class of 2021 sessions underway

I kicked off senior portrait season with these two amazing ladies. Brains, balance and beauty — they’ve got it all! Christina attends Brazoswood High School and is a standout athlete and scholar. Madalyn is a Danbury homeschooler excelling in writing, dance, theatre and art. What fun it is to see both Madalyn and Christina embrace their gifts and share them with us! Blessings and…

How to become a bathing beauty in 12 easy steps

I have a tutorial to offer you today, and the lovely and talented Haley has graciously agreed to serve as our instructor. We begin with Step 1:  Relax and just be your natural, fabulously beautiful self. Steps 2-5:  Gradually move toward the water, playfully drawing ever nearer. Steps 6-10:  Casually step/kneel/sit in the water, gasp at how shockingly cold it is, and then just…

Senior Season 2014

It’s that time of year again!  For the next few months I’ll be traipsing all about the countryside with beautiful young people who are counting down the days until graduation.  Most of them will be high school seniors, but I’m hoping to have a few college grads as well. If you are one of those prospective grads (or you happen to know one you’d…

Fair Week Mini-Sessions

You may not know this, but you WANT me to come out to the Fairgrounds with you next week and take photos of you. Families, kids, Class of 2014 seniors, golden years seniors, couples, brides, ladies in fancy dresses, guys in boots and 10-gallon hats — the Fair makes the perfect backdrop for all sorts of great photos. Take, for instance, these fun shots…

More faces, more stories

This fall I had the joy of photographing several new faces as well as lots of familiar ones.   Some of those faces were extra furry! Some of them went home covered in saltwater and sand. Some families were still in the process of becoming perfectly blended … … while others have been inseparable since their very beginning. I got to catch up with the 5 households…

Getting out the word

I’m blessed with three, count ’em, THREE beautiful blondes as senior reps this year!  They are … Karly, Danbury High School Brooke, Brazoswood High School Allison, Angleton High School Ladies, I’m looking forward to meeting all of your friends and collaborating on lots of fun senior sessions this year.  Thanks so much for your assistance!

Spring Catch-Up, Part 2

Don’t worry, guys – I didn’t forget about you!  Here are the remaining Class of 2012 members I was privileged to photograph. We’ll begin with Taylor, a young man hoping to apply his great ideas and his family’s multi-generational farming experience to designing bigger and better equipment for John Deere.  I’m confident he really will make this happen. And his cousin Darren will be only too…

Mission: Spring Sessions Catch-Up

I’ll admit it.  I’ve been holding out on you for months, dear blog reader.  I didn’t really mean to do it, but I’m going to try to make things right. Because really – it’s cruel not to share these gorgeous seniors with you. I’ll begin with Erika if you’ll promise not to let her beauty stun you into looking no further.  We wandered all over Bar…

On the road to Thailand

“So what are your plans for next year?” It’s a question I love asking seniors as I’m taking their photos.  I get lots of answers:  heading to college here, heading to college there, heading into the service, heading into a new job, heading to Thailand. Thailand?! Yep, that was Taylor’s answer to my nosey question! She’ll be spending a year there as part of…
