One to Venture Out....

Nicole is a Senior at Randolph HS. She's the eldest of four girls in her family. When asked who in her family is the most adventurous, out-going, and a tad bit of a rebel, Nicole answered, "me". Did I mention she also has "shampoo commercial hair". Nicole plans on becoming a physical therapist after finishing her education. She wants to help people and being a PT she'll do just that. The session started out with three vehicles in the driveway, consisting of her family and two friends. She used her parents Toyota pickup for some images with her dog, who by the way never warmed up to me ;( We had nine people in the front yard and I was the only male in the bunch. Talk about being out numbered... After taking some portraits in the haybarn, we headed to the tree line of crepe merdles, and wouldn't you know it, it started to rain (a common theme lately). So we headed inside and did some studio images for a composite (see below). Fortunately, we got to finish up outside. Nicole you were a blast to work with, and we hope you like the images as much as we do... More images on the site, and click here to watch a short video from the session.

A Little Italy, Texas Style....

Brittany came to us all the way from Italy (yes the country, not the city here in Texas). Her dad is in the Military and they used to live here, but since moved. We exchanged numerous emails over a period of about 4 months. Time went by and yesterday her senior portrait session wrapped up. When you meet Brittany she's really soft spoken, literally. Her voice is very soft, however she's a bold, energetic, expressive, and beautiful young lady. Her plans after high school are not official but she wants to do something with hair and makeup. Brittany paid me the highest compliment I've ever received (as a photographer). She said, "the best thing about this (meaning the portrait session) was you (me). I mean that in the nicest, non-creepy way". Man I feel like a photograhy king, being paid that kind of respect.... hehehehe. I think what she meant was that we are so alike, quick-witted, sharp sense of humor, realistic, and bold individuals, that we subliminally bonded (sounds very "psycho-bablish" doesn't it?). We get eachother. Anyway, the session was broken up into two days, due to the weather, and the second day, Brittany brought her sister and two best friends with her. Let's just say that there wasn't a dull moment. The images turned out great and she'll hopefully remember this the rest of her life. Brittany, you are a special young lady, always remember you have this special gift of putting smiles on other's faces (you have that ability).

Must See Places....

We recently returned from our annual Summer trip and I must say it was some of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. High atop the canyon rims, hiking down into the canyons below, climbing up spires 1500 feet above the valley floor, and hiking into slot canyons only 2-3 feet wide at places, we had the privilege of witnessing Creation at it's finest. There are many images on our site, so if your interested, click here to view more of them. Feel free to leave a comment. If some of the images inspire you to go and see these places, drop us a line and we'll give you details. It's hard to take a bad image of these places, so plan your trip now... Enjoy...

Lively Brenna...

came to us from Florida back in June. We photographed her sister a few years ago, and since have moved to Florida. Brenna is athletic, quick-witted, compassionate, and very family oriented. Did I mention lively, even being tired from driving straight through from Florida the day before, she still was game for spinning, walking, and giving me some sass during the session. She doesn't quite know what she wants to do later in life, but we do know after getting her education, she wants to have a family. Brenna's outfits seemed to suit her well. We got some great images, especially in the flowers. Her family is always a joy to be around, so close and fun-loving. We hope Brenna and family had a good time, and love the images...
