Ramblings of Random | Fort Worth Child Photographer

Things have been quiet around this blog. The last few months have been full of boudoir work for Noire Belle, but over here we seem to have taken a small breather during the winter months. I'm so excited for this spring, though, as we have a lot of new things planned and sessions scheduled.

The little dude and I have been having a rough time as he steps into his 'terrible twos' and I watch my sweet, complacent little boy get replaced with this impulsive and investigative kid. There are weeks I'm so tired from redirecting and entertaining that I've not even brought the camera out to play with him. I finally broke the mold the other day and spent a few minutes, camera in hand, just letting him be him. Trucks and all.

Wearing his favorite shirt from Janie and Jack, he asks to wear this shirt daily. I am so going to need to save it for his baby clothing quilt.

.



Speaking of Janie and Jack, have you see this shirt? I'm so tempted to buy it as the little dude is moving into a bike and wheel phase at the moment.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday. Get out and make some memories.

Just My Kid | Fort Worth Child Photographer

It's been awhile since I've posted an update on my kid. :)

He's been growing like a weed, of course, and been a great model to use at some new location ideas I have for 2009. The following images are from one of them.

If you'd like to be a test subject for me on this location let me know. I'm going to be taking a few families around to try it out before I suggest it for a regular session.

2009 Senior Collections

I've had people emailing me about it, so I thought I'd go ahead and post the information for everyone who wants it.

2009 Senior Collection pricing can be found here :

Session fees are $125 for a 2 hour session and $195 for the 4 hour session with the Night Life night photography at the end. Each session comes with a sneak peek slideshow available to be uploaded to your myspace or facebook.

Juniors who are interested in receiving a free session should contact me ASAP for an application.

Senior Sneak Peek | Dallas Senior Portrait Photographer

It might be the middle of winter but things are only getting hotter around here. From the amazing onslaught of spring and summer sessions which are coming this way, the new products we're testing, and the restructuring of our collections and product pricing, things are aimed to keep everyone on their toes.

One of the coolest new additions is the way we will be posting out sneak peeks for high school seniors. I know you want the full Hollywood treatment from start to finsh, and as such your images will be displayed in a fully unique way to show off the amazing session you had.

Today's sneak peek is for Brendan, a senior this year whom I had the honor of spending an afternoon with downtown Ann Arbor, Michigan trying out new ideas and getting a little quirky. He wanted something different from what anyone else would have, and I think we managed to nail it on the head.

Enjoy the sneak!

Model Search | Dallas Tx Senior Photography

Things are heating up over here even if it is nearly freezing outside. I've been going through last years sessions and seeing all the Senior sessions got me thinking that it's about that time to locate my Model Reps for this next year.

So, if you're a junior, and looking for senior portraits which are as unique and funky as you are, then listen up. I just posted all the info for the Model Rep program on the website ( http://www.sarahannephoto.com ).

The coolest thing, however, is that this coming year each senior will receive an extra special treat for their sneak peeks. Want a hint? Check out the example I put together of some of my favorite female images from 2008.



I am in LOVE with these new slideshows. And seniors can get the code to post them on their facebook or myspace pages! It's brilliant.

So, if you're outgoing, with a lot of personality, and think you have what it takes, then send me an email and sign up for the program! Or if you know a Junior who is really special, send them over and have them sign up.

And don't forget to check out our facebook page and show some love by being a fan.

I can't wait to talk to everyone about the Model Rep program and start setting up your FREE Spring session. I have some awesome ideas I'm looking forward to trying out and some new locations. It geeks me out.

Happy Holidays! | Texas Child Photographer

The Babe and I have traveled to Michigan to be with our family for the holidays. We've been experiencing snow, airplanes, and the first Christmas where the toddler really gets the idea of opening presents. It has been a wonderful vacation so far and I'm looking forward to being able to see everyone before returning to Texas.

Everyone have a safe and happy Christmas and enjoy your time with your family!

Spring Casting Call | Texas Child Photographer

Fresh Faces – Spring 2009 Casting Call

Holidays are almost over with. It’s always a bittersweet feeling. I love the crisp winter air and the lights dancing around everywhere. It’s a magical time, my favorite time of the year. And it’s always after a break that I start to think of crazy ideas and want to do some sessions just for me.
So I announce the first, annual, Spring ‘Fresh Faces’ Casting Call. This casting call is a list of subjects I want to spend a couple hours with working on some ideas I’ve cooked up. If you, or someone you know, is on this list please contact me to reserve a session date for the spring. Each Fresh Face session comes with a $300 print credit as a thank you for putting up with my ideas. :-D

January / February / March - Sample Sessions

* Two “tween” girls, must be very close friends.
* Two brothers, under the age of 6, who are both able to walk.
* A mother and preschool age daughter.
* A mom with a toddler who likes to help cook. (Must have large kitchen windows)
* A rolly polly baby who just learned how to crawl. The chubbier the better.
* A red headed child.
* A newborn, under 10 days old.
* A girl who wants to be Hannah Montana
* A pregnant momma with a toddler

Know someone who meets the criteria? Email me Sarah@SarahAnne.net and let’s talk. I’m so excited to branch out a little and do some work that’s 100% my brain child.

Holiday Giving | Dallas Kid Photographer

You know someone. You know someone who's experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can't afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family's spirit, love, and beauty.

You know someone. I guarantee it.

I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography -- $2000 worth, to be exact. A set of 5x7 session images, DVD slideshow to watch over and over, and all the session images on an archival CD to be printed and passed on for generations. It's in your power to give them the artwork they deserve this holiday season.

Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a $300 print credit for a future session. What better reason to show some love could there possibly be, people?

The rules:

* You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services. (Being unable to make mortgage payments for a two-million-dollar-vacation-home in Paris does not qualify as sincere financial need.)

* The nominee must reside in the DFW area, or be willing to travel for the session. Tell me who you know, what they're experiencing, and why they deserve my artwork. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.

* You must e-mail me the full story : Sarah@SarahAnne.net

The winner will be announced on Christmas Eve -- get nominating! I can't wait to read all of your entries!

Open your heart to someone this holiday season -- and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.
