Well, that line is probably more directed toward myself ;-). In spite of my careful planning, everything seemed to hit all at the same time AND I’m back to full-time mommy status until the kids start pre-school next month, so I’m so very behind right now. (Makes me *really* appreciate everything the hubs did for us when he was out for the summer.)
So, for those of you waiting for an e-mail response or a proof set or design work, please know that I haven’t forgotten about you, I’m just trying to dig myself out from under this mountain of “to do’s” right now.
(This pic is an oldie from last spring, but I like it.)
That is how many openings I have left for the rest of 2008.
Wow.
Craziness.
Please visit www.pinkletoes.com and check out the “availability” section to see when those openings are.
By the way, that little design up there is a also a sneak peek of one of the holiday card designs I’ve put together for this season. Isn’t it groovy? I can change all the colors, too. I might actually use it for our cards this year!

It’s easier this way.
You won’t have to miss anything.
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…
Please excuse the lack of lots of pics in this post, but I wanted to get this information out quickly.I have about 12 openings left for sessions for the remainder of 2008, so if you were planning on a session this year, you’ll want to book as soon as possible. Don’t wait! (A session is not secured until the creative fees are paid in full.)
Also, as I get closer to my due date, I only be taking certain sessions simply because I’m afraid I won’t be able to roll on the ground and chase after toddlers like I normally like to do. Please visit the calendar section at www.pinkletoes.com to see available sessions for 2008.
If you have any questions, just let me know and I hope you all are staying cool this HOT, HOT, HOT summer!
Yes, it’s true. We will become a family of 5 (oh, wow, I can barely fathom) in late Nov/early Dec. It was quite a shock to us as we were perfectly content with our 2 little boys, but I think it’s a cool surprise…especially for someone like me who is a Type A planner. So, life is going to be a little different, but we are very excited. I’m especially excited to have a new subject who won’t be able to run from my camera for at least a year ;-).
The morning sickness has knocked me for a loop this time around and I’m hoping for a reprieve sometime soon. I figured finally coming clean would help me feel a little better about this crazy roller coaster. My sincerest apologies for being a bit slower than usual in my e-mails and return phone calls to everyone. Hopefully, I’ll turn the corner soon and get that burst of energy everyone promises in the 2nd trimester. I will say that with a due date right at the peak of the holiday season, I’m definitely going to have to work something else out for fall/holiday sessions, so stay tuned until I figure out exactly what that will be ;-). I can’t imagine rolling around on the ground like I like to do at 7-8 mos. pregnant. Wouldn’t that be a hoot?????
On that note, I *am* in the market for a birth photographer (another planned homebirth) so if you’re an Austin photographer who’d like to spend a fun-filled day with us sometime in Dec, please give me a call. I’d love to talk to you.
So, there you have it. Thanks so much to all of my clients who’ve been oh-so-patient with me as I’ve fumbled my way through the morning sickness. Oh, and thanks to my son’s pre-school teacher for the neat-o cupcake featured in the picture. Would you believe it’s NOT real? It’s soap/bath fizz????!!!!!! She gifted several of these to me and I’ve been dying for a chance to blog them. Thank you so much, sweetie!
Okay, I’m off to bed now. (What else is new?). Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
So excited to see this little article on Pinkle Toes Birth Photography in Austin Kidbits this morning! And a very Happy Belated Birthday to Baby C in the photo above (and in the Kidbit). I can’t believe it was a little over year ago that you came into this world with lightning speed!!!! (Your mama was a champ!!!)
I’m not sure you’ll ever quite know how much it means to me that you take the time to #1. Visit the blog and #2. Leave a comment or send me an e-mail. I know we’re all so busy in our daily lives. Thanks so much for carving out a little room for me and my camera every so often.
Side note: I’m taking a mini photography sabbatical this week. My dear online friend Andrea with Pink Sugar Photography (prepare to be blown away) is coming all the way down from Canada for a visit. We’re attending a photography workshop together this week, so I will be out of commission for a while. I’ll respond to all of your e-mails, phone calls as soon as I recover.
