Portrait Session: Andrew and Meagan

A while back I did some family portraits for Andrew and Meagan. They just found out that they are pregnant and wanted some pre-baby family pictures before the baby comes. They were such fun to work with I can't wait until they come back with the new baby!

Maternity Portraits: Leslie

When I did Leslie's maternity session we decided to do something a bit more artistic and out of the ordinary. We tried a few outdoor shot since the weather was nice and they turned out great! I love the whole mother earth feel they have and the sun flare from the back gives the image a nice warm glow.
We also tried something new I've been thinking about with damp cheese cloth- yes I know it sounds terrible, but it looks cool and that's what counts! I wanted the convey the idea of the belly as a mold or and unfinished sculpture and the cheese cloth provided the perfect texture while allowing the outline of her hands to still show through.
We finished up with a plaster belly cast, Leslie opted to do one so that we could use it as a prop when we do little Remy's newborn session. You'll have to wait a little while to see what we do with that!

Bridal Portraits: Anna

I had the pleasure of shooting a bridal portrait session with Anna in and around downtown Brownwood earlier this month. The theme of our shoot was "Decayed Glamor", with the combination of Anna's traditional gown and veil, the fabulous hair and make-up provided by Kalle Martin and Kelcy Potts against a background of abandoned buildings the pictures came out great!

Commercial: A Taste of Heaven Bakery

I thought I would share some mouthwatering photos of the famous cake balls from A Taste of Heaven Bakery in Bangs. Lee is working on a new website so I've been over there shooting some pictures of her cakes and pastries. If you have a chance to get over to Bangs you simply must try the cake balls -even Kyle who hates cake can't resist them!

Portraits: Serenity

A little while ago I had the pleasure of photographing Serenity at Coggin Park. We had a great time - I followed while she ran around and played and the resulting images show her energetic personality and ready smile.
