A Sweet New Baby 
This little boy is brand new, and so adorable. He slept through most of the session! Mommy, Daddy, Grandma & Auntie were super-sweet, too. Thank you for a lovely afternoon. Your boy is an absolute doll, and I hope you like the pictures!

Sorry for the language, if it offends you...but I just think this is perfect!

A break 
I'm not going to write much, today. Life's been a whirlwind, lately. I'm enjoying stepping away from it all to photograph little cuties like Syd. Even the editing is a nice little escape.

Today's green tip: download the song 3 R's, by Jack Johnson. It's on the Curious George soundtrack. Play it for your kids. Learn the words & sing along. Live it.

Color Me Crazy 
All day long I've wanted nothing more than to climb into bed, or under my desk, or into a kitchen cabinet, and fall asleep. I'm exhausted. However, I've had 3 shoots in the last 3 days, and I'm SOOOO excited about how the images are going to turn out that now it's almost 1 in the morning & I'm still up. Ugh.

I promise you, body, that when I'm done with this, we'll go to bed.

Here are some shots from a bridal shoot I did this weekend. We did the session at a fantastic restaurant in Dallas called Shinsei. Then we had some saki (my first time, and a HUGE success! YUM) and some food. I've just got to plug this restaurant, people, because the food & drink was great, the staff was AMAZING, and the atmosphere is like nothing you'll get anywhere else. Thank you, Shinsei, for a wonderful time & a gorgeous backdrop! www.shinseirestaurant.com







Today's Easy Green Tip: DON'T THROW OUT USED INK CARTRIDGES! Recycle them--lots of companies take used cartridges, and some, like Office Depot, run occasional insentive programs to encourage the practice!

One Stone, a Few Birds 
Hello, again! I know, what a shock...I'm writing an entry!

I went to an event today, hosted by The Knot (you know, that little wedding magazine--ever heard of it?) It really was nice. I met a lot of cool people, who I hope to see again, soon...florists, caterers, makeup artists, etc. I met so many uber-cool people that I ran out of cards...my super-cute, brand new cards! Ah, well...I'll just have to get a few more printed up. What a fun night, though. Maybe a few of you vendors are reading this--HI!!!

This is good news for you brides and grooms out there! I am talking with several of these vendors about offering special discounts for our sweet clients! Woo hoo! I will keep you posted, as I find more out. In the meantime, feel free to contact me for more details, and I'll tell you what I know.

Also, here is some recent work. These are photos from the Pride Casino Night on August 9th, benefitting the Lone Star Ride. This is the third Pride event that I've been hired to shoot. And I must say, I LOVE shooting for Pride! These events are SO fun. Jaga Meyers has done a FANTASTIC job putting on these events, and I do so hope she keeps inviting me back to photograph more (of course, I'll be shooting her commitment ceremony this fall--which will be amazing!) Oh! by the way, if you're interested in checking out Pride Radio, http://www.prideradiodfw.com/pages/prog/pinkparty/, where you can see a video by Maus Studios (yup--that's Kevin's little videography co., more info on that later!) and you can see my photos from Pride's first birthday! Don't forget to stream for a bit--they've got great jocks and fun, fun, fun music!








And, finally, another little green tip...this one is for the brides & grooms, and taken directly from a sheet given at the Industry Event, tonight: Give favors like soy candles, plantable trees, or a donation to an environmental charity in your guests' names.

Wow...what a great idea! This link can help you find some charities you might like. http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.c ... tegoryid=4
