Playful series

I’m very excited about a new line of exclusive products: The Playful Series. The concept consists of holding a themed portait session where your child's energy and vigor will be documented. The images will then be mounted on a customized accordion-style booklet.

Children grow and change so much right before our eyes, next thing we know, we’re wondering where that chubby little face went.

Playful Series allows us to capture their vigor in a special memoir that will record that little chubby face forever.
Book your session before February ’08 and included in your package you will receive one DVD slide show with your portrait images to share with the whole family!

Tango Night

Have you been in Houston and not visited Te House of Tea? If not, make SURE you don't miss out next time.

This past Friday was Milonga night, and in celebration of their 1 year anniversary had special guests performers Korey Ireland & Mila Vigdorova whom demonstrated a spectacular Tango! This duo's dynamic dance full of grace & beauty captured the evening crowd. Swaying slow and quick in a close embrace along with the beat of unique music sent vibes of a dramatic & sensual world into the atmosphere. Here's a peek at of the event below.

So make sure you stop by to Te House of Tea, they hold daytime hours serving fine teas and delicious light foods, along with spectacular events including Friday Tango nights :)

GREAT Fall News!!!

You must already know that Autumn in Houston is a beautiful time of year! With lots of different colors and trees making wonderful portrait backdrops. Clothing is also easy for this time of family portrait.

...and, if you're wondering what you should wear for this type of session, generally denim and dark sweaters work best. Always keep in mind that your portrait will look best if you try to stay away from overly busy patterns. Remember, simplicity is keynote.
