Five on Friday

This week has flown by!  I’ll start by recapping last weekend.  We went to the Fort Worth Stock Show to hang out with our favorite buffalo for a couple of hours 🙂  If you are coming to the Stock Show come by and see us & get a picture with Mo the buffalo by cattle barn 4.  We are there every Saturday from 11-1 pm.  The weather has been perfect and I just love that we get to hang out with our good friends Bree & Nate.  Always a good time!

Photography Site Launch!!!

I’m so excited to tell you all that I’m launching an official photography site.  In 2014 I want to dive into photography a bit more.  I am not going to quit my day job….but….I do want to grow and learn.  Photography is something I really enjoy and the creative outlet it brings.  I adore watching families grow year after year….

If you are looking for a photographer in the DFW area I would be honored and blessed to work with you!

Check out the new site HERE  (I just started working on it today….so I may be making a few tweaks and adjustments along the way)

Our Christmas Cards from Cardstore

“I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for Cardstore. I received complimentary cards and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.”

When searching for our Christmas cards I always like to do my research.  I want a pretty card and an equally cute picture to send out to all my family and friends.  You all know I’ve been swamped with Christmas photo sessions lately….and I’m loving every minute of it!  I hope I get to see some of those photos in my mailbox.  Nothing blesses my heart more than seeing a family I’ve taken pictures of on a card.

This is the one time of year you actually get something in your mailbox instead of your inbox.  I just LOVE getting actual mail.  Nothing is more heartfelt and personal than a card.

Sometimes clients will ask me who I recommend for their Christmas cards after photoshoots.  So, while searching for my perfect Christmas card this year I came across Cardstore.  Cardstore is an innovative online resource that removes the hassle from mailing out holiday cards. Once you create your custom cards with personalized pictures, messages, and signature, Cardstore will print, stamp and send the cards for you – helping to take one huge item off my already full holiday to-do list. It’s so nice to know that at least ONE thing is crossed off my list!

Here is a little preview of a card I was looking at from Cardstore.  Cute huh?agdgg

Cardstore was super easy to use.  I just uploaded the pictures I wanted, personalized my card, and then I got to proofread every inch of my card before sending (Something I always worry about after I finalize orders).  There are so many fun designs and options to choose from it was very hard to make a choice!  If you’re looking for quality and something that will stand out from all the other Christmas cards this season I highly recommend using Cardstore.

Cardstore Promotions & Discounts

From 11/14 – 11/20 Cardstore is offering $20 off your $50 order

From 11/21-11/26 Cardstore is offering 30% off holiday cards!

Glitter Christmas Photos

We took some Christmas photos this past weekend with my sister-in-law’s family and Connor’s BFF Ellie.   I call them the “twin cousins” because they are less than a day apart in age.  They just adore each other.

I’ve been slammed on the weekends with photo shoots.  If you want to see some that I’ve been working on click the “PHOTOGRAPHY” tab at the top of the site.  I love watching these families grow and I just love taking photos period.  I just LOVE it!  Maybe one day I can do it more….but for right now it’s just on the weekends.

So, I wanted to try something fun with the kiddos & picked up some glitter confetti.  You have to be quick like fox to take these type of pictures.  I may try to take some again when I have more time…..but here are the kids and their “glitter” photos!  So much fun!D7K_8911
