Christina Lee Photo has moved!

Gee it has been quite a while since I have updated here!  It seems that I failed to let all of you wonderful people know of a big change that I made back in March.

At this point in time, I have moved my blog and website over to www.christinaleephoto.wordpress.com

I have combined both my website and blog into one location, and I hope that you will join me in this new adventure.  After winning an incredible year's subscription to SmugMug, and really appreciating its benefits, I have decided that it would be difficult to keep up with essentially three websites, along with a web site for a large 5A high school, teach high school kids, be a wife, oh yeah, AND further develop my craft in photography! So, on that note, at this time christinaleephoto.com is still under my ownership, I just do not have anything running under the domain at this time, but I plan to get things up and running again appropriately by this summer, once I get this crazy school year under wraps.  In the meantime, I'll be posting my updates and latest news and images on my new wordpress blog, and I plan to maintain my SmugMug account that includes my client viewing, and of course, there is my Flickr page as well, which I have now gone Pro in, so I anticipate a lot more uploads!

Thank you so much for reading my simple little blog here as I write about my photography adventures, please make sure you join me on this new adventure as well!

Thanks again!

{Dallas Family Photographer} Wisk Family

A little less than a year ago, I met up with Hillary and Larry on a chilly day to shoot their engagement pictures in Dallas and the Arboretum.  Recently, we met up again to do some family pictures for them and Larry’s soon to be seven year old son, James.

We went to the Mandalay Canal in Las Colinas where it was a little chilly at first, but we made it through with some good shots!

James was a complete ham---and I love it!  I think it is great that James put on this fun and comfy look with his beanie here!

“Gimme Seven, cuz you’re gonna be 7!”

I’m sorry it’s been so long since I posted.  I have had some problems uploading with my computer.  I’ve actually had this post written for about a week and just now was able to get it to upload.  (Sigh, probably something to do with Explorer; fortunately I use Firefox most of the time.)

{DFW Photographer} The Eason Family

This weekend was the first time I ever actually met Amanda and her family in person.  In the past I’ve just connected with her on Facebook and briefly talked with her on the phone about camera settings one afternoon.

Anyway, we worked out a trade of sorts and I did a family shoot for them in Waxahachie on Saturday, where the light was wonderful and the scenery, well, it was divine.

Amanda is a college friend of my sister’s and has the wonderful luxury of being a stay at home mom while her husband, Andy, works and is in law school.  During her time at home, Amanda has created the Bitty Bear Baby Boutique, where she is a sewing goddess with all of her fantastic baby goods, and even some goodies for mamas and daddies as well! 

 
This weekend, Amanda surprised me with the adorable Mama Clutch in a beautiful damask fabric with pink accents and a SUPER cute fabric flower! I may not be a mama, but I can still carry the Mama Clutch---maybe it’s more like a teacher clutch for me, since it fits well in my laptop bag for work.

Amanda also included some of the business cards that I designed for her, and I must say, they came out looking super cute, yet, very professional!

{DFW Photographer} New!

Christina Lee would like to introduce her new custom packaging! :) Who does not like to receive products wrapped up all pretty and arranged nicely?  I know whenever I make a purchase---particularly at a clothing store, I like it much more whenever the bag is of higher quality---like those nice paper sacks with the handles, or even if my clothing items are wrapped in tissue paper.  It isn’t necessary, but it makes the experience that much more special.

Here’s a preview of our new packaging:

I know Peacock isn’t exactly a popular color, but I love it, especially with the damask and black and white.  I find it to be sophisticated, yet fun, and that’s the reason I chose that color, because I want my photography to be exactly that---balanced—sophisticated and exciting at the same time.

{DFW Photographer} Sunny Sunday

Today is Sunday, 7/11, so go get your free slushies from Seven Eleven.  That's right, they're giving away free slushies today, so go get yours.

Today it is finally sunny outside. It seems like it's been quite a while since we saw a pleasant day here in DFW, and one that isn't so dreary or rainy.
I'm glad the sun has come out; it is just too strange to have it being 78 and cloudy in the middle of July in Texas.

Today's image is from my visit to East Texas a couple of weeks ago when I went over to my cousin, Angie's house. Angie is three years older than me and has two wonderful children.  Since Angie's photography buddy, (me) was in town, we drove up to a local old feed store and took some pictures.  This one below is of Chance, her son up by an old door we found.
I really enjoy the time I get to spend with my cousin.  She's become a great friend over the last few years and we get along quite well. It is always good when you can have great friends that are also family. :)



Well, that's about it for today.
'Till Next Time...
