Holiday Mini-Sessions Are Back!

2009-10-09T09:01:00.000-07:00

Holiday mini-sessions are back by popular demand. So if you are short on time this holiday season and need to update your family portrait, this is a great option for you.

I have blocked out 2 weekends in October as well as one weekend in November, and will be holding these mini sessions at the Mercer Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. These sessions typically last 20-30 minutes and are at a reduced rate. You will also receive a complimentary 8x10 photo from your session. Please see the flier below for more detailed information.

Call or email the studio to set up a session. Be sure to ask about holiday cards. A greeting card is the perfect way to showcase your new family photo.

Collages

2009-08-29T16:09:00.000-07:00

Today I was playing around with some of the photos I shot this summer. Here's one collage featuring some romantics from the Fast wedding. Nicci and Jared had a beautiful wedding.

Here's another collage from the wedding day, featuring the ladies preparing for the big day. I've have two different options on the collage below. One of the photos featured in it is a goofy shot of a couple of the bridesmaids...verses one that is a little more sweet and serious. I'll let you decide which you like better.

More images from the Fast wedding to come.

Color and Toning Options on Photos

2009-04-09T20:49:00.000-07:00

Clients will often ask me what specialty colors and tones are offered. Here are a few that are traditionally offered. The most common colors options offered are color, aged/sepia, balck and white (high contrast or low contrast), and selenium/cold tones. Of course additional toning is available upon request. Please contact the studio for more details.

My Little Sis Got Hitched!!

2009-04-09T17:53:00.000-07:00

My little sister got married on March 14, 2009 and I had the honor of doing her wedding photography. I'd also like to say a special thank you to my husband. He often will come along as a second shooter at weddings and he does such a wonderful job.
I'm almost done processing all of the wedding photos and wanted to give family and friends a little sneak peak. Meet the Weavers!

And now for my favorite part...the romantics of the adorable couple!

I had so much fun photographing this wedding. I hope you all enjoy the images.

Love is in the air...

Here is a sneak peak for Mandy and Zachary, who will be getting married this summer. This fire fighter and school teacher are such a cute pair. This was our second attempt at scheduling an engagement session, due to the unpredictable weather in Houston. I'm glad that this weekend worked out. So off we were, to shoot some engagement photos in College Station.

I had so much fun getting to know these two. On the way out of town we stopped at quite possibly the biggest gas stop store that I had ever seen. So thanks for introducing us to Buc-ee's. =)

The day had some ups and downs, as far as working with harsh sun light. However, we still got some great images.

We started off at a favorite chill spot of theirs'; Bottle Cap Alley and Dixie Chicken.

A few romantics around campus at Texas A&M...

We were even fortunate to snag a couple photos with Reveille, the official mascott of Texas A&M University...

We ended the day in the quaint little town of Calvert. This town had lots of interesting textures and colors from old buildings, which lent us a number of beautiful backdrops.

I hope the two of you had as much fun as I did. I'm looking forward to the wedding in June!

My little sister is growing up so fast. She is such a beautiful person both inside and out. It's been hard to live so far away and miss out on her growing up. Meet Julie...

Awe, to be young and carefree. I had a blast taking these photos!

Jimmy Class of 2009

Meet Jimmy! Class of 2009! Jimmy is another good look'n senior that I had the privelage of photographing while I was in California.

Here's a sneak peak for Jimmy and his family and friends...

Jamie Class of 2009

2009-01-11T11:06:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year every one! Over the holidays my husband and I were in California visiting family. It was nice to be back home and see some familiar sites...and some not so familiar ones. Things change in such a short amount of time.

And speaking of change, on of my sisters will be graduating this summer. Meet Jamie!

Jamie has grown up into an amazing young woman. And might I add, she is quite the tallented photographer (girl after my own heart). I had a blast shooting her senior portraits. Here's a sneak peak!

New Website!!

The new website is finally up and running. There are some minor changes that need to be made, but it's up!! I can't thank my loving husband enough for the hours of work that he put in to the design and implementation of this site. Thanks Babe!

Let me know what you guys think. Also, we're still trying to work out minor bugs. If you notice any issues let me know.

A Few Of My Favorites...

2008-06-21T16:41:00.000-07:00

I know...I know...It's been an incredibly long time since I have updated my dear blog. My goal is to try to keep it a little more up to date. I apologize to those of you who have been looking for updates.

I figured I'd backtrack a bit. Last December I shot photos from the Urban Trash the Dress workshop and I promised some photos...so I thought I'd start off with a few of my favorites from that day.

Here's the first photo. You may remember the article the was featured in the Houston Chronicle. This was the photo I was shooting when they got a picture of me.

Here are a few more...

"Urban Trash The Dress"--Houston Megashoot

2007-12-04T15:55:00.000-08:00

The past few months have been very busy. It was nice to take a break from it all and try some thing new last weekend.
I had the opportunity to participate in a Houston area workshop this weekend, called Urban Trash The Dress. Around 50-60 photographers and about 15-20 models participated in this event downtown, in the Theater District. It was a great experience being able to try out a new style of photography with the brides.
I was featured in the Houston Chronicle on Monday! See the image below:

"Trash The Dress" photo shoots have been becoming more and more popular with brides. This kind of photo shoot takes place after the Big Day. The bride tromps through dirt and water and ends up with some great images. You may be wondering: How some one could possibly destroy their sacred gown? And, why don't they just donate their gown or save it? Truth be told, after hours and hours of trying to keep your dress clean (both before and after the ceremony), "it might feel nice to let that heel tear the hem right before splashing into a giant puddle" (Dusty Rhodes, Houston Press).
