Melanie + Lloyd + Baby Trip [Maternity]

Many moons ago, thanks to everyone, I was able to offer the first ever "Free Session Saturday!"
Do you remember? I know it was a while back ("FSS" was on the 14th of November), but I'm happy to show some pictures from that day!

Remember Melanie and Lloyd? Well, they took advantage of the "Free Session Saturday", and boy (emphasis on the boy! That's what they're having and they're naming him after his Daddy and Grandfather; but everyone calls him "Trip" because he's the triple [III]!) was I glad they did! They decided to use their hour long session to get some maternity photos done!

Here are some of my favourite photos from the session! We had it at a park near my apartment. I was looking so forward to the session, but when I woke up at 6:00 AM, it was so incredibly foggy! We made the session time for 6:45 AM, but with the fog, I knew it might be difficult to get light filled shots. I called at around 6:30 and told them to take it easy getting to the park and to go ahead and grab some breakfast and to just meet me at the park at 7.

It was still incredibly foggy by 7, but we were all optimistic! I'm glad we chose to go ahead and shoot, because we got some great shots!

Just a kiss because they love one another! So natural! I love it!

This next shot is probably my favourite from the entire day! Like I said, it was really foggy when we started...but of course, five minutes before our session was over, the sun started creeping in! I was so happy, because I had an opportunity to snag a few shots like this one:

I just LOVE this photo! It's so romantic and beautiful to me! (If I may say so myself!)

I always have such a great time working with you, Melanie and Lloyd! I can't wait to meet little Baby Trip one day! Happy Holidays!

Free Session Saturday

Well, this past Saturday (yesterday) was the "Free Session Saturday" and a past client of mine took advantage of it!

Remember Melanie and Lloyd? Well, Melanie is now a bit over seven months pregnant, and decided to use the FSS as her chance to get some maternity photos with her husband!

Photos will come soon, but I just wanted to say "Thank You!!!" again to everyone that helped people discover my website and services!!!

Have a great Sunday evening!!!

You Did It!!

Congratulations, everyone! You did it! You are all responsible for getting the site 250 views and thus having a FREE SESSION SATURDAY!
I want to thank all of you SO MUCH for everything! To reward you all for helping me, I promised sessions lasting an hour to hour and a half at any location in Austin, TX; one CD with the best, high resolution images with basic editing for light, colour, etc; an online password protected gallery so you and your friends and family can view the photos online and even order prints! When prints are ordered via the website, additional editing and retouching will be done to ensure flawless prints! You'll also be given Reprinting Rights and internet permissions!

Now, I said I promised that. I did promise that! Then I started thinking of all of the people that helped me reach this goal. I also started thinking that there are only 24 hours in a day...and out of those hours, generally only 12 give off sunlight. That means that for the free shoots, there would only be five time slots available! Now, I want peoples' opinions. Would you (since you all really reached this goal) all rather go with the hour-hour and a half long sessions with only five slots available; OR would you rather meet me at one location where I will be for a certain amount of time and have 30-minute sessions. You will get all of the extras either way, but I want to know what you'd all prefer! SO, all you have to do is simply go to http://www.dandyaslionsphoto.com and send me an email through the contact page telling me what you'd prefer! I'll need the votes by Monday the 9th of November so I can make arrangements and announcements! Majority gets the rule with this, so don't forget to vote! :)

Thank you to everyone, again!

Elocin Renae Scarves Shoot

Today I had a fun shoot with one of my best friends, Nicole! We've been great friends since Pre-Kindergarten, and these days she is a master of the art of crochet!
This year, she has started making custom scarves and hats! I must say, and not just because we're friends, her scarves and hats are AMAZING! They're great for the holidays, too!


This scarf is apparently everyone's favourite! I have to say, I sure do love it! I love the colour and the stiches!!! So pretty!


I also adore this one, personally! Green is my favourite colour, and the yarn is soooo soft and cozy!






Her prices are amazingly good considering all of the work and details that are in each piece! Check her out on Facebook here!
