Sweet Baby Girl! - Austin, Pflugerville, Round Rock Childrens Photographer

2010-06-12T14:29:00.003-05:00

I would love to share little Miss A to my online family. She has the prettiest eyes and the sweetest expressions for a 6mo old baby girl! I have enjoyed photographing her since she was a newborn here at Taylor Made Portrait Studio! She is on my Baby Plan. I can't believe she has grown up so much in such a short period of time! Babies tend to do that don't they?

I am also looking forward to doing an extended Family Portrait for her family this summer! That is going to be so much fun... she has an amazing family to work with! AND... I just finished taking Senior Portraits for her Uncle this past week as well.

OHHHHH I love my job!! I get to hold and love on new Babies.... then send them home!! How great is that? I am so blessed!

This was such a wonderful family to work with. We would get to laughing.... the baby kept peeing on Mom and Dad... we stayed entertained the whole time!

These were Daddy's shoes when he was a little guy!! Wow... this

little guy has big shoes to fill!

This was his Momma's chair from when she was a little girl... how sweet is this?

Is this not the cutest thing in the whole world?? His Grandma got him this and after much work on getting him to go sound asleep, we were able to grab this one, very fast shot!!

This little guy still has his umbilical cord, but he is smiling and winking at me!! How crazy is that?

Again... we got to laughing!! I have so much fun with my clients... Thank you so much to all of you!

Why I am a Portrait Photographer - Pflugerville, Austin, Round Rock - Family Portraits

2010-05-10T16:01:00.004-05:00

If there was ever a video that brings the power of portraits to life, it is this one. What an important job I have as a photographer in the lives of my clients. It is SOOO incredibly sad that sometimes they don't realize it or even appreciate it until it is too late.

I showed this video to my husband after I had been shown the video at a Photography Seminar in Dallas... and HE got a little weepy thinking about his father that passed when he was 11 years old... and that the ONLY photograph he has of him is hanging in his Mother's house, and there are NO other copies of it! It has already survived one fire and she won't send it to me to create another copy of it for him. I guess she is too afraid of what could happen to it in transit because there is NO AMOUNT of money that could now replace that image that was printed on a $10 piece of paper 30 years ago! When you think of it all like that... it is very overwhelming.

People... don't wait to capture those memories because you think you are too fat, that you want wait to loose those 10 pounds, or grow your hair out another 3 inches... DO IT NOW. You may not get another chance. I hear from my new Mom's all the time at the Design Consultations ... "oh, I don't want to be in the portraits with the baby, I am too fat! I just want pictures of the BABY." And you know what my response is back to them... "I completely understand! I feel the same way, but I am really not doing this for you! I am doing this for your baby! In 30 years from now, don't you think your son or daughter would love to look back and see images of their Mom and them? To see how much you loved them and wanted them? They are not going to think... 'wow Mom, you sure were fat', they are going to think how beautiful you were and how wonderful of a gift you gave them 30 years ago by having that portrait done!"

I became a Photographer because I loved the Art. I stay a photographer because of how important of a job it is in the lives of our future generations! I beg you not to wait to capture a family portrait... even if you don't choose me as your Photographer for what ever reason, just choose someone that will create the family portrait you and your future generations will be able to cherish for a lifetime.

If you do choose me to create your Family Portrait for you, please mention this blog and I will have a special gift for you while supplies last!

2008-11-11T13:26:00.001-06:00

Here it is!! Our new 2008 Christmas Set. This will look beautiful for Families as well as just the Children. Dillard's has these adorable Christmas Jammie's if you would like to have your child's portrait taken in them. I have girl's size 8 and boy's size 10 on hand if anybody would like to use them.

I would suggest that you bring in an actual gift for your children to open while they are here. I have these cute little boxes, but would it not be so cute to have a "real" gift for them to open and capture that in a portrait?

Please see the next post down for all of the other sets available November 14th, 15th & 16th.

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

2008-10-27T13:24:00.000-05:00

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.

Jones Quints - now 17 weeks along

2008-10-27T11:49:00.000-05:00

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!

2008-10-01T21:31:00.001-05:00

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

2008-10-01T21:03:00.000-05:00

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

2008-10-01T20:42:00.000-05:00

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!

Expressions, Expressions, Expressions!! Pflugerville's Premier Children's Photographer

2008-06-20T14:39:00.000-05:00

Here at Taylor Made Photography we strive to capture your child's every expression as they happen. Babies especially, they grow up so fast during that first year, almost right before your eyes!! Don't miss out on having those wonderful moments caught in beautiful portraits and displayed as works of art for your home!

This little guy is really special to me! He is on Taylor Made Photography's baby plan, but that is not what makes him so special. I started taking portraits of his Mother when she was just early pregnant and I followed her through her entire pregnancy. At the last session we then had a beautiful Storyboard to put together of her and his growth over the last 9 months! Talk about memories to cherish!! There is a post in the archives of that storyboard.

A recent Session at Taylor Made Photography - Austin, Round Rock & Pflugerville Photographer

Then wow... she all of a sudden she turns from this sweet little young lady, into a Sassy Pre-Teen!! Fun, fun session! I can't wait to do her Senior Portraits!! She is full of life and energy! I love this age, I would love to do more sessions of kids in this age group!

Pflugerville, Round Rock Newborn Photographer - Getting Caught UP!

2008-06-20T13:04:00.000-05:00

Well, May was a whirlwind for me and Taylor Made Photography! I have been spending the better part of this month just catching up on everything from May!

I attended my yearly Photography School down in College Station, TX for a week. That was so much fun! I learned so many new things on marketing, I can't wait to get everything implemented that I learned!

Then my husband and I went on a trip to Pennsylvania. We visited his family in Philla, then we drove up to York, PA to do a Family Session for a wonderful friend of mine, that is more like a Sister to me than she is a friend.

She has wanted a baby for as long as I have known her, she helped me raise my now 15 year old during the first couple years of his life, but was never able to have a baby of her own... until now.

She met a wonderful man, and were planning their wedding and then woooppss... there came Miss Shelby instead!! She had other plans!

I felt so honored in being able to give them these beautiful images! It was a fun experience for them, and a different setting for me! All of these images were done in our Hotel Room on the bed, with just the natural light from the large window in the room coming in, no studio lights at all. My poor husband, God love him, was standing on the bed holding up the black background for me. Then he could here us ohhhing, awwwing and laughing and he could not see anything... he missed it all! What a trooper he is!

After going over these images, and seeing this beautiful light on them, it makes me even more anxious to get the natural light room completed upstairs to use for Taylor Made Photography!!

Pflugerville Senior & New Studio Backgrounds!! Taylor Made Photography - Austin, Pflugerville, Round Rock

2008-04-20T22:30:00.000-05:00

I had to show off this beautiful Senior from Pflugerville High School! What a neat girl, I have had so much fun with her... we have been all over the place! Tonight we finished up her Deluxe Session by doing a Session out at "The Domain" off of Mopac. What a neat place!

Also, had to introduce 2 new backgrounds I have in the studio. A Blue one, that works wonderful for Pflugerville and Stony Point High Schools, and a Red one that will work well for Round Rock HS and those Aggies!! These are both CUSTOM hand painted backgrounds, you will not find these at ANY OTHER STUDIO... ANYWHERE! They are only at Taylor Made Photography!

Now Booking 2009 Seniors!! Call about our Summer Specials!

Thank you!!

I wanted to send a very heart felt THANK YOU to each and every one of you that participated in our First Annual Ladies Shopping Event on Saturday the 19th! We raised over $400 for our Austin NILMDTS Chapter! That will really help with our expenses... it is sooooo appreciated!!

The vendors were wonderful! Each and everyone of them were the nicest Women and Men you could ever want to meet! Everybody's tables looks so nice and I have heard nothing but wonderful things about it! People are wondering when we are going to do it again! And the answer to that is... Hopefully again right before the Holidays and then again next Spring!

I have also been asked by one of my wonderful clients if I would be interested in helping her do an event at her house in Steiner Ranch on June 6th, 2008... this event will also benefit our Austin Chapter of NILMDTS! I am so excited and HONORED that people are wanting to help out so much with this! I am just speechless!

Thank you again to the vendors that spent all day here and to the ladies that came shopping and bought all of the wonderful products everybody was selling as well as the raffle tickets!! If you won an item, it is here at the studio, and you will be contacted by the vendor to come pick it up. Please just call me and set a time with me to make sure I am here!

Congratulations Lisa Muska for winning my raffle item which was a FREE Studio Session and a 16x20 Wall Portrait!! They both have BEAUTIFUL children, so I can't wait to do those sessions!

2008-03-27T21:55:00.001-05:00

I have so much fun with these kids! Thank you so much for coming to Taylor Made Photography to allow me to capture this special time in your lives!

I have a special place in my heart for all of you Seniors... every year! I get to live out my Senior Portrait Session through all of you. I never had the chance to have them done for myself, and that is a huge part and time in my life missed forever! I always say, you can't get tomorrow back! So capture it TODAY!

Fun Couple!! Taylor Made Photography, Austin , TX

2008-03-27T21:40:00.000-05:00

I wanted to share an image from one of my recent Maternity Sessions. This couple was so much fun to work with! So much in love and excited to have their new baby! I can't wait to get the call that I have another newborn to play with!!

Those Texas Blue Bonnets are coming!!! Taylor Made Photography, Pflugervile, TX

Session Sneak Peaks.... Taylor Made Photography, Pflugerville, TX Photographer

2008-03-18T19:34:00.001-05:00

I just wanted to put some images up here of some of my sessions this past week. I have had so much fun with everybody! Thank you so much for entrusting Taylor Made Photography to capture this special time in your lives... whatever the occasion!

Spring is Springing!!!! Taylor Made Photography, Austin Photographer

2008-03-13T21:59:00.000-05:00

Happy Spring to all!!! Spring is Springing with or without me! I have been so blessed to be so busy this past few weeks that I have not had the time to get my Spring Emails out! So, here is an update!

I am not doing a "Limited Edition" for Spring or Easter this year. I have actually created some neat sets that I can set up any time for any body! No need to wait for a "special week or weekend" just come on in anytime!!

These backgrounds are PINK, YELLOW, PURPLE & BLUE. To come shortly are a LIGHT GREEN & DARKER BLUE (for my big boys). Also the wonderful cart of Spring Flowers a wonderful client of mine put together for me!! I am set with all kinds of sweet little Easter props for those that want them. I just wanted to focus this year on doing wonderful SPRING PORTRAITS, and not focus so much on Bunnies and Ducks. I want you to have images that will be beautiful pieces of ART on your wall for years to come... not something that is only appropriate to hang in the Spring.

I have many new SPRING GREETING CARDS available to choose from that will be beautifully with these new backgrounds!

ALSO.... PLEASE NOTE A NEW SESSION ADDED!!
I have added a NEW MINI SESSION to my price list. It is good for one or two children only and will be one background and one outfit and will be scheduled for approx 30 min. This will be perfect for those kidos that are just needing a quick session to document their growth or special occasion (LIKE SPRING) but don't need a FULL portrait session. I will give each session my same care and dedication, we just won't play as much and go through every background I have!!

The only complaint I have ever heard from my clients is that I give them too many choices. This session will keep that from happening!! =)

Check out this Belly's progression! Taylor Made Photography, Austin Photographer

2008-03-06T19:30:00.000-06:00

This young lady and I have been working on her progression panel of her pregnancy now for several months as you can see!! She is very happy to now have her sweet little boy in her arms instead of in her belly!

I just wanted to share this and let all of you expectant Mommies know that this is an option for you. What a better way to document the growth of your baby, before he/she is even born!

Although while you are pregnant, it feels like it goes on FOREVER and it will never be over... but in reality it is such an incredibly short time in yours and your baby's life... capture every moment! Come see Taylor Made Photography for your Maternity Session before you miss it!

Check out our website www.TaylorMadePhotos.com for our NEW Maternity and Newborn Collections!

New Baby Plan Backgrounds

2008-02-18T19:02:00.000-06:00

I know, you have not heard much from me in the past month! I have been so very sick since right after Christmas, one thing after another has just come in and taken me over! I have actually had Strep back to back and have had to cancel way too many appointments because of it! I certianly do not want to be around any of my wonderful Clients and their new babies or big babies while I am that sick!

Thank you to all of you that have been so patient with me during this time and to those of you that have wished me a fast "Get Well"! I am happy to say that I am finally starting to feel like myself again, and am certianly not contagious anymore! So if you are one of those clients that I had to cancel over the last couple of weeks, and I have not contacted you yet, please feel free to call me to get back on the schedule! I am a little behind right now as I guess you can only imagine!

This weekend, I felt pretty good and got busy with doing some new background walls here in the studio. One of my goals for Taylor Made Photography is to have the largest selection of backgrounds in Austin!!! (She how dies with the most backgrounds wins!! =) ) So here are 2 of my new Baby Plan backgrounds. Of course I will be able to use them for more than just the Baby Plan, but that was the main idea behind them. Of course, since I have been sick, I have not been able to be around any new babies, so I do not have one to show on this new set... but I will tomorrow!!! I will have a one week old baby boy to add into this set and then be able to show off!

These walls will also go very well with what I have planned for my Spring/Easter portraits for the Studio. I am planning on having a Yellow, Lt Green, Purple and a darker Blue wall as well... and with simple elegant Spring and Easter props.... presto... we have a very simple elegant Spring/Easter Set!! Stay tuned for information as to when I will be doing the Spring portraits.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

2008-01-09T15:14:00.000-06:00

I hope that you have all had a wonderful Christmas and a safe New Year! We had a beautiful first Christmas in our new house, but the days following were not so great! My oldest son, Tyler, went on a snowboarding trip to Colorado with some of his friends and was in a bad car accident. Tyler broke his pelvis and had to be flown home the next day! So that has been how our 2007 ended and 2008 started! He is doing better now and was able to start back to school on his crutches.

I thought I would share the images of my kids. They are the absolute hardest kids for me to photograph ever!! They do not want to listen and act right for MOM! All you Moms know how that is.

I also wanted to thank all of my wonderful clients for helping me to have such a wonderful Christmas Season! I have many plans in the making to make 2008 GREAT for Taylor Made Photography!

Merry Christmas!!!

2007-12-10T22:00:00.000-06:00

Hello All,
It has been a very long time since I have made any type of post to my blog. I apologize for that, but I have been so blessed as to have been so incredibly busy photographing your wonderful families that I have not had time to do anything but work!

The season for me is starting to calm down a little, and I will be able to go in and post some of the images from my recent sessions for all of you to see! Thank you so much for your business, it means so much to me! Remember, the biggest compliment you can give me is a referral to your friends and family!

I wish each and every one of you the Merriest of Christmas's and a Happy and Healthy New Year!

Sincerely,

Tracey Taylor

How bout them Cowgirls??

2007-11-08T23:28:00.000-06:00

Here is a recent Senior I have photographed. What a joy to work with and such a beautiful young lady! I got to put my new cowboy boots to the test during this session! We walked all over the ranch where she boards her horse! Have not been out on a horse ranch in a long time, I had lots of fun. It brought back all kinds of old memories from my childhood.

This is a selection of 5 of her favorite images from her session I thought I would share. I have been so busy lately I have not had the chance to update my blog except for the necessary stuff! Maybe I will get caught up before Christmas?? Probably not! =)

Enjoy

Christmas Sets November 16th - 18th ONLY, Book Now!

2007-10-29T13:19:00.000-05:00

Winter has arrived at Taylor Made Photography. The White Room as been transformed into a winter wonderland full of fun and snow! The Barn is now a County Cottage Porch. Both are awaiting the arrival of your family to make them complete!

The Blue Christmas Set is perfect for Children of all ages. I have the Blue Dress available for the little girls to wear if you would like, but other clothing options would be warm coats and jackets ready for a day in the snow! Soft colors will look best, but the bright colors will also be wonderful and fun!

For the Country Christmas just about any Christmas Attire will look wonderful. I would suggest to keep it more of a casual look though. This set is also large enough for Small Families! Also there will be some nice big Red Poinsettias added to the set for more color over the dates of the sessions.

These 2 sets will be up for 3 days only! So book your session time now! You can have your choice of just one set or you can do both!

Also... Don't forget the shoes!! As my regular clients know, I am the SHOE HAG!! I usually hate shoes in portraits, but I have to let that go for these sets, as it just would not look right to be barefoot in the snow and be happy about it! So, please no tennis shoes, but nice hiking boots or dress shoes of some sort.

Session Fee's are:
Set of your Choice is only $35 or Both Sets for only $50.

Senior Sisters!

2007-09-23T21:10:00.000-05:00

These Senior Twins are just beautiful girls! I have had so much fun working with them to create their beautiful and unique Senior Portraits! We have done a Studio Session for each of them, as well as a Location Session where we went to the creek and played in the water and you can see a sample of those images down farther in this blog.

I feel sorry for their Mom and Dad to have to pick their favorites from these sessions!! These girls just don't take a bad picture!

Also in these images you will notice some new backgrounds in the studio. The brightly colored painted wall is really fun! I had just finished painting that with a girlfriend of mine that day... it may have even still been a little wet when I took that image!

Then I have hung some cool fabric up on one of the doors, and it photographs really well... as well as my Blue Jean wall. I am still needing BLUE JEANS for this wall... it is ALMOST done! Thank you so much for all of those that have donated to receive your FREE 5x7!

2007-09-23T20:51:00.000-05:00

Well... I guess this is the day I am trying to get caught up on some blogging! I have just been so busy, and also been down with some major back problems this last couple of weeks, that I have really gotten behind on my blogging, and other things!

This is one of my Bebe Plan Graduates! I have absolutely loved watching him grow over his first year! He is now 16 months and oh my goodness what a cutie he has turned into!! I mean... just look at that smile!! He has always been a little cutie pie... but wow.. I just can't believe how much he changed over the last 3 months!

Large Family Wall in Studio

2007-09-23T16:44:00.000-05:00

Here is the large wall in my studio that I have specifically designed for large families. Although this is not a large family photographed on it, be assured it is about 15 feet long and plenty large enough for extended families! I painted it in neutral colors so it will go well with all different colors of clothing.

I am really excited about the completion of this wall because it opens a new service for me that I was never able to do before, and that is photographing large families in a studio setting. I have always had to take them outdoors! Not anymore!!

Recent Beautiful Senior!

2007-09-23T16:34:00.000-05:00

Here is one of the recent Senior Girls I have had the honor to photograph this last week. What a beautiful girl she is inside and out, and we had a lot of fun!

We did a full Studio Session as well as going outside for a full Location Session. The location we chose for her was just an adventure around downtown Pflugerville. There are so many neat little areas I have found around this little town! I feel very lucky to have my studio here and have such neat stuff so close to photograph!

Wonderful Family!

2007-09-23T16:22:00.000-05:00

I have had the joy of working with this wonderful family for over a year now. I met them when Mom was pregnant with their little boy and have had the honor of being able to document their son's growth from pregnancy through his first year.

I just wanted to share the image that they have chosen for their Family Portrait to hang as a Gallery Wrap over their fireplace, the image by the waterfall. I can't wait to deliver it to them, and see how good it is going to look in their living room!

Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of this special year in your life! I look forward to watching your children grow for many many years!

2007-09-09T00:30:00.000-05:00

Taylor Made Photography is on fire with Seniors this year! We are having so much fun!

Here are a few images from a session I did this evening of Senior Twins! We had a lot of fun playing in the creek... as you can see!

Senior Dragonette

2007-08-29T13:57:00.000-05:00

I have had the honor of photographing the Round Rock High School Dragonettes again this year! They are a super neat group of girls, and I look forward to doing all of their Senior Portraits as well!

I have done one young lady already, Meghan. She is one of my Senior Models this year! I am very excited to have her working with me during this season.

I am still looking for other Senior Models from other local High Schools, such as Hutto, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Cedar Park, Round Rock and any other High School in the general Austin Area.

I have 2 Senior Model Meetings scheduled. September 1st, 7pm, and September 5th at 7pm. If you are interested in being a Senior Model, you must attend one of these meetings with a parent or call for a private interview. I will be closing the search for Taylor Made Photography's Senior Model's in the coming weeks. I would like to have one boy and one girl from each High School. Please contact me as soon as possible if you are interested.

Meet Corine

2007-08-29T10:33:00.000-05:00

I had the pleasure of photographing this young lady last week, who graduated with the 2007 class. She is a very pretty young girl, and we had a lot of fun with her!

Thank you for letting me be a part of this time in your life! Good Luck in College Corine!

Things are FINALLY starting to come together for Taylor Made Photography at our new location in Pflugerville! Just in time for the busy Holiday Season that is fast approaching us!

Our New Camera Room (where I actually do the sessions) is up and running! There are still lots of things that I want to do in there, but it is completly functional now!!

The new High Key White Room is AWESOME!!! Now as your little ones run across the background, it won't matter where they go, I am still going to get an awesome image of them! I can have them stand or sit against the walls for a completly new look! As you can see from my daughter's image on the white!

We now also have 2 brand new backdrops! One of them is the Jean's wall! This is going to be really fun for Seniors! I took an image of Rianna on it yesterday just to give you an idea of this new idea... but it is not done by any means! I am still in need of old blue jeans! So as you are getting ready for school, and going through the closets, I would LOVE it if you would hand off your old Blue Jeans to me! For each pair of Blue Jean's I receive, I will credit your account for one FREE 5x7!

Then.... for all those UT FANS of mine!!!! I have a new background just for you!!! This is my Son, Roderick, and he is a UT football hopeful!! He LOVES football just like his Daddy! This background is painted in Burnt Orange and works really well with all the popular UT Gear!!

I look forward to seeing you on these new backgrounds!

Studio Update!!

2007-07-20T16:31:00.001-05:00

It has been a long time since I have made a post on my blog!! Things have been very busy for me so far this summer.

We are converting our 3 car garage into a new camera room for me, as well as getting completly moved out of our old house, painting the house, the studio... and the list goes on and on!! As well, I was out of the office for 2 weeks at a convention and with other things!

I just wanted to share my newest background with you all!! These are just fun snapshots of my 2 youngest kids, they were the only subject I had available at the moment, and wanted to get an image posted!! They had been swimming, if you could not tell!

This fence is going to be a real hit with the Seniors this year!! I am really excited about all the changes that are coming for me and Taylor Made Photography! I have a new website that will be up and running soon, as well as the new studio space... and oh what a space it is going to be!!!! I will try and keep you updated as it gets closer to being completed.... which should be fairly soon!

Thank you so much for being my client... all of this would not be possible if it was not for your referrals of your friends and families!! That is the best complement you can give me is the referrals!! Keep them coming!!

Sincerely,
Tracey

I just spent a week at Texas A&M for the BEST Photography School in the nation!! I learned so much and bought a bunch of new things!! I am so excited about it all!

Here is a new dress I bought. It will fit sizes from about 3-4 to probably a size 7. This is a couple of images I did of my daughter this afternoon (my favorite model) so that I could get these images online for you all to see! This outfit will also photograph really well in the studio.

I will post more images of other new things as I take them... keep your eye out!

Meet Kat!

2007-05-03T08:21:00.000-05:00

I had the honor of photographing Kat's Senior images just before I left to go out of town for a week of school, so I am a little late getting her image posted here for her!

She is a beautiful girl, and her images are going to knock the socks off of her!! I can't wait for them to see!! Here is a little sneek peak at one!

OHHHHH Lindsey!!

2007-04-17T23:27:00.000-05:00

Another Blue Bonnet Session...

2007-04-10T21:46:00.000-05:00

I received a call from a wonderful client on Friday, that had a family friend in from California. She had seen all of her images hanging on her wall of her children that I have done, and just had to come see me while they were in town!

We decided on a Blue Bonnet Session. You just don't see this in California! So, I rearranged my schedule, thanks to some other wonderful clients willing to be flexible, and we went out to my private field and made some beautiful images together!

I wanted to share some of my favorites with you, and I know these are some of their favorites too!

Thanks so much for the referral Susan, that is the best compliment I can receive from anybody!

Tiffany, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your family for this short time, I know you will enjoy these images of your girls for generations to come!

Blue Bonnet Babezzz!

2007-04-10T20:58:00.000-05:00

How sweet are these two little girls?? Just had to share them with everybody! I am having so much fun with the Blue Bonnet Sessions this year!! They are just beautiful! I wish they were like this every year, and I wish they lasted longer.

So... if you have been wanting to do this type of session, and you just have not done it.... this is the year to do it! They don't always look this good, and time is running out. I can still do some sessions next week, so don't miss out!

Meet Evan!

2007-04-08T20:07:00.000-05:00

This is Evan, and I had the pleasure of photographing him last month. We had so much fun doing a full session in the studio and then going to the park for more fun! These are some of my favorite images of him at the park. He loved seeing the Ducks and playing on the slide!

This was a surprise session for his Mother's Birthday, she is going to be so thrilled with what she is getting! She has a wonderful friend that brought him in to me, and is buying a full Session Album of a huge selection of images from the entire session. I wish I could be there to see her reaction when she opens this gift!!

Thank you Jodi for sharing him with me!

Blue Bonnet Babe!!

2007-04-05T17:01:00.000-05:00

More Than Rubies Session

2007-04-03T15:56:00.000-05:00

I teamed up with Jennifer Sanders and Susan Hurley this last holiday season and helped them out with images for their "Christmas Affair" booth. They are wonderfully talented interior designers, and wanted to try out selling fantasy dresses for little girls.

I photographed several children, including my own, and their children for all of their promotional images (as well as for wonderful portraits of our children in these beautiful dresses and tuxes!) I then gave them Gift Certificates for $150 off of a portrait order from my Studio to go on each dress they sold. I just wanted to post some images from a few of those sessions here for everybody to enjoy!

Here is a link to their website http://morethan
rubies.net/index.html I highly recommend you check them out, and be sure to let them know you heard about them here!

Fun Expressions!

2007-04-03T14:25:00.000-05:00

I love this!!! The one thing I strive for in each session is capturing your child's true personality! I want them to have fun, and I want you as the parents to have these wonderful expressions to look back on years later and remember what a joy your child was at that stage in their lives!

This particular Storyboard is available in either a 12x24 or 10x20, with your choice of level one frame, and it is included in several of our Portrait Collections. Call for more information.

Recent Engagement Session

2007-04-03T14:04:00.000-05:00

Congratulations on your engagement Amber & Scott!!

Here is a sneek peak at their images. What a fun couple to work with! I am looking forward to a long relationship with them!

Are you haveing trouble calling my office line?

2007-04-03T12:01:00.000-05:00

I have heard from some of my clients that they can not get through on my office line listed on the website. My phone has NOT BEEN DISCONNECTED!! When we moved we switched to VONAGE in order to keep the same office phone number, and ever since, we have had problems with receiving phone calls from some numbers.

I have asked Vonage to look into this, and they can not find a problem. So.... I am going to post my cell phone number so that there is an alternative number to reach me on. Please ONLY USE if you can not reach me on the office line.

Cell number 512.663.0641

Sorry if this has caused any inconvenience for any of my clients!! Hopefully the problem will be solved soon, or Time Warner will start providing service in this area and we can go back to them!

BEAUTIFUL BLUE BONNETS!!!

2007-03-28T19:54:00.000-05:00
