Shutter-Happy Photography

From our home to yours… we hope you had a wonderful, a very merry Christmas!

Collage 1:

A bunch of fun events leading up to Christmas… our portrait at the Cibolo Nature Center, the boys in their Santa hats, the boys with Santa (Nathan), us at the Pipe Creek Christmas Tree Farm getting our tree, Ben working on his gingerbread house, the boys with our snowmen in the front yard (we had just made Evan’s), and Evan in the snow (this photo was seen on FOX News at 9!).

Photos from Christmas Eve at my grandparents’ house in Orange Grove.  Events included driving their mule, stuffing ourselves with the best down-home cooking, driving r/c trucks, unwrapping some pretty cool presents, getting to visit with cherished family, and rolling out the door late, to arrive back in Boerne at midnight (just in time to tuck ourselves into bed and wait for Santa).  Christmas morning was full of surprises in the stockings and under the tree.  Then we spent the day with Nathan’s grandparents.  More family, more food (too much!).

When my first daughter, Hannah, was born my grandmother and mother came out from Connecticut to Salt Lake City where I lived to see my daughter–the next generation.  We went to a studio there and had a picture taken of our four generations.  A few short years later my grandmother died at 91 yrs old.  When my husband was at Purdue getting his MBA, we had all four of our daughters and my mother came for a visit.  On our limited budget, we went to a department store photo studio to take a three generation picture.  The camera would only go back far enough for us to barely fit all six of our faces in the picture.  It was so disappointing.  No cute pink dresses showing! 

A half dozen more years have flown by and my mother is here visiting.  No more cute pink dresses, a couple of teenagers and more desires to remember our time of three generations of girls/women who are separated by many miles, but bound by ties that distance cannot even loosen.  Now we have Amy to give us what we missed at that department store: a variety of poses, a desire to make our portrait an heirloom that will be in our homes for generations, a priceless memory.  This morning we did our session in less than an hour.  My mother was so impressed with Amy, and we can’t wait for her to be at the “magic” of our proof viewing.  There’s something very special about seeing those pictures projected on the studio wall.  Big smiles on all faces!  Can’t wait.  Thank you Amy!

I’m wanting to add a new section to our website, filled with clients’ comments about our studio that may help someone visiting our website choose to use us instead of another local photographer.

Have something great to say about us or any part of our business?  Leave a comment here…

Who knows, we just may make a drawing out of all of the comments and give away a prize!
