Christmas Set Extravaganza at Taylor Made Photography November 14, 15 & 16, 2008

We have a very unique Studio here at Taylor Made Photography in Pflugerville. We have the space to be able to have 4 unique sets up at one time!! So on November 14th, 15th & 16th we are going to have 4 sets available to choose from for a Session fee of only $50! If you would like to add a 2nd set it would only be an additional $10 per set added.

Set #1 "Santa Baby" for all the little girls! We have a special Christmas Card that was made just for this set. I will be making that Card available for only $80 for 24 of the 5x7 Folded Cards. Regular price is $95 for 24 cards. This set is only available with Taylor Made Photography every other year! Won't be available again until 2010, so don't miss it!!

This was our 2006 set, 2008's set will vary slightly.

Set #2 "Winter Wonderland" This set is appropriate for boys and girls alike and is all decked out with the snow, sleds and trees!! All it needs is the kids all bundled up in the winter best for a warm snugly Christmas Card or Family Portrait.

This was our 2006 set, 2008's set will vary slightly.

Set #3 "Classic Family Portrait" Choose from 3 Canvas's here in the Studio to have your Timeless, Classic Family Portrait done on. You can choose from our Gray & Black background that looks fantastic and oh so elegant in Black and White.

Or you can choose from our Indian Summer background that has warm golden tones to it and photographs so well with the warm earth tones of the season.
The 3rd Canvas is our newest background, so new I don't even have a family photographed on it yet! It is a creamy tan and white with a very faint Forrest in the background. It is very soft and elegant and will look fantastic with white or light colored clothing. Some little girls in white Strasburg Dresses would be absolutely stunning on this canvas! I happen to have several sizes of sleeveless Stasburg dresses for clients to borrow for their portraits. I will add a sample of this backdrop here as soon as I can.

Our 4th set is "Christmas Morning" This set will be perfect for the Christmas Jammies for the little girls and boys!! Families too would be amazing on this set! More images to post soon!

Call soon... this set is already booking up quickly!

These 3 days will book up quickly and these sets (with the exception of the "Classic Family Portrait") will not be available any other day but November 14th, 15th & 16th!! So plan now and give us a call to book your time! 512.494.4267 or email at Tracey@TaylorMadePhotos.com.

Don't let these Economic times get in the way of capturing this special time for all families!

Jones Quints - now 17 weeks along

The Jones Quints are now 17 weeks along. Wow, was there ever a change in Casey's belly in 3 weeks!! This is so exciting to watch unfold!

A member of their church has created a website for them. They were overwhelmed by friends, family and their church members with questions of how they could help, what they needed, what they wanted... that in this day and age, the easiest thing to do was build a website that all of that information was easily assessable. So here it is if you are at all interested in following their journey or possibly helping out in any way. www.joneslife.net

What I would like to make my mission for Taylor Made Photography, is to supply them with as many diapers as we can... I would love it if my clients and Taylor Made Photography could pull together and get enough diapers to help them make it though the fist year!! From now till the Quints are a year old, for any client that brings in a pack of Pampers Diapers I will give them a FREE 8x10 from their session! That is up to a $75 value for a $17 - $20 donation! (I may be off on the prices... it has been a long time since I have bought a pack of diapers!!)

OH... they have also found out the sexes of the babies!!!
4 Girls and 1 BOY!! WOW!!!!

Very Exciting News for Taylor Made Photography and a local family!

I have such a special story to tell!! I am honored to be a part of this journey this family will be on for the next several months as well as for many years to come!

Ethan actually came to me back in June as a referral from another one of my clients. He wanted me to photograph his daughter and him by themselves as a surprise gift for Cassie, his wife. He was soooo cute about it and so excited to do this for her!!

He went and picked Eliot up from pre school without Casey knowing it, packed her clothes.... everything just perfect. We did the session of just him and his 4 year old daughter, Eliot, and the images were so cute, fun and playful just like he had wanted. Then he choose the perfect image and had me add a letter he had written to her on it. Then before I framed it he came in and hand signed the letter portion of the print. He was so nervous you would have thought her was signing gold!!

Then, to give it to her... oh man... sweet!! Guys... pay attention to this part!!

Ethan made a romantic Dinner Date with Casey to take her to their favorite little restaurant here in Austin one night. When the waiter seated them at their table the print was hanging on the wall above the table! She apparently was quite shocked and thrilled with the print!! The letter he wrote was very personal and touching!!

Ethan and I had made the arrangements that they would all come back as a family and do their family portraits and shots of Casey and Eliot together to go along with the ones we had already. Ethan had told me the day he choose the image that they were trying to get pregnant. Then when he brought her in to see all of the images they had taken that day they had the wonderful news to tell me!!

They were Pregnant!!! I was so excited for them, that it had happened so fast for them.

Then they said "... WITH 5"!

I about DIED!!! I about fell out of my chair!!

So needless to say we are going to document the pregnancy with images here at the studio about every 3 months for as long as she is able to be out of the hospital. Once she has to be on bed rest in the Hospital, I will pack my gear and go to her every 3 weeks!



Can you even imagine?? 5 BABIES!!! Please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers over the next year! They are hoping to maintain the pregnancy till February of 2009!! She is currently 14 weeks along and the first images here are from her first session at 10 weeks.

Please keep a watch on my blog, I will keep you updated on their progress regularly! I will also be doing some sort of a fundraiser for this family around the first of the year, so please let me know if you have any ideas for that if you would like to help!

Thank you Casey & Ethan for allowing Taylor Made Photography to be a part of this incredibly special time in your life! I am so excited to be able to document it for you, it is truly an honor!! It really means a lot to Rhonda and myself. Please, let us know if there is anything we can do for any of you during this time.

A Baby on the way for Taylor Made Photography - Austin's Preimer Maternity Photographer

This is Mrs. M, and she is just glowing, and beautifully expecting a brand new baby boy! These are some of my favorite images from her session. I love it when women, no matter her size, big or small, are comfortable in their own skin... and she defiantly is!! This is one of my favorite types of sessions to do, the Maternity Sessions. Such a beautiful time in a woman's life and it should be celebrated!!

Thank you Mrs. M for allowing me to be a part of this wonderful time in your life! I can't wait to meet that baby boy!

Another new baby for Taylor Made Photography

Meet Mr. Harrison. Oh he has the cutest little smile and eyes that just light up the room!! I almost did not need my lights!! =) When his Daddy sings to him you can just see the joy and excitement ooze from this precious baby!! As you can see by his expression in the family shot... ya know when Daddy was not signing to him... I obviously was not as impressive as Daddy was!!

By the end of the session he was completly tuckered out from all the playing and signing!! He ate a quick snack and was OUT for the count. We took advantage of that time and got some adorable shots of him while he was asleep.

Again, I am so looking forward to watching him grow!

One of the newest additions to our BeBe Plan at Taylor Made Photography

Meet little miss Jayden!! Isn't she just a cutie?? I look forward, as I do with all my new babies that join the BeBe Club at Taylor Made Photography, to watching her grow up so closely over this next year!

Here are some beautiful babies that have recently had their Cake Session at Taylor Made Photography and will be soon graduating from the BeBe Plan! This is when they are about 10 months old, and Mom or Dad brings them in with a Birthday Cake all their own to totally destroy!!
