A Moment in Time Photography will also have a super fun photo booth to take fun and crazy pictures, and 10% off any session booked tomorrow night, or $150 of any wedding booked that night! You MUST be there and talk to Jennifer in person to take advantage of the discounts!!

For details about the other businesses, see below!

The Honeycomb Tree is an awesome little shop downtown on North 2nd Street. It has really cute jewelry and other gifts, too! It also has antiques set up in different “rooms” for you to browse through. I have personally found several jewelry pieces there, as well as some accessories for the new studio!

The Paramount Theather is a downtown Abilene classic. Whether you have watched a movie, play, concert, or opera in this theater, I am sure you remember being dazzled by wonderful performances, as well as dazzled by the stars in the beautiful ceiling! The Paramount is wonderful for a romantic date!

Spano’s Italian Restaurant is the perfect beginning to a romantic date. Their food is excellent, but the service and atmosphere is unparalleled in Abilene. It is an intimate date, or a wonderful place to go with friends where you can talk in a nice, quiet atmosphere.

McKay’s Bakery is another downtown favorite. Their thumbprint cookies are amazing, as well as their cakes, pies, and pastries. If you have your portrait done with A Moment in Time Photography, you know that at your preview and order session you can always look foward to a box of McKay’s cookies and pink lemonade!

The Party Bag is a new place in Abilene, located in the United Shopping Center on EN 10th and Judge Ely. All of the plates, napkins, silverware, and other party accessories for the Open House were purchased here. They have a wonderful selection of colors and themes for parties from weddings, to bachelor/ bachelorette parties, birthdays, anniversaries, and just because parties! They also make great balloon bouquets that are wonderful for parties, to celebrate a new arrival to a family, or to support your favorite athlete for thier competition!

Cypress Street Station is another wonderful restaurant in downtown Abilene. Their menu is truly great – their is a dish for everyone to enjoy. The atmosphere is also fun for a night out on the town!

The Beehive Restaurant is another Abilene favorite. They started in 1983 in Albany, Texas and had such great success, they opened a restaurant here in Abilene in the beginning part of 2008. They serve only Certified Black Angus Beef that is aged to perfect tenderness and then grilled over mesquite coals for that super yummy flavor that only the Beehive has!

Relics is a home furnishings company downtown. They have everything from home accessories, to furniture, as well as the super-talented owner, Rebecca’s decorating advice!! If you are looking for a fabulous new item to add to your home that is unique and beautiful, Relics is the place to go!

The Loft at Under One Roof is a cute place to meet a friend or spouse for lunch. It is located in conjunction to Under One Roof, which is a great store to find jewelry, accessories, and lots more! If you are wanting to make a trip to Fredericksburg to go to their shops, pass on the trip, and go to Under One Roof!

Whew! That is quite a list! Isn’t Abilene great that it has so many wonderful local establishments!!

See you at the Open House!

New Logo!!

So, the ever fabulous Sharon Albright of Redbud Designs has once again done a wonderful design for me! Sharon and I went to church together growing up in Abilene, and she now lives in Tennesee! Even though we live half way across the country from eachother now, with the greatness that is the internet, we have worked together back and forth on how to get the perfect logo for me! If anyone is needing any logos, blog headers, tshirt designs, or anything else graphic for that matter, you should go visit Sharon at www.redbuddesigns.blogspot.com!!

And, without any further adieux, here is new new logo!!

New Blog!!

Lots of new things in the air lately!! Me and Zane moving back to Abilene, new equipment, and now a new blog!! I hope that you love it as much as I do!! I really like the MUCH larger pictures that I can post, and the cool flash header at the top of the site! If you watch it, it rotates images every 3-4 seconds! SO cool! If you look at the last post with pictures, you can see the new larger pictures that I will have from here on out!! Scroll even more to older posts to see the previous pictures sizing. I would love to hear some feedback and comments about what you think!

Speaking of new equipment, I decided to return the 5D that I got last week. Even though it is a WONDERFUL camera, I had something better in mind. I purchased the new 5D Mark II!!! I am BEYOND excited about it! It is 21 megapixels, with all the new bells and whistles, including video! I don’t plan on offering video to clients in the future, but man, you have to admit that it is cool! This camera was a bit more expensive than the 5D I had originally purchased, but after thinking about it, I decided to splurge!

So…. in honor of my new blog, new equipment, new move, and new everything, I am offering a NEW SPECIAL!! Now is the time for senior pictures, and so the special will apply to these seniors! Currently I have these three packages listed below:
