The Texas Wedding Photographer’s Survival Bag | Wedding Photographer Austin Texas

Texas Drought

There is a group of awesome photographers on Facebook who challenge ourselves weekly with assignments to sharpen or skills and creativity.  This week’s assignment is Melancholy.  Big word, right?   Melancholy:   noun: A deep, pensive, and long-lasting sadness.   I really brainstormed about this.  What could I capture that would show a long-lasting sadness?…

Jason | Austin Children Black and White Portraits

Sometimes I love presenting portraits in black and white.  There is something timeless about children when they are captured in black and white.  My goal in photographing children is to capture them as naturally as possible.  To me, the best session with a child is one where they are allowed to explore and express themself!…

Army Wife Boudoir Photos | Killeen Boudoir Photography

Mrs. L called me a few weeks ago to schedule a boudoir session.  Her husband is stationed in Iraq and she wanted to send him something special for his birthday.  We made arrangements for me to travel to Killeen to do an in-home session with her.  She was a little nervous at first but after cranking up…

I think brides should just come and read this post before they even start looking for their wedding photographer. Everything you wrote is so true. And I hope that in the end, the bride was thankful for your wisdom and taking the time to teach her. Thank you so much for sharing.

Happy First Day of School

It’s the first day of school for my girls.  I can’t believe that they are off to another year of learning and growing.  Both girls are starting new schools since we moved so there were many butterflies but thankfully no tears.  After a breakfast of blueberry Eggos they were out the door and off to…

Omigoodness, the pearl ties are so precious! Alas, the accessorizing that I miss out on in a household of all boys! ;) The first days of school have been good at our house. I’m trying to keep the tidal wave of papers organized (not my strongest asset, to be honest) and get into a schedule groove in the evenings.
