Day After Shoot : Jackie and K.C

I had the pleasure of shooting a day after portrait session with Jackie and K.C. a couple of weeks ago at Scott and Lindsay Pruitt's horse ranch. Day After Shoots are a great chance to have a relaxed portrait session with out worrying about getting the dress dirty or making it to the reception on time. You can also use multiple locations, like the barn, ranch and field that aren't available on the wedding day but fit your style or sentimental meaning to you as a couple.
Thanks to Jackie and K.C. for modeling, Scott and Lindsay for letting us tromp around on their land, and Big Daddy and Flash Fire for being the most photogenic horses ever! Casual country style hair and make-up was provided by the fabulous Kalle Martin and Kelcy Potts, and the beautiful flowers were provided by Bangs Flowers and Gifts.

Family Portraits: The Guerreros

I had the pleasure of photographing Guerrero family a few weeks ago. We went out to a family friend's ranch to take some relaxed kid portraits and the results are terrific! Hannah, Reilly, and Rex had a blast feeding the ponies and chasing the cows. It certainly makes my job easier when the subjects are so cute! Thanks Hannah, Reilly, and Rex, I'll take your portraits anytime.

Bridal Portraits: Emma

I had the pleasure of shooting a bridal portrait session with Emma a couple of weeks ago before she returned home to England. The theme of our shoot was "Roaring 20's" which matched the style of Emma's gown perfectly. Amazing period style hair and make-up was provided by the fabulous Kalle Martin and Kelcy Potts, and the beautiful flowers were provided by Bangs Flowers and Gifts.

Brownwood Reunion: Photography Contest



The Brownwood Reunion Photography Contest has now come to an end. Thank you to everyone who participated, there was a lot of great art hanging in the Art Center downtown so if you didn't get by there to see it make sure that you come next year.
I entered my piece "The Diggers" and received an honorable mention award. For those of you who didn't enter, think about entering next time. It's a great opportunity to let the community at large see just how many talented people there are right here in Brownwood.
And speaking of talent I am proud to announce that two of my students won first place and the people's choice award! Congratulations to Suelma Orr and Pat Coursey!

Personal Projects: The Diggers

Today I wanted to share one of my personal fine art projects, titled "The Diggers". I think it is important for a creative professional to continue doing work solely for one's self not only because it stretches your creativity, but also because it allows you test out new techniques and concepts with people who are no paying you for absolute perfection.
Anyway, "The Diggers" is part of a series of pieces I am working on that tell a story, but exactly what that story is is entirely up to viewer. It is an exercise in imagination: Who are these people? What are they doing? Are they burying something? If so what? Are they digging something up? If so what? Who or what are they looking at? If they have been caught, what will they do next? What led up to this moment? Think about it and leave me a comment with your thoughts!
