summer lately

we officially kicked off summer last thursday and we flew to destin, florida the minute school was over. we stayed for the weekend. we get to enjoy the beautiful beach and it's fine white sand. the weather was perfect. there were no dark clouds, only pure warm heat and salty winds.

holiday photo sessions

it's that time of the year again. time to schedule and gather everyone for a holiday photo session worthy of that perfect holiday card to be mailed out to loved ones and friends all across the globe. last year we finally did a family session and couldn't be more happier to get everyone together and keep all those precious images forever!

my talented niece ailynne is now scheduling these sessions if you're in the houston area, sugar land and katy. her rate is reasonable $100/hr which includes at least 30 images on CD. no travel fees within 20 miles of sugar land, tx (contact her for travel fees). she gets booked fast so let her know if you're interested!
