So there's a lot of the regular spots..  Houston dates, woodlands, pearland, cypress.. but also I've added a few "Just the Card" sessions around Houston during the weekdays just to see if there's a demand for those. You can see the details on the calendar. And as always, let me know what you think! Do you wish I was somewhere else, or do you have a group that you'd like for me to try and accomodate on a certain day? Just email me and we'll see what we can do!

And as always, here's some photos for you to enjoy from LAST fall. sigh.. not sure if I'll get caught up, but I can certainly try.

I really love february because love is in the air - even if it is propagated by society and hallmark stores gallore, i'm ok with that. Just like feelin' the love =)

So for an early valentine's present to you, I have my spring calendar updated. All the way to May! There's a few new ideas and many of the oldies.
First up. the New.
 

Sugarbaby's is a precious cupcake Boutique in Houston that is graciously allowing me to book sessions for the day. Bring a tutu, bowtie or your cutest fancy nancy get-up and let's have fun! (ooh, and don't forget to bring a few extra dollars to buy some yummy cupcakes!)

includes: 30-40 images on cd; index print of images; online gallery to share with family and friends
when: Wednesday, March 4th (Thursday the 5th an overflow day)
email or call 281.360.6477 for spots!

And back by popular demand:
 
Mercer Arboretum is beautiful in the spring. Lots of blooms and a great time to break out the Easter finery. Or course, it's anything but stuffy.. just a chance to frolick in the flowers!

** Houston/Woodlands Wednesdays. ($350)
I'm committing to going to Houston or the Woodlands on Wednesdays for no travel fee for the next few months. Love the thought of grocery carts on 19th street in the Heights or crazy blue walls and graffitti. Can't find that in the Kingwood baby, so let's think outside of the box and have some fun!
