Another Precious Newborn Boy {McAllen Baby Photographer}

linda — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 04:37:09 +0000

As promised, here is another newborn that has visited me in my studio recently. This little guy would not go to sleep, no matter what we did, until the very end of the session. Poor mom was exhausted, understandably, since she had just given birth less than a week ago! Thanks guys for sticking it out, I hope you feel that these were worth it!!!

On another note, July is almost completely booked. If you would like to schedule an August session, please email soon! It will be booked very quickly as well. I am currently booking holiday sessions for August, Sept, and October. Please keep in mind that my holiday session deadline will be November 1st.

Abby {McAllen Baby Photographer}

I can’t believe my little Abby is 11 months today!!! One more month and she’s a big girl….the big ONE! I took her into the studio (which I rarely do) and did 9 month pictures of her awhile back and hadn’t gotten around to editing them. Finally, here they are!! AND I was lucky enough to have Austin Children’s Photographer, Bridgette Bloomquist on hand to help me that day….she took some of Abby and I that day that I will treasure forever! Thanks Bridgette…I LOVE them! LINDA BLACKWELL | MCALLEN TEXAS CHILDREN’S PHOTOGRAPHER

Life is Crazy!!! {McAllen Children’s Photographer}

linda — Wed, 19 May 2010 13:55:18 +0000

Life is busy. Scratch that….life is CRAZY!!! At least for me its, and I know it is for all of you parents out there. No matter how old your kids are….babies and preschool age where they need mommy and daddy for everything….tweens and teens where they are trying to break away, developing their own opinions and personalities, and trying to establish who they are and a social life of their own (but still need mom and dad for almost everything!) or high school (especially seniors) where they need money ALL the time!

No matter what the age of your kids, the common theme I hear from my clients across the board is how crazy busy they are! Between all of the things that you “have” to do – school projects, extra curricular activities, housework, career, birthday parties, and your own social life, it’s easy to place “professional photography session” at the bottom of the list. As a mom of three little girls (youngest 9 months), and a children’s photographer, I can completely understand how the documentation of daily life tends to get pushed aside. I am the guiltiest of all when it comes to this. I’m always behind in my editing of client sessions, and I can’t even bear the thought of adding an extra editing time to my schedule. The result ends up being that even if I do take the time to photograph my own kids, the images sit on my computer for at least a year!!! Meanwhile, my little ones are growing up before my eyes!

Don’t let this happen to you! Don’t miss out the milestones in your children’s lives, but also don’t miss out on capturing those everyday moments. I think that is why my my photography style is the way it is – candid, natural, unposed and most of all, fun. I want to see, and capture images of kids doing what they really do….. I love to capture real smiles, happiness, and relationships. These are the images that I most cherish of my little girls.

Here are few of my girls that I have taken over the past year….moments that I just happen to be walking by and loved the moment. Luckily, my camera is usually sort of close by, so I was able to grab it and snap these. They’re not perfectly set up, and maybe they’re not my best “work” but I love these. When I do real sessions for clients, these are the moments that I aim to capture.

This was taken after Katie’s 1st day of school this past fall…as you can see, not only did mommy miss her, but little sisters did as well!

I vow, first of all to spend a little more time with my girls this summer…..I vow to slow down a little bit & enjoy some pool and beach time with my family…..and most of all, I vow to capture many many more moments of my own beautiful girls and actually edit and print the images right away. What do you vow to do???

Sweet Baby Boy {McAllen Baby Photographer}

This was a fun session for me because this little one is only one month older than my baby, Abby. I love seeing the similarities in babies that are so close in age – they have some of the same expressions, they make some of the same noises, and in this case, his disposition was also similar to Abby’s. Thanks mom for letting me photograph your precious little boy!

The last time I saw this little guy was for his newborn session. It’s unbelievably hard for me to realize that he is already one. Seriously, where does the time go?? I’m so glad mom and dad joined in this time….thanks guys for letting me photograph your little boy again!

Two of My Favorite Boys {McAllen Children’s Photographer}

linda — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 03:54:01 +0000

Even though they’re a handful, they sure are cute!! I think mom would agree with that – I’m pretty sure that she left our session a little frazzled, and thought for sure that we didn’t get any good ones at all. Not to worry mom, there are plenty of really great family ones for your holiday cards this year!

On another note…October is almost completely booked – there are only a few sessions left. If you know that you want holiday cards, please, please reserve your session early! November is going to be full very soon. Remember that the deadline to have your session for holiday cards is November 24th.
