Welcome to our new blog!
I'm Jacqueline Reitz and I'm a stay-at-home mom and a professional photographer. I've been photographing for over two years now and love it more than ever. I first became involved in photography after the birth of my son, Brendan and the birth of my daughter, Lily, has only increased my passion for the craft. Be sure to bookmark this blog as I'm constantly hosting giveaways and posting special offers!
Also, be sure to check out the links above. If you click on "portfolio", you can check out my website which features photographs of births, maternity, newborns, children, families, engagements/couples, seniors/models, and weddings.
I am currently running the following booking specials: Models and Weddings. If you fit either of these categories, please contact me to find out more information!
This weekend is our Unwrapped boudoir weekend in Plano! Two days if hanging out with the girls, getting makeup done and enjoying champagne. What more could a girl ask for?
Since I’ll be gone from Thursday Night to Sunday Morning, I’ll be slow to respond to emails or phone calls. If it is important, please email me as I get emails on my blackberry and may be able to respond if I have a few free moments.
This weekend we photographed the wedding of Tess and Danny in Hurst.
Today I was so very excited to see Miss. Lilly again.
Some of you may recall her last session. Lilly is very close to the same age as *my* Lily, so it’s always fun to see her.
We had to cancel her extended session last week as she was ill, which turned out to be a good thing because the next day, *my* Lily fell ill with a stomach virus.
So today was our make up session, and we had a blast touring the Arboretum in a collection of holiday themed dresses.
This is Kyle. I met him and his parents today to hang out at a park in downtown Dallas.
Poor Kyle was suffering from a headcold during our session today, but don’t worry Caren! I told you the photos wouldn’t be all tears and snot! We got quite a few smiles in there!
And then today after this session, Kandice and I met up in Plano with our kids to cheer on the 3 Day walkers. We had such a great time and painted our cars pink and white with messages of support and inspiration. We cruised through town, blaring our radios, honking and waving at the walkers. We hit up a cheer station (and at one point, made our own cheer station, lol) while J passed out stickers and Kandice passed out candy to the walkers. Tomorrow will be another long day for all the people involved in the 3day, so best of luck to all of you. Keep going strong! A lot of people are counting on you!
On Black Friday this year we’ll be offering a special one-day-only promotion.
This is great if you want to gift a photo session to a family member but don’t have a huge gift budget this year. It will be one day only, and “while supplies last” (limited number of sessions available). So be sure to bookmark the blog and check back on black friday!! You won’t want to miss it!
I might not be. Ha!
My phone appears to have recovered from it’s brief swim yesterday and I’m able to accept calls on it.
However, for those of you who don’t know, my kids both had a stomach virus on saturday. Then my Husband and I both had it on Sunday. And now it appears that sweet little Lily has it again 
Poor kid.
So, while I’m not accessible by phone again, please forgive me if it takes a while to return calls. I’m probably bathing a baby or cuddling her to sleep.
Due to an unfortunate incident with my cellphone meeting water, i’m not able to accept calls at this time. If you need to get ahold of me, the best possible way would be via email through the contact form on my website.
Otherwise, my phone is completely out of commission until I can have a professional look at it.
Thanks for understanding!

Today I’m doing another giveaway and since it wouldn’t make sense to give you something halloween related when you won’t receive it until after halloween, I’m doing a fall related gift 
You can win this beautiful jersey scarf
by simply commenting on this post, and telling me what your kids will be dressed up as for halloween.
Include a photo if you can! (you should be able to either link to the images, to embed it)
Two runner ups will receive a gift certificate towards a photo session
Then tomorrow afternoon I will select a winner, and I will email them to let them know when the scarf should arrive!
Contest closes at 10:00AM Central time on 11/1/08.
Be sure to pass this on to your friends!
We don’t do halloween but D had a great time dressing up as a PIRATE last weekend for a birthday party we went to. Wish I had a picture of it!
Super girly ballerina mummy and Indy Jones. um…..I have pics but no idea how to add it here. 
I’ve got 2 Darth Vaders, and a little bumble bee here!
Hunter is going to be a Pumpkin and Ethan decided on Iron Man…and I can’t figure out how to add pictures. LOL
My kids are Willie Wonka and an Oompa Loompa this year, but William is a bit sick so we may not go out tonight.

We don’t celebrate Halloween, but Nathan was a PIRATE last weekend for his birthday party. I told him he could dress as Pirate Nate today while we run errands and then go to my grandma’s birthday party tonight.

Elijah has both a karate outfit and an Incridibles costume he might wear if he wants to dress up like Nate.
Charlotte is a sock monkey. :o)
(I guess you embed with HTML?) Let’s see if that works…
We are still undecided…yes, I am aware that today is Halloween
We may go as 2 Tinkerbells OR we may just go in our Hallwoween attire (pumpkin shirts, blinking TOT socks and fairy wings - we must always have fairy wings!!)
Natalie is “a weal bawaweena.” That means “a real ballerina.” She has a tutu, tights and slippers and I’ll put her hair in a bun and let her wear makeup tonight.
Kate is a fairy.
My oldest daugther will be a Rock Star, my middle daugther will be a punk pirate princess and my little baby girl will be a pea in a pod. Since I will be holding her on Halloween I decided to dress up as a farm girl to go with her theme. This will be my baby girls first Halloween.
I have a Jack Skellington, Dalmatian, and baby mermaid
I only have a picture of Jack so far

A rockstar french poodle (H), an elephant (in honor of the election! lol )(E), and a monkey up to no good, I’m sure (B)! No pics yet!
Hendrix is going to be a joey and I’m going to be a mama kangaroo. The rest of the family are going to be zombies.
Zac is Spiderman and also David (from the Bible) - depending on the event!
My boys will be sharks and i have a kitty and a tinkerbell also.
