Anyways, this girl has the most amazing skin and eyes! So naturally I got alot of close ups of her.

Here's a few sneak peeks Karina, enjoy!

What fun!!

Last night was our Ladies Night Out Limited Edition. We had a few cancellations but the ones who showed up really had fun I think. Their portraits turned out beautiful! We had a wonderful hair & makeup artist available and she was wonderful! She is from Urban Eve Salon in Lake Jackson, and I highly recommend you checking them out if you aren't familiar with them already. Jennifer & Jason Culverhouse have brought a wonderful urban experience to our community.

Anyways, though the Limited Edition session is over it's not too late for you ladies to schedule a private session for yourself in time for Valentines Day delivery. So call to schedule your session or even more fun, schedule with a friend! 979.848.8400.

The Donna's Bored Special

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy having my studio and being able to create portraits inside no matter the weather. But I'm feeling boxed in and want to do something different. With all the rain lately, maybe I'm just getting cabin fever. So I'm ready to do something different. I want to take some small children outside. If it's rainy that's OK, bring them some rain boots, rain coat and umbrella (as long as it's not pouring), if it's nice weather lets take them downtown for some urban style portraits, or just taking them to the park and let them play for a while. I need to get out of my box!

So I'm offering a special this week only! If you have small children (age 1-10) and are available from 10am-2pm, call or email us this week and we'll give you half off an outdoor session fee and a free 8x10! BUT - You must be one of the first 5 to book your session to get the half off deal . ...


Call us at 979.848.8400 or Email us.

Brazos Mall Bridal Affair

We had a very successful day yesterday at the Mall. It was so nice meeting so many brides and seeing how excited they are about planning their special day.

The winner of our FREE engagement session is: Rikkilyn Edge!!

One thing I try to encourage every bride to do: don't skimp on your wedding photographer. Even if the cost is more than expected or want to pay, remember when the day is over, your pictures are all you will have left to remember it. When interviewing wedding photographers, make sure you see a complete wedding. Any photographer can showcase their favorite images, but you want to see a complete product so you are not disappointed.

I am offering a 15% discount off any package if you call and book your wedding by January 31. Be sure to mention you saw us at the Bridal Affair.

Sisters

Megan & Iris are sisters and get to graduate together! So they came in for their senior portraits together as well. They had me laughing the whole time . . . one is a natural poser, the other a little more reserved in front of the camera but I think we still got some beautiful shots of them.

Hope you like them, girls, and I look forward to your outdoor session.

And seniors don't forget, Spring will fly by, if you choose us to do your senior portraits call now to get on the calendar as dates fill up fast in the spring.

Happy New Year!

Well our January edition of the newsletter just went out last night. If you are not on our newsletter list go to Our Home Page and look down the page and sign up for it.

Here's a recap of our January Specials!

Attention: Women
It's time for YOU

We have set up a couple of special Ladies Night Out sessions! Sometimes a woman needs to take a little time to pamper themselves and be reminded how fun being a girl is. And these intimate portraits will make a great gift for your Valentine!

Sessions January 19 and 26. We will have a hair stylist and makeup artist on hand if you need their services

My hope for intimate portraiture is that the women of today will rediscover that beauty and sensuality can be innocent and pure. We live in a world that for too long has been dominated by our culture’s definition of beauty, and Hollywood’s twisted perversion of what true sensuality is. Our culture has corrupted and warped the way we even view ourselves with every magazine we pick up and every commercial on tv.

As a photographer, I am both honored and humbled to be a small part of God’s plan as I witness women who have never truly realized the beauty they possess see it in the images I capture. To see the tears in their eyes as they realize how truly fearfully and wonderfully they were created blesses me tremendously. It’s not all just about beauty. Beauty alone is corruptible and fleeting, but the purity and innocence of the heart and character is lasting.

My desire is that not only will I create images that capture one’s beauty, but that also reveal the character of the heart.

Call to dicuss other details of the fun session! 979.848.8400. Click Here for More Details
