Back to work!

It was back to work for me this week after my long vacation last week. I went to Pennsylvania to visit my sister and her family. I was very tempted to leave my camera at home, since for me it's like taking along my work, but I did end up lugging that heavy thing with me. Mainly because my sister wanted me to take her family portrait while I was there. One day we went to Washington D.C. My sister knows somebody that works at the White House, so we was able to get a private tour of both the East and West Wings. I wasn't able to take too many pictures there, since it's not allowed, but got some pictures of us outside the White House, and inside the press room that you see on TV all the time. It was pretty cool, I really enjoyed it! Hopefully I will have time soon to post some of them on here. My sister lives close to Hershey, PA so one day we went to Chocolate World! That place just made me hungry for chocolate! We all had a really good time, but also glad to be back. There's definitely no place like home!

Vacation

Magic Wand Photography will be closed from June 8th thru the 15th. Any calls or emails will be returned on Monday the 16th. Thanks!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my nephew Mason! He turns 3 years old today! They came recently for his three year pictures and a family portrait. He's getting a little tougher to take his picture, we took alot of breaks! Mason's the reason why I first bought studio lights. I wanted to take his picture when he was a baby, since I took his big sister Madyson's pictures every year. It was shortly after he was born that I officially became a photography business.

Prom night!

Last Saturday was several of the area school proms. I took pictures at the Sheldon High School prom that was held in Lamar. I always enjoy doing proms and getting to see all the kids dressed up. Their theme this year was P.S. I love you!

I know...I know....

...it's been a while since I updated my blog. So thought I would just share a few from the sessions that i've been doing lately.

Senior Graduation Announcements

Graduation is just around the corner. If you are wanting photo graduation announcements, now is the time to order them. I have several different styles for you to choose from. Don't wait til the last minute! It will take some time to get them designed and ordered.

Jessie's Senior Photos!

Senior Time Again!

I've been getting those last few seniors calling, wanting to get their pictures taken before they graduate. It's still not exactly pretty yet for those nice spring outside portraits, but I was able to make it work for Jessie's session last week. It was a chilly morning, but at least it wasn't raining. If you are a 2008 senior and you haven't gotten your pictures taken yet, you still have some time! Give me a call!

One.....Two......Three!

Oh my! Another set of triplets started their Baby's First Year program last week, and what dolls they are! Kinda makes me want to have a baby, but my luck I would have 3 at once also, and I just don't think I can handle that! Who needs to have kids when I get to see so many cute ones every week, play with them, don't have to change their diapers and just send them home. I have a great job! I am really looking forward to photographing these girls over the next year. See ya for your 6 month session in June!

Thank You!

Thanks to all the people that made my Spring Special a success this year. I had such a great turnout and my bunnies were awesome! Thanks to the Speagle family for letting me borrow them. I just thought I would show you a few of the pictures that I took over the Spring special weekend.

Most Photographed Child!

This poor child is going to grow up hating his Aunt Jayme! I've taken so many photographs of Ruger since day one of his life. You should see the walls of his house. They are already running out of room for photos and he's not even one year old yet! It was time for Ruger's eleven month photos this week, so I did some close-ups to show that gorgeous face and those beautiful blue eyes!

Seeing Triple!

The triplets were here on Saturday for their 9 month portraits and boy are they growing so fast! It's always a little stressful when they come, because you never know if one is going to have an off day. It's hard enough to do one baby, but trying to shoot three that are all the same age...whew! It wasn't much of a challenge this time though, because each one of the girls were wonderful. I had such a good time with them and got the most precious shots! Thanks girls, see ya in 3 months!

Easter/Spring Special!

Busy, Busy!

I've been pretty busy this past week, so I haven't had much time to blog. I've been shooting and editing away, trying to get everybody's pictures up online as quickly as possible. So just thought I would share a few pictures that I've been taking.

Spring Portraits!

It's not to early to start thinking about Easter/Spring Portraits. Easter falls early this year, March 23rd. I am doing a Children's Spring Special again this year, which is planned for March 1st and 2nd. That will give you plenty of time to get them back by Easter Sunday. I'm hoping to have real bunnies this year available to be in your child's portrait. Once I get all my background and props figured out and find Ruger a cute outfit so he can be my model, I'll be sending out postcards with all the information. If you are not already on my mailing list, please email me your address, magicwand@wildblue.net and I'll be sure to mail you out a postcard. Or if you already know you want to make an appointment, just give a call! (417) 228-1016
