San Antonio Family Photographer: Shelly and Travis + fam

I'm slowly climbing out of the "To Blog" folder. These were from back in December.

Since it's almost FEBRUARY, I'll spare you the theme-y shots we did. But I have to say that Travis was a pretty good sport about everything. You know boys never like to have pictures taken. Well, we had him out there with Christmas bulb props, and ladders. He even sat still while Shelly and I wrestled a Santa beard on her CAT. All this, while there was a football game going on, too. 

 They're pretty cute together.  :)

I think Shelly and Trav are in a lot of trouble, in about 5 or 10 more years. Oye.

Now time to write a Shutter Sisters post for tomorrow. Any ideas?  :)

The Bohl-Jones Fam continued...

I figured it out! It had something to do with my clicker. When I right clicked on "use standard selection" it worked. WOOT. Here are the rest of the photos from the shoot below.

Most of the time people walk me over to trees and flowers, but like most photographers, I usually find it more interesting to veer off into the ruin. This was Mike's first car. We had to kinda beg him to pose here in front of it, but I love how it turned out with the Texas plate in the background.

Three generations of gorgeousness.

 see ya tomorrow... ? ...  :)

The Jones Family

Yay, pictures are working again! How is everyone's holiday season going? I have to say that this year, I'm not even close to the edge of a cliff, let alone contemplating the jump. Deadlines and clear cut-off dates have been my sanity (who knew?!). Plus I've been sneaking fun into work. Or maybe the work has been mostly fun. All I know is that Saturday I got up early and drove to Houston for a family/hot mama shoot. It was just me and my coffee, and Soundgarden, literally driving into the sunrise. It made me realize how NICE it is to be ALONE sometimes. And how much nicer it was that everyone (Jason) still thought I was working my fingers to the bone.  :)

Sunday, I went to my sweet friend (and hot mama-makeup-guru-extraordinnaire) Robyn's house. She was having mimosa's and opening her house up for a few friends who make/sell crafts, decorations etc.. Found the cutest little wine charms, that I might not end up giving away. And the rest of my time has been spent kicking orders out like a crazy photo ninja. HIYA!!!

Oh, and being really behind on this blog. I literally have a folder, marked "TO BLOG" with bazillions of files in it. Some days I look into it and think, "I'm too lazy for photos, today I'm just going to talk about the exciting world of pillow-turning". Other days, I look at them and go "eeny, meeny, miny, mo". So today, the Jones family is "mo".

If you're not in San Antonio, Leslie is Leslie Bohl Jones, news anchor for WOAI TV. A couple weekends ago, I drove down to her family ranch in Devine...(another awesome hour of alone time with my music). And she planned her shoot SO well. It really makes it fun when everyone is into it. By the end, even her husband Mike, and her DAD were coming up with ideas. That was so awesome! This next shot might be one of my top ten favorite family shots, ever. LOVE the way the cowboy hat closes the gap, and makes everyone look all smooshy.

 Shoot! Now pictures aren't loading again! Oh well, it's probably best because I'm late for a hair appointment anyway. Will try again later.  xo

The Ortiz-Wilsons

Thank you for all the nice posts and emails about Emily's new do. Now that a day has passed, I'm over the shock...and also wishing it had happened in time for Halloween. She could have been a monster truck driver, or racoon hunter, or one of the brides from Redneck wedding. Jason took her to the salon to have it fixed. And I know he told the stylist to keep it as long as possible. But the result is that she now looks like the mom from One Day At A Time. I see another trip to the salon in the future of Miss Bonnie Franklin.

Okay, onto some family photos. Her are the Ortiz-Wilsons agan. I met Jackie and Ryan for their first maternity session. They were (and still are) the EEEEEASIEST family to photograph. They are totally connected, and fun, and Ryan completely adores his girls. They are all the sweetest.

 Thank you Jackie and Ryan! And if you all have waited to schedule your Christmas session, there is still time! I don't have any weekends left, but there is availability during the weekdays. Call soon! 210-259-3271

Headshots

The last time I was on Living, I brought my camera for a quick mini session with Shelly. She needed new headshots for different promos at the station. So I thought this would be a good time to answer the questions that I get about whether or not I still do professional headshots. The answer is ABSOLUTELY! I actually started my career doing nothing but headshots for years. So I can pretty much rock them out with my hands tied behind my back ("and on Ambien"  :) as Paul would say). I love doing them! So if you're interested, give me a call for pricing. If you're whole office needs a current update, I can come to you + reduced rates may apply depending on the number of people. info@relishportraitstudio.com

Here are Shelly's.

The ad they made.   :)

 

Have a good day everybody!
