And the winning moms are...

Happy Mother's Day to you all! I hope you were all treated like queens yesterday and that you remembered to take at least one photo WITH your children. It is so important that you take pictures with your children even if it is just snapshots. Don't wait! It doesn't matter if you are "too fat", or you have a funny hair cut, or *insert your own excuse here*. They love you just the way you are and will enjoy looking back and seeing you being a part of their childhood. So, stop hiding behind that camera and get in the middle of the action. I PROMISE you won't regret it!

Now for the big announcement you have all been waiting for.

I liked everyone on Facebook for the national giveaway! Such cute stuff from such talented vendors!

Winners have 24 hours to contact me to claim your prize or a new winner will be chosen. Please email me at info@csprophotography.com with your name, email address, phone number, and address.

Thank you all for entering! It is very, very hard for me to only choose two of you as I know you are all so deserving. SO, I want to extend a special offer to all of you...

LOCALS: Book a Mommy and Me Session between now and August 31st and get a reduced session fee and session minimum. $25 session fee (due @ booking) and $100 portrait minimum. I will be holding a special edition Mommy and Me Tea Party on May 21 & 22 and a special edition Mommy and Me Picnic on June 5th. Both will have a full prop set provided and are sure to be a ton of fun!

EVERYONE: Enjoy FREE SHIPPING on any headband order placed between today and May 15th. I should have my site live tonight or at least have an album on FB for you to choose from. Keep an eye on the fanpage for the announcement when it goes live.

Just Moms Giveaway!

Mother's Day is coming up quickly and what could possibly be better than winning a fantastic prize for all that hard work you have done throughout the year?  I am opening this giveaway up ONLY to moms.  If you are not a mom, please do not enter as to be fair to all the moms out there who should be celebrated this Mother's Day. 

The Just Moms Giveaway is special in that it is only for moms consisting of prizes donated by businesses exclusively created by and run by amazing mompreneurs.  See the trend?  There will be two prize packs.  One for locals (must be able to pick up your prize from a 77407 address - Katy, TX area) and one nationwide prize.  This is because there are some businesses that operate locally only.

I know you all just want to see what you can win  ;), so without further ado...

Send me your 2010 Holiday Card and you could win!

I love this time of year.  Checking the mail and getting holiday cards from family and friends.  Seeing how everyone has grown and changed since the year before.  Who had a new baby, or started school, or got married.  This year, I haven't received many.  I hear a lot of friends saying they just don't have the time to send cards these days.  It seems as though there have been less and less in my mailbox the past few years.  A sign of the times perhaps?  The recession, the techno age?  I know I have fallen victim to both at times.  I hardly ever send anything by snail mail these days.  An email works just fine.  Or does it?

I would love to hear from you!

Do you send out holiday cards?  Why?  Why not?
Do you prefer a hand written note or an email?
What about from businesses?  E-newsletter or mailed newsletter?

WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOUR 2010 HOLIDAY CARD!

Please send your 2010 holiday card to the studio for a chance to win a free session in 2011.  If you choose to use your session for your holiday cards in Nov, I will throw in a free set of 25 custom designed 2011 holiday cards.  BONUS:  If your 2010 card includes photos taken by Chryshelle Spurgeon Photography, you will receive an extra entry!  


Mail entry to:
Chryshelle Spurgeon Photography
5218 Millwood Pass Cir.
Richmond, TX 77407


Don't delay!  Get those cards in the mail.  Deadline for postmark:  Jan 1st, 2011
Winner will be announced via blog post on Jan 7, 2011 so don't forget to check back and see if you won.

*Must be local (or willing to travel) to win.  San Antonio, TX and Southern CA residents also encouraged to enter however winning session will take place at time of my next visit.

AND THE WINNER IS....Miranda Cummings!  Congratulations.  Please email me to set up your session.  :) 
 

Holiday Portrait Promo 2010!

I have a few dates still open for outdoor family or child portrait sessions this year!   If you would prefer an indoor session, please email me with your preferred date(s) and I will let you know my availability.  Indoor sessions are only done in the afternoon hours as I reserve mornings and evenings for outdoor sessions only.   Please see my calendar on my website www.CSProPhotography.com for my current available times and days for 2010.

Thank you for your continued patronage!
Love,
Chryshelle

Cooper {Baby Portraits in Richmond, TX}

You will be seeing this next little cutie a lot over the next year because he just signed up for my Baby's First Year Package.  :)  Meet Cooper.  He is three months old and getting the hang of holding his head up.  Except when we put his hat on.  It was so funny.  You would think the hat was very heavy.  He was very content during our session even with the clothing changes and I am already looking forward to our next session.

See you in December! I can't wait to see how much you have grown by then!
Love,
Chryshelle {Baby Photographer}

Birthday girl {Children's Birthday Portraits in Richmond, TX}

Kylie came to the studio because she has a third birthday coming up.  Mom brought along some really great props for the session, too.  I love how the bright balloons and the lollipop photographed and they made the birthday session a little more fun.  Kylie is such a sweet little girl and she gave us tons of smiles to work with. 

I hope you have an awesome birthday party and I look forward to future sessions with you and your family!
Love,
Chryshelle {Child Photographer}

Avery {Infant Portraits in Richmond, TX}

How could you possibly forget the chubby-yummy absolutely adorable little Avery?  That little princess knows just how to wear all those little rolls.  lol  I am so excited that she is enrolled in my Baby's First Year program because that means I get to see her at least every three months.  Without further ado, here is her 3-month portraits. 

See you guys soon for your Halloween session!!  :D

Love,
Chryshelle
