Not your mama's senior portraits - Mansfield Senior Photographer

Hello blessed friends and turn up the heat! Diana Raines Photography has so much to be "hot" about this July! We have several things on the burner!

Meet my friend Lindsay, who came to me by way of North Carolina -- yes, we are branching out! After being referred by one of Mansfield's own amazing Seniors of the class of 09, Justin and his mom Linda, Lindsay decided that she wanted the same look for her own Senior portraits. While visiting for Justin's graduation, we were able to get together for an amazing shoot, some new locations, and lots of laughs. Lindsay and her mom, Julie, were awesome and up for anything... we made every minute count! We shot late into the night, looking for any available light we could get. Even tried some crazy street lighting which was wicked cool!

Her images speak for themselves. From "girl-next-door" to "city chic", Lindsay, you rocked it! You were such a joy to work with. Would love for things to work out so I can come your way... have camera, will travel...

Rock on Lindsay and have a fantastic senior year!


And finally, enjoy a little "cool" with your "hot" and come celebrate the Grand Opening of our new studio in Mansfield! Please join us on Saturday July 25th from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Tuscan at Walnut Creek (550 North Walnut Creek Dr., Ste. 110) and register to win cool stuff, free sessions and portraits, and gifts from local businesses! Come and go or come and stay. All are welcome and I can't wait to see you there.


Until then and With Gratitude,
Diana

Mansfield / Arlington Senior Portrait Photographer

Another rockin' senior... meet Brooke. Is she stunning or what? What a doll she was and her mom was "all up in her Koolaid!" and was so involved and helpful for her daughter's session. Loved every second with them. Jayne, thanks for the shout-out in the FW Star Telegram... what a sweet, sweet note! I can't wait to see your canvas portrait and the amazing custom Senior Coffee Table Book we've put together for Brooke's session.

Brooke... congrats on everything! You are adorable and I couldn't have asked for a better session. Thanks for entrusting me to be your photographer!! You and your family are awesome! I'd get 100+ chigger bites for you any day!

Much love,
Diana

Just an update on the new studio... looks like the opening will be in June with a Grand Opening in the works. We are now booking sessions for July and are already getting calls for, hold onto your hats, Christmas sessions! To save my sanity and actually allow for some Holiday cheer in our family this year, the cut-off for Christmas sessions is November 1st. Call now for an appointment for this fall if you're considering portraits + Christmas cards this year. We are still working on the new website and one day, I just know it, I will have time to get current session images on the blog... I think I can, I think I can...

Have a wonderful end-of-school year and beginning-of-summer everyone! And if you have a chance, c'mon over to Facebook and join our group and check back often at www.dianaraines.com.

Have a lovely day!
Diana

Tap tap tap ::: is this thing still on?

I truly want so much to have more time to blog... is anyone feelin me on this? Quick post to thank all of the seniors I've had the absolute JOY to photograph so far this year... what a blast you guys all are! Many more are coming up... I can't wait! There are some amazing kiddos (sorry, that is supposed to be an endearing term... to all under the age of say, 21) coming into their own and I am constantly amazed at them all. If you are a senior and haven't yet been photographed, give me a call. I do still have some session time available for you guys... even for those last-minuters out there.

Also... big news coming soon... I'm soooo excited! Stay tuned...

Love and Peace,
Diana
