New 2011 Pricing!

Some people, okay... a lot of people would say this is bad business, however, sometimes, you have to take a step back and start from the beginning in order to get where you ultimately want to be.  DreamTree Photography has been around for over a year now, and I've had the pleasure of meeting some amazing people, many of whom, I now call, friends.  I've had the pleasure of capturing many wonderful and exciting moments in each of their lives!  I've also had the pleasure of growing not only as a creative being, but as an individual as well.  I am so very very grateful for all that I've experienced while running my own business.

I want to grow even more, and I want to do even more.  More than I've done in the past, in order to welcome the future of DreamTree.

My style is taking on new terms, and a new feel.   However, my creative brain is about to explode with all that I want incorporate into DreamTree! I hardly know what to do with myself, these days! I'm just full of pure excitement and eagerness to get things going!

Alex & Vanessa

Meet Alex and Vanessa!  
I first met these two over some grilled fajitas, rice, beans, and some salsa worthy of a brawl.

In the midst of chowing down, I remembered them mentioning they were getting married in just a few short weeks, but I hadn't realized those few short weeks were literally just around the corner.  They actually got married less than a week after our session! 

The contacted me shortly before their wedding for a last minute engagement session. It was quick planning, but somehow it all came together perfectly!  I brought some props and they brought some props, and they magically orchestrated themselves into a mini-styled session. My fave prop being their hand-written love letters to each other.  I haven't seen one of those since before the time of the electronic mailing system.  It brought back my own memories of love letters written to my husband and slipped under his pillow case or stashed quietly in his sock drawer for him to find come morning. 


I've said it and I'll say it again...
I love LOVE.
There's nothing like it, and nothing can compare!

This Week Only! | Boudoir Photography

Oh la la!

Boudoir Sale! 
One week! 
And One week ONLY!



Have a birthday coming up?  Your spouse's birthday perhaps?  Or heck, even your own?  Maybe an anniversary?  Or maybe you just wanna show off that rockin' bod you worked oh so hard for!  So, what are you waiting for?  Book your boudoir session, this week to receive 20% off your session fee as well as receive a complimentary 11x14 print of your choice! 


A little timid?  Don't be!  You're strong and you're beautiful, and what better way to remind yourself than to have your portraits done?  

Trust me.  I got my own session done originally for my hubby, but in the end, it was really for me.  I've always been fit and muscles were something I owned, but these days, the word, "fit" is hard to come by, and these days, I'm thankful for who I am, today, in this very moment.  I may not be a size 11 like I used to be or have abs to compete with a washboard, but my heart is somewhere its never been before.  I'm in love with the person I am, today, and with my "new body" image, I've come to let go of the vain thoughts or the "skinny" mentality.  I love me! And God loves me! Just the way I am!  Don't believe me?  Take a sneak peek at my very own boudoir session done this past April and photographed by the lovely Amber Strickler of Zasey Photography

Addison Logan | Part I

I had the awesomely awesome pleasure of working with local dog fashion designer, Jeanna Stone of Addison Logan.  She contacted me wanting to get together and get some new eye candy up on her soon to be new website! I, lover of all dogs, didn't even think twice to saying, "Yes!"

We set out Tuesday evening as the sun was setting, and ohhh was it gorgeous! Jeanna rounded up some of her close friends, clients, and their furry babies, and we had ourselves a dogg'on blast!
Stay tuned tomorrow for an impromptu Part II! 











^^ Jeanna Stone and her beautiful family! ^^
ps. Wonder where Jeanna got that nifty camera strap from? Stay tuned for Friday's blog to find out!

Can't forget the owners!
