Dallas Children's Photographer, Dallas child photography: Sneak Peek, Look who's 2!

I had the pleasure of meeting sweet Caroline and her family this fall for their holiday photos. It always thrill me when clients contact me again--not just because it means they liked my work, but also because I get to see how much their children have grown! And, Caroline has grown! She's an "on-the-go" 2-year-old now and loves to dig in the dirt and play in the rocks. We had a hard time keeping her adorable smocked dresses clean. :) Thankfully, we also had stickers and jelly beans and we stole a few smiles and pensive gazes from this precious, cherub of a girl! It was a beautiful day at the Dallas Arboretum today and the flowers are out in full bloom! If you've been thinking about a Spring session, this place makes a great backdrop. I've still got a few mini-session spots available this month and next (as well as a few spots for full sessions too).

Enjoy your sneak peek, L family! Thanks for a beautiful morning!

Dallas newborn photographer, Dallas family photographer: Sneak Peek, Stella

Meet beautiful baby Stella--plump, pink, and right at 4 weeks new. I had the pleasure of hanging out with this lovely family (and their gorgeous Golden Retriever, Sarge) this afternoon for a few hours. 4 weeks can be a tricky age to shoot because they don't sleep *quite* as much as a newborn (ridiculous, isn't it that in the "photog world", newborns are 2 weeks of age and under!). But, with the help of Daddy's magic rocking technique, we got some great sleepy baby shots as well as some bright eyed shots. So sweet! Enjoy your sneak peek, Jeff and Maggie! Thanks for welcoming me into your home.

Dallas photographer, Dallas children's photographer: MARCH MADNESS!!!

Exactly 1 month ago, that pesky groundhog predicted we'd have 6 more weeks of Winter. And, it HAS been cold...I mean, just a few weeks ago we had a FOOT of snow on the ground. Insane. But, today was an absolutely picture perfect day--the kind where I wish I could spend all afternoon outside with my family and my camera (who am I kidding...my camera IS part of my family).

So, it's time for a March Madness sale. Book a session this month (can be for any date in the future) and receive $100 off*. That means a simple session is $175 with a $125 print credit** and a modern session is $550 with all the goodies too! For more information on my sessions, click HERE and go to the "pricing" section.

*not valid on Spring mini sessions
**print credit is only valid if order is placed within 5 days

Dallas Children's Photographer, Dallas Family Photographer: 1/52

I started a new little project this year. 52 weeks of 2010. The goal? To shoot for me. To be more creative. To capture memories for my own family. To think outside the box.

I love what I do--love meeting other families, capturing their children in the moment, just getting a glimpse of someone else's life for an hour or 2. I love the feeling I get when I see an image that I KNOW Mama and Daddy are going to flip over. But, I've realized that *I* rarely have those moments for myself. I just get busy with life sometimes and my camera (that's normally glued to my body) is left in its case, thus missing moments around La Casa de Clark.

So here it is. 1 of 52. Even though it was a brisk 29 degrees this afternoon, I bundled up Gracie and took her out back to jump in the leaves. Yes, leaves in January. Leaves that probably fell in October. Hey--don't judge! They're in the backyard. ;)

Enjoy! Hopefully, 51 more to follow. ;)

Holiday Cards 2009!

Check out my website (link at the top), click on clients and the password is holiday. Lots of choices this year, including a couple of folded options too. All text, fonts, and colors are customizable.

Oh, and a quick announcement--I goofed on holiday mini session dates. I'm running my 2nd half marathon on November 15th in San Antonio, so November 14th is out. I am rescheduling that mini-session date for the following Saturday--November 21st and due to popular demand, sessions will be held at Lakeside Park instead. If interested, contact me ASAP!

Dallas Photographer: Announcements!

I am so excited! SOOOO excited! Next week, I will be unveiling a brand spanking new website! Okay, maybe not *brand new*, but it's going to look different and I always love to change things up. Along with the site's new do, I'll be unveiling a new price structure for Fall 2009. It will include some new digital packages in addition to "the basics". A little sumthin' for everyone! In the interest of fairness to all clients, sessions booked and paid for before July 15, 2009 will receive current rates. New pricing will take effect July 16, 2009. Keep your eyes peeled for the new look at Kristie Clark Photography!
