All Aboard: Bottkol Family

Waxahachie, TX - Friday afternoon I had another chance to photograph the Bottkol kids. We hung out on an abandoned train track and found some shade against an old rusty feed store. Waxahachie has great historic spots with lots of color and texture to shoot against. Where ever you are in Dallas, its worth the trip to come see me. Here are a few of my favorites from the shoot on Friday.

The Seidel Girls

Waxahachie, TX - Sunday afternoon the weather broke perfectly. The wind laid down and it got back up into the 60's. We had perfect light and historic downtown Waxahachie as a backdrop. A good friend brought her daughters down for a portrait session. We had a great time and as you can see, we got some beautiful results. Thanks, G.

My favorites, with commentary.

One of my favorites of the year...

Sometimes girls just wanna jump . . .
This is a wall hanger for sure . . .
Emily had a giggle between shots. I don't think she thought I would catch her giggling.
Isn't this the sweetest face ever ? Her daddy will melt when he sees this one.
My schedule for December is filling quickly. If you haven't booked, you still have time.

Wind & Cold Didn't Stop Ryan's Senior Session

Waxahachie, TX - This morning was the coldest, windiest day of the fall so far. Did I say WINDY ? Yeah, windy. But Ryan, a Senior at Midlothian High School didn't mind. He even played his guitar for me in that cold wind. If you've ever played the guitar, you know you have to enjoy alot to play it with frozen fingers! What I like about my job is that I get to meet great people and learn about them. Ryan is a great kid who loves his guitar, participates in his youth group at church and is headed to Tarleton State next fall. When his mom called me and told me he wore a cowboy hat and played the guitar, I had one image that immediately popped into my head. I got that shot. I'm proud of it, and I hope Ryan enjoyed helping me get it :-). Thanks Ryan.

Shemberger Six, A Family Session/Senior Session

Dallas, TX - This session was unique because I mixed a Family Session with a Senior Location shoot. Elizabeth contacted me and asked if we could shoot a family session, and take some separate time to get some shots of her son, Jave, for his senior photos. Jave is an actor and needed some new head shots for his portfolio, also. Of course, I was more than happy to help and I think we got some great stuff from the Senior Session and the Family set. Here are a few of my favorites from the afternoon. We shot on location in Deep Ellum and at my favorite park near downtown Dallas.

Jamison 3.0, A Family Session

Dallas, TX - This marks the 3rd year I've had the chance to shoot with The Jamison Family. This time around, they added one to the party! Welcome little Ethan to the group. His big sis has been my cover model for a couple of years now, so she's an old pro when it comes to shooting on location with me. This past weekend we enjoyed a morning in the park, playing in the leaves and checking out the ducks on Turtle Creek. Here are a few of my favorites from the day.
