back to you!

And, for further proof that it is, indeed, October, a conspicuous box arrived on our doorstep this week.

{Sharing a Session Album} Dallas Fort Worth Lifestyle Photographer – Courtney Leigh Photography

I just finished assembling this fantastic session album and loved it so much that I had to snap a few images to share on the blog.  This client chose to upgrade to the acrylic cover option with olive linen , and I’m so glad they did!  It turned out fantastic, wouldn’t you agree?
