Gracen... An angel?

Here are a couple of images from my "angel" session with my oldest child, Gracen. She is an angel... Well at school anyway - not so much at home - she can "roll" her eyes better than I can. This session was done the day following my Lasik eye surgery. I was still pretty much blind (and very cranky) but we still managed to get some pretty cool images from the session.
Bill & Whitney are getting married!
Can someone please order some RAIN?
How much rain does it take to make our Waterfalls flow? For sure more than this. They are quickly disappearing! This is an image from the Cleaveland Session done a few months back. Years ago, you could barely hear anything in the grotto due to the roar of the flowing water. Now... just a trickle. If anyone knows a good rain dance, I am willing to pay for lessons.

Zac celebrates a few milestones
"Okay, but if I give up the diapers... can I keep the cool mud boots?"
Here's my Tacker (aka Zac or Zacharias as he is known by God). He is total boy. Well, except for the screaming like a girl thing he does every time his sisters take something of his away from him. Not sure how to teach him how to scream like a man. Favorite things to do: Eating snackies, watching American Dragon: Jake Long and burping.

Luke... I am your Father
This is my sister-in-law and partner-in-crime and her kiddos at Halloween. (Is it okay to hyphenate everything? well spell-check says Y-E-S) They came all the way from New Orleans to spend 5 hours partying with us at my oldest child's 7th birthday party. We had a blast in the studio creating silly portraits as party gifts. Boba Fett - You had me at Hello!
Rileigh Kate turms 5!
Kristin B. - America's Next Top Model
Here is an image from my session with Kristin B., another Faith Academy 2008 Graduate. She was a lot of fun. Her mother and big sis came along with to help out. Kristin really got into being "America's Next Top Model" for the afternoon. There were so many images with so many different looks... it was hard to believe it was the same girl from image to image. I had so many great images for her to choose from. She really rocked this session! Thanks Kristin and big sis Karen!
A Passion for Rusty Things!







For some reason... I love rusty objects. Cannot figure out why but it is kind of like my obsession with doors and chairs. Even during some of my college photography courses many years ago, I remember being drawn to things that were distressed and falling apart. Some of the images are from around our ranch, some from Arizona and New Orleans. I should make a book one day of all the rusty things I see. No one will buy the book, so I will just make one copy to place on my coffee table in my studio. The book will be simply titled.... "RUST" and here are the first 9 pages. ;o)Grandparents... Not just for hugs & kisses anymore.
I have been so fortunate lately to work with such wonderful loving families from all over the US. What a great idea. Don't just have your family portraits made and send them to Grandma and Grandpa.... Actually have them involved with the session. We never did this as kids and oh how I would love to have a professional portrait of me and my sisters with our grandparents.
Faith Academy Girls Win State 2A Track!
Able to leap tall buildings..... Bailey winning State
Check out these images from the family of KJ and Bailey. Look at Bailey pole vaulting! Like who does that? Other than maybe Super Girl! Incredible! Bailey & KJ took home trophies for 1st place 400M Relay (that was my all-time favorite as a track athlete in High School), the TAPPS 2A Pole Vault (would NEVER have attempted that in High School or EVER!) and State 2A Champions for Track & Feild 2008. You go girls! Nice to know all that hard work, injury and sweat was worth something so awesome.

KJ
Great! I hope I am not addicted to blogging now. This is fun! Sure hope someone reads it other than me. :o)
Bailey Shea
Check out this image from Bailey's Senior Session. We had so much fun, roaming around looking for fun spots to photograph. She was a natural! This was the front of her very cool, totally custom graduation announecment. Nothing blah and boring for this girl! Gig 'em Aggies!
Ranch Hand
Here the image that won me a first place at Austin Professional Photographers Association the past month. This is Cole. Isn't he cute? Four years old and ready to ride the range with Dad and Grandpa. Tons of "smiling" images of him but with this one, there is such a connection with the viewer. Thanks for an awesome session and award winning image Cole!
First Time Blogger!
Okay. Said I would NEVER have a blog. Said I would NEVER have enough time to maintain a blog but.... after a week long class with the amazing Sarah Petty, I was convinced... I HAVE TO HAVE A BLOG. So here it is. What do I do next??? Oh, pretty sure I am supposed to post a few images. I'll get right on that. I'm kind of scared, but I do see that there is a spell-check button. Good thing for me! Okay. Now I just have to figure out how to add a photo. Shouldn't be too hard. Right?
