Layne & Jamie’s e-session

admin — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 03:34:12 +0000

I got a call from an old friend that I went to high school with and wanted to know if I would like to shoot her daughters wedding. I was shocked to find out that I had gotten that old, that I would know someone that had a girl that was old enough to get married. However, I was excited to hear from an old friend from my youth and was so happy that Bren thought of me to shoot Layne and Jamie’s e-session and wedding. Layne farms in Vernon Texas and Jamie lives in Quanah, TX, you probably have drove thru it on your way to Amarillo and if you blinked you probably missed it. We schedule the shoot for a balmy 113˚ west Texas summer day. Oh, I can still feel the heat, but we had a good time and walked around shooting against some great backdrops in this wonderful old town. I have to explain the last image, west Texas is known for the Tornado’s, so we had fun doing as setup shot that I could later come back and have a little fun in photoshop. Great couple and I really glad that I had the opportunity to be a part of this time in their life.

Amberle & Dennis E-session

admin — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 05:03:04 +0000

Amberle and Dennis showed up to my office with some very specific shots they would like to have for their engagements pictures. Amberle worked very hard pulling together all the clothing and makeing all the arrangements for this shoot. I may have to start hiring her for my commercial shoots, she did an awesome job making this shoot happen.

Amberle owns a beautiful Arabian mare (Amal Magidaa) that she keeps at Arabians Limited in Waco, Tx. Her mare is due to have it’s foal very soon! She smiles from ear to ear telling you just how excited about having her first foal… Amberle goes around the country showing this fantastic mare and has won numerous shows. I enjoyed this shoot and working with Amberle, Dennis and her mare (Amal Magidaa) all of them looked great! The people at Arabians Ltd. jumped in to help us and I really appreciated their help for helping with the mare and helping move the lights around when a few rain drops showed up! I love horses and shooting with animals can be extremely difficult, but this was not the case the their help. The only problem was a little hurricane name Alicia, but she to behaved too and she split and went north and south of Waco, we caught a drop or two, but all in all a great and fun day!

Nicole & Christopher e-session

Nicole and Chris showed up to my office and wanted to do some original and fun photos. We brainstormed and came up with a plan to do the engagement session someplace other than Dallas, yeah! They left my office with a lot of ideas, a few days passed and Nicole called and said they wanted to go to New Orleans. I was beating it was gone to be Las Vegas, probably a very good choice, me and the poker tables seem to like each other way to much. Nicole booked the flights and I was looking forward to the trip and some of the crazy ideas where they wanted to shoot their e-session pics. Was not excited about the heat or humidity that we were about to encounter, but we came up with a few original shots and yes the heat and humidity was awful!!! However, Nicole and Chris were fun to spend the day with and I wish them my best!

Heather & George E-session

Wow! Texas weather is interesting this time of year. It seems lately if I plan a shoot it will rain. Heather, George and I headed off to CTC auto ranch up in Denton to have a fun afternoon e-session and we thought we would beat the the thunderstorms well, we lost! But, we still managed to pull of a great shoot. George is a car guy and I love talking cars and he and I really enjoyed walking around just looking at the great collection of old cars. Heather sat in my truck taking awesome pictures with her iphone. Heather, I hope this are as good as the one you took. Enjoyed the afternoon!

admin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 00:47:40 +0000

Aaron, Stefanie, and I had a great time walking around downtown and getting to go up and get some roof shots. We have one more shoot left, I look forward to spending some more time with them exploring Austin City Limits. So, in the meantime I wanted to put up part 1 of 2 of our e-session. Thanks guy’s for such a fun day and can’t wait to travel to Austin.

Lisa & Phil e-session…

admin — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 03:27:27 +0000

Lisa & Phil wanted to take there engagement session at the State Fair and McKinney Cotton mill. Here are the final edits to there e-session. The last weekend at the State Fair was very busy getting in all the brides in to shoot there e-sessions and the first up that weekend were Lisa & Phil, recently we went to the Cotton Mill to finish up there totally hot e-session. Both setups brought many great backdrops and I think they look great and were very fun to hang with.

Mike & Kacey e-session

admin — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 06:32:51 +0000

This couple represents two of my favorite things, OSU and country music. Kacey is from Oklahoma and went to school at OSU (go pokes) and Mike is the lead singer of one of my favorite bands, Eli Young Band. We had a great road trip to Austin and New Braunfels getting these fun shots. The trip was filled with great conversation and making new friends. It has truly been a blessing getting to know them and I wish them all the best.

Nikki & Travis e-session

admin — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 05:33:00 +0000

Well, I mentioned in my previous post, the fair was a popular place to shoot. Nikki and Travis showed up early on Sunday morning the last day of the fair. Was very excited to get started and see what fun shots we would come up with. We also were schedule to go to a second location and upon our arrival at the second location, someone forgot to bring Nikki’s boots. So, to save Travis butt, I was happy to re-scheduled to shoot on another day. It all worked out great, I’m sure they will enjoy the pictures and the memories for a long time to come. Thanks guy’s for such a fun time taking your pictures. By the way, Travis is a fireman which may explain a few pictures below. Travis and Nikki, you Guy’s Rock!
