    Published in the January Bridal/ Wedding Edition of the VIP Magazine

    Just a quick note to say thank you to a couple of our beautiful brides (and handsome groom) Sam, Stacey and Jeremy – they are the feature brides and groom in the current January Bridal and Wedding Edition of VIP Magazine! See pages 21 and 23 for more details. They quoted me and Stacey in the article highlighting how current bridal couples are taking more risks to get great memories from such a great time in their lives. I also discussed Krystal and Ross’s experiential part of their wedding day, something we offer to all our couple’s as a way to slow the blur of their wedding day down and…

    Beaumont Seniors | Chelsea

    Chelsea wasn’t born in Texas, but she got here as soon as she could. 🙂 A Class of 2010 Senior at Legacy High School, we photographed her senior session recently on a beautiful afternoon here in Southeast Texas. She wanted a fun session in a few different locations around Beaumont, and moving quickly with her family and dog in tow, we had a blast 🙂 She *does* have beautiful eyes 🙂 From there we headed to the West side of Beaumont, to some property they keep their horses on… the sun was getting into the perfect position for skimming light across the tops of these wild flowers: The horses were…

    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 | Brittany

    On a cold windy Sunday afternoon Brittany and I got together (along with plenty of uncles, aunts, grandparents, cousins and mom 🙂 ) to photograph her senior portraits in and around Port Arthur. With her coming graduation from Memorial, this Titan is soon headed to the University of Houston campus 🙂 The area is beautiful, too bad we were nearly blown away by the wind that day. Taken in and around the seawall and Lamar State College Port Arthur, I love the historical part of Port Arthur. This one was taken downtown, around the old greyhound bus terminal. There are some beautiful abandoned buildings all around there, and one playful…

    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…
