One Year Later....

It's hard to believe it's been a year since her birth. I remember going to the hospital and seeing her for the first time last year on Christmas day. We did her newborn portraits just 10 days after she was born. Aryana just celebrated her first birthday, so we had her back for her one year portraits. She's a spittn' image of her dad, and very, very full of life. The session went well, got some really cute stuff and I know her mom and dad will love 'em. Here are a few from the session... Enjoy...

Wolves, bees, and a furry lil’ creature...

Emily is a senior at Randolph HS. She’s a beautiful young lady… I mean beauty comes from within, and her outsides definitely match her insides. She’s witty, funny, and caring. She wants to be a therapist when she finishes her education. She plans on attending Carson Newman in Tennessee in the Fall. The title of this entry seems a little bizarre for Central Texas, but it’s true. We were in our neighbor’s field and I almost stepped on a rabbit. He let us get pretty close to him, so I named him Peter (cottontail hopping down the bunny trail). While Emily was lying in the grass, several baby wolf spiders seemed to like her so they crawled under her fancy top. Like a tough chick, she calmly allowed mom and sister to evacuate the little critters. While we were in the front yard a bee just so happened to land on her head. Mom, graciously pretended to comb her hair and shoo it away, and Emily didn’t see it until it flew off. She is deathly afraid of bees, so mom’s valiant attempt to quietly rid her hair of this bee worked perfectly. The fun culminated with Emily is her gorgeous dress (one of my favorite pics, see below). I think Emily and the gang had a great time, and we got some fantabulous images. More images on the site. Click here to see a short video of the session. Enjoy….

Family Portrait Time...

It's that time of year... The Slate family portrait... We had a hard time deciding on what to do, so Michelle rounded up the clothes, I picked the area, and we were off... Of course photographing your own family is difficult enough, so I had on my patient pants... I had an idea before we went, M wasn't thrilled at the idea... However, after numerous trys, we ended up doing my idea, and it was the one we picked... Please leave us a comment or two and tell us your thoughts...

Lady Law Law....

Martha is a senior at Randolph HS (thanks Bailey)… I guess everyone wants to know why the title? Well, Martha loves, I mean absolutely loves, Lady Gaga. She also wants to practice law when she’s older. So why not combine Lady Gaga and a Law Attorney into one? She is funny, happy, bold, and full of personality. I’d also say she’s very photogenic. We started inside with the photobooth images, then went outside to our neighbor’s house and used his fence and field. We then captured some images with her favorite thing to do, reading books. We finished up with the car and some Gaga Hair images inside (see below). Martha brought her friend, Rebecca, with her and she helped out. We did take an image of Rebecca and Martha wearing cowboy hats that is so stinkin’ cute, but Martha would kill us if we posted it so you’ll just have to use your imagination with that one. The images turned out fantabulous and Martha, Rebecca, and Mom had a good time. There are some more images on our website, and click here to watch a short video from the session. Enjoy…
