the new calendar is up for the summer. And did I mention that I'm taking 2 weeks off to go on a fabulous anniversary trip to Greece with my honey in June?? I'd be open to some colorful mediterranean pics if anyone is headed that way!

my peeps

so I've been thinking about peeps recently.. no, not the Easter variety, but the glue of friendships that holds me together. It's always fun to be able to photograph my friends and here's a very belated smattering of my bffs and their fams.

tiffany and her gang...

blooms

just a note that I've got a few openings left for the Bloom sessions at Mercer if you're interested.
Details: April 7th and 8th. (most openings are early afternoon, but email for specifics)
Children only. 30 min sessions. $250. Cute factor = off the charts =)

and on to the pics.
here's some favorites that I haven't blogged yet. These are families with bigger kids.. no more babies, sniff, sniff. Just to show you that you families with bigger kids need pictures too. And MOMS, you need to be in them!!

canvas coupon

  well, if I'm gonna be a slacker on my blog, at least I can offer you a way to save money when I do finally appear!
Again, Winkflash has their canvases 40% off for the next week. I've got about 8 of them in my house and at these prices, you too can decorate away!
Code: Bestdeal78

Tips: Don't worry if it says the resolution isn't high enough. If I took the picture, it is! If you took it, I make no guarantees =)
So since you're here.. I might was well post some pics! The following were taken late last year in the homes of my clients. I LOVE doing these shoots and since I'm stuck at home in the cold and rain, thought it'd be apropos to showcase them now!
Surely you recognize this sweet family... the cornetts had me out to their beautiful home and I was introduced to their handsome addition.

if you see this woman, hug her for me

in case you were wondering who was gracing the blog header this month, it's none other than our favorite kindergarten teacher ever! =) ok, she was the only so far but we could not have asked for a sweeter, more loving, compassionate and eager teacher to lead our sweet boy thru his first year of "real school" last year.

So when she asked me to photograph her family, I was thrilled.
she and her honey....

I have a few spots open for Wed the 4th and will open Thursday if I fill Wednesday. If you can't make this session, I'll try and offer again later in the summer. Anything indoors will be great that time of year in houston, right?
oh, and happy belated valentine's day =)
