Week of Sept. 15-19

Due to Hurricane Ike, we will be temporarily closed.  Most of my family still lives in the Port Arthur / Golden Triangle area and while they sustained only minor damage (Thank God!), they stayed with Jeff & I during the mandatory evacuation and will be remaining here several weeks until the area receives notice to return.  We lost power during the storm and remain without power as of 8 pm Tuesday.  We have a generator so we are able to get by but I don’t have enough power for the studio lights.  I have been unable to check email or receive calls since the storm as well, so if you haven’t received a reply, please know I will be taking care of that later this week.  Thanks so much for your patience!

If you have any questions, please call me at 936-829-2764.

Ashley…09 spokesmodel

Two of our Hudson spokesmodels, Ashley & Sky were here awhile back for their studio session and I realized I hadn’t blogged some of their images.  So here is a few of my favorites from Ashley’s session and I’ll post a few from Sky’s tomorrow.  These two ladies were SOOOO much fun and I’m so glad they came in.  Ashley is part of Hudson’s cross country team and we wanted to put together a sports image with her CC shirt and shoes. 

Sorry for the delay and hope you enjoy them. 

Quick update & note of thanks!

I wanted to briefly update everyone on the status of orders, proofs, quotes, etc…we are behind in getting everything out and emails answered but we’re working on it! 

Because my hometown of Port Arthur was under mandatory evacuation this past weekend for Hurricane Gustav, we had a house-F-U-L-L of family and several accompanying 4 legged-furry friends.  We spent the early part of the weekend getting ready for their arrival and the past few days recovering from the departure.  As if threat of a hurricane wasn’t enough,  we also battled a clogged kitchen sink, freaky phone lines & a downed computer & internet connection since then.  Thank God the storm skirted our area and theirs.  Our thoughts & prayers are with those areas to our north & east that were hit by the storm and wish them a speedy cleanup & recovery.

Thanks to the many friends who offered beds and help.  And thanks so much for your patience and understanding as we start to get everything back to normal.

Kirby…JV Cheerleader

Kirby came in with Chelsea last week for our special.  We had alot of fun and got some great images.  Here are some of my favorites from her cheer session.  I’m also including a few samples of our new poster designs.  We have many new specially designed products to offer our athletes & groups with these special sessions.

Chelsea and her sister, Kirby,  stopped by last week to begin her senior portrait plan.  I’ll be posting some of  Kirby’s images tomorrow.  Here’s a glimpse into Chelsea’s session. 

Chelsea is a Diboll senior and she is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet.  She just lights up the room when she smiles!  You’ll be seeing alot of her this fall as she works with the Lumberjacks’ trainers as well as representing her group in the upcoming Diboll Day festivities.  Good luck in all that you do, Chelsea!  Can’t wait to work with you again on your next session!

Angelina…indoor spokesmodel session

Angelina & Sam were in last week for their indoor spokesmodel sessions…which also gave me the opportunity to tryout a few of the new backgrounds…thank you, ladies!!  Y’all were great.  They put on some CD’s they’d brought with them, danced between shots and had each other (& me) laughing the entire time.   Here’s a few of Nina’s images.  Over the next few days, I’ll be posting Sam’s images from this session as well as some of her drill team session, plus a sneak peek at the special blends I put together last night….So stay tuned!

And 09 Seniors, it’s a great time to book a session.  The new 09 session & price list is nearly ready…Keep watching for a special offer I’ll be posting soon.

Chelsea & Marcus e-session

Chelsea & Marcus had their engagement session a little over a week ago and here’s a quick glimpse at some of my favorites from the day.  It was probably one of the hottest days we’ve had so far but they were troopers and we had a ball running all over the park, acting like kids again.  Chelsea & Marcus, it was fun!  I enjoyed getting to work with y’all.
