New Line of Photo Bags & Purses
We still have and love our original line of photo bags, purses & backpacks. Which by the way, now comes with Prada leather rather than Italian leather!
But we've found a less expensive bag for those of you who still want to showcase your childrens beautiful portraits but want an option under $100.
This is one from the new line. It's the Everyday Bag and it's $95 ($15 extra for a different image on the other side). It has a suede-like finish on the bag and you can choose several different colors for the inside material. A very cute bag!
Please remember if you are thinking of one of these for a gift (and Christmas is right around the corner!) please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery.

Contest #7 - More New Places
I've had so much fun going to new places with new clients! I just drive around town or down the highway and see an old wall or a dirt road or a half torn down barn that a "normal" person would think is old and junky, but it's really the perfect background!
Now I'm going to YOU to find some more New Places. If you know of a great location that would make great portraits send me an email about what makes this place unique or why it would make a great location. Including a snapshot would be great too. If your location is chosen, YOU will get to be our Fresh Face, New Place and receive a complimentary session at your location.
Location must be public property or you must have permission to use it. No trespassing please :) |

Model Volunteer Needed
To stay on top of the latest trends and products in the photography world I network with lots of other photographers around the country and around the world. I'm part of a South East Texas group of photographers. We meet every couple of months and bounce ideas off each other, share things we've learned, what works for us etc.
We are having a meeting August 4 and are planning to do some outdoors sessions. I'm looking for 3 or 4 models who would be willing to go to Houston at 10am. There will 15-25 of some very talented photographers at the meeting all trying new techniques, posing, lighting etc.
We need kids, little ones, older ones, teenage ones etc. Or if you would like a family session, engagement session or bridal session and can't really afford a formal one-on-one session with a professional photographer, this might be for you. Realize we are trying new things and ideas here and we're not charging you for it, so don't expect this to be guaranteed like a normal session.
But it will be fun! I guarantee THAT! You will feel like a movie star! |
