Some from the weekend...

As I had mentioned, it was going to be a busy weekend and it turned out to be about as expected. Here are a few images from some of the different events and sessions.

First off... Friday Night lights!

The Coppell Cowboys faced the Colleyville Heritage Panthers at Texas Stadium. Colleyville Heritage would go on to win this game 52-20. A tough end of the season for Coppell.











Then I had a great portrait session on Saturday morning with Catherine and her mother, Angela.



Later Saturday evening I went over to visit my friends at Vetro Art Glass in Grapevine. You probably have seen some other posts with pictures from my visits with these guys. Well, on Saturday they had their annual "Truth or Consequences" auction. It's quite an event and I would recommend it to anyone! People won some great pieces of art just for knowing some art glass trivia.



And for those pieces that the selected person didn't know the answer, it went up for auction. If the reserve price wasn't met, well....

As they say in the UK....It was a smashing good time!

A busy weekend coming up!

Well folks, since I had a few spare moments I thought I'd take a minute and remind everyone that it's still not to late to get those last minute custom Christmas cards made! I work with a great company who can still get these personalized cards out in time for the holiday season. Give me a call and let's get your family scheduled!

Now, with that out of the way. There are lots of fun projects coming up. Family portraits, high school play-off football at Texas Stadium, and several corporate sessions and of course, another seminar. I just love going to these learning sessions. This one is about some advanced lighting techniques that are used in wedding photography. With wedding season fast approaching it's time to brush up on the challenges surrounding shooting these events.

That's it for now! I'll post some from these events when I get a chance...

Another busy day....

When it rains, it pours! Did you know that is the slogan for Morton Salt? Just a piece of trivia from my History Channel television watching...

Yesterday was a pretty busy day and I pretty much criss-crossed the metroplex to take care of everything, but I was able to manage to get all the items on my to-do list checked off. The best part of the day was my last client, Tom. Tom had contacted me about doing some casual portraits because it had been quite some time since he had had any done of himself and thought maybe it was time to get one. Naturally I agreed, but not just because it's what I do, but because time flies so fast that we sometimes look up and realize we're five or ten years down the road, our family has grown and maybe someone has moved out of the area. Maybe it's our children away at school or our new job transfers us. Having pictures of your family together with you, be it at school or in your new house will certainly help make it your "home" much quicker. There's something about seeing your loved ones daily that just makes everything better.

Take the opportunity of the holidays, when your family gathers, to have a portrait done. They really don't take that long and the memory that it creates will last a lifetime.

Tom, here's just a quick shot from the session yesterday. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to work with you, I really enjoyed it and I'll talk to you soon.

Friday Night Lights!

The cooler temperatures are here and that really makes it feel like football weather! Last night I was in Coppell to help out a friend who among other things, shoots for the Coppell High School Cowboys. Tom is a great guy so when he asked if I could help out, I was more than happy to do so.

It was Senior Night, a night where they honor the athletes who are seniors and whose days of high school athletics, especially football, are winding down. It was really nice to see all the parents out on the field to take a moment with their young man or young woman who has been participating in athletics, or band, or drill team.

And then, it was time for football!







Coppell was hosting the Flower Mound Jaguars and it was quite a battle. The Jaguars jumped out to an early lead and by halftime things weren't looking to well for the Cowboys. But after halftime, and I'm sure a spirited lecture by the Coach, the Cowboys came out fighting. For a while it looked as though the Cowboys would overcome the deficit and although they narrowed the margin, they couldn't pull out the win tonight. They still have an opportunity for the post season and I hope that if they go on, that I will get a chance to join Tom and follow their progress.



All in all it was a lot of fun and seeing the good sportsmanship that both teams displayed was really something. Best of luck to both teams as they near the end of their schedules!
