Dance Yourself Silly

Heeeelllllllllllloooooo friends! I feel like I haven't been blogging in forever...probably b/c I haven't! I've had the pleasure of watching my neice for the past 4 days and I talked her into a photo shoot. I think you all will be amazed to see the photos when you find out that this photo shoot lasted all of 8 minutes at the max! After I took the first 3 shots of her she said, "Are we done now Brannie?" She cracks me up constantly and she is wearing my shoes in the photos and that was her addition to her outfit...and I love it!

Hippity Hop!

Last weekend I headed down to Gruene, Texas to meet one of my favorite little families...The Sandahls. Their little girl is growing so fast and she is absolutely adorable at 9 months. It was an Easter photo shoot and mom brought along all her cute, fuzzy Easter friends. It turned out to be an EGGS-ellent shoot!

We Are Back From Vegas!

Our trip to Vegas for WPPI was a huge success! I had a great time showing LeRoy around the WPPI conference and he even went to a couple of classes with me. The only class he was interested in was the "Celebrate Sexy" class on Boudoir photography...go figure! Men...gotta love em'! I sailed through my presentation multiple times and met a lot of great people there. Hopefully, something I said will inspire them in their own business. I love going to that tradeshow b/c there are so many cool products I can't soak everything in. Here's a few shots from the Pounds Booth.

5 Days Till WPPI in Las Vegas!!!

I can't believe WPPI is here already again. This is a great convention for photographers from all over the world. Last year was my first year to attend and I had an absolute blast. I believe they said there was approximately 12,000 photographers there. I'm excited to go back this year and I'll be presenting in Pounds Labs booth #627 so come on by and say hi!

My Gal Pal Tammy

I took some new photos of my friend Tammy this week. After her recent break up, I thought we needed to get her out there for a fun photo shoot. She is an awesome model and so photogenic so I always love photographing her. Who doesn't love a good photoshoot to boost their spirit?. I hope she'll find her dream guy soon who will love her to death for the sweet, sweet person that she is!!!

Snow Day

The snow did come but it was just a little uneventful down by my house so the mini sessions didn't happen. I think if I lived up north or out in the hill country these would've happened with out a doubt. I thank everyone who was interested and we'll just keep this idea on the back burner so maybe we can do this again in about 5 years. :) The excitement of the kids was so cute. I really enjoyed their enthusiasm playing in the bits of snow.

IF it snows on Tuesday, THEN there will be mini sessions

Hey everyone,
I thought it would make for some super cute photos of the kids frolicking in the snow if it actually happens tomorrow. I've put together some spontaneous mini sessions IF it snows. They will be short 20 minute sessions and have the kids wear some bright mittens, hats & scarves.

The One & Only Inspirational DeeAnn

Do you ever feel like you should be doing more with your life? Sometimes I think I should be doing more to help the world out. I LOVE my job as a photographer but there are times that I think I should be doing more meaningful photography work with the talents God has given me (I don't know what that would be though). I'm often reminded frequently by my clients that they will cherish their photos forever and I'm then reminded that my photography does serve a purpose.
I recently got a phone call from DeeAnn who wanted to do one of my "It's A Girl Thing" packages where you get hair and make up done. You see, DeeAnn is currently fighting breast cancer and is in chemo and radiation treatments. She lost her husband 4 years ago to cancer and is raising two wonderful boys on her own. Her sister has come to live with them for awhile and help her however needed. When she called me, she let me know that she has no hair, eyelashes or eyebrows and really wanted some professional help. Also, she just wanted her sister to be able to be pampered and have some fun, too. Brian (my stylist) and I offered them a day of fun and relaxation. After Brian finished DeeAnn's hair and make up and we were on our way to the country for our photoshoot, DeeAnn let me know that she felt absolutely wonderful about the way she looked. This made my heart smile and reminded me that I am doing something truly meaningful and I love it.
