{matilda jane trunk show} – fort worth children’s photography

I’ve been on vacation. Can you tell? I don’t think I’ve logged into my blog account in, like, 3 weeks. I should also mention I’m pregnant. For those mommas out there who remember their first tri-mester, I’m sure you’ll sympathize with my being (very) tired and terribly unmotivated to do ANYTHING, much less work. So… I’ve been enjoying a little sabbatical from work. I’m still in my 1st trimester unmotivated-ness, but life must go on, so hopefully I’ll be posting soon from my upcoming sessions.

The Matilda Jane Trunk Show I co-hosted a week or two ago was a HIT! We had a good amount of guests and plenty of clothing was purchased. I even purchased a skirt and cardigan that I CAN’T wait to wear!

I was actually too busy trying stuff on to even think about taking pictures (not that I felt like it anyway since that goes with my being unmotivated to do anything:) so thankfully Sarah took lots that I’d love to share. So, check out this link and see the fun that was had!

You’ll want to mark your calendar (and start saving your pennies!) for Spring 2010 b/c I’m planning on hosting another trunk show then!

Matilda Jane Trunk Show – Save the Date!

A little over a year ago, I was introduced to the unique, creative, and stylish clothing line, Matilda Jane, and it was love at first site! For those not in-the-know, Matilda Jane is a boutique clothing line dedicated to creating fresh and fun dresses, skirts, tops and more for all the princesses in our lives. The brilliant thing about Matilda Jane clothing is that each clothing item is not only little girl friendly, but also 100% mother approved. Finally a compromise between style and trends created just for young girls 8 and under (they also have beautiful pieces for us moms!). These outfits really are a work of art and can only be found in her online store or at trunk shows.

I am very excited to announce that I will be teaming with Sarah of Sarah Anne Photography to host a trunk show this September in a location TBA in central Fort Worth. The benefit to a trunk show is you actually get to see these beautiful works of art in person, hold them in your hands, and even try them on!

So, you need to SAVE THIS DATE:

Matilda Jane Trunk Show

Thursday, September 10th

10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

We will have snacks, drinks, door prizes… and of course a TON of awesome clothes!

And, for a little more excitement, I am making a special offer for all our guests at the trunk show. For everyone who purchases a complete Matilda Jane Outfit, you will be eligible to receive a COMPLIMENTARY mini-session in your brand new outfit once your clothing order arrives. Also, any guest who brings a friend to the trunk show will receive a certificate for a complimentary 5×7 from the mini-session as a thank you gift.

If you would like to attend or are interested in more information about the event, please call me at 817.395.2512 or email amandalynnphoto@yahoo.com to get your name on “the list”. Space is limited to 15 guests only.

I’ll see you there!

{canon 10D camera for sale}

As an update to the below post, the camera bundle was sold as of today. Thank you for all your inquiries!

 

I’ve been thinking about purchasing a new backup camera so I wouldn’t be needing my old backup camera anymore. So, I’m selling it. Here’s the details:

Canon 10D

70-300 Sigma lens with 58 mm UV Sunpak filter
28-70 Sigma lens with 58mm Sunpak UV filter 
2-512mb & 1gb SanDisk CF card
Battery charger
Small Camera bag
english & spanish manuals plus papers that came with it (I can’t seem to find the box at this point)
The original boxes for the camera, both lenses, and one of the UV filters.

 

It’s in very good condition- I’m pretty anal about taking care of my cameras. I used it from mid 2005 to mid 2007 at which point I purchased my current camera. I’ve hardly used it since 2007 except for our Czech trip last September (see pictures below). It’s a great camera for someone looking to start a photography hobby, wanting a more professional quality to their pictures than what they get on their little point and shoot, or needing a trusty backup camera. I prefer to sale it all as a bundle, though would consider otherwise. Serious inquires only please. $475 obo. Below are pictures of the product as well as a few of my favorite images I shot with this camera.

Christmas Cards!

Check out our some new and some not so new 2008 Christmas Cards. If you have been thinking about sending out Christmas cards from a previous session this year, please give me a call! If you have been toying with the idea of getting your child/family portraits done this year for Christmas cards, I have a couple openings left. To incentivize you to call quick & schedule your session, I’ll offer a buy 3 (sets of 25) and get one free for the first two to book.

These are 5×7 sized cards:

Don’t I have the most beautiful baby in the world? Well, after yours’ of course:) The above one is I think my favorite. The image looks like it was made for the design.

I know, I know. She has a halloween petti on. It was just too cute a fit besides that though…

These below are 5×5 cards:

 

fall special & not so special!

Fall is officially here! This year’s fall special is 20% off prints 16×20 and larger. (afterthought note: you must mention the fall special when you place your order in order to receive the discount as this rewards my  blog and site readers for keeping up with new stuff).

 

Did you see my “perfect little package” in the bebe collection. Deanna gave me the idea that it could work for other things like your child’s first birthday and Christmas cards. So, if you’re wanting an awesome Christmas card and only a few images, check it out on my site under “collections”! Call me soon though because in order to have your cards ready in time, we’d need to shoot this month and maybe a week or two into November (though that would be cutting it close).
