Thank you for stopping by my blog. It's been a great year!

Wow, Wow, Wow.

After reading this blog entry http://dooce.com/2007/12/13/because-i-couldnt-say-it-phone
all I can say is DITTO and AMEN!
Give it a read.

I need your help!

ETA: I submitted image 1, 4, and 12. Thank you so very much for all of your help! I actually have comments ;-)

I am going to enter a photography contest put on by this amazing photographer http://jeshderoxweddings.blogspot.com/
Here are the 2 categories I would like to enter in:
1) experiential imagery (ei): images that make you feel something, inviting the viewer to experience the moment.

2) connection (c): images that feature the beautiful connections between us.

Please view the following photos and pick the top 3 that grab you. Leave your choices in the comments section, or shoot me an email at saramoonphotography@gmail.com
I really appreciate your help!! (By the way, I could have posted a ton of images - so don't be upset if I didn't choose one of your family. These are the ones I had handy and not archived already!) Deadline is Friday morning.

Session available for Sunday

I've had a cancellation for Sunday December 16th. If anyone wants some last minute Christmas photos - email me!

More of my favorite repeat clients.
Aiden is all energy all the time. But dang it he's so cute.
Emma isn't bad herself ;-) Little beauty! I last photographed her at around 2 weeks and wowsers, little ones grow fast.

This shoot rocked

Julie's (the mom) smile lit up the entire city of Houston. She must have been a former model. Gorgeous inside and out, too.
Albert (the dad) was totally into the shoot. Some dads are a bit less than excited...
Ethan was adorable.
The result? They had a gajillion beautiful shots of happiness. Pure happiness.

Some more returning clients - love them

Couldn't ask for 2 cuter kiddos...or nicer parents ;-)

2 artsy pics

These are from a wedding I shot last weekend. I like them.

Our Family Holiday Card

Here's my little family. I love them.

Can't deny she's a cutie - love that hair!

But oh my. Watch this.

Mouth Agape

I'm attending a workshop next summer put on by a fabulous photographer and even more fabulous person, Cheryl Muhr. www.cherylmuhr.com

Anyhoo, I had originally signed up for the same workshop set for Feb because my absolute favorite photographer in the world, Jinky, is guest teaching. I was all set to go, pregnant or not, but my obstetrician said no way. I'll be 36 weeks pregnant...phooey.

So, I saw on Jinky's blog today that she and Cheryl are doing joint family photo sessions. Check out this link and get a gander at the price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy Guacamole. Probably worth every penny, but it'll send you to the poorhouse!

I read her "about" page and then had to spread the word. I requested a Christmas present from her Etsy shop, the link below is her website.

I think I ordered the "bangle necklace". You can pick your color/herb and word combination.

Buy handmade and avoid corporate America as much as you can ;-)

Just get a load of the clothes! And the first pic with the pigtails!! To die for.

Great ideas for what to wear

I am a huge fan of the photographer I am about to link you to. She is a stud in the industry and I took her workshop early last year. Her clients are always wearing super funky, colorful clothing which makes for great pictures. Go take a peek and drool over the images...one day...one day.
