{Announcing......}

Marie Q Photography is now conveniently located in the historic downtown square in Waxahachie next door to Mosaic Madness!!

I'm thrilled to announce that I will be opening my new lifestyle studio this week. A new concept for Waxahachie and surrounding areas, the lifestyle studio will be unlike anything else around. My goal has always been to capture more than a moment in time, but to tell a story, to capture the soul, to truly give you life unposed. To accomplish this, we have found a great location with the original wood floors that tell a story on its own. We have gone out and hand selected some furnishings to give the images taken here a home or loft feel. Both images in this post were taken at the new location. And I have to boast, that I am just in love with the natural light available in the studio. Let's be real here, we don't walk around living our lives followed by backdrops and studio lights. Though I have these tucked away in the back of the studio for occasions that warrant their use, I plan to use them very little.

The studio was a big step for me, since I am such a big fan of the outdoor portrait - especially in our charming Waxahachie. I have chosen to continue to offer both the outdoor and lifestyle studio sessions or a combo of the two for a $50 session fee. My true love is to photograph outside or even on location at your own home - as these sessions capture real life. The studio also serves as a meeting place to review and pick up your images. If you have been to my house in the past month, you may have noticed that I was outgrowing my dining room!

I'll keep you posted on the blog regarding events. Also, sign up for the newsletter to find out about promotions, coupons and special events. I can tell you we are planning on setting up a pumpkin patch for October and having Santa at Christmas. Stay tuned for details.

{I can't wait}

I went and played today. I took my daughter and did some test shots at a new location. I have plenty of images of my daughter smiling... especially with her new lost tooth. But this one speaks to me. She is such a drama queen.

At night when she dreams.... she rides.

When I showed my daughter this image she said, "but you can't see my face"

An artist's work is never appreciated.

Be good!

{Grandview}

After weeks of postponing this session due to weather... WE FINALLY DID IT!!!!!! A short drive took me somewhere new - Grandview. I was able to meet some locals unexpectedly when I knocked on some doors hoping to meet this family. I was greeted and welcomed like an old acquaintance at BOTH houses. When I finally made it to the right one - I was so happy to see just how picturesque their house was. A historic home, a rustic white picket fence, a wonderful porch. It made me want to move in!

That first image could very well be my favorite. Sometimes it's not about smiles and giggles - sometimes it's about capturing the soul. What a little beauty she is.

{Gail has mail}

What a crazy week of weather here in Texas. I'm considering trading in the car for a jet ski. This rain has me re-scheduling left and right. I am so anxious to go out and take my camera outside. It wants the sunshine!!!

I know the blog has been slow lately. My mind has been really processing this photography bug I have. My website is only about a year old and I am looking into getting a new one. I'm talking out loud about actually getting a studio (I haven't really shared that with anyone). All grand ideas now...but I hope one day it will be a reality. In the meantime... be on the lookout for a blog face lift in the next couple of weeks. I may even be jumping off of blogger and using a new service.

Be good!
