Thank-you so much for the chance to shoot photos of your new little girl! She is adorable, and at 3 weeks old she has fantastic head control and is even starting to push up with her legs! I’m amazed!
I can’t wait to see you guys again soon, take care & congratualtions!
Corben, 1 year old on 1/6/12, just finished up his Sock Monkey Themed birthday party yesterday. With a guest list with topping 60 people I was sure the house was going to be full beyond belief. But it wound up being just right, just the right size, and just the right amount of people.
The coolest thing about little kid birthday parties is when people contribute to make it a great day. Aunt Diana Jones made the cake & cupcakes (she’ll soon be starting up her own business in Odessa, so keep an eye out for that!), balloons were contributions from Miles & Jacque Haiduk, Cupcake stands & drinks contributions by Cassidy’s Sandwich Shop, and photography by Big Box Photo.
All in all it was a great time, even while the birthday boy was flying sky high on Benadryl & Tylenol to help with teething. :0)
Happy Birthday Buddy, see you again in a few weeks!
Thankfully, I’m a guy & it’s way easy for us. Dark Jeans + 1 dress shirt, and a casual shirt to change into. Done deal.
Girls have it a bit harder though. What do you wear for your engagements? I’ve got some suggestions for do’s and don’ts for you. If you’re only going to be allowed two different outfits make them count. Cover dressy & casual, filling the gaps with accessories.
If possible start your session with dressy clothes. You’ll be the freshest with your hair done up, not sticky & lets face it, getting ready in dressy clothes just takes longer. After those are done you can move to a more relaxed outfit using accessories to close the gap. Use jackets, sunglasses, hats, or different bracelets to change your style without requiring additional outfit changes that cut into your shooting time. That gets you the most bang for your buck!
A jacket is a great way to give more use to each of your outfits
Sometimes it’s beneficial to add in something that speaks to your location. Recently we took engagement photos at a football stadium (see photos here) and they brought their jackets that supported their favorite teams. Very cool, and it gave them a good something to tie back into the location.
But styles change are changing all the time, and so should you. Well, you shouldn’t change who YOU are, but you should have the chance to change your clothes during your shoot. That’s how we make it work out too.
Our Engagement Shoots and Senior Shoots both allow for a change of clothes. Want to book a session with us? Click here.
Our first baby boy is here! So glad to have this little guy around now. I can already see him grow up, starting to show us what he likes or dislikes. I’m so glad to come home to Krystel & Levi now – this house is so much fuller!
Today marks another great day here at Big Box (well it looks like it’ll be a good day, the sun isn’t up for another hour or so). Introducing Coffee Table Albums we can all afford. Starting at $110 for a 5×5 album. This is no craft store album either. Printed on acid free paper rated to last over 100 years, flush mount (stay with me here, that just means that your images are printed all the way to the edge of the page), and there’s no seam in the middle so we can show images all the way across the page. So so so cool, I wish I had something like this for my wedding. And we’re actually going to be ordering one of these for our 2010 vacation too, good for sitting out in the Living Room to flip through every once and a while.
If you’ve shot with Big Box before then I’ve got your images and we can get this ordered quick! But don’t worry if you don’t have a shoot with us, we’ll get you scheduled within the next 3 weeks and have your album back before thanksgiving!
Get a hold of us here and we’ll send over pricing to you!
There’s something surreal about tonight. Krystel is putting up Christmas decorations on our Apartment tree, and I’m reading over some photo blogs putting together some new cards.
There’s something that makes all of it more special being in an apartment too. I always picture myself somewhere else. Just like right now – rather than being in my Apartment in Lewisville – I picture us on the 25th floor of our apartment looking over the big city skyline. A house is going to be great, I’m appreciating where we are now though.
All that together makes it a pretty special night. Now we just need some REAL cookies, because these scented candles are too enticing!
It’s never a bad idea to splurge and have some pictures taken. Who says all that wedding fun has to flicker out? Sure life turns into other things like houses, kids, jobs – people grow into each other.
I’m glad to see that Amy and Nic still wanted some special pictures to have. They’ve been married for a couple of years now, but wanted to have some more recent pictures up around the house. What a great fun couple too!
It was a lot of fun to shoot with them, and they even had us over for vegan pizza afterward! Funny thing was, it was pretty good – I even had seconds!
Psyc! (or is is sike, Psych?) Regardless, even though I’ve got some incredible bride’s to post – I’ve got to wait till after the wedding to post (those nosy grooms!).
Meantime? I’m at the Galleria Dallas now about to meet up with a bride, decided it’s been too long since a last post.
Here’s a few of the high points from the last birthday I did for Dave Davidson, Happy 80th buddy! The most amazing part about this party was the diversity. 3 couples either pregnant or with a young kid – and everybody wanted a couple of pictures! Sure made my day, I love this stuff!
