2008 Santa Charity Event

It is such a long journey for Santa, coming all the way from the North Pole to join us in the studio for this special Santa charity event. We have had so much fun with him being here with us! We have photographed lots of babies that came to visit him for the very first time, for some this was the second year to see him and they were much more aware that he looks nothing like mommy or daddy! No matter the age there is something magical about this time with Santa, He spends the whole Christmas season traveling from place to place raising money to help a Wish with Wings, a non-profit organization that grants the Wishes of Texas children with life-threatening diseases. Major Images is donating 25.00 to a wish with wings for every portrait package ordered for this event, To all of you who came, Thank you for helping raise money for this great cause! We will be having other Charity portrait events throughout the year to continue to help in making our community a better place to live and improving the lives of us all as we give to others. Please visit http://www.awishwithwings.org/ for more information regarding this great organization. Thanks again and may all your Christmas wishes come true! If you missed out on this event please be sure you are on our email contact list that way you won't miss out on anything else! If you would still like to give to this cause and experience a truly magical Santa, please visit him at The Lincoln- square santa land, where he will be. But, only till Christmas eve.

Handsome Hunter....

Hunter had his first Cotillion on Saturday and like most boys his age he rarely dresses up. He's a very casual kid! There is something to be said about the seeing your son all dressed up. I couldn't believe how handsome he was in his suit and tie. I kept saying to him, "You are gorgeous," in a cool, guy kind of way. Poor kid I made him be ready two hours early so we could come to the studio to take pictures before the dance. As a photographer mom very few things make me as happy as having new images of my kids growing up. Hunter made his momma really happy, and his pictures turned out so well that he is the Major Images model for our October ad in living magazine. He is so sweet and handsome I just had to share some of his images. Thanks Hunter!

Sweet baby Jackson

Here is sweet baby Jackson! He was the best newborn I have had in a long time. No poop, pee, or feedings, not even a single spit up! He slept through the entire session! Jackson gets Newborn of the year award! He is such a beautiful baby boy! Congrats to all his family!

New images of me for the about us page on the website

In working on these images of myself today, I have decided that the expressions I do to get the expressions from my clients (smiles and laughs)during a shoot is causing me to need a little bit of botox. Holy cow! Why do we have to get lines on our face? I decided It was time for a new image of me for my website, that's what these are, I think. The one I have now looks so serious and I was about 10lbs skinnier then. I lost 20lbs last year after running my booty off literally, I ran with my friend Alicia like 3- 5 miles, 4 to 5 times a week and dieted for months, I was doing so good! I am not sure what happened, as soon as I was feeling back in shape, I stopped everything! Dang, if I didn't go right back to my bag of donut holes which I adore, and stopped running! Good news is that I have gotten back on track and have done without my bag of donut holes for 8 whole days... Alicia and I are back to working out 5 days a week and have been for going on 3 weeks. Hopefully, I will lose the 10 lbs. by Halloween. Anyway, after seeing the serious side of me for a year now, I thought it was time for a change and so here are some images of me being silly. Back to the botox... I am honestly afraid of needles, I don't know if I could do it or not. I am only 34, but I am serious about not liking the lines! I relise that I do squint through the camera for hours each day which is what is causing them, I just know it! That and I talk with expression! Botox should just be a tax right off or covered by insurance for photographers, you know, like how people get coverage for carpal tunnel or other job related injuries, mine is just lines! Ha Ha....

Our 2008 Day on the farm session

I have been so excited to get these posted for Cindy and her friends! Your kids are precious and were so much fun! My favorite sessions usually involve babies and kids. They are just so unexpected and they find there own expressions and movements with such confidence. This is my new favorite hot spot! I love it. I know upon arrival every single client is saying to themselves, "Why?" It's not pretty or even the slightest bit attractive, but that is my style. I am an expert at mixing yucky and pretty. I love putting people who are dressed cool in an environment that to anyone else would never work and make it awesome, artistic art. This style comes from my photography background in my very first downtown studio. That's when I had to work with pure "Yuck," and make it work. Thanks Kendal and Walker for looking so cool for our 2008 Day on the farm session.
