Ever get the feeling...

...that you are being watched?

Over a million have signed, but more signatures are needed!

Children's Portraits (and some mommy, too)

These are some portraits of one of my favorite families to photograph. Not only are these children beautiful, but they are very sweet and loving to their mommy...something I love to see! The finish was something I developed in Lightroom. Like it? It's antique-y! I think I'll call it Zatopek Antiquey. heh.

Baby!

You may remember their maternity session a while back from this post.

She was born on Earth Day! She's beautiful!

It's me!

Hey there! I'm sure I've severely disappointed so many of you by neglecting this blog. I have been very busy working it seems all the time on this, that, or the other thing. Kids and the man consume most of my time. Picture-takin',then post-processing and delivery take up another portion. Research, learning and marketing take up some more. I have to eat, sleep and play some, too. Then there's the poor ol' blog. It's last. I feel sorry for it. I think about it all the time. Really, I do!

So anyway, my point is, this evening I'm slaving away working on the computer trying to ready recent images to show the world, trying to finish up a project for a client, and trying so hard not to be neglectful of the blog and diligent about delivering beautiful pictures and albums to my clients. I'm in the zone, concentrating hard and I look around to my right and what do I see? My littlest finding something to keep herself entertained while I work so hard. I'm sorry, blog, but once again, I must neglect you. I will leave you with these images of what I saw when I turned around and why I have to now stop working...at least until she goes to bed.

Pretty Ladies in Gorgeous Dresses

I'm so lucky! I had the privilege of photographing lots of lovely ladies in gowns at a beautiful location. Does it get any better? Aren't these ladies beautiful?!




















This was a "Princess for a day" shoot organized by Keri Byer of the Austin Fairy Godmother Foundation.

Keri collects formal gowns for girls in need. Going to the prom, getting married, going to a reunion? Go borrow a dress, shoes and jewelry from your local Austin Fairy Godmother! This is a wonderful service she provides! If you have anything to donate, she takes current styles, dresses, shoes, jewelry, make-up, nail polish; anything that makes a girl feel pretty and happy. Contact her to find out how you can help.

Nycia did a beautiful job with everyone's hair. Yvette did wonderful make-up! She was a make-up artist in a past life. The location: Dunvegan Keep. This place is amazing!
The girls all looked gorgeous and I think they felt that way, too!

Debbie & Craig - March 29, 2008 - Corpus Christi

Ok, finally! Here is the link to my favorites gallery. These are my absolute favorite images from the day. I had to really get them down for the blog. Typically, I pick 10 - 20 favorites from the day, but I just couldn't pick. So, here they all are.

Debbie & Craig, I will be emailing you a link to the rest of the 900 and something photos for your private gallery in the next couple of days. Thank you so much for allowing us to spend the day with you and capture all the love surrounding you!

Happy April 1st!

Belly!

This is Mark and Myra. They are just lovely, and both beaming with anticipation! I have made a prediction as to what the gender of the baby will be. Can you guess?
