Erika’s Senior Portrait Session - The Woodlands, Texas

August 30, 2008 – 12:28 pm

Last month, Chad and I headed over to Erika’s home in The Woodlands for her high school senior portraits.

I really enjoy senior sessions because you get to work with some young, beautiful, and intelligent students, and Erika was certainly no exception.

When we first arrived, Erika and her mom told me that they loved this photo on my website:

I love that photo too, but I am partial. (She’s my little sister!) Erika reminds me soooo much of Kristin (liking similar movies, plays, games, ivy league schools :p ). For the record, much to Chad’s dismay, Kristin is starting her second year at The University of Texas at Austin because it’s relatively local, and because of their awesome Geo Sciences program.

But enough about Kristin… this blog post is about Erika! So here’s some of my favorites, plus some photos of the whole family!

Doesn’t she have such beautiful eyes and long lashes!

While we were inside, we had Erika’s younger sister join her for some sisterly shots.

We headed outside for some nice outdoor shots in the family’s lush backyard. This fun shot below is the one she chose for her high school yearbook! Doesn’t she have gorgeous hair?!?

Then we grabbed the whole family for some fun and unique family shots!

Thanks everyone! It was a… splash!

Little Evyn’s Photoshoot - Old Town Spring, Texas

August 19, 2008 – 3:53 pm

Last Month, Chad and I were contacted by Molly and Travis to do a family shoot with their adorable little girl, Evyn.  Molly has seen blog posts of Jenna and Wyatt’s engagement session of Old Town Spring, and loved the surroundings.  I was so honored that people actually read my blogs that we planned a little session at some of the same locations in Old Town Spring. 

Little Evyn is a girl after my own heart.  I too was bald until the age of 2, but little Evyn wears it so well with precious little curls in the back!!

She truly adores her Mom and Dad, so we got lots of family shots of this wonderful close family.

Molly also wanted some photojournalistic style photos for their home, so we we had lots of fun creating unique, one of a kind images.

Enjoy!

 

Isn’t she the most adorable thing ever?  Plus, we found a boat, of all things, and got some fun shots playing in our lake of grass.  ;)

 

Silliness is best viewed large.  :)

 

This one may very well be my favorite…

 

Doesn’t she have the most gorgeous blue eyes?

 

This little girl loves bugs.  We told her there was a bug on my camera and she wanted to see for herself!

 

What’s that gator got in it’s mouth? (It ended up gobbling up lots of grass, rocks, and a sippy cup!)

 

Chad picked up a camera and helped me out.  While I was so enamoured with little  Evyn’s activities, he got this wide shot of the whole family.

 

Finally, I have got to get me a polka dot table.  Look how fun these are!

 

 

Thanks Molly, Travis, and Evyn!

Chad’s new toy…

August 17, 2008 – 2:43 am

When I’m not using it, that is. ;)

I’ve been behind in my blogging, so blog posts from past edited sessions are going to be coming out of order in the next month or so, but I thought I’d start with a personal one.

Since Chad has been second shooting with me more and more frequently, we needed to have a back-up camera for each of us. So instead of buying an additional back-up, we just decided to upgrade his camera.

Chad got himself a(nother) brand new Canon 5D. But when Chad isn’t commissioned to second shoot with me, you’ll see me at weddings dual wielding, looking like a small pack mule.

Without further adieu, here is Chad unveiling my his newest toy (and doing it while looking like a total dork).

Yes, a total dork.

Wall Arch in Moab, Utah

August 11, 2008 – 10:24 pm

With the collapse of Wall Arch yesterday in Arches National Park outside Moab, Utah, I thought I’d dig up one of the photos I took of the arch last year on the trip with my father.
