My good friend from back home is a wonderful wedding photographer and is taking a limited number of out of town bookings to cover weddings in HOUSTON!

Bring her here - maybe we will convince her to stay! **Plus she promised I could be her "gear chick" for the day :)

Announcing Price List Updates...

2009-01-16T19:41:00.002-06:00

Life's Images has updated the price list for 2009.

You will be happy to find that while there are some upward adjustments, some prices actually went DOWN and some new items added, mainly to focus on the highly requested "digital image".
For the first time there are packages available as well!

If you'd like to book your session using 2008 prices (including the lower 2008 session fee), you may "lock" your rate in by making a deposit for your session by January 31st. The session need not be booked in that time, but your deposit must be paid.

Contact me with any questions! debi @ lifesimages.com

Happy New Year! Hope Calendar updates!

2008-12-28T09:57:00.006-06:00

Happy New Year!!!

The Hope Calendar campaign to raise funds for Montgomery County Women's Center is still going on - thru the end of January and I am so happy to report early success! On the last day of 2008, I made a quiet donation of $3000 for the first half of the money raised!

We have at least a thousand more but the wonderful volunteers helping to sell them are patiently collecting that money to turn it in at the end of the month and we will donate it then.

If you haven't already (or if you need more) - please visit www.hopecalendar.com and purchase a 2009 calendar... it is an adorable calendar, only $10 each, and the entire proceeds are donated to the women's center :)

Let's see how much we can write that second check for!!!

Merry Late Christmas!

2008-12-28T09:54:00.002-06:00

Sorry I am late with Christmas wishes ;) We had a great time visiting family and are starting to think about cleaning up and putting away the holiday decor... thinking
Wouldn't it be great if you could just leave it out all year - it'd really make July festive!

OK - I asked for funny and you played along - thank you so much. I'll tell you what made me spit Coke (you owe me a keyboard) is the comment to the post above this one in which I initially said "It's 724 pounds and on its way here!" to which my quick witted reader said "is it your MIL?" I love my MIL BUT that just caught me in the funny bone! And no it wasn't my MIL, it was 2000 of the Hope Calendars :)
