Hey Everyone!!

It’s Dani and Janice!! And we are super excited that today marks the first day of our Snap Happy Hunt!

You are our favorite people ever because you read our blogs, comment all the time and share our posts. When you sit down to meet with us you already know about our kids (whether furry or human), you know about our faith, you know about our tv and crafting obsessions, you know us. Well, we want to get to know you!! So show us your pictures so we know you when we sit down and talk about your wedding, senior session or family portraits. Show us your routine, your guilty pleasures, things you are proud of. Today tell us what home means to you.

This is super easy. Step one is definitely to download instagram which is now available on androids and iphones and you can even download it to your computer.

To tag a photo:

Snap a photo and choose a filter
On the screen you see after choosing a filter, type your #hashtag in the Caption field (example: #snaphappyhuntmay1)
If you want to tag a photo you’ve already uploaded, just include your #hashtag in a comment on your photo
After you tag your photo with a hashtag, you’ll be able to tap on the hashtag to see a page that shows all photos users have uploaded with that hashtag.

We will be choosing a few every once and awhile to blog about and we will definitely be posting our own. So get your camera phones ready!! Start sharing with us!!

Can’t wait to see what you all come up with. :-)

Dani and Janice

Dani and I are doing a monthly photography scavenger hunt together and we REALLY want you to join us. My husband has even decided it is easy enough to participate. Download Instagram and get ready for a fun month. I will talk more about it tomorrow morning, but here is what we are super excited about:

Austen Class of 2012 {Janice Reyes Photography – Austin, TX}

April 30, 2012 By Janice 2 Comments

****My close friend is surprising her sister with senior photos of her GORGEOUS niece so I asked her to say some nice things****

I remember the first time I met my niece in 1994; she was seven months old and looked like a china doll. And I never met a baby with such intelligent, inquisitive eyes.

I can’t believe she’s 18, graduating, and heading off to Scotland for college in a few months! She is an amazing artist, writer, and poet. She can knit like lightning and design the coolest Halloween costumes. She’s always creating something . . . her request for Christmas last year was a gallon of latex so she could build a full-sized and functional mermaid tail.

But her vast creativity is nothing compared to her strength of personality. She has always known who she is and won’t be swayed by what others think (granted, this trait made her difficult to deal with sometimes as a child, but it will serve her well as an adult).

When Austen was seven, she stayed with me for a weekend while my sister was out of town. Among our many battles of the wills that weekend was a trip to the bookstore. I took her to Borders and was promptly told that Borders was no good—she refused to look at books until I took her to Barnes and Noble. When we got to Barnes and Noble (can you tell who won all of the battles that weekend?), she asked for chocolate milk from the coffee shop. But it was too chocolatey and she refused to drink it. Come Sunday evening, I thought my relationship with my sister would be permanently damaged due to the fact that I secretly wanted to strangle her daughter.

Okay, so she’s matured about five thousand percent in the last 11 years, but her strength of personality remains and she won’t easily be swayed by others. I pray that she will use this trait to seek God’s will in her life and not be pulled off course by the world. But I also pray that she will be humble enough to accept where He guides her. I love you, Austen!

Austen, I’m close to my aunts. It is such a special relationship and I hope you always stay close to your aunt. Best of luck on your first adventure in adulthood. You have brains, beauty, and a supportive family – you can do anything you want.

And friend – you looked beautiful in every photo. I seriously can’t pick a favorite.

Our facebook profile picture sessions usually consists of 1000 bug swatting outtakes, me being totally awkward, and Dani telling me to not be so weird.

I’m so glad we get to do this again in a month.
