Earlier this week, I was invited by the fabulous Katie and Adam to come over and spend time hanging out with them for Ella’s first birthday. Just look at that cutie! How could I resist? I’ve actually wanted to get Ella in front of my lens since this past spring when I first met her – so there was no way I was passing the chance up!

She was happy and bubbly when I first arrived at her house – I always say that people are most comfortable being photographed in their favorite places. However, the light & I weren’t getting along there very well, so I suggested going out to the park. She went into serious Ella mode – but I promise she was all smiles before this!

Last Friday I got to finally meet Mary, also known as Ella’s Happy Buela. Mary & I have exchanged emails for months now, ever since she started listening to the Pointy Sticks podcast. We never got to meet up though until now – and I am so glad we got to meet! She was finishing up Ella’s new birthday dress that she made, and she brought it up to Twisted Yarns so she could ask questions about it. It was such a joy having her join us in the Friday knitting circle! And Ella’s dress was so cute! She wore the dress for part of her birthday, and we got photos of her in it too.

I hope to get to spend more time with Ella in the future – she has such a great spirit and joy! Interested in hiring me to take your child’s photos? I would love to talk! More details at the lifestyle photography site.

After having a nice, relaxing, off-line vacation, I’m feeling all bright & sparkly and focused! Which makes me realize just how rushed and frazzled I was feeling before we left!

One of the things I forgot to mention? One of my prints was selected for the 600 sq. mi. photo show that the Houstonist is putting on! It was such an honor to be selected, and I’m so glad that they have the same sense of humor as I do – I submitted my “Mile 0” photograph, since it is the start of the 600 square miles, after all. I wasn’t sure if they would select it – but they did! Squee!

In Houston? Pick up a copy of the July issue of BarStool magazine and you’ll see my photographs in it! I photographed the bartender for the Bartender of the Month feature, and then did a separate shoot at Leon’s Lounge on McGowen in Midtown. It was such an incredible rush to see my photographs in print, and while I did a speed posting on Flickr, I can’t believe I didn’t share them in the blog too!

August’s issue will have more photographs by me, and photographs that Elaine took also – amazing stuff, I’m just bursting at the seams waiting to share!

I’ve been a busy little bee around here, working on the … *drumroll please* …

New! Wedding photography website! Whee!

(Music warning. Music will play when you enter the Christine Tremoulet website. Turn your speakers down if you don’t want to hear it, or turn them on if you do.)

Fresh Photography is staying right where it is at, it isn’t going anywhere – this is just a chance for me to show off my wedding & portrait work and to easily get information to clients. The Fresh Photography site will be more focused on the art prints that we sell. I think the whole thing will make it easier for clients to navigate – and I’ve been mentally debating this for 4-5 months now. Feel free to share any feedback or comments you might have!
