Perfect Time For Family Portraits

When was the last time your family had a professionally photographed family portrait?

For most people, they have family portraits taken on average around 4 or 5 times in their lives (some have them taken every year).

First: When the kids are young (babies or grade school age).
Second: When your youngest or oldest child is about to graduate high school.
Third: When a child gets married
Fourth: When grandbabies start to enter the picture.

If it's been a long time since your last family portrait, and that old portrait hanging on the wall is faded and outdated, it's time to come in for that new family portrait!!

Don't put this off another minute (especially if your child is a high school senior!). They will be gone before you know it, living their own adult lives away from home.

Call today to book your family portrait session outside in the gorgeous fall colors and cooler weather!!

Colin's Senior Photos -- Hebron Senior Portraits

Here is one of my favorite seniors from this summer. Colin is a multi-talented guy that is active in theater and is a talented swimmer at Hebron High School. He's a great representative for all that we can come to expect from the Class of 2011!

Here are a few of my favorite photos I took of him, and a slideshow that shows all of the photos he ordered! Enjoy!

Lauren's Senior Photos -- Dallas Senior Portraits

Lauren just blew me away!

It's a rare treat for me to get a high school senior who is as into vintage clothing and photography as Lauren and her mother, Laurie, are!

So Lauren brought me a vintage 1940's coat dress, hat with veil, and a vintage 1940's suitcase with all original travel stickers.

Lauren is one of those seniors who just has "it" in regards to being posing perfectly and easily, and having a gorgeous face that looks like she could have easily been a 1940's movie starlet, while looking totally at ease in the modern world. She rocked her vintage photos, her modern studio photos, and we had a TON of fun with my first Trash the Dress session of the season!

Lauren is one of my favorite seniors from the Class of 2010!

Enjoy these! I know I still do!

Pablos Family Portraits

Theresa was the senior I took the snow photos of in February, and in May the entire family came back to have some fun family portraits taken!

I suggested we use the creek where I take Trash the Dress photos, for an usual natural location.

As you can see from the photos, the Pablos family had a lot of fun, and we got some great portraits out of the experience! I will get the chance to take the family's youngest daughter, Carly's, senior photos in a couple of years, when she graduates with the Class of 2012!

Katie's Senior Photos -- Plano Senior Portraits

Katie didn't think she photographed well, but I proved her wrong with these gorgeous photos! I love showing people their true beauty! It's so rewarding!

Katie went to Plano Senior High School, where she was on the soccer team, and is from the Class of 2010.

Haley's Senior Photos -- Hebron Senior Portraits

Haley is from Hebron High School's Class of 2010, and she was an absolute joy to work with!

Bright, and fun, and laughing, and a talented dancer to boot! We had a lot of fun, and I captured some gorgeous senior images of her!

Victoria's Senior Photos -- Dallas Senior Photos

Victoria is strong, smart, beautiful, and has great taste in clothes and can pose effortlessly. So of course her senior photos turned out great!

Victoria is from the Class of 2010, and we photographed in Deep Ellum and in studio. She was one of the first seniors to try out my Ring Light, and it has been the biggest hit of the year for me. EVERY senior wants photos with the Ring Light!

Christian's Senior Photos -- Plano Senior Portraits

I don't get that many senior guys, so it was great having Christian from Plano East Senior High School come in for his senior pictures!

We wanted that cool, old Hollywood look, and we got some fantastic photos of him that made his female classmates swoon!

Christian is from the Class of 2010, and I'll be photographing his two twin sisters from the Class of 2011 this year as well!
