Baseball Portrait Session: Midlothian Lone Sharks

Midlothian, TX - Thanks to the parents of the Midlothian Lone Sharks Baseball Team of the Midlothian Area Baseball Association for allowing me to come out and take the individual and team photos for the 2008 Spring Season. We got individual shots of each of the boys and a team photo. After the session, I stayed around to shoot some action during the Lone Sharks practice. The light was perfect and the all of the boys did well with the camera on them. Here are a few of my favorites.

If you are a coach or parent from another Midlothian Area Baseball team and need team and individual photos like these, please email to schedule a session with me.

Custom Portrait Composites

I think we used to know these as collages, but now the PC term for them is "composites". Some photographers call them story boards. The idea is that we take several of your favorite shots from a session and layer them into one big print. I think these are best printed on Gallery Canvas Wraps for more "WOW", but we can print them in any size or shape, on any medium.

Design fees are $100, and print prices are based on my standard print pricing. I try to build everything into a standard frame size for easy and inexpensive framing.

Here are some samples.


This will frame 18x24"
Each of these will frame to 11x30"



This would make a 16x20' or 24x30' canvas
This will frame 20x30"

An Engagement Session: Jim & Penney

I met with Jim and Penney today to discuss their upcoming wedding. We took time to shoot an engagement session at Arlington Hall on Turtle Creek Blvd. in Dallas. Arlington Hall is a popular place for weddings and is set in Lee Park north of Downtown Dallas. The grounds are beautiful and a great place to shoot any type of outdoor session. Congratulations to Jim and Penney. Here are a few shots from their session today.

Custom Sports Posters

One of my most popular products has been the sports compilation posters I create. I started doing these when a parent asked if she could get several photos printed on one large print. Immediately it popped in my head that I could go one better. So I created a custom sports poster for her. She ended up buying one for each sport her son played, and one other for her daughter! I create each poster from scratch, with a creative design, using photos I've taken at your game. Posters range in price by size, but the most popular is an 18x24" design that is $75. My fee for building the poster is $50, and then I add the print size on to that. I can print these up to 70 inches high if you really want to make a splash! Here are some examples...
You can even make one for your dog...

A Wedding: Jeremy and Beti Sartor

A couple of weeks ago I posted a few unfinished proofs from the Sartor Wedding. Now that I've delivered the finished product to the bride, I can share a gallery of my favorite images from the day. If you are looking for a wedding photographer, you can get a good feel for the style of work I do by looking at this. You will notice the glaring absence of the "stacked family" shots. I will and can do those traditional formal shots for you, but I prefer to shoot photos that I think you'll love in 15 or 20 years when you look back at the day. I don't happen to think those photos are the ones you'll cherish. Its just my style, but its your day and I'm there to shoot what makes you (and your parents) :-) happy.
