Ready, Set, Go......We are off....

Off to the holiday season. I have neglected my posts. I will play catch up soon. If you come here to see what is happening, please come back. I will share new favorites and special memories. If I dont see you before the holidays. Have a safe and merry one!

ATK Birthday Winner !

Michael is the Around Town Kids Birthday Winner. This was a wonderful way to spend Saturday morning. Michael, along with his brother and cousin were great to photograph. They were patient and playful. Just the right recipe to get a few good shots! I hope your birthday was a blast. On a side note, my heart breaks for his mother. Beautiful boy now...handsome man later! Girls watch out!

I hope to see you there.

Just Snap a Photo

Today I remembered why I love taking photographs. Capturing the little moments. Just a quick little snapshot of how you will remember your children. We played with paint today. I thought I could manage and it under control...soon she and I became the canvas. I have to remind myself to take pictures of my daughter now. Days are so busy and then gone before you realize they're over. I am glad I took the camera out of my bag and captured this moment forever.

Dallas Arboretum

Ok, I can't stay away. I am adding the last weekends in September for sessions at the Dallas Arboretum. It is a nice way to spend the morning and then even have a picnic or *tips* let your kids play at the frog fountains.

I will have a 50% discount on the sitting fee and special package pricing. If you book by September 8, 2006 you will receive a complimentary 8x10. Sitting fees must be paid before the session. I will email you with directions, package information, and other session tips once we book the appointment.

Call or email me for more details. You can reach my email at salernophotography@sbcglobal.net

I look forward to seeing you there!

She turned 3.

I recently had a session with a sweet little 3 year old. She lasted almost 2 hours! What a good girl! She was a lot of fun to play with for the morning.

We met at the Dallas Arboretum. It is absolutley gorgoeous. I had quite a few sessions there this past spring. I realized I do not go there enough. It is a green lush oasis in the middle of a HOT and dry Dallas. Still beautiful in the August.

School is Starting....

...and what does that mean? Really the holidays are not too far behind. I am now starting to get ready for the holidays. I am offering a "Christmas in July & August" for those families wanting to beat the rush. Yes, I said Christmas, it is less than 150 days away. :)

For this promotion, I am taking photos EARLY in the morning on the weekends. By August, I am always ready for fall. Pumpkins, cool nights, the state fair, and the holiday countdown.

The Start of Something New

I am onboard and joined the blog bandwagon. I think this is a great way to capture a little bit of me. Maybe you can see what I see. Each session imprinting on the next. It is really a chain of events in creating and capturing the art of the subject. I look forward to sharing these moments, photos, or just funny little side notes from the wonderful people I meet and that imprint on my heart and soul.

If you feel inclined, please post comments. I would love to hear from you. Thanks for looking :)
