Starbucks Gallery ** Austin Child & Pet Photographer


Greetings!

I hope you had a lovely Valentine’s Day!  My husband is traveling on business, so I took my boys out for a yummy and healthy early dinner at the Steeping Room (to offset all that sugar, you know!).  If you haven’t been to the Steeping Room yet, you are missing out.  It’s one of my favorite restaurants, period.

I intended to post much sooner than now but I have been crazy-busy!  In addition to the normal day-to-day stuff, I’ve been compiling a collection of prints and canvases to display at local businesses.  I recently decorated the walls at the Starbucks at Four Points (FM 2222 & FM 620).  I’m pretty excited about it, as this is the first time I’ve done something like this.  I’ll be swapping things out over the next few weeks for variety.  There will be a mix of people, pets and nature/art prints for your viewing pleasure.  All are available for purchase, but please note that the people and pet ones will be available only to their own families.  Please stop in for a latte and a look, and tell your friends!  I’ve left some business cards at the counter, a few of which are good for a complimentary (free!) weekday session.

Also worth mentioning is the Miracle 2011, which was unveiled a couple of weeks ago at the annual gala benefiting Dell Children’s Medical Center.  As soon as the link for the 2011 book is active, I will post it here so you can see it online.   This year the book is more substantial than in previous years, with thicker pages, and more of them.  I met some wonderful new clients and want to thank them once again for choosing me for their photos…..thank you!!

One last thing: I’ve got loads of ideas bouncing around my brain, including some promotions that I will describe in detail next time.  One will be all about newborns and another will focus on animal companions.  I’m working out the kinks right now….I want these promos to be compelling and fun!

Until next time…..

is all we know of love.”
