Butterflies at Stacey and Nigel’s Wedding

I love this image from Stacey and Nigel’s wedding at the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center that I shot back in October.  I remember driving to the Wildflower Center that afternoon and seeing literally thousands of butterflies in the air all along the way. And when I finally arrived, they were dancing all over the fields of purple wildflowers. It was magical. (Captured on Fuji Pro 400H film)

Paulette’s wedding day bridal portrait (and something blue)

As the new year creeps up, I’ve been going through all of  the images that I shot in 2009.  This bridal portrait comes from Paulette and Doug’s wedding that I second shot with my friend Sherry of Sherry Hammonds Photography back in September.

Their wedding ceremony was at St. Austin’s Catholic Church and their reception was held at the fabulous Green Pastures — I can’t wait to shoot there again! Green Pastures is great little gem of a venue!

Susan and Matt’s Engagement Album

I probably enjoy designing albums as much as I love taking photos.  It all goes back to story telling… and what better way to tell a story than in a clean, simple, and elegantly laid-out custom album?

Here is Susan and Matt’s engagement album.  It’s a 20-page  5″x7″ (horizontal) flush mount album with a custom fabric cover; the actual photos are traditional photographic prints (C-prints) that are flush-mounted onto rigid pages.

And because all of the materials that go into it are of archival quality, this little album may very well become a family heirloom to be cherished and passed on to generations to come.

Stacey and Nigel’s Wedding at the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center

Stacey and Nigel were married last month at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin, TX.  It was an awesome event! Kudos to Stacey’s mom, Karen, for planning such an fantastic wedding! I had a load of fun shooting this one, and I still get a chuckle out of the photos from the photobooth.

To see more  images from this wedding and to order prints, head on over to Stacey and Nigel’s gallery.

Me, in the photobooth at Stacey and Nigel’s Wedding

A proper blog posting on Stacey and Nigel’s wedding day is oh so near… In the meantime, the proofs are online in the gallery and ready for your viewing pleasure!

If Ben snapped your picture in the photobooth, you may want to head on over to the Photobooth Gallery and check it out.  While you’re there, you should order an 8×10 for your mother. Afterall, Christmas is just around the corner.

Ben’s also got a blog posting with more ‘booth photos that you should go check out. I’m going to agree with Ben, the ‘booth was an awesome idea!

The Mighty Mighty Parker / Bowman’s

What can I say about the Parker / Bowman’s? You guys rock my world. If a pack of wild dogs ate my family as a kid and I was left as orphan, I would have so wanted you to adopt me.  Come to think of it, I still want you to adopt me…

It was such a pleasure working with Jennifer (can I call you mom?) and her family, and I’m so honored that they chose me to capture the spirit of their close-knit family.

While I’m waiting for the adoption papers to go through, I thought I’d show some photos from The Parker / Bowman’s family photo shoot downtown Austin.   Enjoy!

If you’d like to see more photos from their shoot, head on over to the gallery.  (It’s password protected; but I’ll give you a hint: it’s Tiffany’s nickname.)

If you’d like to schedule your own photo session, contact me.  Skipping lessons are free!

Angelica and Stroud and their kiddos

The first time I met Angelica and Stroud was on the day of their family photo session. And when we showed up at the location that we had planned on, we found that it was being prepped for a wedding.  Yikes!  But sometimes plan B works out better than plan A; and a spot that I would have overlooked on any other day turned into the perfect backdrop for a perfect little family photo shoot… (added benefit: an awesome soundtrack to shoot to thanks to the bluegrass wedding band warming up).

Angelica and Stroud, I had such a good time hanging out y’all and photographing your little family! Thanks!

To see more images and to order prints head over to the gallery. (The password is Angelica’s son’s name.)

Susan and Matt’s Engagement Session

I met up with Susan and Matt down on South Congress one fine crisp cool autumn morning not too long ago to shoot their engagement photos. It’s always funny when I first start shooting, because more than likely my subjects are a tad nervous. And I like to tell them that I’m a tad nervous too (because I usually am), and that it’ll wear off soon. Well, let’s just say it didn’t take long for these two to unleash the fire.

Without further ado, here’s Susan and Matt:
