"Proudest Moment Ever",  when your daughter says she wants to follow in your footsteps!

I am beyond excited to finally announce that my daughter, Sabrina Thompson has decided to join the family business! For the past 5 years Sabrina has worked with me as a photography assistant, 2nd shooter on weddings and photo editor for Plan-it ink! It's only fitting now that she expands her experience as a full time photographer!


Although it was hard to leave my regular clients behind when I decided to move to Galveston, Texas in 2017 to expand my business,  I am thrilled that Sabrina will now be available to continue servicing my loyal clients! I hope you are as excited as we are that the Plan-it ink brand is back in Erath County  providing quality and style through creative photography!

I encourage all of my past clients who have trusted in the Plan-it ink brand to contact Sabrina to now take care of all your photography needs in the Erath County & surrounding area.

PREPARING  FOR  YOUR  MATERNITY  PHOTO  SESSION!

Picture
There's no better place to take your maternity photos than at the BEACH!
​What a perfect dreamy backdrop!
HERE'S SOME TIPS TO HELP YOU PREPARE AND GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR SESSION:
  • Pick the perfect outfit! (Flowy, soft and elegant makes for the best photos)
  • Bring your partner or kiddos if you like to be in some of the photos, but remember, it is mainly about you and that baby bump!
  • Bring props if you like! Balloons, baby shoes, signs, sonogram print, sentimental items, etc...
  • Wear comfortable shoes, and remember sometimes it's best to kick off the shoes when your on the beach!
  • Make-up and/or lipstick for any touch ups.
  • REMEMBER, it can be a little windy by sea, so style hair accordingly and wear hairspray!!!
  • Keep hydrated! Bring some water just in case!

Isn't She Lovely!

Preparing for your bridal photo shoot.

I absolutely love shooting bridals!!! It's absolutely one of my favorites!
I think it is always a good choice for brides to have bridal photos taken prior to their wedding day. It gives you an opportunity to have a trial run with makeup, hair and how the dress feels on. It's a little experimental time to get the perfect look you are wanting for your special day! On the day of your wedding, there will be time constraints; the bridal portrait session is your chance to also relax and get comfortable with your photographer before the big day. I love witnessing my clients seeing themselves as BRIDES for the very first time! Not to mention you will have gorgeous portraits to display at your wedding reception!
Picture
Picture
There are a lot of moving parts when it comes to bridal portraits.  You’ve booked hair + makeup, ordered a bouquet, picked up your dress, and set your photo appointment, that’s amazing!  So the best way to avoid having to reschedule due to weather is to book your wedding venue for your bridal portrait session. This gives us a chance to check out the venue and get great shots that will coordinate with your wedding day! 
Picture

The day of your bridals is a perfect time to slow things down a bit and get all the fine details of not only you as a bride, but of your dress, wedding shoes, and the rings. Here are some great tips to help you plan for your bridal portrait session.
  1. Book your hair + makeup trial. It’s always advisable to have your hair + makeup done for your bridal portraits by the same team who will be doing it on your wedding day, so that you can do a “test run” of your entire bridal look. 
  2. Wear comfortable shoes. If you have a special pair of shoes for your wedding day, you can definitely bring them if we’re shooting indoors.  But keep in mind that you can also just wear flip flops or boots under your dress!  We won’t see your feet in your bridal portraits – and especially if we’re shooting outside, you won’t want to wear your beautiful wedding day shoes and get them dirty. 
  3. Bring a jacket or blanket if it’s cold – or, if you want to go the extra mile, bring a fur stole!  Bring water and blotting cloths if it’s hot.  We can utilize these things in between photos to keep you as comfortable as possible in the case of really cold or really warm weather.
  4. Don’t stress about being outside in your dress.  Trust me – I would never ask you to do anything that would intentionally dirty your dress.  And even if it does get a little bit of dirt or grass on the bottom, it should be easy enough to remove before the wedding day – and at the end of the day, no one is going to be looking at the bottom hem of your dress with a microscope on your wedding day! It's a good idea to bring a white sheet to stand or sit on for these shots.
  5. Bring your jewelry and veil.  If you’re still undecided about what you want to wear on your wedding day, this is a great time to bring all of your options to see what photographs best.
  6. ​Don't forget the rings!!! This is a perfect opportunity to get those gorgeous close up shots of your rings!
  7. Order a bouquet.  Some florists include a complimentary bridal portrait bouquet in their pricing, so check with your wedding florist to see if that’s the case.  If not, that’s okay – just make sure to bring a bouquet along so that you have something to complete your bridal look. Plus bridal bouquets add that pop of color and give you something to do with your hands.
  8. Bring your wedding invitation and/or save the date cards or any wedding props or signs you would like to incorporate into your bridal session. I like to take this time to photograph all the little details that go into your wedding. Your wedding day gets crazy busy and I don't want to miss a thing!
  9. Ask your mom or a close friend to come along with you.  It’s always nice to have a second pair of eyes for the details and hands to help with your dress – someone who knows you well – plus the moral support is always nice as you see yourself as a BRIDE for the first time!

Just a few of my FAVORITE spots to do Beach Photo Shoots on the Island!

When planning a family photo shoot many of my clients rely on me to suggest the perfect spot for their memorable photos while visiting Galveston! I am always trying to make things convenient for my  clients, especially those with multi family members or small children. Although I have my FAVORITE places to shoot I also do ON LOCATION shoots where I meet you where you are staying when renting beach front homes. Here are some of my favorite spots and samples of photos in each location. You can choose what fits your style and vision best for your family photo shoot.
Here are some more great tips for WHAT TO WEAR for your beach session!

BEACHTOWN

directions
Beachtown is a quaint little beach front community on the East End of the Island. It has so much character with beautiful landscaping, picturesque white mini pavilion and walking bridge leading to the beach.

Beach Photos - Q&A

4/3/2018

Common Questions asked by my clients to help prepare for their beach photo shoot :)

  • (Q) WHAT ARE THE BEST COLORS TO WEAR FOR BEACH PHOTOS?
  • (A) I suggest use a basic neutral theme like gray & white, black & white, blue jean & white or khaki & white and accent it with a complimentary color for accents. Don't get too crazy with different patterns. Keep it simple, blended but fun.

Here's some sample color palettes I like :)

  • (Q) WHAT IS THE BEST TIME OF DAY FOR BEACH PHOTOS?
  • (A) I prefer shooting in the late evening or early morning for the best skies and less blinding light. This cuts down on squinting and shadows on the faces. If I had my way I would shoot on an overcast day!

Picture

  • (Q) SHOES OR NO SHOES?
  • (A) I prefer keeping it natural at the beach :) Kick those shoes to the side and feel the sand on your toes!
Picture

  • (Q) WHERE TO TAKE BEACH PHOTOS IN GALVESTON?
  • (A) I like to keep it simple and convenient for my clients. Most families rent beach homes on the West End of the Island during their stay so I like to meet you where you stay and just walk on over to the beach.  Some of my favorite beach spots are under the Pleasure Pier, Beachtown, Point West or Pocket Park 2.
