My visit with Duff

I love to see my Baby Plan customers grow...so I was thrilled to see how absolutely ADORABLE Mr. Duff has gotten!  and what a cool name too!  Anyway... we had an awesome session and I once again have WAY too many images to share with Mom and Dad...but with a kiddo this cute, who can resist?

Here is your sneak peek!

This is my utmost favorite...sometimes the most simple shots are the most powerful... love his eyes!

and since mom is a big fan of "bomber jackets" we had to get a couple of "Duff the Pilot"  He looked so stinkin cute in that hat!

and I just love the shots I got of him with his mommy and daddy...he is so loved!

   

and finally... this little guy has some major baby blue eyes!  I think he may be breakin some hearts one day for sure!

 

Sea World Bound!

Hey guys... I will be "out of the office" until Sunday afternoon.  I am heading out today for a Girl Scout trip to Sea World.  Our troop rocked the cookie sales the past couple of years, so as a reward for all the hard work they earned a trip to Sea World!

We are going to arrive this afternoon and report to the "shark tank" where we set up camp for the night!  Yes... we are going to sleep with the sharks!  Then, we get up at 6:00 a.m. for our "Behind the Scenes Tour" where we help feed the animals before the park opens. 

SO... I will be out till late Sunday... but I will return all calls on Monday. 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Miss Ella...and a baby cocoon.

aI have been dying to try out my new baby cocoon... the various colors in the fabric are just gorgeous and I just LOVE the look of a tiny baby that is all wrapped up. 

On a side note...I kinda went crazy when I found these and got a few... so if you have any new babies I have several color "cocoons" to choose from. 

here are a few favorites from our session...

And a couple in her little cocoon...on a "cloud" of white fabric... what a sweetie!

And some of Ella and her beautiful mom!

 

and finally... we had to get some shots of her with her "big" brother... I thought these shots looked great with a very high contrast BW.... love the emotion in these!

Enjoy your sneak peek, Andi!  See you tomorrow! 

Daddy Daughter Dance...my babies!

OK... please let me take a moment from "business" to show my babies for a moment.  This Friday was the Daddy Daughter dance for Girl Scouts (I have a Daisy, a Brownie, AND a Junior Girl Scout).  My girls get so excited for the dance each year... and Abigail was especially excited because this was her very first year to go.  They looked so sweet...and thought Daddy looked like "Prince Charming"

A shot of "The Girls"

 

I have been a busy girl with sessions last week... so this week will be an editing frenzy before I head out to Sea World this weekend.  I should have some sneak peeks soon!

Party of 8!...

Playing a bit of catch up here... I have been a busy girl the past couple of weeks!

I had the priveledge of working with a wonderful famliy for a home session.  They wanted candids of their day spent with their family.  They have three awesome older children and have been blessed with three twin girls!  So, this family of 8 is quite busy and very happy.  I truly enjoyed spending the day with them and capturing the love that I saw through my lens.

Here are a few from the day...

THE KIDS...

THE FAMILY - Party of 8!

The "Feet" Shot!

and while the babies were taking a break for a feeding... I took the older kids down to "tarantula alley" (wink) for a few individual shots.

and finally... I have to brag on Mr. Blake a bit... he is actually a VERY GOOD guitar player and writes his OWN songs at only 13!  He played a few tunes for us and I was almost in tears.  Keep your eyes peeled for this guy to show up on American Idol some day!  Oh... and his sister Griffin is actually a pretty darn good singer!  They may need to start up a band or something!

Thanks again guys for letting me share the day with you!  I will contact you soon to schedule your proofing!

The BFF Senior Session...

One of the great session options that Angela Majerus Photography offers is the "BFF Session"   They are SO MUCH fun!  Basically, you share your session time with your BFF and get a discount off your session fee.  You get tons of individual pictures.... just like a regular Senior Session and some fun shots wtih your friend...  Not to mention, you get to share the fun of doing your Senior Portraits with a friend!

and here are a couple of my fav individual shots....

I loved working with Christine and Ashley yesterday.  They booked an Ultimate BFF Session with two hours in the studio...and then a location shoot.  We got some great shots in the studio, but had to postpone the outdoor stuff because of the crazy winds we had yesterday!  And now looking outside... I am afraid we may not be doing much shooting this evening...darn. 

Here is a sneak peek at your session girls.... Hopefully we can get part 2 done soon!

Skater Baby!

I am so happy to welcome my newest clients and their sweet little boy!  When they called and told me they owned a skate shop/tatoo shop, I knew that we could have some fun with the shots of their son.  We had a wonderful sesson and Mr. Cannon was such a sweetie pie despite a runny nose and teething! 

Here are a few of my favs from the session...

and one with mom and dad...

Hope you like the sneak peek guys... oh and BTW...here is a sneak peek at the custom business cards I made up for you guys to put in your shop!

and the back side of the card...

See you guys on Monday for your preview session!

Spring has sprung... and "Senior-itis"

I have not heard the term..."Senior-itis" since I was a Senior in High School...which was a just a "little" while ago (wink).  So, with Spring in the air this week...and incredibly gorgeous weather...I was not too suprised to hear it SEVERAL times this week when booking a few 2008 Seniors.... some things never change!

I had a wonderful session with Kim!  She opted for my Ultimate Senior Session with a location add on and we had so much fun with all the outfit changes in studio...and then heading out into the beautiful spring evening for her location shoot.  I just LOVE this time of the year for outdoor sessions!!!

Here are a few of my favs from the studio!

She was absolutely PERFECT for one of my favorite backgrounds that I use... a hand painted one with awesome tones of blues and yellows!

And, of course I HAD to play with my new zebra chair that I bought for my office!  Isn't it fun?!  Expect to see more of it soon!

Gotta show some school spirit...  Go RED RAIDERS!!!

Then... we got to go play outside at one of my favorite parks to shoot at.  I was so happy to see these little white flowers...since they looked so cute with her shirt!

See you soon for your preview session... hope you enjoyed your sneak peek! 

   

My NEW LOGO! (yay!)

I am so excited that I simply can not contain myself anymore... I have big plans for my business this year...2008 is supposed to be the year of renewal right? 

So...in keeping with my plans to shake things up a bit this year, I comissioned Ashley Jankowski of For the Love of Creating to re-design my logo.  I had my original logo designed almost 5 years ago when I started my business.  And, while it has served me well, it was just starting to get outdated. 

I wanted something that was elegant...but not stuffy... with a hint of a modern or urban feel..and she nailed it!  Mainly, I wanted a design element that I could use as a trademark or branding for my stuff... and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the square embellishment she custom made me!  Simple.  Beautiful.  Creative.  I told Ashley I love it so much I may even get a tatoo of my awesome little embellishment...[well, if I wasn't such a wee-knee!]  THANKS so much Ashley!!

This is your first sign of more great changes to come... stay tuned for the debut of my newly designed website!

 

What's an Urban Session you ask?

Take a super cute kid + fun/funky clothes add a cool location (like an old abandoned building with some peeling paint) or two... and you have yourself an Urban Session!  Urban Photo Sessions are all the rage these days... and I absolutely LOVE them! 

My favorite thing to do is find new locations to shoot...and I was super geeked out today to see this sweet spot as I was heading out with my client for our session!  Yes...I said "Geeked Out" and Miss Gracie's mom can attest to the validity of that statement when I saw this spot and quickly pulled over to get some shots!

then it was off to our intended location in Colleyville where we shot some more fun stuff...Grace always has the best expressions...and honestly, we just have plain ole fun when we do a session!

and I just LOVED this coat...

 

of course I just HAD to get myself (and my bad back - ouch) down on the ground for this one... Grace just decided to lay down in the middle of the ground...so I couldn't miss the shot!

Thanks for the laughs this morning...enjoy your sneak peek!

If you have been wanting to do an Urban Session, now is the perfect time with the awesome spring weather... just contact the studio at 817.797.4509 to book your session time!
