Dallas Photographer: A friendly reminder...

Tomorrow is the deadline for holiday orders. All orders should be placed by 7 pm on Saturday, December 5 to ensure their arrival before the holidays. The lab is doing everything they can to crank items out as soon as I place the order, but as the holidays approach us, it gets harder and harder. So, be safe and place your order ASAP!

Also, I will be on vacation from December 19th through January 8th. I will be offering a special Valentine's Day mini-session (for the cutest, photo valentines around) in mid-late January. Stay tuned for more details soon!

Thank you so much for an amazing year!

XOXO,
Kristie

Dallas Children's Photographer: Sneak Peek, Ran and Mads

I am blessed to have the best sister a girl could ask for. She is a loving and genuine person. She's an awesome mother. She's there when you need her and there when you don't. She is raising an absolutely darling, smart, beautiful and purely sugar sweet daughter.

She's also the goofiest photographer's assistant around. ;) As payment for her recent "act like a crazy person behind my camera for a day" routine, I did a little session with my sister and my amazing niece. Here are their sneak peeks!

Dallas Photographer: Black Friday Weekend Special

Yes, the department store "early bird specials" are long gone (and sold out, I'm sure), but I've got a little something extra up my sleeve this holiday season. Are you looking for a gift for the person who has EVERYTHING? What about a custom portraiture session? Now offering gift certificates for those hard to buy friends and family members. I am now taking session appointments for 2010 and this weekend only I have TWO amazing deals. Hurry though--this offer expires on Sunday, November 29 at 11:59 pm.

Deal #1: Buy any session in 2010 and receive 40% off your session fee (not valid on mini-sessions, discount is good for gift certificates). Discounted session must be used between January 2010 and June 2010. Sessions generally book 4-6 weeks in advance.

Deal #2: 25% off ALL fine art, gallery wrapped canvas. Perfect for previous clients looking for a true work of art for your home or family.

Dallas family photographer, Dallas children's photographer: Mini-Sessions 2009 Sneak Peeks

What a fun day! My assistant (who also happens to be the most awesome sister out there...well, except for me :D), Randi, and I had an awesome day today with 5 adorable, hilarious and entertaining families. Seriously. I love uploading and editing these mini-sessions because I always find myself laughing or smiling just remembering all of the moments from a session. Take a look for yourself! And, mini-session participants--your galleries should ALL be ready before next weekend. Woo hoo! Be on the lookout for an email from yours truly. Now, on the main attraction(s)!

Dallas photographer: Updates and Announcements

Thank you to my amazing clients. I appreciate you all referring me to your friends and family this year. I also love getting new inquiries. At this time, I am booked solid through the rest of 2009--no wiggle room whatsoever! ;) I am now taking reservations for sessions in 2010. Generally speaking, I book out 4-6 weeks in advance during the spring and summer and 8-10 weeks starting in September. Just an FYI.

I'm working like crazy to get everyone's sessions uploaded THIS week. So, if your gallery is still in the works, be looking for that email this week.

All holiday orders should be placed by December 5 to be sure they arrive before December 20. I will be on vacation from December 21-January 3.

Thanks again for an amazing 2009. Tis the season!

Dallas family photographer, Dallas baby photographer: Sneak Peek-D Family

You may remember this baby. Or not. Just a mere 4 months after this session, and the little man looks completely different! Well, he's still got the hair. :) I met up with the D Family this morning to capture their first of MANY "official" family photos. And a couple of Baby H and all his chunky monkey love! Enjoy your sneak peeks, D Family.

Dallas area photographer, McKinney children's photographer: Sneak Peek--L/S family

Whew! It's been a crazy, crazy, CRAZY few weeks. I am literally keeping the Starbucks near my house in business these days. So, it was totally fitting that I had some wild and crazy kids this morning (the good kind of wild and crazy...you know--life of the party, fun kind) AND that as their dad stopped in for some coffee this morning, one of the boys asked for coffee and to "Be sure it's decaf!" LOL! Too hysterical.

Anyway, I just adore this sweet group of kids. The baby boy was a little under the weather this morning and I'm sure we were QUITE a sight getting him to smile, but I think Nana and company will be happy with the results of our singing, dancing, and airplane flying. Enjoy your sneak peeks! More to come!
