I promised that this post would be images from Miracle Book sessions. In retrospect, I should have said that I wouldn't be back until the Miracle Book is unveiled, which won't be until next month. I certainly don't want to spoil the anticipation by showing those images here. However, I also mentioned a few posts back that I would show the "pool jump shot" from one of the sessions. So here it is! I have to say again, these eight cousins were wonderful subjects. Such beautiful and well-behaved children.
I lied. I said in my previous post that my next post would be Miracle Book images. Well.......I was going through my image archives, enjoying the beautiful children and babies whom I've had the privilege to photograph over the years, and I came across Baby S from a couple of years ago. I remember he was a bit fussy at first and then fell asleep (as we'd hoped!). I think he looks like an angel in this shot.
Next post: Miracle Book shots! I promise!
Greetings! It's been awhile since my last post. I have been incredibly busy with Miracle Book photo sessions...and loving it! A big thank you to two friends who have something to do with this...you know who you are. ;0)
The two photos accompanying this post have nothing to do with the Miracle Book....they are some very good friends that I was visiting and happened to get some cute shots. Next post will be Miracle Book images. Until then, I am sending good vibes to all of you out there.......
I am very excited to inform my blog readers that my first print ad can be found on page 17 of Parent:Wise Austin! I love this publication and never miss an issue. Editor Kim Pleticha always provides such well-written commentary, and the articles are relevant to parents of children of a range of ages. I am running ads exclusively in Parent:Wise for several months so you will see more of these! Let me know what you think! For those of you who prefer to read online, you can get the latest on the Parent:Wise Austin website at www.parentwiseaustin.com.
Enjoy!
These images are from a recent Miracle Book 2010 session. When I first heard that I would be photographing EIGHT children in a wide range of ages, I have to admit I was a bit nervous. That is a lot of kiddos to orchestrate! Would they be willing and cooperative? As it turned out, the answer was......YES. Oh.My.Gosh. They were SOOOO good. And FUN. Not to mention, gorgeous. All of them. They are all related to each other, either siblings or cousins.
At the end of the session, we decided it would be a great idea for them to jump into the pool with their jeans and shirts on, which, of course, they loved. This is the shot of the aftermath...I should probably post "the shot" of them jumping in, too, huh...check back later for that!
Time once again to mention the Dell Children's Medical Center Miracle Book, as we are in the home stretch for the discount. Everyone who purchases their page and schedules their complimentary session by September 1 will receive 10% off the regular price of $500 for a page.
For more information, please visit the Miracle Book home page at http://www.childrensaustin.org/?nd=themiracle&und=152. PLEASE NOTE: in order for me to submit everything by the deadline for actual printing, I need to wrap all sessions up by mid-September, and image choices must be made by September 30. 100% of the proceeds benefit DCMC. Please contact me with any questions!
BTW, if you chose option "d" above.....you would be partly correct. After an exceedingly busy fall season I went into hibernation for awhile to keep my sanity. Break time often results in fresh creativity, so keep checking back for new visual treats and special offers. I'm making a new promise right now (as much to myself as to my readers): more frequent updates!
