When it comes to salon procedures, I’m a D-I-Y kind of girl. I do not like to get manicures/pedicures (I did my own nails for my wedding), and I have not had my hair professionally colored in over 10 years.
I don’t have much grey (yet) but the strands that I do have all surround my face & really stand out against my naturally dark hair color. So for the last 10 years or so, I have used a semi-permanent hair color that matches my natural color almost exactly.
This morning I applied my monthly coloring touch-up. As I was blowdrying my hair, I started to freak out. Why did the hair color “take” so much more strongly this time?!? This was NOT the subtle grey-blending effect that I usually achieve. I dug through the trash & realized the mistake. D’oh! I used a PERMANENT rather than semi-permanent developer. Yikes!!! Lesson learned: do not purchase hair coloring products when rush-shopping with two cranky pre-schoolers!
Quite a few of you have been asking why my page of proofing galleries has not been updated in over a month. What’s going on? Well, In December I installed a new online proofing gallery & shopping cart and everyone LOVES the new system! Here are just a few of the things it can do:
1. You can see your proofs in color, black & white, sepia, and other color tones.
2. You can use a magnifying glass to zoom in & see better detail.
3. You can play with crops to see how an image would look in a different size or cropped in tighter.
4. You can create a file of favorites and place your order online.

I’m still going through the TONS of photos from Tara & Benny’s Saturday wedding plus I am in the process of editing 2 other portrait sessions. I will get those pictures up ASAP but in the meantime, here are a few pics from some recent family sessions!
The “F” family! (note: read the story right below this set of pictures)
The other “F” Family
Funny story, this “F” family is related to the “F” family above! The two moms (who are also sisters-in-law) met up for lunch one day and were telling each other how excited they were because they booked had each booked a session for family portraits. As they were talking, they realized that they both booked Sarah Green to take their portraits! They contacted me at almost the same time and their sessions were only two weeks apart.
The “M” Family!
The “H” Family!
Brian & I just returned home from a short trip to Las Vegas! This was the first time for us to take a vacation without the kids in tow and I think it was harder on us than it was on them! Hannah & Sam loved their time at home with Grandma & Grandpa.
It was our first time to visit Las Vegas and we had a blast! Our hotel suite was larger and had more bathrooms than my first apartment. We stayed in a corner suite so we had nearly a 180 degree view of the city! During our stay we saw Cirque De Soleil & the Blue man group. We also spent a day at the Mandalay Bay Spa getting massages & relaxing! The rest of our time was spent browsing the shops (Vegas has amazing shopping) & seeing the lights.
We had fun but I am so glad to be home! I’m shooting a wedding tomorrow here in Midland - stay tuned for pics!
