yep... that's my REAL name (don't ask me, ask my mother)!
thanks so much for stopping by my blog. i am based out of Montgomery, TX and share my
time in Madisonville, TX but will travel anywhere around!
if you have any questions, e-mail me or leave a comment (they are my fave)!
and...if you would like to see more about my sessions, go to the page tab above and click
on session info or visit my website!
i LOVED this session! as much as i adore seniors, it was a great change, and i don’t do many brides so it was fun!
something different! kristen is a beautiful bride, i absolutely couldn’t have asked for a more amazing girl!
it was a HOT day and she was still so game for anything! i LOVE LOVE LOVE these! i hope you love them
to kristen! thanks for an AMAZING session!
Share- Where was the BIG RED TEXAS????? Love these, they are all great!
- Kristen looks amazing! You did a great job Spanki!
what amazing little boys! have you ever seen such cuteness? it was hot, the boys were full of energy, and not a tear! not a complaint! not a wine!
they were complete troopers! we took them to a playground…(that might have had something to do with it) and their sweet momma, randi, brought
major back up… grandma and grandpa…and chicken nuggets!!! it was great! thanks so much randi for doing such a great job with them!
Share- These brought a little tear to my eyes. I love capturing moments like these with my kids. Great job w/ this family.
- Your pictures are terrific! As Great-Grandma from Chicago, I can tell you they are just so natural and sweet just as they were when they were here. I agree with Gwyn's comments and with our family gallery.
- These turned out so amazing. Maybe I am biased, but these boys are BEAUTIFUL. Thank you, Spanki, for being so great and patient. We definitely need to schedule again when my husband can be there--we need a family picture.
- Hi Spanki, What an amazing job you did. Of course being one of the proud grandmas, I must admit that you had some beautiful models to work with. Your patience and laid back nature was key in making this a very fun and successful day! Mawmaw Klaassens
- oh my goodness these are some cute pictures! :) love the last one the most.. that baby has some beautiful eyes!
was it HOT or what? poor colton! he was in long sleeves and i think he was about to kill over!
but…what a great sport! he did so good, guys typically hate picture day, from when they are little up to old men…the thought
of a camera pointed in their direction makes them grumpy! but not colton, he was a sport! thanks colton for doing everything
i asked of you…well, you know except for that jumping picture, but we won’t mention that! 
- LOVE them! Colt 45 sure is a hansome fella!! =)
- WOW... Great pictures, Love them all !!!!
today i had the opportunity to take pictures for all the seniors at First Baptist Church. they are going to create a senior wall,
starting this year, with this group of seniors and add to it every year… what a great group to start off with! once again i got
to hang with what i like to think of as “my friends” some claim to be my assistant…but i think jake is too bossy they have better things
waiting for them in college!
- I love the pictures. They are awesome.
i love love love sarah! what an amazingly sweet spirited girl! not only is she beautiful on the outside,
she is just as beautiful on the inside! i loved her pure laughter and willingness to do whatever i asked and
she’d just giggle at my ideas! i thank you so much sarah for a great time! i love how your pictures reflect EXACTLY who you
are!
***for some very strange reason, a few of these pictures are coming out extremely pixelated…trying to work on it!
if you have any clue as to why please help a sister out!

here is just a teaser for this adorable couple… i am so busy, that i am just giving them a
quick taste of what is to come with their pics, i am rushing their gallery on my web so they
can get pictures picked out for the save the date cards… this couple is so much fun and up for anything!
their wedding is on halloween! how fun is that going to be???
Share
these two were sooo much fun…full of energy but so much fun! we found birds, cows, horses, and caterpillars!
i am a little behind on my blogging still, as you can tell, i have so many fun pictures of these guys,
i just grabbed a few that caught my eye, such handsome boys!
Sharewhat a whirl wind trip… but boy was it GREAT!
so i am back and things are busy! while i was gone i realized i owe my clients an apology.
i did a lot of thinking and reflecting on where exactly i was going and i realized that i have made a HUGE
mistake! HUGE! i am a people pleaser and HATE to tell people NO…really that word is not in my
vocabulary and well, it has hurt me and now i am hurting others! i wanted to make everyone happy and
tell no one no. so i have severely over booked myself. and well now i feel like i am in a pit
of quick sand and i am sinking FAST! BUT once again, another lesson learned! from now on, with certain
exception, i am only booking 2-3 clients a week. and i am cutting back on my weekend appiontments.
so what does that mean to my current clients?
well, it means i am running behind on edits and galleries, so be patient with me, i am working my booty off and
getting them up one by one.
what will this mean for future clients?
BOOK in advance! we all know when christmas is coming, DON’T wait until novemeber. you know wether or not you are a senior
by the end of your junior year…don’t let it come as a surprise that senior pictures need to be taken BEFORE MARCH!
i am saying this in fun, i get a laugh out of you last minute people, but you end up rushing, and not getting things done in
time and you must remember you are not the only one who has waited until last minute and can only get
your stuff in the order you were booked.
so here is my heart felt “I AM SORRY” and to make it a little better… i am giving you a deal:
BOOK DURING JUNE AND JULY and get 15% off your total order!
*ALSO: new website is coming in less than 24 hours! and all price changes are effective MAY 10th!
UPDATE: new site is up! check it!

Share- You go girl! Good for you.
- Your work is beautiful! It was so fun to meet and hang with you! We need to start that blog you were talking about!
- Awesome job, Spanki! You won't regret this decision. : )
what a beautiful young lady! i think we had a record session for me… we were done in an hour and got a ton of great pictures! like way to many to choose
ONE favorite…they are all great! the weather was perfect, and we got to explore a few places i had never gone to before… and of course a few that i
go to over and over because i could actually eat them i am in love with them so much! no matter how many times i repeat a location, it is like i am seeing
it for the first time with each new person… i love that!
**also, i will be out of town on a business trip, saturday – wednesday. so all calls and e-mails will be returned when i get home!
Share- she is a beautiful girl... love the first and last ones the most! :)
i have been working all hours of the night. i am doing all i can to be caught up (is that possible) before we head out of town.
not only am i swamped with editing and posting galleries, finishing cards and completing orders…
my parents are coming to my house to stay the 3 days we are going to be gone…so that means i have to spend at least 2 days
washing, cooking, cleaning, scrubbing… so know that i am working hard to get all your stuff done and up to date…
if you have any orders, place them now, don’t forget once i get back my schedule is full and if you are wanting prints for mothers day…
order them now and i will get them to you once i return!
bon voyage!
Share- busy, busy, busy.... you are going to have so much fun on your trip!! wish i could have wnet with you! =)
