Update on Casting Calls - Woodlands, Houston Photographer

I had an overload of casting call inquiries during the last couple of months. Those of you that inquired about some of my casting calls know that I had to postpone my 'fun stuff' for a later time while I got through the holiday rush. I will begin filling casting calls again with appointments beginning on January 5th. I kept a log of everyone that sent in photos and I'll be making calls and sending emails to set up appointments or feel free to email me (mindy@mindyharmon.com)again if you wish.

Missed out on ordering holiday gifts???

Here are a few last minute ideas...

Gift certificates - They are always a great idea. If you just couldn't decide which image Grandma would want as a wall portrait...give her a gift certificate and let her pick it out! Do you have parents that haven't had a great portrait in years...give them the gift of a portrait session! Gift certificates are completely customizable to your gift giving needs. http://www.mindyharmon.com/giftcertificates.html

Digital files - Digital file packages with images from your 2008 session are still available. The image files come on a DVD and are handsomely presented in a leather folio and black gift box. Digital files are great for those family members with digital photo frames!

DVD Slideshows - Show off all of the images from your session at this year's holiday family gathering. DVD slideshows are set to music and are handsomely presented in a leather folio and black gift box.

Call 281-296-2067 or email mindy@mindyharmon.com to order!

3 Month Baby Portraits

Check out the cheeks on this one! This little one was the friendliest little 3 month old....smiling, babbling and even laughing during our session. Makes me want another baby boy!

S Family Christmas Portraits

You might recognize these two little cuties from a few weeks ago during my marathon Multiples sessions. They came to visit me again for some family portraits and 2 year birthday portraits....don't you love those tshirts with the big 2's??! Way cute!

The F Family

This great family came out for a shoot at one of my favorite spots....and, I think the clouds followed them all the way there! We had to grab lots of shots quickly because we started losing sunlight rather quickly. All in all, we still captured some great shots of this beautiful family!

If you have any questions, please let us know! Thanks!!!

Family Christmas Portraits...

You can really tell that it is the season for family portraits. My main spot to photograph families I just love because it is very scenic and there is usually no one there. Well, today, that changed a bit because of the holidays and we had to dodge lots of photographers that were out doing the same thing that we were. I enjoyed meeting you and your beautiful family today!

Proud parents...

It's always amazing when maternity clients return to me...no longer a pregnant 'couple' but now a happy 'family'. The joy turns from excitement about pregnancy to being a proud parent. New parents are always fun because as I photograph, I get to hear all of the 'Awwww's' and 'Oh he's so cute' with every snap. ...so much fun. Thanks you guys for driving all the way from Palestine today!

I'm jealous :o)

I'm jealous because as I post this mamma's sneak peeks, she is probably making her way to her seats at the Madonna concert! Courtney....I hope the concert is as awesome as we know that it will be! Great to meet you and the family...thanks for coming to see me.

The Woodlands Ice Skating Rink

I think the holidays are officially here now! The Woodlands Ice Skating Rink opened up this weekend and we'll all want to make it a tradition to visit it each Christmas Season. It is in a new location this year, so make sure to check out the Ice Rink web site for directions before you head out at http://www.thewoodlandsicerink.com/ Happy Holidays!

Super Speedy Twins

These two precious twins are the speediest twins I have ever met! They are sure to keep mom and dad hopping at home! Once they found out that my prop cabinet had doors that opened...that was all she wrote...the race from the posing spot back to the cabinet doors was on!

PS...Mom...you get a few more sneak peeks than everyone else since you had to wait all day....plus you give good photography prop shopping tips. Thanks. ;o)

Adorable Twins

I am pretty excited, I get to photograph these two adorable twins along with mommy and daddy next week during a family session. Their mommy is a member of WMOM and she won one of the vendor night giveaways which was a free session and an 11x14 from me. Congrats....can't wait to see them again!

Lively little twins

Luckily, I only need 1/200th of a second to capture great smiles because these two twins were on the move! I'm so glad that they let me steal that 1/200th of a second from them because I love the expressions we captured in those fun winter hats!

Amazing Triplets

I just don't know how this mommy does it! Three two year olds...and another on the way....and she manages to have three of the most well behaved two year olds ever! And, oh yeah...they are amazingly cute too!

Shy Twins

These two cuties came into the appointment as permanent sweet little attachments to mommy's leg. It took them a bit to warm up, but after a while they decided that they wanted to stay with me even after the session was over. ...love it!

Multiples Mommies....

Thanks to all of the multiples mommies that have come by to visit this week! It's been lots of fun! Stay tuned....I'll have more sneak peeks tomorrow!

Twin Luuuuv

I luuuuuv these little girls! How could you not love these cheeks and thighs?!?! I had to steal a couples of smooches on those cheeks before they left...too hard to resist!

Twin Angels

These two little sweeties are the most well behaved children that I have met in quite some time....mom must be doing something right....she needs to give me some lessons! Check out how adorable they are...

Twin Cuties

I photograph tons of twins....and, each time I do, it never ceases to amaze me just how different two siblings can be. Not only in looks, but personalities too.....but, each, just as cute as a button.

Baby...let it snow!

Maternity portraits for December babies just seem to call for a little red....and a touch of snow...even if we are in Texas! What a fun shoot!

Stratton Christmas Portraits

Well, the Stratton's are going to have a hard time choosing a Christmas card photo because I couldn't even narrow down the choices for the blog! Had fun today guys!

*shopping* *shopping* *shopping* Holiday Market is here!

Attention Christmas Shoppers! Don't forget....The Woodlands Junior League Holiday Market is already underway....don't miss it! It runs through Sunday at the Marriot and it's shopping fun that is not to be missed! Visit the Junior League web site to find out more.

The sweet Mr. Luke...

Don't you just want to pinch his cute little cheeks?!?!?

Little Mr. Forrest

This little one had the biggest dimples when he smiled.....and, I am just a sucker for dimples! Just ask my middle son...when he wants something, all he has to do is give me a quick flash of his dimples and I give in everytime. Mom....you are going to be in trouble when the girls get old enough to start chasing after Mr. Forrest!

Little Baby Bram...

Baby Bram is only one week old and came to me in response to one of my casting calls. He was a bit squirmy for a one weeker so we didn't get to play a ton, but we did get some really outstanding shots in between the wiggles! (Happy house hunting guys....I hope you guys found something yesterday!)

Holiday Multiples Madness

Thanks to all of the WMOM members that stopped by my booth last night! It was great meeting all of the new moms and getting to see all of you that I have made friends with since the March Madness event. If you are a member of WMOM just email me for more info on the Holiday Multiples Madness event November 11th and 12th.

Woodlands Mother's of Multiples....

Hey! WMOM members! Come see me on Monday night (11/3) at your group's vendor night....check out some cool new products and find out about the next Multiples Madness event (yes, I am crazy enough to do another one!)....Hope to see you there!

The K boys on Halloween...

My boys really had fun this year trick or treating. All of the cousins came over and we bounced around from house to house filling treat bags with lots of candy. K1 decided this year that he needed to be something scary, so he went as a Death Eater from Harry Potter. K2 wanted a 'cool' costume, so he picked out Iron Man....not just any Iron Man costume....one that had a light in the chest. And, K3...he is just happy dressing up (over and over and over again) in pretty much anything that is equipped with a cape and a mask. So, here are some pics of my cute little goblins....
