It has been quite a while since I’ve done a product post of any kind so I thought I’d give you guys a glimpse into some fun changes I’ve made recently with packaging. Ain’t it pretty? My clients often tell me they feel like they’re getting a gift when they get their products, which is exactly how I want them to feel! Now they get even prettier and better protected gifts!
I’ll try to squeeze in some more product posts for you in the future!

If you’re in the area, you should check out Bonfet!, a local art and music studio! I had so much fun dropping in for this birthday party to do some studio photos for them. The kids were having so much fun painting (and the parents were having fun relaxing). They really did such a great job. It was fun seeing the kids’ creativity and their personal touches. Bonfet! also offers all kinds of other party options and private lessons. Check out their site or like their Facebook page to keep up on class schedules.

This last weekend, Christ Church School had their annual Gala which I was fortunate enough to be a part of for the second year in a row. Last year I was part of the silent auction, and this year I was so excited to donate to the live auction. The winner got a full premium session, a custom designed 10×10 album, a disc of digital negatives from their session, and a 20×24 mounted print.
Here are a few photos before the event. I’m so impressed by the men and women who put it all together (special shout out to my friend Kristy!). It’s so much work to put an event like this together, and it always looks so beautiful. And as you can see, there were some live fuzzy cuties being auctioned as well.
For my display, I had a 20×30 fine art gallery wrap and a 12×12 custom designed album.

Temple is a small(ish) town surrounded by huge cities, and I constantly hear people talking about going to Austin or Dallas to get their culture fix. But pretty soon, that will be easy enough right here in town.
Enter: Art by the Glass.
When you attend Art by the Glass, you get to begin and finish a painting all in one night, taught expertly by the unbelievably, incredibly talented and skilled (I can’t emphasize this enough) Geoff Kilgore. Bring some wine, eat some good food, and create a work of art all in one night.
I love that this is a class for self-professed artists and non-artists alike. Their sign is so great: “No talent required”. Sounds like my kind of painting class! They’ll even be hosting kids’ birthday parties!
Co-owners and operators, Geoff Kilgore and Stacy Brocker, have created a beautiful and relaxing studio for Art by the Glass, and classes open to the public will be starting in a matter of weeks! Having witnessed their first class, I can tell you this is not something you should miss! I was truly honored to be involved in this project in any way and was so thrilled to take photos for their website and marketing.
Anyway, I’ll get you more information as soon as they’re up and running and I can get MY hands on more information. Meanwhile, enjoy these photos! Don’t you want to just jump in and start painting? I know I do!
Meet the owners!

I was invited to donate a photo session to this year’s Spring Gala to raise funds for Christ Church School located in downtown Temple. I was thrilled to accept, especially since my friend Kristy’s son goes to the school and she worked her butt off organizing it and making the whole thing come to life. I was so bummed I couldn’t be there for the actual event (I so wanted to see everyone in their “cocktail attire with a Texas twist”), but I’m still glad I could contribute to their silent auction. And from what I heard, the night was an amazing success!
Kristy allowed me to sneak in before the event to take some photos. Luckily I got there before there was an ATV sitting in front of my little display area. I mean, really, how could anyone compete with that? Ha! Congratulations, Kristy! You did a beautiful job. Now go treat yourself to something extravagant now that it’s over!
My friend, Stacy, also donated a custom charcoal portrait for the silent auction. She is unbelievably talented, so I had to show off her work as well! Take a look at this portrait. The detail of the eyes… wow! Contact her for your custom charcoal portrait order!
