If you weren't able to make it to The Patio on Mercer's Open House this past Friday, then you missed a fun night of food, cocktails, music, and their wonderfully themed evening, "A Hill Country Affair."

I am proud to announce that I am participating in Images for a Cure (IFAC) this year! Images for a Cure is a wonderful opportunity for you to help me raise funds for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

What is Images for a Cure? Images for a Cure is a fundraising effort started by KristenWeaver and a group of passionate photographers who are motivated to make a difference. We are daughters, sisters, husbands and fathers. We are roommates, best friends and soul mates. We are photographers with a passion for giving back. In November 2010, we will unite our talents to contribute one day of session fees in support of breast cancer research. 100% of all session fees collected on this date will be donated to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation®. We are hopeful, that with your support we will find a cure in our lifetime.

You can help raise  money AND get some beautiful photos: I'll be offering on-location, 30 minute mini-sessions on Sunday, November 14. The session fee is a minimum $100 (you are welcome to donate more) and 100% will be donated to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Donations are not refundable.

You will receive a CD with 10 high resolution images and a Limited Reproduction Release for you to print where ever you wish. Only 5 mini-sessions will be available and times will fill up fast, so please contact me as soon as possible to book your session.

My goodness what a GORGEOUS day it was in Houston today! What made it even better was meeting up with my friends from Blush and Glow. Anita and her husband Alx are expecting a baby boy in March! They had a special ceremony today called a Godh Bharai, which is basically a baby shower with a special ceremony. Anita's fellow beauty expert at Blush and Glow, Artee, was also in attendance. Alx is her brother. I can tell Artee is really excited to be an auntie :) Another excited future auntie is Anita's baby sister, Renita. Everyone looked beautiful and happy and I'm so glad I got to capture this for Anita and Alx. People, I always thought Anita was beautiful, but seeing her today...she's stunning!
