Shout Outs

I wanted to add a few *shout outs* to a couple of vendors that I have been IN LOVE with! I’ve used these vendors for my business and wanted to spread the word of how awesome they have been!

1) Sassy Designs - I can’t thank Terry enough for helping me redesign and revamp my website/blog. Over the past 3-4 months I have been working with her over and over again with my site, info packet materials, site design, and more. She has designed numerous things for me (papers, backgrounds, etc) to use for my business. I was very happy with my 2010 Information Packet that goes out  all new clients. Couldn’t have done it without you Terry…many thanks!!

2010 Cypress Texas Photography Marketing

2) Sweet Pea Plus Three - This amazing Etsy seller had me at Jake! I purchased this hand made shirt and I couldn’t be more happy with the result! Very well made/stitched/quality. If you need something personalized then I highly recommend her!

3) If you have been to my blog or website the past week you might notice some new tunes playing. I am happy to post that these songs are recorded by the amazing Frances England (website here). When I heard her music I knew it was a perfect fit for my website…I adore her! She has two CD’s currently out and they are wonderful for the kids…my boys enjoy listening and singing along! *For photographers she has a license out to purchase useage on your site*

4) Everyone who orders in February and for those that attended my American Heart Association Fundraiser will receive the Go Red For Women pin!

AHA Go Red For Women

And I’m back…

From vacation in the hill country of Texas (Fredericksburg)! We had a great time staying in a log cabin in the country…out in the middle of nowhere. Loved it! We visited five wineries, did some shopping in town, and had some much needed girl time. AND, we still remembered to wear our RED on the 5th!

*Out of Town*

I will be out of town from this evening to Sunday night. I will resume all editing on Monday…as well as emails/orders. It’s ladies weekend getaway! We will be taking  tours of the wineries in the hill country. Looking forward to some girl time! :)

Here is my oldest, Austin, as he recently celebrated his 5th birthday!

American Heart Association Fundraiser

Was a success!! Thank you to everyone who came out today for SKP’s mini session fundraiser! We had a great turnout…only 2 spots were left open due to either sick kiddos or conflict in schedules. But that’s ok! SKP raised $200 for the AHA and I’ll be posting some information about the Go Red For Women campaign soon (and, of course, the sneek peek!). Don’t forget to wear RED on February 5th to show your support!!

*For my clients who came out yesterday for the mini session…take a look in your gift bags and you will see a card in there that has the different Valentine card options (there are 6 different designs). Remember, if you order within 48 hours of receiving your proofs then you will receive your choice of 15 Valentine cards for FREE!*

American Heart Association Fundraiser - Update

I have two slots open (2:00 and 3:00) for the Mini Session Fundraiser this Saturday for the American Heart Association. If you are interested in coming out please contact me today!! Not as a bribe or anything, but I will have lots of eats and treats. Everyone will walk away with a Valentine goodie bag as well! :)

Speaking of the American Heart Association…SunKissed Photography has joined up with the AHA to promote their Go Red For Women Campaign! Here are some details from their site at GoRedForWomen.Org.

American Heart Association Cypress Texas

One Day a Year, What You Wear speaks volumes. Wear Red and Speak Up!

Most of the time, selecting clothing isn’t that critical. But on Wear Red Day, it’s vitally important. That’s because wearing red on National Wear Red Day or any day makes a statement about the No. 1 killer of American women: cardiovascular disease, the cause of one in every three female deaths.

 

Speak Up for Yourself. Speak Up for Others. What does it mean to speak up? Why is it important?

Too many women die each year because they are unaware of this vital statistic: One in three women suffer in silence, and almost one woman dies every minute of this largely preventable disease.

By wearing red, we can bring a voice to this silent killer. We can listen to what our hearts are telling us, talk to our doctors and spread the word to our family, friends, and community about making the right choices and taking action.

Join us in wearing RED on February 5th! I want to see you wearing RED! Send in your picture to me at info@sunkissedphotos.com wearing your RED and one lucky person will win a 50% off session fee for 2010!!

Baby D - Cypress, Texas Baby Photography

It was so nice seeing Baby D again! Last time I photographed her for the Fundraiser for the Stansel Family she was learning how to sit up…now she is a mover and a shaker!  Believe it or not, but this beautiful angel is only 8 months old. Oh yes! She is going to be a supermodel I’m sure!! She has the personality, the looks, she has it all! Thanks again for coming out to the studio S and D! :)

Congrats again to your growing family!! :)

Baby C and Baby C - New Caney, Texas Newborn Twin Photography

I was sooo excited to meet these little guys! They are the cutest twin brothers and did so well for their first photoshoot (at least out in the real world!). I couldn’t believe the session only lasted an hour and half - they slept so well! One thing we did find out is that they do not like to be placed on their tummies. Ok. Note to self. Got it! G Family, thanks again for having me over to photograph your newest arrivals!

And Mr. G…see how much it was worth you being swaddled?! ;) The picture is too cute!
