Can I be Frank with you...

... couldn't resist that one. Frank is a senior at JM. He came to us from experiencing his GF's session last August. Frank wanted some images with his car, his dog, his wrestling attire, and his Letterjacket and jersey... Unfortunately, his letter jacket hasn't come in yet, so that will be another time. Frank has a really cool red Audi car. His dog is the Target dog breed (bull terrier). I thought for a second I was working for Target (red car, white dog, red shirt) hehehehehe.... After we finished with the car and dog we set up the Wrestling portion of the session. Derrick, Frank's brother, helped out with the wrestling dummy part. He volunteered to be thrown, slammed, held, and pinned. When we finished, I thought they had been through an actual wrestling tournament. We got some great images.... and will have another session in the near future... More images on the site, and click here to see a short video from the session. As always, we love to read your comments. Enjoy.....

Miss Courtney P...

is a senior at Randolph HS. She came to us through our Rep Rebecca (thanks again). We've now photographed 8 seniors from RHS this school year. Courtney is a funny, outgoing, athletic, and down-to-earth young lady. She doesn't quite know what she wants to do after graduation, but she's leaning towards a Psychology major (maybe). Courtney wanted some images in her Cap and gown, so we decided to do them a little different... one trampoline, two flashes, and a very athletic subject, and the images turned out way cool.... I won't tell you the funny thing that happened, but you can ask Courtney (she'll never forget it) hehehehehe..... Courtney also wanted to have some portraits done with her dad's '79 Corvette... that was pretty cool. Lastly, she wanted some flower and field images with her dress... We got some fantabulous images of her, and I know she'll love them.... Thanks Courtney for choosing CK for your Senior portraits, we truly enjoyed your company... More images on the site, and click here for a short video of the session... Enjoy...

Fun with Dallas....

Dallas is a senior at Judson HS. She plans on attending UTSA in the Fall, where she wants to continue to play soccer. Dallas is an unusual name, but she's nothing close to ordinary. She's funny but reserved, athletic, intelligent (possibly a future doctor), and very caring. Dallas did an excellent job picking out her outfits. Her casual outfit, seemed to match the the environment well. Some of my favorites were in the flowers. Her dress brought out her beautiful skin tone and silky hair. We finished up with her soccer attire. Dallas was fun to work with, and we got some beautiful images of her. Hope she likes 'em.

Our 1st Senior Rep for 2013...

Isabel is going to be our Senior Rep at JM next 2013 school year. I've been privileged to know her for 2 years now. She's so cute and has a super-duper, bubbly personality. Oh Yeah, she doesn't have a problem speaking what's on her mind, i.e. she's outgoing and friendly. We know she'll do a great job for us next year... As for the images, I've been driving by one of our country neighbor's properties for a few weeks now. The flowers have bloomed near an old rustic barn, a few pecan trees, and an old (I mean old) tractor grator parked in the middle, the property was screaming, "Use me for someone's portraits". So after a stop by, short talk with Arthur, a phone call to his brother Conrad, we got permission and it was set. Thanks again Arthur for allowing us to use your beautiful property. We usually start photographing our Next Year Seniors in May, but the flowers won't wait, so we talked with Isabel, and coordinated the session. Isabel did a great job picking out her dress, and the jean jacket made the outfit sparkle. We got some great images. More images on the site.... If you're interested in Senior portraits for the 2013 season, ask Isabel for a card, you just may benefit from it.... Enjoy....

Future Pharmacist...

Courtney will be graduating from Texas A&M Kingsville this May. She plans on being a Pharmacist. She came to us from Corpus Christi, finding us on the web. Courtney is a very intelligent, tender-hearted, and special young lady. The one thing that really stood out to us was her thoughtfulness and gratitude (two character qualities that have seemed to have been lost in today's youth). Anyway, Courtney was excited to have her portraits taken, and we had a plan. Since she's going to be a pharmacist, we came up with some ideas using her lab coat and research stuff. Her friend Pearl came with her so we decided to use her as an assistant in the background (bet she didn't think she was going to be used as a model when she agreed to come with Courtney). We also used the low-key setting for a few images, then did her cap and gown. We went outside to take some portraits of her in her super-Spring, orange dress. The session went a little long, but the images turned out and Courtney is going to love 'em. It's such an honor to have someone drive over 150 miles to have us take their portraits... we are honored, Courtney, hopefully you had a good time... we know the pictures will be worth it all... Feel free to leave us some comments... Enjoy....

Daddy's Girl...

Ashley is one our Senior Reps this year... I've had the fortune of knowing her for 3 years now. She's a wonderful young lady... the kind any dad would love to have as a daughter (I'm certain her dad knows this for sure). She's very athletic, intelligent, disciplined, determined, and very down to earth. Ashley plans on attending Texas State in the Fall, and wants to major in Broadcast Journalism... Erin Andrews better watch out, 'cuz I have a feeling that Ashley might be takin' her spot (hehehehe). She's had us marked on her calendar for a while now and it's hard to believe it's already done. Ashley mentioned that she wanted to use her camo hunting attire for a few images. I had the idea of camo"ing" up her face and doing some cool concept images, so while we were down at a local park and just as the sun was setting, I took some HDR images to use for the portrait shown below. Ashley has so many fantabulous images, I'm sure she'll have a hard time choosing. Ashley thanks for being such a wonderful Rep for us, and we hope your images will be cherished for many years to come. More images on the site, and click here to see a short video from the session... We always love to read other's comments, so feel free to post some... Enjoy....

In a Rush...

... family that is. The Rush family came to us a few months back for a family portrait. We photographed their youngest daughter Martha's senior portraits last year, so they knew that we'd do a great job for them. The one thing I admired about the family is that all of the children are successful. Two are pilots in the military, one in college and the most eloquent of the bunch lives in up North and does something important (I just forgot). Mom and Dad are now "empty nesters" so they thought it was time for a family portrait. We all had a fun time, and most importantly, got some great images that will be treasured for a long, long time... Mr. and Mrs. Rush, your family is amazing, you've obviously done something right, we can clearly see the joy and companionship your children share with eachother... hopefully, someday, mine will do the same... Enjoy the portraits... and feel free to leave a comment or two.
