More Holiday Card samples!

We have so many different styles of Holiday and Christmas cards to offer for "Holiday in the Park." Here are some of the other styles and some of Kellie's work. Thank you Kellie for letting me post them!

We still have both morning and afternoon appointments available, so call or email ASAP to reserve your time slot!

Look at these gorgeous little ones! Sneak Peek!

I had so much fun photographing these beautiful kids. When I arrived at their home, I could hear the oldest saying "It's Miss Sunshine! It's Miss Sunshine!" I instantly knew it was going to be a great time!

They all had the most amazing eyes!

Look at this perfect little angel. She was so so precious.



This handsome little man is also a FRESH FACES winner! Congrats Mr F.



And Mr. C. He looked SO handsome in this hat. He was so sweet.



Thanks for letting me come hang out with you guys! And thanks, Mr. F for helping me carry my things to the car! :)

Sneak Peek! Fresh Faces winners. :)

Oh. My. Goodness.

These 2 could not have been any cuter! I had a GREAT time photographing them. Mr. N is 3.5 and Miss M is 5. They were perfectly adorable! Those eyes! That skin! Those curls! I could go on and on. :)

Just for Kenneth. :) Tagged again.

Ha! Well, another talented photographer Kenneth Deboe has tagged me! Kenneth is such a great guy that he deserves his own post, so even though I have posted my 8 things, I am posting 8 more. Just cuz!

1. I get sea sick and car sick (if I am not driving).
2. I love David Lynch and love *almost* everything he has ever done. I had a chance to see him and a do a Q&A in Dallas on his new movie Inland Empire and missed it! I was devastated (not really, but close!).
3. I do not eat beef, pork or chicken.
4. We have a beta fish named Eddeddekka. Yes, you read that right. My daughter named "her."
5. I am left-handed, which is supposed to mean I am creative or something. :)
6. I am part of a "trio" of high-school best friends. One of them was murdered when she was only 20. The other is still my dearest friend and I love her and feel she is beyond "best friend" status and is now just "family." Love you Jen!
7. My favorite lenses to shoot with are primes. The 85mm is workhorse lens.
8. My childhood dream was to be a ballerina and to eventually teach and run my own studio.

I am tagging (I will try to add more later).

Holiday Portraits in the Park!

I am so excited! My friend and fellow photographer Kellie Friedman will be joining me to offer a limited number of Holiday Portrait sessions this year.

We have created specially priced packages with beautiful, custom designed Christmas and Holiday cards. Need a gift idea for grandparents? We are also offering slideshows, albums and more!

The cards we are offering this year are absolutely beautiful. We have several designs to choose from. I am sure you will find one you love!

The sessions will be quick and painless, approx. 20 minutes each, and will take place at beautiful Lakeside Park on October 6th.

If you would like more information, or would like to schedule a session, please email me a sunshine@abeautifullight.com.

Here is just a small sample of the cards available. Aren't they fantastic!?

I have been TAGGED. :)

Oh my goodness. I am gonna have to post about ME today. My very talented photographer friend Jodi Getz tagged me on her blog.

I love that she calls it "old people tag!" Haha! No running involved.

Okay, so 8 things you don't know about me.

1. I love reality TV. I particularly love MTV's reality TV (Real World, The Hills, Laguna Beach. Yes, all that super cheesy, mindless reality TV!). I am also an avid Big Brother watcher in the summer.

2. I regret never having photographed my father with my children. I do not have any pictures of him with my daughter and only pictures of him with my sons when they are itty bitty (they were 10 and 14 when he died). People, if you own cameras, TAKE PICTURES of your children with their parents (you!) and their grandparents often. Don't worry about the right light, the right clothes, the right location. Take snapshots. They matter more than you can imagine in the big scheme of things. :)

3. My house is never clean enough. With 3 kids it seems impossible to keep my house clean for longer than an hour. I am a neat freak so this stresses me out on a daily basis. :)

4. I feel guilty for driving a V-8 SUV. Every time I go somewhere I think about how much I am polluting the environment! I need to make a change but it is hard with a large family (I know, excuses, excuses!).

5. I do NOT like ice cream! I know, weird, right? Very *very* occasionally, I will have some crazy concoction from Cold Stone Creamery, but I have never been able to eat the whole thing.

6. I am married to the most supportive, positive person I have ever known. I consider myself very blessed to have a built-in cheerleader, motivator, mediator and advisor who asks nothing at all of me. He even does his own laundry!

7. I have a Starbucks everyday. No exceptions. A Venti Sugar-Free Vanilla Non-fat Latte.

8. I think if people are thinking of getting a pet, they should check the local shelters first. There are so many good dogs and cats out there that need a good home. I have a shelter dog and she is the smartest, best dog I know! :)

Now, it is my turn to tag someone! Or 8 some one's!

Beautiful Children

There was so much beauty and joy in this family. This little guy just could not stop smiling! He was so happy and joyful. And also very strong! I got to see his Power Ranger moves in full swing! ;)

His sister was a beauty. So serene and peaceful with gorgeous bright eyes. They braved the Texas heat and the Texas mosquitoes and I am so glad they did. I had a lot of fun with you two!
