Happy Birthday Tara! sweet 16

Today Tara turned 16!  Since we are in Austin we made a trip to San Marcos to do a little shopping and suprised her with a visit from her brother Preston, she was super excited to say the least.  It has been a while since she has been able to see him. 

We have been staying with my Papa and spending lots of time by the pool, the kids LOVE it!!!

Back to enjoying the vacation!

 

Night with the Monster Trucks!

***If you are an easily offended person, please exclude this post and its content***

Chad, Gage, (and apparently MacKenna) LOVE watching monster trucks, so we headed to the show last night.  The show was good, but the crowd was even better!  We had a blast!  Day #1 of the vacation was a success!!

 Ok….prepare yourselves!! These are the awesome reminders you are at a redneck event….and we were right there with ‘em!!

 

wow.

Might as well bring your own pizza…..right?

Where’s the General Lee?

Organic bandana? Even rednecks are goin’ green.

IM ON VACATION!!! (and an announcement that seems way too soon)

I am so excited!! We are leaving for vacation tomorrow afternoon! I will have Logan returning the phone calls and emails that cannot wait, but I will return the rest as soon as we get back home.  I will have my laptop with me, but really want to enjoy the time with my family.  I will be back to work on August 2nd:) 

and…..

I know it seems early for this post, but I have had several inquiries.  If you are interested in Christmas pictures this year…it’s time to think about  getting  them scheduled!  I will not be shooting anything for Christmas past Nov 13th this year.  This will give me time to make sure everyone’s orders are finished and ready to go out by Christmas.  I will be offering a Christmas Special this year as well.  Here is what it will include:

  • 1 hour of shooting ~ ($100 value)
  • 5 Traditional prints ~($175 value)
  • 5 digital images on CD~ ($500 value)
  • 25 5×7 flat Christmas cards ~ ($80 value)

The total cost for the Christmas Special is $500      ($855 value)

You will pay $200 at the time of booking and the remainder will be due before pictures are delivered.  Thanks!

I have some new cards for this year that are super cute!  You can also click here and here to see the others to choose from!

 * The images in the cards are not mine.
