Love this little girl! She is adjusting so well to having her big brother and sister back in school and is looking forward to starting “school” aka MDO next Tuesday! I’m excited that she’s excited but a huge piece of me is going to miss her like crazy. I know she’ll do great and I’ll adjust to being child free for a couple days a week but I’m sure I’ll cry next Tuesday. Heck…I’m welling up just typing this. They grow so fast;(

Our family took our annual vacation to the coast this past weekend and we had so much fun!!! The poor kids had been asking when were going to go for months and between my hospital stay, recovery, then tropical storm Bonnie it really seems we would not get there this year. Hutto PhoographerIMG_0169

I really would love to live at the beach, the weather was great, the beach was clean and the water…well the water had jellyfish in it which was a bummer. Luckily the jellyfish were small so their sting only felt like fire ant bites and the kids had a great time jellyfishing like SpongeBob lol Hutto PhoographerIMG_0165

Both nights we were there the sunsets were just amazing, makes me wonder what the sunsets on the west coast look like as the sun dips down below the ocean’s horizon line… guess I’ll add that to my ever growing bucket list;)

Other than that, we hung out at the pool with my new waterproof/underwater camera and just enjoyed our family and good friends that came with us!

Now on to my September Special! Since we had such a memorable time as a family, I want September to focus on families and memories. If you hold your family session in the month of September and purchase a 30×40 wall portrait in either a Vanity Photography lustre mounted print, standout mount or gallery wrapped canvas I will send you some full size, fully edited digital files of your choice as my gift to you! Purchase a lustre mounted print, and receive 1 digital image of your choice! Choose a standout mount and receive 2 digital images, or adorn your walls with a beautiful 1.5″ gallery wrapped canvas and receive 4 digital images to print in any size you need as many times as you’d like! Please email me heather @ vanityphotography.net to schedule your session!

Meet our new (ok semi new…we have had her for 2 weeks) Labrador Retriever puppy Mahlee Cole! Mahlee has grown so so much in the past 2 weeks it is really crazy. She is such a good girl, already potty trained, knows her name, come, sit, and speak! We are currently working on down and no, I’m sure she will pick them up quickly as well;)

Today was the first day I tried to take a photo of her with my camera gear instead of the point and shoot, all she wanted to do was chew my toes, attempt to eat the camera strap and bark at the camera. I have a few more to share…maybe tomorrow but just these 2 for now. Love the puppy butt!

It sure has!!!!! Back on April 8th I had surgery, I was expecting to be ready to get back to my business in 10-14 days and produce amazing images of brides to be, children and newborns that I had on the books. Instead, after 6 days we discovered I had a really bad infection that nearly ended up costing me my life. I spent 5 days in the ICU and countless weeks in and out of the hospital. Finally after 9 weeks I am doing better and gaining strength and stamina daily.

I am still not booking any sessions currently for this summer. I want to be back to 100% so I can give my clients my absolute best. I will take sessions beginning September 1, 2010 though if you are interested in booking in advance. I am looking forward to jumping back into my photography soon and sharpening up my skills on my kids and friends children…so check back to see those images;)

While I’ve been recovering, my littlest turned 3 years old! I haven’t done her official three year photos yet but I shot these just days before my surgery. Isn’t she the CUTEST?!?!?!?

Do you need a new insurance company? If so, I highly recommend you contact Marcos Esparza! Marcos is very knowledgeable and always willing to help, as a bonus, the office is bilingual! These two are wonderful and I am sure you will agree if you contact them for your insurance needs!

Oh yeah baby!!!! lol Finally, after nearly 4 years we get to see snow again!!!! I forgot how much I’ve really missed the frozen white stuff. I mean…I don’t want to go back to 7 months of it by any means but a few more days than zero would be great! It is so beautiful to watch coming down and the kids had a BLAST with it!!!! I was so sad that Tae was in school and was missing the snow, but she got to play in it after their early release today. That early release by the way….COMPLETELY though off my day.

Anywho, it did my soul goo to see the kids have such a great time in the very unusual Austin, TX snow. Made me think that maybe they are missing out on actual seasons….

I NEEDED to get out of the house today. Still not feeling 100% but I was starting to go CRAZY in the house! I’ve been eying this location for the longest time so today I finally got out to shoot it.  I like it! More to come later;)
