I just couldn’t resist doing one more image with Terri. She gave me such a wealth of looks that I’ve just kept thinking about how to process them and create something uniquely “Terri”. While I like the other images I’ve created, this one really captures Terri’s spunkiness. And I like that about her. Happy Thursday [...]

I spent this past weekend photographing my friend Terri. Now Terri is a very outgoing, gregarious person who I doubt ever met a stranger. She’s just super friendly and she’s the person who becomes the life of the party as soon as she walks in the room. Terri is also a very artistic person. She [...]

Sorry it’s been awhile since my last post, but I’ve been busy working towards a new project. I’ve set myself a personal goal of photographing my friends in environments that means something to them and to me. This means that I’ve had to change the way I approach photography. And its a BIG change for [...]

Summer in Texas is always a challenge when it comes to dealing with the heat. This summer isn’t quite as bad as last year’s, but it still gets into the triple digits once and awhile. With that said, we are lucky here in North Texas, to have had a good amount of rain thus far [...]

This is a shot from our TV shoot with the marionettes. Needless to say we had a very fun time shooting this spot, despite the pressures of time that come with every production. Jim is our talent and he did a great job of playing the maniacal marionette operator, pulling the strings of our little [...]

Here’s another composite image from last weeks Sci-Fi Expo in Irving, Texas. I decided she should be in a school type setting, thus the blue interior. Here’s the before shot. The little girls makeup was spot on, as was her mom’s.

Over the past several days, I’ve received several inquiries to how I created the ultra-detailed portraits that I posted earlier on my blog. I’ve decided that the only way to answer these folks is to create a tutorial on just how I created these shots. First thing let me say that I have never created [...]

I love detail. Lot’s of it. But with portraits I have to tone it down a little. I’ve usually taken more of a glamour approach to portraits. That all changed this week. We are creating a new web site at my day job. Part of the new site is to create short bios of all [...]

Thanksgiving was great this year. No drama. No fights. Just good family time with food, football and fun. And photos. I surprised our family with a make shift photo setup in the garage of my in-laws. My thought being that I’d grab of few shots of everyone this year that didn’t have junk in the [...]

As some of you know, I don’t really do portraiture. People just aren’t my thing when it comes to photography. I am much more comfortable shooting mountains, buildings, forrest, churches, sunsets, etc. Why? I don’t know really, other than I get pretty uptight when someone is in front of my camera. I feel like I’m [...]
