In lieu of the upcoming holiday season I’m announcing my Fall Mini-Photo Sessions!

Dates:

Saturday, September 25th
Sunday, September 26th
Saturday, October 9th
Sunday, October 10th

Location: The Woodlands/Spring area (Specific location TBA)

Cost: $75  Due to a limited amount of space, payment will be due upon booking.

How does a mini session differ from a full session?

Full sessions last anywhere from 60-90 minutes and take place at a location of your choice.  Mini sessions are conducted at a specific location and are 30 minutes in length.

How do I sign up for a mini session?

We started a little later than we had originally planned, but I think we still managed to get some great shots!

I’m going to let you in on a little secret…I’m not a patient person.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m pretty patient when it comes to other people, but when it comes to me and what I want for myself?  I want what I want now.  Quite honestly, that has been the hardest part of this whole process for me.  Essentially, I’m building a new business from the ground up.  The saying goes, “Rome wasn’t built in a day.”  But that doesn’t stop me from wanting to build Rome in a day.  I’m struggling with this concept.  And I’m struggling with waiting and being patient.  It is so not my strong suit.

So what’s the point of this post?  Why the heck am I sharing some of my innermost thoughts on the web.  Thoughts that I might not want everyone to know. Well, simply put, I don’t want to hide who I am.  And I don’t want to pretend that I’m someone I’m not.  Most of all, I want to be able to look back one day, read this and know that it all turned out alright.

This photo was taken on my plane ride home from my Caribbean Cruise Adventure.

Don’t forget to be on the lookout for Lindsay at the Texans game this weekend!

We started out near The Strand.

I’m not sure what it is about these next few (the color, location, expressions), but they are some of my favorites from the session.  I just love the feel of them…fun and lighthearted.

I think I snapped this next one right after I told Lindsay to act like it’s a perfectly normal thing to do to sit on top of this.  Nothing weird about it at all, right?

Then we headed down to the seawall where this magic happened.

Seriously, I was loving the light that day.

I could have shot here all day, or at least for another thirty minutes or so.  We wanted to, but beach patrol came by and ran us off which was super lame if you ask me.  We’re not ones for arguing so we left.  I’ll leave you with this last one.

Lindsay, thanks for being AWESOME!  I hope you find at least a few that you fell in love with!

Boy do I have to hand it to dog photographers!  Maybe it’s because I’m only used to shooting Harley (who is used to somewhat listening to me), but this was tougher than I thought!  I really had to work to get Otto to focus on me and not chase his ball or sniff under every single rock!  :)   All in all, I think I managed alright.

Here’s Otto…up close and personal.

I think the way he curls his tongue up is so stinkin’ cute!

I’m pretty sure he’s smiling at me here…

And of course I just had to take a few of Harley also, although I’m not quite sure what she’s doing with her body here.

At the end I wanted to get a picture of both Otto and Harley together, but they were just too smart for me!  These two played tag team!  Once I got one to sit and stay the other would get up and vice-versa.  Cross my heart, I think they were doing it on purpose.  :)   I think these next two capture that story quite well.
