pink is the new green.
July 15th, 2008 , Posted in announcement, just for fun
You may have noticed a push to go greener with my business over the last several months. From moving into digital files and online proofing (less travel, less pollution, less paper) to creating online brochures and info packets to trying to reduce the amount of printing/paper I use in general—well, I don’t know if it’s the pregnancy talkin’, but I sure like the idea of cleaning up this place just a little bit more. I’m not claiming that I’m going to save the world here with just little ol’ me, but they always say every little bit helps, right?
Now, I’m thrilled to introduce my new *pink*green bags. (I’m such a geek!) Instead of packaging your CD’s and products in paper or plastic bags that typically get tossed, I will be delivering your Pinkle treats in these nifty little reuseable *pink*green bags. I’ve recently gotten into the habit of using green bags myself and I just LOVE it.
Want more?
Of course, I had to invest in a large number of bags and I don’t think I’m going to need them all. So, if you’re in the Austin area and would like some of these cool *pink*green bags, you can nab a set of 5 for $10 + tax (free shipping). To all my previous clients: I’ll add in an extra free bag with your order. This is less than cost, but I don’t care. I want these to see some use!
A contest!
And, to help get you into the habit of using these bags, I propose a little deal:
1. If I see you out in public USING your *pink*green bag(s), I will waive the Creative Fee for an ‘09 Pinkle Toes photo session.
2. Or, e-mail me a pic of you (or the kiddos or significant other) in a public place USING your *pink*green bag(s) and you’ll get $10 off an ‘09 Pinkle Toes session for EACH *pink*green being used (up to $100).
Easy as pink pie.
A little tip: the trick is *remembering* to take the bags into the store with you. I started keeping mine in the passenger seat of my car. I rarely forget now.
Terms and Conditions
- offer and contest good through 12/31/08 OR while supplies last
- prizes valid 3/09-12/09
- prizes are not transferable or redeemable for cash
- one photo entry per household
- one prize per household
- offer valid in Austin area only.
Please let me know if you have any questions and good luck to ya!
For fun
While we’re on the subject of pink, we should find out soon what we’re having…

Did some work today with these fabulous ladies of Vivid Design Group. I was so drawn to the vivid colors of their website and was so excited to see that come to life in their wardrobe choices for today’s shoot.

The title says it all. And you’d think so even more if you knew this little one just drove in from CA (with her family) yesterday and was operating on very little sleep in a very new environment. I was amazed at what she gave us considering the circumstances. Just a beautiful child!
Selective coloring isn’t my most favorite thing to do in the world, but I thought it was pretty cool for this image. Reminds me of “Through the Looking Glass.”
My fav!
This turned out to be the perfect way to end the session. She LOVED her little bath!

Oh, this little one was sooooooo adorable! I don’t know what it is, though, but lately, I’ve had a whole string of wide awake newborns. Baby girl didn’t fall asleep once…but we can pretend she did.
Remember mom’s maternity session? Check back in a few months for her next session in “Baby’s First Year.” Thanks, A and family for yet another fun and beautiful session!

I have to admit I was a little nervous meeting up in this small Texas town, but wow! I couldn’t believe how many great little spots there were all in one little place. Well, the fun, relaxed, and ADORABLE couple with baby boy on the way sure didn’t hurt either.
Love.
So, a train came by when we were there. I had to try my hand at some motion blur. So fun!
Thanks you two (three?) for such a great, no fuss session. You all look great and I can’t wait to introduce baby C on the blog next month!
Oh…one more thing…check out my new PINK biz cards. I absolutely LOVE them:

Just got back from our favorite little family vacation spot. Silly me, but I think it’s so cool to have an annual trip and visit the same place every year. This is our 6th year and even before that, my hubby and I visited this place when we were still in college. It hasn’t changed much at all. And I like that. Pretty much the only things that have changed over the years are 1. The size of my belly and 2. The size of our family. All I could think of this time around was that next year, there will be three kids. THREE kids!!!!! Oh. My. Dog.
An endless supply of sand and H2O AND a real front-end loader. It was like all of his Christmases had come at once.
My little L chasing “sea otters.”
Thanks to my sis for snapping this family pic for us!
This is my sis. And my cute little mommy.
Anyway, it’s going to take me a little bit of time to return all of your calls and e-mails, but hopefully, I’ll have all my t’s crossed and i’s dotted by the end of the week. Happy 4th, everyone!
sigh.

It is very rare that I do something like this because light, circumstances, etc. change so much that it usually doesn’t work, but in this case? All I can say is, “…sigh.”
Tee hee.
Aren’t they all just STUNNING???!!!! Thanks you three for a great session today and working so hard to tough it out in the warmth and guests and leaky bottles. I’d say it was well worth it.

Baby still didn't know whether it wanted to hang with the boys or try something new...after watching the movie with us, it decided girls night out was so much fun that she needed to be a part of it. I am thrilled for you and Virge...you'll especially see a big change in him. Girls and their Daddy's (and vice versa) are just something special...you'll see. We must celebrate!!!!
