Turning Three!

Ty was here last week. He's getting ready to celebrate his third birthday next month. He drove his dirt bike right into the studio for some pics. Isn't it soo cute! I've never seen a dirt bike this small. I bet he has a good time driving it around racing the other kids. Thanks Ty for coming in and Happy Birthday!

Abigale

Abigale was just here for her 3 year pics. She's one that I have photographed ever since she was a little baby, and her brother just finished the Baby Steps program. She did so well and I just loved this pic, so I thought I would share!

Closed for Christmas Vacation

Whew....it's almost Christmas and I'm getting really close to getting all caught up. It's been a very busy couple of months and I had an extremely successful Christmas special. Just thought I would post just a few of the pics I took during it. I appreciate all the people that came out. It was so nice to be in the new studio. I know I had several groups that there was no way I could of fit them in my old space. I still have several things i'm wanting to do to the studio, I just had to wait til I slow down to get some of them done. The last of the orders that customers are needing by Christmas got picked up today, and I'm about ready to start my Christmas vacation. I will be closed from Wednesday, December 24 thru Monday, December 29th. I will be back in the studio on Tuesday the 30th. All emails and phone calls will be returned then. Thanks to all my customers who made 2008 such a successful year and I hope everybody has a very Merry Christmas!

First Photo Shoot!

Sometimes I get asked, "How old does our baby have to be to do their first photo shoot?" My answer always is, "As soon as you can get them here!" Last week I had 2 brand new babies, Miss Madison, who was 5 days old and Mr. Daxton, who was 6 days old. The newborn shoot seems like it's always the longest shoot. They are asleep when you want them awake, awake when you want them asleep. Sometimes you would settle for either asleep or awake, as long as they weren't crying. It's almost always a safe bet that somebody or something is going to get peed on! But all that work and all that waiting is definitely worth it, you'll get some of the most precious photos that you will treasure for a lifetime!

Exciting news!

Ok, I know there's not much to look at yet, but I had to share my exciting news! After being open for business for three years out of my house, I decided it was time to build a studio. I'm not moving too far, just about 100 feet from the house, so I will still be at the same location. It's going to be so nice to have this huge space to dedicate just to my photography. The walls started going up today, and I'm hoping to be in it by the end of October, but we'll see! I just want to thank all my wonderful customers for supporting me these last three years and helping me to grow my business bigger and more quickly then I had ever expected!

4th of July

Hope you all had a great 4th of July. I had little Hope come in all decked out in her red, white and blue. She is just the sweetest baby, and those eyelashes! Thanks Staci and Hope!

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!
