Magical

I had been wanting to try out the new snowglobe template/tutorial from The Sleeping Willow, and tonight's adorable family were the perfect subjects!  So magical!

It's that time of the year. . .

It's that's time of the year. . .

Fall?  Yes, but that's not what I'm talking about.

Halloween?  Yes, but that's not what I'm talking about either!

I'm talking about the time of the year that you are going to cross your Christmas Cards off your list by finally updating those family photos!  I know it's hard to think about when it's 90 degrees outside on a "cool" day, but the fall months leading up to Christmas are the busiest months of the year for photographers, so trust me - this is the time to do it!

I'm so excited that for the very first time, Sweet Everythings Photography is offering holiday mini sessions (and a set of cards is even *included*!)  But don't take my word for it - check out all the juicy details here. . .

I'm starting off with 4 sessions on just this one date.   Then, depending on how quickly it books and how much demand there is, I *might* open up one more date..  So really, it's up to you!

Email me at jennifer@sweeteverythingsphotography.com with questions or to book your session.  Please understand that I will be booking these on a first come, first served basis.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day from Sweet Everythings Photography!

To celebrate, thought I'd share a few pictures of my own little valentines from the minis I did a couple of weeks ago. . .

Hope you all have a great day filled with the ones you love!

Sneak Peek: Valentine Minis

I was never a big Valentine's Day person. . .until I had kids. Now I have to admit that I *LOVE* Valentine's Day! And not in a how-big-of-a-present-are-you-going-to-buy-me-to-prove-you-love-me kind of way. It's more about the pink and the hearts and the cards made by little hands and most of all the big indescribable love that we as parents have for our little ones.

So after lots of preparations and a yucky, rainy week here in Houston, I was so relieved when the weather was absolutely perfect for my Valentine mini sessions on Saturday!

Here's a little sneak peek of some of the fun we had. . .

Thanks so much to all of the families that participated. I had so much fun getting ready for these and spending time with all of your beautiful children!

Announcing: Be Mine {Valentine Mini Sessions}

Ever since I had my daughter, I absolutely love Valentine's Day, so I am so excited to announce Sweet Everything Photography's very first themed mini sessions!

The custom bookmarks (which are included with your mini session, and include 1 image from your session) are *perfect* for giving to all of your special valentines - whether it be your child's class, or your friends and family! And the accordian mini-books (which are an upgrade, and include all 5 of your session images) are a wonderful valentine gift idea for those closest to your heart!

Be Mine Valentine Mini Sessions will be held on this day only, and sessions are limited. So if you are interested, you will want to contact me ASAP to book your time slot.

In case of a rain out, the make-up session will be held on 01.29.12 at your selected time.

I hope you guys are as excited as I am! It's going to be super-cute!

Portrait Party for Layla

I am so excited to share that I am participating in the 2nd Annual Portait Party for Layla! This event takes place all over the country on Saturday, April 9th, and benefits the Layla Grace Children's Cancer Research Foundation. If you're not familiar with Layla's story, you can read about it here, but be sure to have your tissues ready. (Don't say I didn't warn you!)



Here is how the "portrait party" works. . .

Your donation of $75 made directly to the Layla Grace Children's Cancer Foundation will include:

• A 20 minute mini-session
• An online gallery of 8-10 proofs
• One 8x10 print
• Two 5x7 prints

Here is the link to donate to this amazing organization by snagging one of my sessions:

If you're not in Houston, you can check for participating photographers in your area here, or you can make a donation to the foundation (independent of this fundraising event) here.
