Come Visit Santa This Saturday!!!

Hi all! Just wanted to drop a note as we get closer to Christmas and let you know that it's not too late to come visit Santa and Mrs. Clause. They still want to know what is on your list and to share a story book! The last couple of Saturday's I have been honored to visit with Santa and Mrs. Clause at True Rumors / PBJ Clothiers in McKinney. We have one more day left to see them and it's this Saturday from 12pm-4pm.

Avoid the lines and the fast pace of other locations, and visit this quaint personal boutique where Santa and Mrs. Clause wait to talk to you and your little one's. They even like pets! ;-) Come join me at the following:

True Rumors Boutique
6851 Virginia Parkway, Suite 100
McKinney, Texas 75070


Pictures are $20 and are delivered to you on the spot on a CD in full-resolution for your reproduction, posting, and sharing. There are also cookies and treats for Santa's guests! Wanted to share a few of my favs from the season so far...

Wieck Family! [Sherman Family Photographer]

Ok, we are at a point in the season that we are past sneaking peeks! I'm just editing and sending as fast as my fingers will work to get images ready for Holiday Cards! I did want to post a few of my favs from this family and thank them for traveling from Sherman to see me! It's so amazing to see these kiddo's grow. I can't believe how big they have gotten since I saw them last. I just couldn't help but look at their 4 teenagers and wonder what it will be like for us when our four get there!

Barillas Family Sneak! [DFW Family Photographer]

This was such a great and patient family!! We scheduled late in the evening, the drive was a bit long, and I was late. Recipe for disaster! BUT we were able to capture some great shots and I really hope Mom and Dad are happy. I love these classic studio shots in black and white. They focus so much on the subjects! Baby girl was 2 months old, but we still were able to get some tender "newborn" type moments! Thanks again guys for all your patience with me and letting me hang out so late!

Hunt Family Sneak! [McKinney Family Photographer]

I had the extreme pleasure of photographing this great family a few weeks ago. They are so special to me. I have been photographing them since just before Baby E's arrival. I don't suppose I can call her a baby much longer... she'll be running circles around us in no time! I love the colors they wore and that we got through to "Mrs. Suspicious" before the end of our session. 8-)

Peercy Family Sneak Peek! [McKinney Family Photographer]

A last sneak peek before the Holidays! Thank you Katy for bringing your family so far to see me. It was a true pleasure to meet you all. These sisters are so cute together and you couldn't ask for a happier baby! Made my job so easy!

I hope and wish everyone a blessed Thanksgiving. I will be heading out of town tonight and not return until Sunday. I will be time traveling back in time to a place where the internet is just not an option! My 84 year old grandmother doesn't seem to see the need for it! 8-) If anyone needs to contact me ASAP, you can call my cell at 972-965-9141. Again, I wish everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving!!

The Sipka Family!

Ok, at least once in a holiday season, I have to ask a client to give me a second chance! This poor family was it this year. We scheduled on a weekday after work hours... with two kiddo's these ages, we might not have been sitting in our thinking chairs when we decided that was a good idea! 8-)

Not that we didn't get some lovely candid moments, but our re shoot went a little better to catch images for holiday cards!

Aren't they the cutest??? I just want to pinch cheeks and blow bubbles looking at these kiddo's. Guess it comes from the great genes!! Thanks again guys for the patience!

Durrett Family Sneak! [McKinney Family Photographer]

These kids are just the perfect ages to photograph. They aren't too suspicious and can be bribed! Thanks for the great session guys and for driving from so far away to meet with me.

Beautiful Family [DFW Family Photographer]

It was such a true pleasure to work with this family. This is totally one of my fav sessions of the season. We did a family set and then some focused on their beautiful daughter. They were just a stunning family inside and out. Thank you guys for working with me!

Welcome Baby Mia! [McKinney Newborn Photographer]

Don't think I can call this much of a sneak peek considering their gallery was due yesterday!! This is the time of year I realize my human limitations. I have a tendency to bit off more than I can chew. I truly believe I can do it all... then football and soccer gets rescheduled because of rain and the baby starts teething and the three year old has a melt down unless we let her wear her crown and tutu to the park. 8-)

I want to thank all of my clients in advance for their patience. I'm hoping this is my biggest glitch and I should be back on track!

Please enjoy this sneak Mom and Dad and I'll be ready with all of your images Wednesday and hand deliver! Want to welcome baby Mia! She was such a sweet heart and I love the way when her brother is in the picture, he wants to hold her hand. Such a great little guy they have there too!
