Its very simple, if the pictures you are looking for were from a wedding before April of 2007 then go to my website (www.tonidaniel.com) and click the Your photos tab. IF the photos you are looking for are from a wedding after April 1st then go to www.pictage.com . Enter the name of the bride, groom or event that you are looking for, From there it should be pretty easy. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions - toni@tonidaniel.com !!!!!

Life!

Well I know that many have been wondering what the heck is up with me so I'm gonna tell ya. I really have never wanted to use the blog for all my personal drama but I think that my clients (and friends) deserve to know everything that is affecting there photographer and therefore their photography. So here we go.... this has hands down been the hardest year and 1/2 of my life. God has proven faithful and true to his word. He has never left me nor forsaken me but I do feel like I have been tried and tested. In the last year and half we have lost Daniel's step-dad, a couple of dogs, my uncle, Daniel's grandmother, my Momma & today my Aunt & My great-grandmother (which BTW I will be flying to Houston tomorrow and will not be back until Sunday evening... call or email if you need me... I will be available)not to mention numerous friends & co-workes. My mother-in-law battled cancer and won, and the biggest blow was my momma and bestfriend being very very sick for the last year until God healed her completely by giving her a new body. Most recently my mother-in-law and then my brother-in-law both had to have sugery on their legs the same day in 2 different hospitals. It hasnt been easy but we are still here. I know that many of you have waited too patiently for me to deliver but I hope you understand that I have had to put my family in front of my business. That has been the most difficult part of it all. I have felt like I have failed so many people so many times. I do apologize for this and I have been trying desperately to change it all. I am back to photography 100% and I am very excited about so many things that are in the works. I guess I just wanted everyone to know that I have not been trying to be a flake or unreliable. God has taught me so much about myself and for that I will praise him continuely. I know this sounds like a very negative blog but I hope you understand that it is quite the opposite. Through all that we have faced, my family has been made stronger, my husband has proven time and time again that he is the most amazing gift that God has ever given me, and I have learned to cling to my faith for dear life. The most amazing thing is the realization that other people have just as much going on in their lives as I do. If you think about the world around us and all that is happening it is quite overwhelming. Thank God that we are not the ones who has the world in our hands. I look back at all that has happened and all that I thought would be too much to deal with and I see that I was wrong. There has been alot but I know that I am blessed. Jer 29:10-12 is the verse that i always will go back to "11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart." I can honestly say that I have searched for him with all my heart, and he was true to the word and he is there. I am not sure why I felt lead to blog all of this. It may just be for my sake, but if you need prayer or just someone to talk to, please please let me know! Please feel free to email me or call if there is anything that you have been waiting on and think I may have forgotten about... it is very possible. Have a most blessed day!

Here we go...STOP TAKING OUR PICS!

Well I guess we will call ourselves the West Texas Shooting Club (Kristin has to have a name for everything...haha)... But whomever we may be we are stark raving mad! And I LOVE it! I have needed to take sometime to do something that wasnt required of me... and so, with much proding (thanks Kristin), I went to shoot with 3 amazing women Kristin, Lauren & the darling Sarah! We had the pleasure of meeting & shooting fellow photog Christy Penn & Jason her patient husband! You can only imagine what the poor man went through for his wife! But as photographer husbands do..he grinned and bore (?) it! This fabulous couple has been together for 17 years! 15 years married, four kids, and owning 2 businesses and they still look at eachother like they just can't get enough...how refreshing! They are now planning a beautiful Vow Renewing Ceremony in Sept. and Lauren will capture thier perfect day! It was so fun to watch all of us photogs run around them like bees. So fun in fact I found myself taking too many photos of ladies taking photos! Thanks to everyone, the laughter, the fellowship, and the commrodery(sp) were such a blessing!


I love the way she looks at him!










Sarah & her calechie hiney!
