Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hello! For those of you still following, I know it's been a REALLY LONG TIME! :)
Anyways, I'll be back next year to blogg a ton more, I promise!

Just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

A Visit with Friends...

Ok, so this week of February, my husband & I went out of town to visit with some of our best friends. We had such a blast hangin' out with them! We don't live close enough to get that opportunity very often, so every chance we get, we go and see them. :0)

Their youngest is now 16! WOW! I still think of him as the 7 yr old little boy I met almost 9 years ago! But, he's growing up and turning out, like all of their kids, to be a responsible young adult. All of their kids are doing well and are starting new chapters in their lives! Our godson just turned 6 the other day, and our niece will be 8 a little later this year....man, time DOES fly! :0)

B & L we love you guys and your family so much! Thanks for such an awesome time/visit/hang out week! We love all of our philosophical discussions that sometimes get off point or have no real point in the end because we can't really remember why or how we got on the subject in the first place. LOL :0)

Your grace never ceases to amaze me L! I love talking to you about life and whatever else...B, you're such an awesome friend to my sweet hubby! Both of you have taken me into your family and love me unconditionally. It touches my heart beyond words. I know we've known each other for almost ten years, but I don't think you realize how much you mean to me. I know you know how much you mean to S and vise-versa.

L, I know you'll read this soon. :0) I also know what your reaction will be and what you'll tell B, or maybe you'll show him this, I dunno. I meant what I said.

Thanks for everything! You guys rock!

Long live PJ & EV! ;0)

May God continue to bless you and yours. I truly believe that you are angels in disguise to help all of us who need all the wonderful gifts you both offer.

Love you! :0) xoxoxox

Here's some fun pix from our visit and some of L's personal artwork & artwork from her kids! Enjoy! The last night we were there we had a wonderful bonfire thanks to B & my hubby! Most of the bonfire pics were shot on my phone as I couldn't really find my camera....no worries! I did find it! You can all rest easy now...lol ;0)

Garfield and Ode

Calling all pet owners!

Garfield and Ode need new portraits on the walls of your abodes. They've been telling us that they've been feeling a little left out of the family portraits. Why not show them how much they ARE a part of the family?

Don't miss out on March Madness for your Pets! Contact us today....Garfield and Ode will appreciate it! :0)

Happy Valentine's Day!

Just wanted to wish you all a wonderful Valentine's Day filled with time with not only that special someone in your lives, but also your family & friends, who love you still the same!


Happy Valentine's Day !!! :0)

Snow....Texas Style

Ok, so for the past couple of weeks, Texas has experienced an unusual winter pattern for an

el niño winter season....SNOW!!

A couple of weeks ago, we got about 2 inches of ice with some of that white powder stuff you Northerners call SNOW....which you would also call a "dusting" since you got WAY more than us...lol. Anyways, here's some pics from the last two weeks...the current week is nice, sunny, and warm....MMMmmmm....can already feel myself starting to defrost and anticipate the Spring rains.....how sweet they smell.....

Enjoy! (The first set is from two weeks ago, and the second set is from last week. Some are taken with a phone camera).

Love is in the Air....All Month Long

the McHargue Family

Dearest McHargue Family:
Thank you so much for inviting us into your home for family portraits. We had so much fun photographing your family! :0) With all the laughter, funny faces, and kind words, we felt like part of your family. You are part of ours, and we hope to photograph your family again in the upcoming Spring in your beautiful garden! :0) So sorry for the delay in the update of the site.

The Wooter's

Well, during the mad rush of the Holiday Season, we were awarded the opportunity to photograph an amazing family in the park! We had so much fun with them and their dogs, Gandolph and Hagret. We were going to put these up before Christmas, but decided that since our friend, Linda might be trying to get a sneak peek, and it was a gift for her, that we needed to keep it all to ourselves until afterwards. :0) Sorry, Linda! Hope you enjoyed the surprise!

A big "Thank You" to the Wooter Family: Leroy, Donna, Jordan, Hargret, & Gandolph! :0)

Hello, Again! :0)

Hello & welcome back to your favorite blog! We've been missing you...
oh, wait a sec....we're the slackers in this department...lol....sorry.

Ok, so it's been awhile since our last update. The Holidays were a very busy time for us, as it is for all, and we're just now getting to update the site. We hope you all had a wonderful Holiday Season (even though it was over like two months ago...lol. We, however, just finished packing and putting away the Christmas decorations late last week---yikes!)

Well, hope you enjoy all of the updates! Stay in touch! :0)

Thank You Veterans & Those Serving

Today is Veteran's Day, and we just wanted to say "Thank You" to all those who've served and all those who are serving. We owe our Freedoms to you for the Sacrifices you made and make everyday. Wishing you a day full of Peace. We are Honored and Humbled by your Service.

Thank You!

Fall Family Portraits

It's that time of year again! This is one of our favorite seasons! FALL!!!

It's about taking in all the beauty of the changing of the trees, the crisp air, and the family gatherings to start the celebrations of the upcoming Holidays.



This year, we are doing something a little different. All of those families who have family portraits with us during the month of November, will help those in need. Part of the proceeds from the sales will go to help those in Haiti via the Red Cross. The earthquake earlier this year was devastating to that region, with millions of people still living in tent villages. Please help us in reaching out a helping hand this Holiday Season. You can also visit www.thehaitiprojekt.com for additional ways you can help the relief efforts through music.



Thanks so much for all of your help & support! A special thanks to Brian Cobb and Martin Kornick for all of their hard work for this cause. Thanks also to the Red Cross for all of their humanitarian efforts in Haiti and throughout the world.

Happy Halloween!

We hope you had a wonderful and safe Halloween!

Love,

your Light Artistry Family

Jessica & Nick

A little over a week ago, I had the honor of helping a colleague with a beautiful wedding at the Dallas Arboretum. Although the day started off with rainy weather, it couldn't dampen the spirits of the Bride & Groom on their special day! A beautiful setting for the ceremony, even though it had to be moved indoors, with a special couple, and their families and friends gathered around for the celebration of a new beginning, was wonderful! Jessica & Nick continued the celebration at one of their favorite Italian restaurants, Cafe' Italia, in Grapevine. With toasts, laughter, tears, & dancing, the celebration was a perfect setting for Jessica & Nick's new journey together.

Here are some of our favorite memories of that special day! Enjoy!

Mary Jane's 90th Birthday

We were invited to photograph Mary Jane's family at her 90th birthday party not long ago. Wow! What wonderful people! :) Ms. Mary Jane was so sweet and happy that her family was there to celebrate with her. It was a beautiful day!

Thought we'd share...Happy Birthday, Mary Jane! :0)

Nelson Wedding

We are always honored to share in special days and occassions.

The wedding of John and Cherrie was no exception. What a beautiful ceremony and happy couple! While we edited these images, we couldn't stop smiling as we looked upon the beaming bride and remembered the couple's special day!

Here's a few of our favorites! Enjoy! :)
