Loved shooting this cute little guy!  He was definitely a happy baby and made my job super easy!

Kaufman Mini Marathon!

I just want to give a big THANKS again for my mini sessions!  You guys rocked and I had so much fun with everyone!  Here's a few more from that very windy day!

I love when I get to photograph my dear friends!  Even though we almost got blown away during the session, we had a really good time!  Enjoy!

Christmas Mini Special!!!

It's that time of year again, time to get all bundled up in warm clothes, drink lots of hot chocolate, and stress out because Christmas is right around the corner!  Money is tight on everyone this year so I've decided to run a Christmas Mini Special!  It's $50 for a 30 minute session and you get 10 images on a CD for unlimited printing.  I will be holding them in a couple of different towns this year, Kaufman, Forney, Dallas, and possibly a few more!

Available spots for the Kaufman mini start at 8:30 a.m. and run through 11:00 a.m..

(And yes, that is an old logo! lol)

Am I coming to your town?  No you say?!  That's outrageous!!!  BUT, if you can help me get at least 3 separate sessions booked in your town then I will be there!

I will also be accepting payments via PayPal.

To book your session or for more info, you can e-mail me at j.lynnphotography@yahoo.com.

Crayon Love

Happy Wednesday everyone!  So the project I'm posting today is inspired by Pinterest and my mom!  She's a teacher and a darn good one I might add! ; )  I wanted to make her something she could hang on her door or in her classroom.  Below are the step-by-step instructions on how I made my Crayon Heart, super easy!

First, you will need three boxes of crayons, a cardboard heart-shaped box (I got mine at Hobby Lobby), a hot-glue gun, and a bit of paint.  Now, you can change this up however you want, just have fun with it!

1. Paint the top of your box, I used the color coconut.  I was going for a bit of a rustic/vintage look.  Don't worry about painting the sides, they will be completely covered!

2. After your paint has dried, go ahead and put whatever it is you want in the middle (should've made mine a bit bigger). Now, outline the box with all of your crayons for a test run.  This is where I messed up.  I did the outline but took out the browns because I didn't want to use them.  Well then I realized about halfway through hot-gluing that I would actually need them because there wouldn't be enough without them.  So just make sure you have a little extra that will go with your design just in case.

 

3. Now you get to hot-glue the crayons on!  It's a bit time consuming, but honestly once you get your rhythm going and what feels comfy, it will fly by!  I made the bottom of the crayon line up with the edge of the box.  I really liked the way the crayons stuck out like that!  I also turned them where the "crayola" name was face-up.  For me, it was easiest gluing the box and then sticking the crayon on top.  

And there ya go!  Mine is by no means perfect, but I love it that way!

Have fun! =)
