Sweet!

Yesterday was the first monthly Dallas Professional Photographers’ Association meeting. Mrs. Teri Quance was there to school us on High School Seniors and everything related to them. She’s awesome and if you get the chance to hear her speak you definitely need to take advantage and do so.

Each month, the Dallas PPA has a “Print Competition” and one of my New Years’ resolutions was to enter the competition each month so I can work toward getting my “Master Photographer” certification. Surprisingly, I won first place in the Illustrative category with the following image… yeah me!

Babies are fun too!

As a male photographer, I have mostly left the younger children photography to the female photographers… because they’re just good at it and I haven’t been comfortable doing it. Women just have that motherly touch and it is very difficult for us guys to “get it”. It just doesn’t come naturally; at least to me it doesn’t.

This week, I had the distinct pleasure of photographing a beautiful 6-month-old baby girl named Addison. She is adorable and no more wording is necessary from me… enjoy!

Kids are FUN!

I’ve been really bad in that I haven’t blogged in FOREVER but who isn’t busy these days!?

This morning I had the pleasure of shooting a friend of mine and his son in Plano. Here are a few of (Dad) Reid and Ethan. Enjoy!

Headshots – The Fun Way

Even though Mr. Peter Snell is a high-powered businessman and professional negotiator and regularly dons a suit and tie, he felt his “normal” headshots just did not reveal the true “him”. I was all prepared to get Peter into the studio and repeat what most business people want in a headshot… a good pose, crystal clear, attention to detail, great background, and so on. However, Peter had a different plan altogether. These few images are the result of that extremely pleasant photo shoot. Lesson Learned… Be Yourself!

OpLove – The Swallow Family

Mark, Ashley, Addison, and Lilly Swallow… a beautiful family from the Dallas area blessed me by allowing me to photograph them on May 23rd, 2009 at The Shops at Legacy in Plano, Texas. We were worried about rain but God graced us with gorgeous weather just long enough to capture some beautiful images.

Mark is leaving soon to go to Georgia and then off to Iraq. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family and our appreciation of his service to our country can never be understated! Please enjoy these few photos of their family!
