    Beaumont Texas Seniors | Aaron

    Class of 2010 coming your way! 🙂 Today’s senior is an aspiring 😉 Westbrook graduating senior Aaron. If you recognize Aaron’s eyes, they’re duplicates of his lovely sister Kyra, whose gorgeous wedding we covered back in January 🙂 Aaron plays drums in the band, guitar for the ladies and visualizes whirled peas. We began with he and his brothers in the Alex Durley Stadium stands at Westbrook cranking out some taps in the bright sunlight: 🙂 The guy is a master with the sticks, he was spinning one at this moment in his left hand and skimming the top of it with the other just tossed with his right: We…

    Beaumont Texas Seniors | Caitlin

    Senior Class of 2010 photo time! 🙂 Caitlin is a senior at Westbrook High School here in Beaumont, getting ready to tackle Texas A&M next year and wanted memories of her senior year etched in paper 🙂 Blessed with a huge smile, we had a lot of fun that day photographing her at a few new spots and an old one or 2. We missed getting to shoot on the McFaddin Ward house grounds by a few minutes, so instead headed over to a local park and church to take advantage of the peak season for flower gardens in our area: I love the innocence of that photo with the…

    Southeast Texas Seniors | Elissa

    Woo-hoo! It’s Class of 2010 Senior Portrait time! 😀 With the weather finally turning nicer, Elissa was the first to take the plunge. Coming into Beaumont from Mauriceville, Elissa is a multi-sport star for the LCM Battlin’ Lady Bears and the recent winner of the American Idol star Katharine McPhee look-alike contest. I made that last part up but she could win, just sayin… 🙂 Well… you really can’t tell from her “these boots are made for walkin'” photo… How about this one? 🙂 Not quite… tho you get a good view of her grandmother’s 1953 class ring, a family heirloom I could tell they treasured a lot. The above…

    Southeast Texas Seniors | Shelby

    Today we get to see what a windy day will bring you, awesome photos of Elissa‘s BFF from Little Cypress Mauriceville – Shelby 🙂 🙂 The weather has been beautiful most days the past few weeks and this day was no exception – we didn’t even need a fan for Shelby’s model portfolio for Hollister 🙂 Just one more before we moved on to a local park for a softer setting: Beautiful smile and eyes 🙂 Unfortunately, the freeze from a couple months ago really did a number on most of the green stuff, so we opted for more granite, water, brick, and stone. The athletic Battlin’ Bear duo Elissa…

    Bridge City Seniors | Trey

    On a bright sun-shiny day Trey and I got together for his senior portraits. He wanted a little urban, a little grunge, and a lotta Trey: 🙂 Trey is graduating this semester from Bridge City High School, where, according to him… he’s a triple letterman in band, BPA and the ladies. Planning to attend ETBU next year, Trey is on his way to a bright future 🙂 The weather was perfect that day, so Trey brought his sax out down by the river and wailed a bit for us: The man has style. A few more are below – congratulations on your senior year Trey, we’re proud of you 🙂

    Emily and Laura’s Graduation Week

    This past week has been a busy one for Kathy and Mike, as their 2 daughters both graduated! Laura, as co-valedictorian from the prestigious “Texas Academy Of Leadership In The Humanities”: And Emily, from the University of Houston with a degree in Industrial Design: We spent Saturday in the park photographing some celebration photos of both of them – some together and some 3 feet off the ground 🙂 I can vaguely remember feeling like that when I graduated, tho I didn’t get that much air when I celebrated 🙂 It had been a while since Emily had gotten any portraits done, so we had some fun and shot some…

    Jharell’s Cap and Gown

    Jharell’s mom recently asked me to take a few of Jharell in his cap and gown to finish his senior images. I had the perfect place in mind – using the MLK park here in Beaumont we got some very nice images filled with Martin Luther King’s quotes and the symbolism of the cap and gown: I have really enjoyed photographing this fine young man’s senior portraits – he’s got a lot going for him and I wish him the best in his future. I have several more senior sessions to post – up next are Laura and Emily’s sessions; and Jeanne and David’s wedding this weekend! 🙂
