Can't resist

....sharing this little one with you guys, from the Fountain Sessions this weekend.

I had such a blast and am possibly interested in adding a second date. If you would be interested in doing fountain sessions and couldn't make this weekend, email or call me and if there is enough interest I will add an additional day.

Also keep the questions coming for the Q&A as my next blog will answer your latest questions about photography, etc.
Checking it all out... bathing suit is from Little Heiress
Doesn't she remind you of a classic movie star??

Photographer Dreams

If you've ever waited tables in your lifetime, then you know what I'm talking about when I mention "Waiter Dreams". I haven't waited tables in over 10 years, and yet, still to this day I will wake up in a cold sweat thinking that I never brought tea and water to my sections and I'm "in the weeds". I have never had a "Photographer Dream" until last night, when I dreamt that the calls and emails were coming in faster than I could handle with clients wanting to know why their pictures had not been previewed on the blog yet :) I'm still behind, what can I say, it's summer, I'm on crutches with three kids--thank God my clients are in actuality the BEST and extremely understanding. That's a great part of my job, all my clients are moms and dads too and can relate!!


And here's another sneak peek for the patient mom of one of the most beautiful babies I have ever photographed...another boy with the gorgeous eyelashes (c'mon you boys, share the wealth!). I'm in love with him and hoping he'll be my son in law someday!! :)

And as promised, Maddy's new bathing suit from Little Heiress (and a self indulgent shot of all three of my kids)

Father's Day Sessions at Little Heiress

We had such a great time last week with these little "mini" sessions for Father's Day! Thank you again to Little Heiress for hosting and organizing the sessions. To those who attended, you should have received your galleries by now...if not, please give me a call! 972-596-5500 The 4x6's will be available at Little Heiress tomorrow (Friday).

I had new faces and old friends come and see me that day. Some brought Daddy along with them: And some brought Mommy.Everyone knew just how much Daddy would love his Father's Day gift...

and gave us their best smiles and laughter.

Some just stuck their tongues out at me, LOL!!!

And others danced beautifully to the music at the Shops at Starwood.

All in all, big fun was had by all and these Daddy's are going to have really great Father's Days!!

Thank you!

Thanks so much everyone who came out to the Shops at Starwood today. Congratulations to my new friends who won the $150 gift certificate and also to my client Robin, who after lamenting all morning about not winning anything, got the call later that she had won the biggest prize of all- diamond earrings!! Happy Mother's Day to her! :) I managed to win some Rough Riders tickets and got an autograped t-shirt from the Rough Riders for my son, and then of course shopped Little Heiress for these outfits I just couldn't resist.

Have a wonderful Mother's Day ladies, I hope you get to kick back and relax!

HATS OFF FOR CANCER

I wanted to let everyone know that Devine Memories Photography is partnering with Little Heiress and KLAK for the Hats off for Cancer Benefit.

The event will be held Friday, May 11th from 11AM-1PM at the Shops at Starwood in Frisco. Little Heiress will be giving away a $100 gift certificate to their store, plus a $150 gift certificate from us!

Bring a hat for a child who has lost their hair from cancer treatments-Fun, Silly, Crazy, Whimsical, Colorful, Kid-Friendly Hats. Hat donations must be brand-new due to the low immune systems of the children receiving hats.

Listen for more details on 97.5 KLAK and I hope to see you all there!

(Side note--I must admit I had not heard of KLAK until this event...what a great family station! I haven't turned it off since!)

You're always asking me...

"What do we wear?" "Where do we get it?"

Well I now have the perfect answer for you. Little Heiress-have you guys been there? It's in Frisco in the new Shops at Starwood. Check out this outfit I got today for my little model:

If I could have taken the whole store home with me I would have. I saw outfit after outfit that would be perfect for photoshoots for girls and boys.

And even better news...Little Heiress and I will be partnering up in the future for lots of fun and exciting stuff...so stay tuned here or visit their store for those details!

And since I'm shamelessly posting pictures of my own kids; for those who have been asking-my little Maddy is now 5 months old, can you believe it?? Here she is-
