Engaged: Daniel and Cara

Had a great time on Saturday with this young couple from our church, and got a free concert for my trouble. Daniel can flat play and Cara can flat sing…and play the harmonica too (who knew?). I had a ball guys. Here are a few sneak peeks. The rest are on the way soon!

Fun with Trevor (1 1/2)

Had a great time this past Saturday in Plano at the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve with my little buddy Trevor and his mom and dad. We not only took lots of great pics, we also walked ALL over the park. His mother, who was wearing tall heels, was quite the sport. The only time Trevor was unhappy was when we made him stop and sit down. But even then he was sweet as can be. Here’s a sneak peak of a few of my favorites from our session.

Custom Christmas Card Package (with my pics or yours)!

I’m excited to be introducing something very cool to all you who are local in Dallas Ft. Worth–and all of you who are in San Diego and Houston and Alaska. Something to make Christmastime a little less stressful, and to make your Christmas card stand out from the crowd. Introducing Christmas Portrait Session Packages featuring custom designed cards.

This is the perfect opportunity to couple a portrait session with something you will probably have to do anyway–send out Christmas cards. But what if you’re not local or just don’t have time to set up a portrait session? EASY–send me your own photos and I will retouch them and design your custom Christmas cards, which will be printed and mailed straight to your doorstep in under 2 weeks!  

Here are the three designs I am providing (which you will not find in the local big box store’s photo kiosk, incidentally). Other designs are available too–just give me a call to discuss.

Welcome Celeste

Little Celeste is the brand-spanking-newest baby I’ve gotten the chance to shoot since my last one was born. We took these a couple of Saturdays ago when she was 16 days old and she SLEPT the whole session long. Too bad that doesn’t last. But we got some awesome shots. Here are a few of my favorites. Can’t wait to show the rest to Mom & Dad.
