Beaumont - Klosterboer family mini-session

You can't tell that it started raining during this session because they were troopers and we kept pushing forward. And I loved the addition of Khaki, the family dog - she's such a good dog!

If you'll notice, Dad is doing a great job of holding the pose even while a horse licks his hand. I might have to admit that I may or may have not continued to take a few extra shots just to see if he'd budge......

Beaumont - Goodman family mini-session

I'd like to think that the Goodman's drove all the way from Oklahoma just to have their picture taken by me, but I'm thinking there were other motivating factors for their visit, like family and Thanksgiving and other wonderful things. Oh well. One of my favorite pictures of the day is the last one in this series because the jump feels so real in the picture.

Beaumont - Venghaus family mini-session

You may recognize the Venghauses from the other Venghaus session earlier, and yes, those little girls still have the same contagious smile! I have no idea what was going on behind my back to solicit such smiles, but I'm sure it was funny.

Ok, I'm not a parent, so I'm not too familiar with the Wiggles, but wow, just say 'Do the monkey,' and these little ones start dancing!!

Beaumont - Mills family mini-session

They're baaaaack! You may remember the Mills from Baby Mills' newborn session and then her 6 month session. Well, she's still just as cute and looking so beautiful in her little tutu.

Beaumont - Harper family mini-session

I love how the Harpers color-coordinated themselves - black/red/white is one of my favorite color combinations! And the tutus!! Goodness, they look great.

The Venghauses

Meet the Venghauses! We got together early one morning to get some shots for their Christmas cards and we all survived the morning! What you're seeing here is grandparents, parents, and the five granddaughters. After the session, they all headeded home for their Thanksgiving celebration - a well deserved meal.

In this first image, I love how the little one is trying to walk and keep up with the rest of them.

The whole crew!

Then we took a few shots of just J&M's family.

Then, just the girls!!!

What little girls are made of.....

I love this series!

Christmas mini-sessions - Simonds Family

These kids have personality! They brought some Elvis glasses and we definitely had to get some shots with those. The best kids's shots are captured when they're just being themselves, and these two served up plenty of that.

Christmas mini-sessions - Vasquez family

Do they look Christmas-y or what? Yes, they looked ready for the holidays, and I think they laughed through about 75% of the session, which makes it fun for everyone. "What happens at the session stays at the session." I'm just quoting those infamous words.

Christmas mini-sessions - Meek Family

The Meeks made a quick stop for their session during their busy day and we made our way around the area to grab some shots. I know that every teenager LOVES having family pictures, and the Meeks kids were no exception. *wink* They did a great job and even smiled for most shots. Thanks for being great sports!

Mini-Sessions for Christmas!!!

Two dates have been chosen for this year's mini sessions: Sunday November 16 in Cypress and Sunday November 23 around the Memorial Park area.

To secure a time, email me at dianna@karellephotography.com and I'll give you more information about locations.

The custom cards will be ordered after you've selected an image for the cards. They can be ordered either as flat cards or folded cards in sets of 24. Additional sets of 24 can be ordered. For more information about the cards, go to the Karelle Photography Goodies blog (http://karellephotographygoodies.blogspot.com/).

What to wear: coordinating clothing, but not necessarily matching. Try to stay away from distracting patterns, sleeveless tops, and shorts. You can be creative!!

You might be thinking you don't "qualify" for a mini-session because you don't have kids or the camera broke last time you had your picture taken or it's not cold enough for "Christmas" pictures, but those aren't good excuses!! Mini-sessions are for everyone! Include your pets in the session (no reptiles, please!), bring your best friend, or your sibling, or favorite niece or nephew - be creative!
And if you're absolutely convinced that this isn't for you (or even if it is for you), then do me a favor, please? Pass this on to any friends or family that might be interested in a mini- session this month. Be a hero and give a mini-session as a gift!

For any questions, booking, and payment arrangements, email me at dianna@karellephotography.com
