Spring Cleaning / Digital Negative Sale

Okay, time to make room in my office...so I'm having a sale....thru May 20th (they'll be gone after that time, I promise!)....for sale all the digital negs (all the images you were shown in your gallery)...ready to be archived for your family heirlooms or sized at 5x7 and ready to print. If you wanted more pictures from your session but just couldn't afford everything (and who can...?) this is a great opportunity to get it all.

To get all the info you'll need (cost, how to take care of your cd of images, where to print, etc) simply email me at cjzee@sbcglobal.net and I'll get back to you asap! I have edited out in the past so I can't guarantee every session in the last 8 years is still available but I will definitely check and see!

I will tell you this much...they are dirt cheap! The sale applies to all sessions done through 2008.

Cougar Crush for Cathy! {Fort Worth}

Okay, I admit it...I have a major "Cougar Crush" on Alex Ruiz, the lead singer for Del Castillo. A friend of mine introduced me to their music the week before they appeared at Main Street Arts Festival. He took me to the festival and knew someone who knew the band and I got to go backstage and meet them. I bought every cd they had and a couple of tee shirts! I believe in supporting the artists whose work you enjoy (okay it didn't hurt that they are all gorgeous and I wanted to meet them!). Alex even autographed my tee with #1 Angel...aah. I had to wipe the drool off my mouth when they were playing. My favorite song of their's is a beautiful ballad called "Castles"...there's a video on youtube but the quality is not great so check it out on Amazon for better quality. They are friends with Robert Rodriquez, the hot director/producer in Austin and Hollywood so their new video should be amazing. When its ready I'll post it here, I seem to be really into music lately. So here I am with my new favorite singer Alex....:)

A little bit of family here {Colleyville Baby Photographers}

Okay, my cousin's daughter's baby and big sister from Colleyville...not sure what that makes me to them but heck, hey're family so all's good! And the mom finds me funny so of course that makes her extra special to me...anybody that gets my sense of humor deserves free pictures or something! Her son is the cutest little chunk o' monk. I seriously don't know how she carries him...he's a hefty little guy. It's so funny how in the human and animal world the males are always so much bigger! His big sister is a bit on the dainty side...he'll probably be bigger than her in just a few years so she better get her bluff in on him now! Well, he was quite modest for his "naked baby" pictures...he's got the cutest little bum around so we got a few more in before he gets too old for me to be photographing his little hiney.

A Pair of Princesses {Southlake Childrens Photographers}

Here are some from a recent session of one of my Arlington families. It had been a few years since I last photographed them....wow! I couldn't believe how they'd grown. The time just flies and kids just grow like weeds! They were so cute and fun to work with...I think they had a good time being silly with me for the Southlake photography session, I know I did. They were a breath of fresh air during spring break in Fort Worth!

Meet the cousins {Keller Childrens Photographers}

Two cute sisters, a handsome young man and an adorable toddler...it was an awesome Keller photography session. The baby smiled for every shot which makes my job so easy, she was adorable! These sisters worked well together...got along great and seemed to really enjoy their "model" time. This young man started off a bit shy but his family and I kept working on him; actually the family kept cracking him up so I got some good smiles...what can I say? Us girls just love being photographed and some guys...not so much. I love family photography and really enjoy learning what makes each family member comfortable so that they look relaxed and confident in their pictures. I think you'll agree that these are some great portraits!

A Recent Wedding {Keller Wedding Photographer}

I haven't done too many weddings the last few years but agreed to do this one for a good friend of the family. I got to work with a friend who is also a photographer and great pack mule (he carted all the equipment around and shot the video) and my former assistant Sandy. I love working with her, she just reads my mind. I am going to start doing weddings again starting this summer so it was good to get my feet wet. So, without further ado...meet Kristi and Shawn! Their wedding was shot at a great location out by the Texas Motor Speedway and we got so lucky and had a nice, sunny and warm day (it was early March!). They were blessed on their special day by Mother Nature. And here's hoping they are blessed in their new life together!

Extreme Home Makeover - The Viewing!

Well, I said I'd post when it was airing and I'm late in getting that info on here...its going to air on Sunday evening at 7pm Central on ABC on March 1st. The Augustin family as you know from my earlier posts, are long time friends and Amber and I work on some photo shoots together...we make a great team if I say so myself! I can't wait to see it...I was there for the last two days of shooting so look for me in the crowd...I'm sure I'll be teeny tiny in the big group shot and will most likely look frozen when they did the "move that bus" part of the filming. I have seen the house but can't say anything until after the episode airs...but its awesome! Don't miss it!
