A Senior Session: Bryce Part 2 - Portraits

Dallas, TX - On Thursday I had a chance to meet back up with Bryce, a senior at Midlothian High School. We did part one of his session the week before. We shot some paintball action then, and we followed up with a casual portrait session in Downtown Dallas. Bryce was great to work with, took direction very well, and we had a great time. We caught a break from the rain and even got in a few rays of fading sun. Here are a few of my favorites from Bryce's session, and a link to a complete slide show with a full compliment of shots.

A Portrait Session: Tara - Singer and Actress

Dallas, TX - Deep Ellum - I found myself back in one of my favorite photography locations today. I was working with Tara, a 14 year old aspiring actress and singer. Tara needed new shots for her portfolio and I was glad to help out. We spent some time wandering the streets of Downtown Dallas and had an easy time finding great light and cool spots to shoot in . Tara had a great sense for when to turn on the smile and when to show her "dark side". She made it easy to get in all of the looks she needed to overhaul her portfolio. Here are a couple of my favorites from her session.

A Wedding: Jim and Penney

Dallas, TX - Jim and Penney were married on Friday, 08/08/08 at Arlington Hall in Lee Park, near downtown Dallas. The setting is beautiful, and the pictures came out great, if I do say so myself. Thanks to Jim and Penney for allowing me to share this special day with them. I don't have all of the photos processed yet, but I did pick some favorites after a few passes through the more than 1400 shots. More to come when I put together my Top 100 slide show.

A Senior Session: Bryce and Paintball

Midlothian, TX - Last night we completed part one of Bryce's Senior Location Session. Bryce is a senior at Midlothian High School and an avid paintballer. Ok, I just realized I'm not exactly sure what you call someone who plays paintball, but you get the idea. He's good at it, and I think the photos we got show that he loves it, too. Watch here next week for part 2 of Bryce's session where we make him look like a rock star in his street clothes.
