Hello again folks!

Yes, I know I have been slipping a bit on the blog end of things. It's been a crazy week! My apologies....


As I have said before, I think that education is very important no matter what you do and photography is certainly no different. Today was another one of those times where I had a chance to attend a local seminar by a respected photographer, Don Barnes. We had a great time watching Don demonstrate various techniques and work in his studio, It certainly gave me some great inspiration! He has some one of a kind equipment that he has built and seeing it in action was great. Don, thanks so much for sharing your time and knowledge. It is such a pleasure to work with photographers who are willing to teach others from their experience.

Additionally we had a chance to meet a few of Don's clients and even take a few shots ourselves. I'd like to say thanks to all of those folks for sharing their time today and especially to Dianne and her daughter, Jenny, who were kind enough to let me post their picture to the blog. Jenny had just had her senior pictures taken and she was such a natural that Don asked her if she would mind coming back to help out as a model for the seminar. Once things started rolling, we asked Dianne if she would mind jumping in for a few and she did just great also. What a team!

Again...thanks everyone!!

Back from Albuquerque!

I went out to Albuquerque last weekend to meet my family and attend the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta . Although the weather limited some of the events, we still had a great time!





Along with watching the balloons we traveled up to the top of Sandia Peak on the worlds longest tramway. What a view! And if the view from the tram or the top isn't enough for you, just look at the picture I took of one of their maintenance workers riding on top of the tram car! They do daily maintenance on the towers and cables and these folks are up there every day, no matter the weather!




I was also able to take a bit of time to photograph a fantastic young woman, Krysta. This is just one quick shot from the session and there are so many more wonderful images to go through it's going to be tough to pick a favorite. Thanks Krysta!




Well, that's about it for now. Lot's of catch up to do from being gone!

Deborah and Alan

It was another crazy week, but this time for a bit of a different reason. My best friend, Alan, got married over the weekend and I had the honor of being the best man. It was a beautiful day on Saturday when Deborah and Alan exchanged vows near Cedar Creek Lake. I am so happy for them both!

I only took a few quick shots of the couple because of my duties as Best Man, but I certainly wanted to have one for the blog!

Deborah and Alan..... Congratulations and best wishes!!

Some from the weekend

Hello folks,

Here are a couple shots from over the weekend. On Friday I was in Coppell at the Coppell High School Cowboys vs. Lewisville High School football game. I was helping out a friend who usually covers the Cowboys games but Tom was out of town so I jumped in and lent a hand. It was their homecoming and it was a fun night for all. The Lariettes had a special halftime show that included their fathers in a special dance routine that brought huge cheers form everyone. And of course, the crowing of the Homecoming Queen was a special moment that won't soon be forgotten. Tom will be posting images from all of the others that were helping cover that game shortly. Please click on Tom's link above for more information.






Then on Saturday I spent a few hours at the ranch where I board my horse, taking some shots of folks participating in the playday that was being held. It was a little hot, but I think everyone still had a great time working with their horses. For the folks that were interested in having their picture taken, just click on the horse picture below to be taken to the gallery where you can purchase a print if you would like. These will be available for a short time, so please order early. Thanks!
