Welcome to my blog!
Welcome to Tiffany Hix Photography! I'm so glad you decided to stop by because I LOVE what I do and I would love to share it with you. Here you will find sneak peeks of recent sessions, images of my adorable children (when they let me photograph them) and random things that I find interesting ... and I am quite random at times! So, sit back and enjoy ... be sure to leave comments because when a client receives 10+ comments on their Session Spotlight they get a special little gift from me ... so comment away, we all love comments!!
Welcome to Whimsical Wednesday! You never know what you're gonna get on Whimsical Wednesday because I'm random and so is Whimsical Wednedsay ... that's fun to say!

So today's installment of Whimsical Wednesday is all about The Voice! Did you watch it on NBC last night?? It was great! I have this this like super duper celebrity crush on Adam Levine, the lead singer of Maroon 5, and I call him my boyfriend. I was going to watch The Voice for no other reason than to look at Adam with googlely eyes for an hour ... I was completely entertained and thought the singers were outstanding! Adam was pretty awesome too :) If you didn't see it, they opened the show with all 4 of the coaches, Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Christina Aguilera and Cee-Lo Green performing Crazy. I totally wanted to scream a giddy little teeny bopper scream when Adam started singing (yes, totally crush). And here it is because I totally have to watch it again. Wow! Talk about a stellar performance from all of them!!

OMG, that part where Adam sticks out his tongue ... seriously giddy again! 


Jeff Jenkins is my current favorite ... not just because he's on Adam's team ... I got goosebumps on the first note. He also turned all 4 of the judges around with his rendition of Bless This Broken Road



I also really loved Javier Colon's performance of Time after Time ... he also turned all 4 judges heads! Wonderful!



I have 2 more that I just have to share. I could totally just put them all out here because all the singers were amazing but I've got to narrow it down a little. 

My next favorite is Vicci Martinez and her cover of Adele's Rolling in the Deep from the 21 album. I loved how they didn't show her face at all until a judge turned around so the audience was participating too. Love it!

And finally, Xenia ... 16 years old ... old soul version of Breakeven.  I'm excited to see how she does.

And just in case you need any of these songs because you love them all ... you can download any or all of the performances from last night on iTunes.

I can't wait for next Tuesday at 8 for The Voice!

I was so lucky to get to photography adorable Miss "M" when she was just a few days old. She was nice and sleepy so we got to do some cute things with her but she was also awake for a little while so we got some lovely images with her eyes open. She was a little dream model and Mom and Dad just adore her! You can see it in the images. 


Enjoy!

I'm starting a blog schedule so that I can be kept on track and actually blog all of my sessions this year instead of letting them go by sight unseen. Manic Monday will be a simple one word post with a photo of something because Monday's are crazy for me. I spend most of the day in car and when I'm not running kids around I'm cleaning and grocery shopping. So, Monday is simply one word and an image. It could be anything or anyone. Let's get this started, shall we?

Eggs-cellent

See that cute little blonde up there? That's my kindergarten school picture ... that crazy blonde up there with her tongue sticking out ... that's me too. It's my birthday so I have a gift for you!! For one day only, tomorrow 4/15/11 (because I don't want to work today) all Signature Sessions booked will receive 100% of the session fee as a credit towards your portrait order! You will also receive a complimentary mini accordion album with images from your session!! Your session just has to be held in 2011, that's the only catch. So, if you know you want to have portraits done this year but maybe in the fall instead of the spring you can still prepay your session fee and be guaranteed a session when the fall colors are at their peak! Isn't that fun?!

You're thinking ... "Hey, what about the contest? I want my kids entered in that though." Well, no worries! You can still book a full session and pay a reduced entry fee of $25 per child and that full amount will be donated to the Wishing Star Foundation. The only catch on this one is that your session must be held before 5/31/11/ for your children to be eligible for the contest.

So, now you're thinking ... "But I want to just book it now so I don't forget tomorrow." I'm like that too! Well, ok! You can, but you can't call me because my wonderful husband is sending me for a spa day and before that I'm having lunch with my awesome parents. Instead, you can book your session online today and I will call you tomorrow to get it scheduled. How's that sound? Good, ok! Here's the link to the online shopping cart!

Have a super wonderful April 14th! Go ahead and have a piece of cake, it's my birthday after all!

Oh, these 3 kids were hilarious! This was an Essential session in the studio and they were so busy! I thought they were hoot, their mom was mortified I think. Kids are busy, it's part of being a kid and it just goes to show you that the situation doesn't have to perfect with kids that sit and stand and look and smile on command, to achieve the perfect portraits. They really were fun, Mom!! 


Enjoy!

Ooops! Well I missed 2 weeks of blogging so I guess I'll have to make those up along the way. I've got a LOT of catching up to do!!

Here is an adorable little family that I had the pleasure of photographing.  Their 3 girls are just absolute dolls.  Every one was so relaxed and playful so we had a wonderful session! I just love the colors that Mom chose for the session too.


Enjoy!!
