Baby Rhett, who isn’t much of a baby anymore is about to turn one! It’s hard to believe, the year has flown by and I’m so happy to be able to capture him many times throughout his first year. Here are just a few of my favorites, I’ll be putting more up on my website soon! With a newborn photo I took for comparision…

Elyse I!
Congrats Elyse, you have won a free session and $300 credit redeemable towards anything I offer. Thanks to all those who participated in the survey, it is truly a BIG help!
I was very excited to draw a name and had a fun time taking some photos of it! Enjoy!

I really enjoyed taking photos of this sweet baby girl on Saturday. These were just a few of many of my favorites!

I’ve decided to come up with a drawing that will hopefully be worthwhile to all involved. I’m conducting an anonymous survey which will be open till March 1, 2009 for the gift certificate drawing. The only requirement is you must be in the Austin, San Antonio and Hill Country area, which I will be waiving the travel fee for in the drawing. From all the entries I will put all the names in a bowl and draw one out. I will announce the winner on March 2, 2009. Here is what you may win!
Free portrait session $100 value
$300 credit towards anything you would like to purchase.
*The gift certificate will be given to winner and must be redeemed by March 31, 2010
To keep this anonymous, once you submit the form, located here, you will get to a page that will ask you to send me an email with your contact info., etc. (and a super-special secret code you wouldn’t want to give out to your friends!)
I’m so excited to show this sample off! I’m planning on getting more samples soon, but for now, here is what I’ve got. This particular book was designed from a template I had bought a while back. I had so much fun doing it though, I’d like to try and design my own and maybe even sell them to other photographers someday! Anyway, this book is 10″x10″ with a leather cover, comes in this color blue, pink, lavender, red, teal, hydrangea(blue), kiwi(green), camel, red, chocolate, espresso, black and white. This book has 10 pages/20 sides and can be customized to your liking!

I took some maternity photos on Sunday and I’ve been so busy I haven’t had a chance to look at them until now. I put together a few photos for a sneak peek. I had a lot of fun doing these and I can’t wait to sit down and do the finishing touches on these!

I’m a little behind on sharing my recent sessions, I’m wanting to start doing sneak peeks, so I wanted to show off some of my recent sessions to catch up. Here is baby Rhett, who won’t be a baby much longer! I took these back at the end of Nov. Isn’t he just the best for the camera? I love it!

I’m not quite sure how to announce the winner of my Giving is Awesome give-away. I only received two entries and both have a great need to have portraits taken of their families which otherwise wouldn’t be a possibility for them. I chose Lynn, for the $1,000 gift and Carmen I chose to give a $500 gift. I appreciate everyone for coming to my blog and seeing if they knew of anyone in need of such a gift. I’m so very happy to help these deserving people with my services and can’t wait to do this again next year. Thanks! Kristen
