Yay, we’re back in the double digit temperatures so it must be time for fall! My favorite time of the year especially as soon as it actually cools down.
Time to book your Fall Mini Session! These are short little sessions to get some updated pictures of the kids or whole family. Great to capture specific milestones for babies and toddlers (babies must be 6 months or older) or capture that missing tooth smile of your kindergartner or grade schooler and yes, even your less than willing teenager. 😉
Fall Mini Sessions will be held at a local park setting (most likely Cedar Park area). If you’d rather book a holiday themed or urban setting for your mini session, stay tuned. I will release info and available dates on those soon!
Mini sessions are 30 min long and for a family of up to 5 people. They are $350 +tax which includes 15 digital images. 20-30 images will be delivered via online gallery approx 1-2 weeks after your session. You may pick and download your 15 favorite images from there. (Files delivered are full resolution, edited images with print release). Mini Sessions are scheduled consecutively on predetermined dates and locations. Please make sure you arrive 10 min early so we have the full 30 min available to shoot.

To reserve your spot, please shoot me a note for an updated list of available dates and open times to info@tictactoephotography.com

Available Fall Mini Session Dates:

Saturday 09/29 morning

Sunday 09/30 evening

Sunday 10/14 morning and evening

Saturday 10/27 morning

 

May is for Mothers

Motherhood is one of the most incredible experiences in life but can also be the most challenging. If you are a mom, you know what I mean.
I love photographing a mother’s connection with her child. There’s no stronger bond that literally last a lifetime. I also know that moms can be so hard on themselves, always putting everyone else before their needs.
They take a million pictures to document their child’s every move and milestone. I can’t recount how many kids sessions I have photographed and in most instances when I tried to lure mom into some of the pictures, she declined because…she’s not wearing makeup, her hair needs to be done, she wants to loose some weight first…[insert any other excuse here]
I’m guilty of that, being behind the camera is comforting. ANYTHING your kids do is cute and worth remembering. Here’s the thing though, if mom is in none of the pictures, will she be remembered? Will we remember the impact she had on her kids, the love she had for them, the way she hugged her baby boy so tight, the way she made made her girls giggle like no other with a private joke. All this is worth remembering and worth capturing too. And we’ve got to do this not just for our children but for us. It’s part of your legacy, part of what you work so hard for every day to make sure you raise some incredible humans. Moms work so hard 365 days a year, no days off, no pay so I think they deserve more than just one special day a year.
So for the whole month of May I am offering our “Mommy and Me” mini sessions special!!
It is $250 +tax. This includes a 30 min mini session for Mom and her children. You will get 25+ beautifully edited images in your private online proofing gallery. From there you can pick 10 full resolution images which will be delivered via digital download.
To book or inquire about further details, available dates and times please contact me at info@tictactoephotography.com or 512-415-4683.
This special is valid through May 31, 2018. (Session must be booked and paid by that date. Actual session has to be completed within 6 months from time of booking.)
Mother’s Day Gift certificates available!!

Mini Sessions are 30 min long for a family of up to 5 people. (Babies must be at least 6 month old) I never want us to feel rushed though so I am allowing for some transition time between sessions.

Once I’ve confirmed a date and time slot for you, 50% of the session fee is due to hold your spot.

Bluebonnet Mini Sessions

Spring is my all time favorite season! All this fresh green and blooms and wildflowers everywhere, plus the temperatures are still bearable. What’s not to like? Well, maybe all the pollen in the air, I can’t wait for this oak to finish spewing yellow dust all over everything.

So anyways, with Spring comes wildflower and specifically bluebonnet season!!!

The mini sessions are $250 (plus tax), you will get a 30 min session and will be able to view your online gallery of 15-25 edited images within 7-10 days from your shoot. From those proofs you can pick 10 images that you will receive via digital download so you can use and print them right away. Or if you prefer, I have professional prints and print products available trough my lab. Please inquire for pricing and options.Mini sessions are booked for consecutive time slots and will be held at a predetermined location in the Austin area. Most likely North Austin/Cedar Park unless I get inquiries for other locations.

ttt-fall-minis-2016

Hey there, Spring! You got here a little early but we don’t mind one bit. Wow, the bluebonnets are out early this year, like a whole 2 weeks early, maybe more. No wonder the mild winter has confused us all, the temperatures this past week were insane! Pretty fantastic weather for spring break!

So just like that one of my favorite times of the year is here. With it, carpets of our beloved bluebonnets are emerging and I am finding myself scrambling to fit in some open dates for bluebonnet mini sessions, earlier than expected. These mini sessions are popular every year so if you are thinking of doing a session, don’t wait. No guarantees how long the flowers will stick around. They obviously have a mind of their own.

Due to limited open weekend dates this year I am doing things a little differently. I will be offering two types of mini sessions, weekday minis and weekend minis.

The weekend mini sessions are still $325 with tax and include a 30 min session for up to 5 people, each additional person is a $25 add-on. You will get 20 or so fully edited proofs delivered to you through an online gallery from which you can choose 10 digital files with full print release.

The weekday mini sessions will be the same as the weekend minis but will be discounted to $275 (tax included), so if you’ve got flexibility during the week, here’s your chance to save!

Open dates are still a moving target so please contact me at info@tictactoephotography.com for a full list of available dates. I will be holding sessions throughout the greater Austin area depending on demand for a certain area and available bluebonnet patches. I do not shoot on the side of roads or highways due to safety concerns for your little ones. Spring_BB Mini Sessions Promo 2016 copy

October and November are prime months and with a bit of luck and some cooler nights coming our way we may even see some fall colors soon.

We are starting to do fall mini sessions next week. So check out these dates and get on the schedule, these dates will fill up quickly!
Oct. 10th morning or evening
Oct. 17th morning
Oct. 18th morning or evening
Oct 24th evening
Oct 25th morning

Fall Minis 2015 1800px

Happy Fall Y’all!! Don’t you love the cool fall breeze and that feeling of the holiday season just around the corner? I do. It’s my favorite time of the year!

With fall also comes one of the busiest times of the year though. One that we all could use a little help with. Well, I’d like to help you out by getting one thing checked off your list, getting some fun new family photos for your holiday cards and so you can appease the grand parents and relatives with updated pictures 😉

Fall is the perfect time to get some new family photos done! We have a few October and November mini session dates left. After these are gone my schedule is booked except for the occasional mid-week morning or evening session slot. So don’t wait, grab a spot while you can!

Available dates:

Oct 18th (morning)

Oct 25th (morning)

Oct 26th (evening)

Nov 15th (morning)

Mini sessions are 30 min long for up to 5 family members and are $350 (+tax). Each add. person is +$25. You will receive 10 fully edited full resolution images on CD with print release and  a Facebook timeline cover photo. Mini Sessions are scheduled consecutively back-to-back for either morning or evening times. Time slots are reserved on a “first come first serve” basis. The shooting location will vary and be determined closer to the actual session date. I take preferences and driving distances into account when choosing locations. Most fall sessions are done in a natural like setting.

Holiday Minis 2014

Happy Friday to you! I am sure everyone is aware that this Sunday is Mother’s Day.

As a mom myself I know that this day is kinda important on the scale of various holidays throughout the year.

ONE day, to not be in charge of dinner, or laundry or feeding the kids 3 meals a day – and various snacks in between, helping with home work, cleaning up whatever mess just happened to land on floor… Moms do their “job” with love and selflessness all year and really don’t expect much in return. Little gestures like handmade cards and drawings from the kids, mean so much. I truly treasure them all.

Every time I hug my kids I wish I could hold on to that moment forever, make time stand still. They just grow up way too fast. I am pretty sure every mom feels that way. So here’s an idea that will make her day – give her lasting memories by gifting a photo session. Just mom and the kids. Let’s capture that love and bond that is stronger and deeper than anything I could ever imagine. Let’s give mom a moment in time that time actually stands still.

If you would like to gift this session for Mother’s Day I can e-mail you a printable gift certificate. Please contact me ASAP for details. The Mommy & Me Mini Sessions will be available until the end of May. Sessions need to be scheduled before September 1, 2014.

Have you seen them? They are finally popping up all over the place. I’m talking about bluebonnets, of course! Spring is finally here and warmer temps are in the forecast (Is it just me or did this “winter” feel longer than normal? Must have been all those ice days!)

Speaking of ice though, apparently, between the relatively wet fall and the icy temps we had over the winter, things are setting up nicely for our beloved Texas bluebonnets. (This is by the official wildflower experts forecast, not that I know how any of this plays into it.) Interestingly enough it seems that especially the bluebonnets come back around in full force every two years. 2010 and 2012 were both stellar years, so in theory, this year should be a good one. So anyways, good news, we should have a pretty good year for bluebonnets and Texas wildflowers in general. I’ve located at least one pretty good patch and I’ve seen plenty driving around town along the usual highways.

With that said, I’ve made some room on my calendar to schedule a few rounds of spring mini sessions.

Available dates are:

Sunday, March 30th morning

Saturday, April 5th morning

Sunday, April 13th morning

Location for the spring  mini sessions will be determined a few days before based on where the best patches are. If you see good wildflower patches in your area, let me know. Safety is always my out most priority, I will not do photo sessions along major highways or roads.

Bluebonnets are only around for 2-3 weeks depending on weather conditions.

If you would like to book a slot please contact me at info@tictactoephotography.com to inquire about open time slots.
