More contacts

I'm always looking for new clients and more people working from home while staying with their kids. Here are some blogs and other businesses from TwitterMoms if you are looking for someone other than a photographer.

Family Photos





So, we were going to take family photos of a wife, husband, and 2 beautiful children. Our plan was to walk to the lake close to their house. Unfortunately, it rained. Our plan B was to take some photos using the backdrops set up in their home. However, their house was so beautiful and had so many great photo opportunities. We were able to take some outside under their covered porch, inside on the stairs, in the play room, on the couch, and using their wood floors to showcase their 11 month old crawling. During breaks in the rain we got some outside shots on their swing and other places. That's a fun part of photography. You can have a plan, but with 2 children on a rainey day, you never know what you'll get. The photos came out well and the family looked fantastic in their matching outfits!

Burning down the house




































So, I was getting my batteries charged for a shoot and the charger started smoking. My husband quickly unplugged it. It appears that the cord split and exposed wires. Thank goodness we were in the same room or the house could have burnt down. I guess it's time for a new battery.


Also, I have a few more pics of Abigial. I don't want to overload the blog with pics of my daughter, but people are shouting for more! At your request, I will post them here for easy viewing.

Valentines Photos






So I got to take pictures of my favorite subject - my daughter, Abigail. She was not cooperating however and dad stepped in to see what he could do. Luckily he was just wearing a white T-shirt and fit into the picture beautifully. As they played, I took a few shots. I love the ones of them together! The pictures really show how much they love each other. I know they will be greatly cherished by this daddy's girl when she gets older.

Purity Ceremony

Yesterday I got an opportunity to shoot a purity service at a church in Katy. It was rather cool to see the students and their families committing to each other. The students vowed to be sexually abstinent until marriage and the parents vowed to be open to talk about things even if they were uncomfortable. What a great bond to love your parents and your children that much. It's a very cool promise for your spouse as well. I'd love to share some pics, but I did not get any release forms signed. It was really fun to shoot all the families though. There was lots of love and excitement among the families.
