Christmas Time is Near

I am so excited! I actually get to decorate for Christmas this year, and I couldn't be more pumped!! I might have gone a little over-board... I got matching wrapping paper, lights, and ornaments. It's pretty ridiculous! Here's what I'm working with this year.

The Ladies of Pink West Salon

If you've never heard of Pink Salon... you've been hiding under a rock! It was previously located in the mecca of Austin on South Congress, but has recently moved out to the beautiful hills of Dripping Springs. I know it's a ways out there, but trust me... it's well worth the trip!! I drive out there for hair and skin services on a regular basis and am a better woman because of it!

I have been working with the ladies at Pink West salon on their website for a while now and it's almost 100% ready! All that was missing were a few photographs of each girl... So, I went out there this week and this is what I came up with!







This is Ms. Deborah Carter, Owner and Hair Dresser Extraordinaire!


This beautiful lady is Carrie Napiorkowski, Pink's fabulous Aesthetician. She will beautify your skin like no other! She is offering a fantastic promo for my brides! Click here to check out details!!


And, last but definitely not least... Ms. Noelle Mastelotto. This gorgeous doll is an amazing makeup artist and hair dresser. (She also does the hair and makeup for my boudoir sessions... she pretty much rocks!)


If you are in need of a make over, skin therapy, a new stylist, amazing product or just some good girl time... I would highly suggest making a trip out their way!

I absolutely fell in love with Amanda and Brian. The love they have for each other left me in awe. You can definitely tell they are each others best friend! I wish you guys nothing but the best!


This hanger was too cute! One of the bridesmaids found it on www.etsy.com.




About to have their first glance...










Amanda ... you are stunning!




I sometimes forget how beautiful our capitol is...


A little rain never hurt anyone... especially not these two! They were troopers!








Amanda's brothers were showing us their best "Mick Jagger". Genius!


These two had some impressive moves of their own.

Skin Care in Dripping Springs

Hey ladies (and guys too... ) ! I have a great offer for you!! Carrie Napiorkowski with Pink West in Dripping Springs is a state licensed aesthetic instructor and therapeutic aesthitician with an extensive background in medical aesthetics. All that to say.... she's a rockin' skin therapist! If you are in need of some skin services, she is a great way to go!

Carrie has offered some amazing promotions for my clients and I want to share it with you here!

Get $30 off a Dermaplaning session! This is a great deal. If you don't know what dermaplaning is... click HERE! I had the procedure done and it made my skin so smooth. It's the perfect procedure to have right before your bridal portraits or wedding day to help your makeup glide on effortlessly. It exfoliates without irritating your skin.

She is also offering $30 off Back Treatments. This is another great procedure to have before your wedding day... especially if your dress shows off your gorgeous back!

And, the Big Daddy promotion is a day of skin therapy and lunch for $200. You can get both treatments listed above, a full body ionic detoxification and lunch from the yummy Thyme & Dough (trust me... the lunch is worth it on it's own! I love that place!)

Contact Carrie today to set up your session! Make sure you tell her I sent you so you get your promotion!! Enjoy!

Wedding: Eric & Deena

Date: November 7, 2009
Venue: DunVegan Keep
Austin, Texas

Deena sure does know how to work it!


These ladies were gorgeous!!






The first time Eric saw his beautiful bride.


I mean... isn't this breath-taking!?!






This bridal party had some attitude! I dig it. And, I just noticed... it looks like little miss bridesmaid on the left lost a leg in this shot. No worries... she did leave this wedding with ALL limbs in tow.








These ladies were crazy-cool!




Yeah.... I know... awesome...
