Merry Christmas

The silly folks standing out in the snow with no jackets, pretending not to be cold, while Mark took the picture would like to take this time to wish all of our family, friends, customers and associates a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday. Be safe!

Gobble, Gobble

Little Miss Aubrey

We have never had a challenge we could not meet. Aubrey almost got us but in the end, Mark conquered! Her mom had been trying to have her photographed for quite sometime. Our awesome client, Elvira, suggested they come to us. After much, singing, playing, bribery and chase we captured these amazing images. Aubrey's mom was amazed. Mom also now has her first grandchild because Aubrey calls her Grandma and has mom wrapped around her little finger!

North Shore 10, Katy 6...wow!!

What can I say? I think Friday's game is definitely going in the books for a true nail biter. Sold out stadium, standing room only, folks begging for tickets, some NS fans having to sit on the Katy side! I have never had more fun at a football game than the "I-10 Showdown" as I have named it. It was better than any playoff game I have been to and trust me I have been to many in the last decade thanks to the amazing boys that comprise the powerhouse of a football team at North Shore.

I saw many alumni from all graduating classes and my wonderful Class of 89 was represented well as some of us sat together and cheered like there was no tomorrow!

A special "thank you" to all our boys who came in this summer for pictures and said "don't worry about the game, we plan to make you proud!" Boy did they ever. And not to slight Katy, they are a great program. We simply are greater!

Above are a few pictures from the game taken by Cindy Rial. Thank goodness for her because I could not even aim, much less shoot our camera with all the yelling and jumping up and down I did!

Waiting for Jayden

What an amazing time we had during this session. For someone who used to love the high key (white) lighting, my favorite has now become low key lighting which is darker and more dramatic. Mommy and Daddy were pretty much up for any ideas we had and loved the images produced. Can't wait for Jayden to make his appearance!

Thomas' Session

I do not think there are words to describe the crazy session we had with Thomas. In fact, what happens in the camera room, stays in the camera room!

Willie and the Girls

This was such a fun session. Patrica came to know us through my sister Anne-Marie. She called and said I need to come in for my mother's day present, but I want it to be different. After a few of the standard posed images, we just let Wilie and the girls be themselves. Patrica loved the final results. Here are just a few of our favorites!

North Shore Yearbook Mailer

The studio constantly calling you from Pasadena is NOT the yearbook photographer as many of you have told us they are saying. Only OUR portraits are able to appear in the official Senior section of the NSSH yearbook.

Some of you may remember Angel from one of our first postings. Well, this time around we have his Baptism portraits. I cannot believe how much he has grown in a few short months.
