Houston… part 4

Don’t be jealous of my skill of really creative title’s, it just comes naturally.
Yet another adorable family. They were so easy to work with and laid back. I really did feel like the lucky one to be working with all these photographer’s families, they were just fun.
This one of the girls together was my favorite...

cathFebruary 27, 2010 - 3:56 am

I would love to know do you ask these businesses if you can photograph around their buildings or are these places vacant? There are places around where I live but I am not sure if I should ask or just start taking pictures!

NovaFebruary 27, 2010 - 2:13 pm

Where did you take these pics in Houston TX? I love all the branches. I live in Houston and would love to find a place like that.

Houston

Here is my first of many posts from Houston. It was SO fun to shoot in a different location. I shoot around my studio a lot and it gets so repetitive.  This family is ridiculously good looking and natural in front of the camera, wouldn’t you say?
Enjoy!

Congrats on the new blog! I would so love to win a session from you. Seriously!

Sunny DMarch 4, 2010 - 9:39 pm

I went to donate and it said the “recipient is currently unavailable to recieve money”. Stinker. Do you know if she is looking for more photographers to donate their services? I would be happy to oblige when possible.

JolynneMarch 5, 2010 - 5:28 pm

Hi, I sent the money to you. I couldn’t figure out how to send it to them. Sorry I hope that still works.

Sara SchrockMarch 5, 2010 - 11:13 pm

I’m trying everything to try to donate to the foundation, but I can’t make any of the links work…would love to donate…can I send it to you?

simplicity photographyMarch 5, 2010 - 11:16 pm

Ya just send it to me and I will forward to them.

BrookeMarch 6, 2010 - 5:48 am

Hey there! I can’t get the link to work either! Maybe it’s because I cant see through the teardrops in my eyeballs….. anyhow I really want to donate and I really want to win the photoshoot but could you tell me how to enter? Tried all the links and tried to get into yours too and can’t figure it out!! Duhhhh I know!! Thanks Angie!

jannaMarch 6, 2010 - 5:26 pm

Are you truly choosing a winner at random or does the amount we donate matter most?

simplicity photographyMarch 6, 2010 - 6:05 pm

It will be at random
