Engagement Session: Stephanie + Bradley

I had the pleasure of photographing Stephanie and Bradley's engagement portraits over 4th of July weekend. We did the portraits at Stephanie's family's place Rancho Del Orso outside of Comanche. The sky was threatening rain the whole time, but it waited until after we were done to let loose and we rolled with it. The upside of stormy weather is it gives you such dramatic skies.

Thanks to an amazing location, an awesome couple, and an array of photogenic animals we got some really cool shots - enjoy!

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.

Portrait Session: David

Last week I had my first senior portrait session of 2009. David is a senior at Early High School and seems to have it all lined up. He is an Eagle Scout, has a job working at Brookshires. He is joining the army after he graduates and leaves for basic training in June. He has even preregistered for college when his term of service is up. We took some studio portraits and then headed out to Brookesmith for some outdoor shots at David's Grandfather's ranch. We made sure to get some with one of the two original trees that were on the land when David's Great-Grandfather bought it in the 30s. David was a lot of fun to photograph and we wish him all the luck in the world as he heads off to the army!
