Will that show?

This is a question I am often asked by my clients. . . The conversation usually goes something like: "Ummmm, I didn't get my nails done, but you won't really see that anyway. Right?"

Well . . . Honestly, yes. Yes you will see your nails. They may not be the focus of the portrait, but you will see them!

As a professional photographer, I make sure to use the finest equipment. Which means, it will be like seeing yourself in high def . . .

So, take care of the little details! Especially, if you will notice them. It will save you retouching fees.

How do you say 'I love you'?

Some people say it with words, some people say it by actions, some people say it by giving, and some people say it with their hands! Check out this cutie who signed 'I love you' to her parents during the session and then followed it up with a cute little 'I love you' . . .






And here's the whole family that she loves!





The gallery will be up soon!

This is the NEW look for TZP! Keep checking the website as it will be slowly changed over. For now, you can access the NEW look, but there will be little information there. All of the information will still be available on the prior site that will remain up until the NEW look is completed.

FREE Portrait Sessions - EXTENDED!

Due to Hurricane IKE, many sessions had to cancel and were unable to re-schedule before this offered ended, so I've decided to extended the offer for TWO weeks!


October 26, 2008, is the last day this offer is available.

Each FREE session will last about 45 minutes to an hour and a half and take place at a local venue of my choice (usually a park). In addition, you will receive a private online gallery, one FREE 8x10 of your choice, and a 25% discount off of my regular prices should you want to order additional prints.

For these sessions, I prefer to shoot young children (think 4-ish and younger) and families with young children.

Sessions will be by appointment only, and you will be my only appointment of the day. This ensures that I'm at my best, that our time together is relaxed, and that we capture the best time of day for lighting (usually early morning or late afternoon).

Time is running out! Call to book your session ~ 832.715.1900!

CANCELLED: 'Christmas In September'

Dear clients, it is with a heavy heart that I cancel the scheduled beach sessions for the 'Christmas In September' shoot.

With the devastation caused by hurricane IKE, I doubt that we could even gain access to the beach, and it would irresponsibly inappropriate to flaunt Christmas joy in the faces of all of those on the coast who have lost so much.

I will offer other specials to celebrate the upcoming holiday season at a later date. Please keep checking here for more details.

Should anyone be interested in helping with the recovery effort from hurricane IKE, please contact Parkway United Methodist Church to see where you can serve.

Just a Little FUN

Paul's New Beginning

Lamar Little League Allstars

The Lamar Little League Allstars had a FANTASTIC playoff season. I went to as many games as I could, and they won sectionals, district, and area. To congratulate them on such a great run, I made them these awesome trading cards:




FRONTBACK


The boys made it all the way to the State Finals Tournament where they came in 3rd. The last game they played in Tyler was the BEST little league game I've ever seen (even if they weren't the winners). After being down 17 to 1 at the end of the 1st inning, our boys battled back and put 15 runs on the board - AMAZING! It was exciting!!!! I am so proud of these players. WAY TO GO BIG BLUE!!!!!

Here's one of my favorite images from the playoff season:





I can't wait for the next round of playoffs - only this time I hope it's just as exciting, but with our team being the winners!

My Close Friend

I had the pleasure of photographing a very close friend's precious little baby.



The Precious Little Baby


And then, we did a session for all of the boys.



All the Boys


I really enjoyed working with these little "men", and I can't wait to do a nice family picture of the whole family when their dad gets back in town.

Forever Dance Spring Performance

The end of the school year is a very busy time - end of school activities, excitement of the coming summer vacation, and performance after performance for the kids various activities.

Terra is a dance student at Forever Dance, and I created custom trading cards for her to share with her friends.



FRONTBACK


Terra just loved these, and she loved passing them out to all of her friends.

So, then came Terra's big performance - the one she worked on all year, and it was just DARLING!



Terra during the opener!


Terra as the little ballerina.


Terra and the nerds!


Terra received flowers from her brother and cousin during the curtain call.


One of my favorite images from the whole night.


And, the cutest little bees I've ever seen!


There were so many wonderful moments that I had the chance to capture, but I don't have enough room to post them all here . . .

Foster Flairs Spring Performance

The Foster Flairs is the drill team for our local high school. As one of their fundraising activities, the team hosted a dance clinic. After attending the dance clinic the participants were invited to perform what they learned in the Flairs Spring Performance. Here are some of my favorite



Terra during the performance.


One of my favorites from the performance.


Another one of my favorites from the performance.



It was a great show!!!! Terra had such fun, and made some wonderful new friends. Now, she is looking forward to becoming a Flair when she is in High School. Many thanks to all of those students, teachers, and parents whose hard work made my daughter's participation possible.
