Back again slowly but surely!

Most of you know I was sick and exhausted the beginning of September. I took some time off and my doctor has told me I could resume my schedule if I take it slow. I am only booking in seven day increments and I am just about booked for the holidays. First choices went to those people who I was not able to do in September. As I hear back from them I will know what dates are available.

I have the coolest Christmas cards around! I am proud to offer eight new cards ~ they are stunning! I will present examples and pricing within the next couple of weeks. I am very excited! (Can you tell?) This feeling comes close to the Science center I am creating for my classroom...(well almost!)

For your information~ my sitting fees are now $ 65.00 which includes a family of five. Please allow for add ons for more people and a distance which exceeds ten miles.

I have some great captures to share with you as soon as I am done editing.
Hope you are having a great weekend! Shirley Harris

Beautiful family

This family has been very patient! I took their photos two weeks ago and shortly after got very sick. Anyway, I am feeling better and here is a sneak preview of the beautiful family!
Dang these are good ~ but who gets the credit? The beautiful family or the oh so talented photog! I know, I know ~ they do...darnit!

it's late!

I just finished my TWU homework ~ it was alot! I have not updated my blog and I know several of you are waiting for sneak previews. I had strep throat this weekend and it really slowed me down. I had too much to do to take the down time I needed so I apologize that I am behind.

Here is our church band the Morning Song. They are doing a FREE concert November 1st in our new church building on Old Denton Road. They are wonderful and so entertaining. I for one will be there and hope you will too! I hear it won't even be church music although I love when they sing that as well. Here are some of the photos they got to choose from for their advertising.

Have a great week!

Teaching!

I am now into my second week of teaching. It is so much fun! The kids are great and I am working on my classsroom mangagement skills. Every day I see an improvement. We are learning and doing so much!

Calls are coming in for the fall. I am so honored. I absolutely am so crazy for photography ~ however, I do think I have found more balance in my life. I love being home on the weekends because I am not flying anymore for Delta, I love doing my once a week photo shoots, and my family is thrilled I am not sitting on the computer in my pajamas all day editing photos but rather getting dressed and going to work. The best part is I am home to meet the bus each day.

Now the downside! My two classes at Texas Woman's are very consuming! I love what I am learning but I just do not feel I have that much time in the day to get it all done! A little stressful but I just keep telling myself it is this semester and then one more class and finally my Masters. I sometimes cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel. I know it is there but it can be dim.

Okay, I know a couple of you keep checking for sneak previews. I shot a church band and a new baby session. I am excited to begin editing them. They were fun shoots!

Have a great week~ Shirley
