Class of 2013: Rocking those Senior Sessions (Denton/DFW Area Photographer)

It's no lie when I say some of my favorite subjects to photograph are high school seniors.  There is just an energy about them.  The excitement, anticipation and sense of nostalgia too is evident when I meet with them.  They are closing one chapter and embarking on a new one in their lives. 


Caitlin was so much fun to work with.  When her mom first contacted me, we had planned to break her session into two meetings, one early in her Senior Year and one later after she got her cap and gown.  This is a great option for clients that want to get their senior stuff ordered early, but don't want to miss out on those more traditional cap/gown portraits as well.


Now I'll be the first to admit, girls like getting their pictures taken more than guys do.  It's just a fact.  Guys just don't like all the fuss, the haircut, the changing outfits and the posing.  I feel for you guys, I truly do.  But moms love to see their little men all dressed up and smiling for the camera.  Just accept it.  And you are about to venture out into the world and choose when and how you do stuff from now on, no one to tell you what to wear (except your boss someday) or how to cut your hair, or even to nag you about your gas tank level or if you have eaten breakfast.  Let mom have the last opportunity to be mom and capture you as the boy, turned man, that she helped raise.

Grayson was a great sport at this.  He managed to keep his eye-rolling and brooding sighs to a minimum as his mom joked and cajoled him into smiling and showing us that handsome dimple. 




 
Congrats 2013 Seniors, Caitlin and Grayson!  It was a joy to be your Senior Portrait Photographer.  Good luck to both of you as you venture towards independence and knowledge.  I know you will both do GREAT!

Spring Family Portrait Sessions - Denton County, Flower Mound Photographer

All the windows are open today and I am enjoying the mid-70's weather that Spring Break brought with it this week.  Talk about "Spring Fever", even my camera keeps beckoning me to get outside and shoot!

How long has it been since you had a family portrait taken?  Something besides the $14.99 package from Sears (where your son had the goofy expression and your hair looked like it was blown out by a light socket)?  Yeah, me too.  Honestly.  I need a new family portrait, so I am betting some of my favorite clients do as well.  Especially the ones that seem to only use me for adorable pictures of their precocious kiddos.

My springtime challenge to you is to get in the shot!  It's time to take advantage of this beautiful weather and get a great family portrait taken.  Print it BIG and PROUD (maybe on canvas??) and you won't regret it.  (I am currently clearly off a spot above my fireplace for just such a portrait of our family soon).

I have a few openings in April and May right now for Family Sessions, but they will go fast (especially the weekend sessions).  We can go to any location of your choice within DFW (and I have a lot of great suggestions if you don't know where to start).  Capturing this time in your family's history is priceless, don't let it pass you by.

Have a blessed Spring!  -- Miranda

Thankful Thursday - DFW & Denton Photographer and Invitation Designer

Today is Thursday.  Thankful Thursday.

Today is finally the last day of the school year for my munchkins (insert whoops of laughter and glee).  And the 30 day countdown until I do Photography and Design full-time (insert LOUDER whoops of laughter and glee).

We are thankful for:
  • Nate's A Honor Roll certificate.
  • Jenna's commendation on 3rd Grade TAKS Testing (given for a perfect Reading score and "commended" on Math).
  • A beautiful dance recital by The Dance Space last weekend (Jenna was beautiful).
  • Great clients and a thriving business.
  • The start of a fun and full summer of birthday parties, baby showers and weddings (more gleeful whooping).
Speaking of birthday and other fun summer events... I've had so much fun designing invitations to several parties and events for this year.  One is a FAB surprise party (but since the party is in July, I can't share the beautiful design with you yet.  Soon I promise!  Shhhhh!).

I wanted to share some of the cute things I've come up with recently (see below).  Do you have a party or event around the corner?  Tired of the same old designs that Party City and other party supply places have?  I can customize to fit any theme and color scheme.  Give me a call and we can talk through the details.

Like one of these below?  Let me tweek it for your upcoming party and personalize it.  I can have the printed invitations in your hand in no time.  Prefer to print yourself?  I can work with that as well by sending you a high-resolution file to print at home on your color printer.  Just tell me what you prefer and we can work it out.

Have a very THANKFUL Thursday my friends!




 Birthday Invitations
(customized to match any theme and personalize with pictures and/or name and details)

Fall Fun






A quick trip to the "Original" Pumpkin Patch in Flower Mound resulted in a great photo op with my kids (who I don't seem to get enough pictures of because I am always shooting clients). We had tons of fun - I totally recommend finding a local Pumpkin Patch and taking your kiddos before they all close in the next few weeks... it's totally worth it!
