So apparently Daniel and Kasandra didn't see the information from Danyel's School about School Pics at the beginning of the year. I couldn't let Danyel's Kindergarten year go without being documented, So last week I took pics of her in my studio. She came out Adorable, she makes my Pearls look good too. I picked out one of my favorites and had them printed, got a few 8x10s and 5x7s and 4x6s and wallets. I framed an 8x10 for Daniel and surprised him with it...I also gave him some pics to give to Kasandra for her and her family.

I took some much needed time off...from kinda everything! For about a year actually. It was a rough couple of years so the transition to Texas was kinda stressful, but once we got here it was So So nice being back home to my roots. Finesse really Loves Castroville too. I am now ready to HOP back into work, well PHOTOGRAPHY doesn't really feel like work to me but anyway. So...Meet the latest Castroville Chamber of Commerce Business Member, Leticia Wilson Photography . It sounds like it will be a great opportunity for us to establish and promote my Photography Services here in the Castroville / San Antonio area.

My business will be listed in the Castroville Wedding Guide Book, in the Castroville Area Chamber of Commerce 2012 Membership Directory, in different brochures and being a member I can put my business cards up in the Castroville Chamber of Commerce Visitors Center. And all members normally promote other members' businesses first when asked about different services needed.

There are luncheons and mixers that we can attend to get to know other members and residences of Castroville as well...should be Fun!

So this is my first attempt at Face painting...We had all gone to Seaworld a couple weeks ago and my Grand-daughters wanted their faces painted but it was like $25 so for both of them it would've been $50 so I told them we'd do it next time.

But instead I went and bought a cheap face paint kit at walmart for 2.99 got the cheap stuff, to see if I could even do it and if I'd enjoy doing it. Now that I know I enjoy it...I will get better paint. The one I got from walmart was real goopy so it just kept coming off with each brush stroke. But the girls thought I did a great job...so thats all that matters ; ) Kasidy, the younger one, kept going to the mirror and saying " I Look So Beautiful!"

I want to learn how to do dolphins and stuff for our trips to Seaworld and tigers and lions and stuff for our Zoo trips. That way they'll already have their faces painted. We have seasons tickets to both...so that will be fun!

I saw on GMA (Good Morning America) the latest Boys and Girls craze "Hair Chalking". Kids are having Hair Chalking parties...it sounded like fun, so I tried that on the girls too...THEY LOVED IT! 

So as a gift to Adam, I asked Finesse to help me with a Self Portrait Session in our backyard. Adam bought me this dress last week at downtown San Antonio, we had planned to go to El Mercado and then down to the Riverwalk for dinner out on one of the restaurants outdoor patios to see the riverwalk at night with all the beautiful lights. We wound up spending so much time at El Mercado that we decided to save the Riverwalk for another family outing. While at El Mercado we did alot of shopping...Finesse fell in love with these Mexican ceramic light switch plates for her room, so we got that for her as well as a traditional Mexican jacket. Adam got a really cool looking beach type white button down shirt. And Adam actually fell in Love with this white Dress that he insisted on wanting me to get for myself. I kept saying No, we left the store shopped for the rest of the day, but then on our way out we went back in there and he bought it for me...He is obsessed with this dress! I just kept thinking to myself " I hope it fits good, Ive gained weight...I dont know, and I can't wear a bra with it" But I figured I'd make the best of it for him.

So now that we have been here a few months and out of the RV  ( believe it or not I took those Cap and Gown pics down below in the previous blog entry in the RV at the tiny RV booth Table near a window, needless to say it was a very tight squeeze, but we managed and Finesse came out Gorgeous) as I was saying, now that we are out of the RV and into a real home...I am beginning to set up my Photography Studio. This home has a really nice Huge area that is perfect for a Photography Studio with its own driveway and entry door for clients to use. So yesterday I got my Backdrops and my Softbox lights and reflectors all unpacked and put together and started organizing my Studio.

I also started changing all the Vendor sites that I am a member of to reflect the San Antonio, Tx. area that I will be working in now...and soon I will put an ad in the Local Newspaper as well. So hopefully soon, I will have a new clientele here in Texas.

It was sad, the week we were moving down I had to turn a Wa. Client down...I shot their wedding and they wanted me to shoot their eldest daughters Senior Portraits. There were a few Portrait appts I had to turn down : (

I have been photographing my Grandbabies literally since the day they were each born...well, we just had another Photo session a few hours ago. I dunno tho I may be getting a bit lazy in my old age LOL, cuz these are unedited images...they could certainly use a bit tweaking here and there, but I kinda likem like this, so for now Like This is how they'll stay til I get around to tweaking. My girls are so big. Danyel is 5 soon to be 6 in September and Kasidy just turned 4 this month. Enjoy their slideshow, there should be around 50 images...sometimes it takes awhile for all images to upload. Okay, til next time.

So Finesse and I had another Fun Mother / Daughter Day! Finesse has been wanting to go have tacos at Mona's Taco House, since we got here in May. So after we took a few photos at the RV Park, we headed over to Mona's...Nummy Num! Next Stop the Mall...WooHoo, Where we did alot of shopping! Shopping always makes us hungry, so we finished our Mother / Daughter Day at Olive Garden...where we enjoyed Soup and Salad and their Yummy Breadsticks ( once again Nummy Num...LOL that is what Finesse used to call Food when she was a baby).

After that we headed home and picked up the News Bulletin for Castroville, because at the park last Saturday or Sunday we noticed down at the Park that there were like 5-6 cop cars and 2-3 ambulances for about an hour, we were so curious, but to embarrassed to go see what it was all about...so we decided we'd get the News Bulletin and for sure it would be in there...since nothing happens in Castroville. Nope, No Mention At All! When I used to work at the News Bulletin one of my jobs was to type the Police Blotter and every week it mostly consisted of who took off without paying for gas at Citgo or So and So got arrested for DUIs...boring stuff. And finally something happens and NOTHING! We were thoroughly disappointed...we had waited all week for Wednesday's paper to come out.

So after that disappointment, we got ready to go to the Meeting...so that made for a very nice Ending to another Successfully, Awesome Mother / Daughter Day...Wow I can't Believe My Baby is 20!
