Father's Day Week! 25 Personalized Father’s Day Gifts

2013-06-12T15:28:12Z

Father’s Day is this weekend! It’s a day that we get to celebrate all of the great things that dad does for us every single day. Thankfully I found some really great personalized gifts for Father’s Day and have that part taken care of. The only thing left on my agenda is finding the perfect Father’s Day activity for Sunday, here are some options:

1. Go to a Baseball Game
2. Make it a Movie Night
3. Play on the Playground with Daddy
4. Splash in the Pool, it's summer! outdoor fun activites are perfect.
5. Ice Cream Social - Dad picks the flavors.
6. Lunch Date - Dad picks his favorite place to eat.
7. Take a walk with Dad
8. Let Dad go grocery shopping with the little ones (be ready for getting tons of stuff you really don't need)
9. Houston on the Cheap, tons of affordable some times free activities.
10. Cuddle and Nap time with Dad - Because what could be better than cuddling up with a little one for nap time?

Big brother Ace was not in the mood to be photographed but with mom and dad's help we got some stinky cute photos!

Newborn Photography - What is the ideal age to photograph a newborn?

2013-04-22T03:03:41Z

What is the ideal age to photograph a newborn?

If you've considered a newborn photography session, you may have noticed how most photographers advise that the shoot should take place as early after birth as possible. "I conduct all newborn sessions during the baby's first seven days of life,". "The reason we encourage parents to photograph their newborn during his/her first week of life is primarily due to their sleepiness. Once they get older - even at four weeks of age - they are much more alert, stay awake for longer amounts of time and become more restless and less manageable. But since we really want to capture them all curled up and sleepy, we must photograph them as soon as possible after birth,"!

Thank you little Miss Abby for being such an angel!

Maria Carolina & Leo. He's 2 and he can shoot!

2013-04-20T20:16:19Z

Today Maria Carolina came with her son Leo to my Studio for a Mother's day mini session. Leo is 2 years old and 8 months. He was a bit shy in the beginning but towards the end of their session I invited him to help me to photograph his mom. He didn't think twice! and he did it; he held the camera firmly and pressed the shutter!

He took a picture of his mom and proudly showed it to me when looking at the screen in the back of my camera. I know ... it's not in focus, it's not straight, but it was done by him, a picture of his mom! What a great mother's day gift that is. I loved it, and I had to proudly share it in my blog.

Pet Photography

2013-03-21T21:23:51Z

Last week I was contacted by Beverly Smith, the owner of Make a Tail Wag pet boutique, asking me if I could make her some dog hair bows. If you know me well you would not be surprised at all with this offer. And yeah, I loved the challenge! Not only did we make them, we bathed/groomed our furry boy, and photographed him! Hey, I'm a stay home mom - we can do it all by the grace of God!

It was a quick and fun project! If you have an idea in mind, and would like to see it in a photo, let's chat about it. I'll be glad to take the challenge and I'll be honest about being able to execute it or not.

Here is one of the 10 images we created for Make a Tail Wag pet boutique
