Katie Lady....

Katie is a senior at Floresville. She came to us from a recommendation from another senior we photographed early last month (thanks Lauren). Katie is a bundle of joy. I don't think she stopped smiling for more than 15 seconds the entire session. When she plays sports, her coaches say she's very deceiving, she comes across as happy, soft, and fuzzy, but as soon as the clock starts, she's the most aggressive girl on the court (of course with a smile on her face). She wants to study rehabing the body at Texas A&M University. After her education she wants to become a physical therapist and do some coaching as well. I smell an athletic trainer/coach in her future. Anyway, Katie was a blast to work with... We battled the wind outside, in more ways than one, and finished up inside. I must say, Katie was so much fun... I bet she could have a good time tied up, hanging in a tree. We love Katie, she's so cute and bubbly... Hope you like'em? More images on the site.

A Pair of Queens....

Lauren is a senior at JM. She’s one of our REPS this year. She is a fun, very family friendly, intelligent, and vibrant, young lady. I had the fortune of having her in one of my classes, and also had her sister too (Hey Savannah!). Well, I guess I can start off by explaining the title. I don’t play poker, but this past weekend, I photographed two Queens. The Homecoming Queen and the Prom Queen. Lauren was the JM 2011 Prom Queen. She was so excited. Her dress was out of this world. We got an early sneak peek before everyone else did on Saturday night. Lauren wanted some images that reminded her of Taylor Swift, so we headed down to the creek. The images turned out great, and I got into some poison oak (I’m highly allergic to it, Thanks Lauren… hehehehehe). On Sunday, Lauren returned to finish her session. I must say she was glowing after winning the Prom Queen title. We photographed on the swing, in the fields, and finished up inside. The images turned out fantabulous. I must say, I love the Olson family. Mom, Dad, sister Savannah, and Lauren are so much fun to be around. Did I mention Savannah bowing down at Lauren’s feet (servant girl) and Dad taking a picture of himself in front of the Texas flag? Way too funny… The session was fun for all… More images on the SITE.

The Few, The Proud, The Homecoming Queen...

Danielle is a senior at JM. I've had the fortune of having her in two classes over her four year, high school tenure. She's a positive, upbeat, joyful, and person-you-want-to-be-around, young lady. She always has a smile on her face, and a warm greeting waiting for you every time she sees you. She is also the JM reigning Homecoming Queen. She wants to go to college, but might have a stint in the military beforehand (in the Marine Corp). Whatever she decides to do in life, I know for sure, she'll succeed and make a difference in the world. Our session was originally scheduled for a Saturday, but was switched to Friday (due to her Prom), and then we switched it from afternoon, to early morning. The weather started out warm and humid, within minutes of starting, the wind picked up and the temps dropped a little. We battled the wind the rest of the session. We were taking images in a flower field, when Danielle quietly told her mom something bit her. She got stung by a bee. It was in one of the flowers and when she sat down, it stung her. She's a tough cookie, didn't even bat an eye (probably the future Marine in her). The session went a little long (due to the wind, and of course slow me), but we got some great images and had a good time. Some more images are on the SITE, and click HERE TO WATCH A SHORT VIDEO of the session. Enjoy....

Ms. Jordan...

Jordan is a senior at Judson HS. We've photographed two of her cousins, so that's how she knew about us. Jordan is a well-rounded, very intelligent (ranked 4th in her class of over 600), and fun, young lady. She doesn't know what she wants to do when she gets done with school, but she knows she wants to help others (I'm sure she won't have a problem finding a job with that objective). She plans on attending a University in East Texas and play soccer there (forgot to mention that she's also athletic). Anyway, Jordan was a lot of fun to work with. I think we broke her smile along the way, but hey, when you're having fun and laughing, while you're getting really cool and pretty pictures taken, it's just a little side effect. Jordan had some really cool outfits. My favorite was the white sun dress and jean jacket. I'm biased when it comes to sundresses and jean jackets. We have access to a field that has some kind of greenish, yellow plant that covers about an acre, so of course we used it. Some of my favorites are from that location. We made our way around the property, and our neighbor's too. In the end, we got some fantabulous images that Jordan and mom hopefully like. Jordan, I hope your mouth muscles recharge by tomorrow, because it would be a shame to not show off that million dollar smile....

Snowboarding in Central Texas….

Zach is a senior at Wagner HS. He is a character. Very out-going, up-front, and absolutely loves the computer gaming world. But the story of the session was his passion for snowboarding. His dad is in the military, so he’s been all over the world. Skiing and snowboarding in Europe tops the list. He wants to study medicine and become a pharmacist later in life. We incorporated his gaming passions in the first part of the session, then got to his snowboarding talents. Funny thing is we’ve used our trampoline for several fun jumping shots with seniors before, but I never had someone on a snowboard use it. Zach seems to know how to work that board pretty good. The only set back was that the outfit he was wearing was a warm, winter suit. This is hot Texas. Zach’s a trooper though, so we made it through the session unscathed. We finished up in his hip-shirt and jeans. We had a great time, and the images turned out way cool. More on the site, and click here to watch a short video from the session. Enjoy…..

Strawberry Blonde and Freckles…

Kate is a senior at Floresville HS. She’s athletic, very down to earth, and fun to be around. My favorite types of images are ones that include freckles… I think they’re what represent us, marks that distinguish us, no two alike, yet represent the evidence of a creative & unique design by our Creator. Kate was a blast to work with. Her happy, smiley, and personable personality just draws you in. Did I mention she also has style? Her dress was absolutely gorgeous, not to mention her stylin’ shoes. I love the dresses that have texture, ruffles, etc… and when it’s form fitting, I think they are totally glamorous. Kate wants to go to school and study nursing… I think she’ll be perfect for that type of work. Her mom was so cute and full of personality. Kate says she’s always upbeat, positive, and encouraging… Why can’t we have more people in this world like that? I can see where Kate gets it from. We had a great time, got some fantabulous images, all the while sharing life with two individuals that seems to enjoy the journey… Man, it’s refreshing hanging out with people like that! Hopefully, Kate and mom feel the same way? More images on the site, and click here to see a short video from the session… Enjoy.
