Stephanie and Craig


We had the opportunity to shoot another great wedding out at Kindred Oaks for another great couple, Stephanie and Craig. The guys wore the Texas Tux look so we took advantage with a few poses. The girls were equally up for just about any pose and maybe even more fun loving than the guys. The couple had a amusing and different kind of style so the pictures kind of leaned that way. Stephanie and Craig were very cooperative willing to be available for all sorts of poses and even up for being drug away from their guests for sunset pictures during the reception. I think you'll agree the new addition at Kindred Oaks is a super backdrop for photos. Check out a few of Stephanie and Craig’s photos here even before they get back from their honeymoon.

Kadee and Ray


We traveled to Gruene for a engagement session with Kadee and Ray. What a great place to shoot. There are so many options for backgrounds and then you can stop in one of the many places there for a beer and listen to live music. Kadee is really Dr. Kadee Richter, a new Chiropractor. Her fiancĂ©, Ray is currently still in school working toward his degree. We had a great time them as we toured Gruene. They even brought Ray’s dog, Wrigley, yes named after the field. Ray is a big Cubs fan. After looking around a bunch of the great buildings in town we headed down to the river for a few more shots. I have posted a few of the photos here but you can find all of them here - http://www.photoreflect.com/pr3/thumbpage.aspx?e=7946103. We are looking forward to their wedding. With a great couple like this it should be a really fun evening.

William at 4 days old


What a treat for us, little Will brought his parents Geoff and Jasmine along for his itty bitty baby session. Geoff is an Army officer and serving our country fighting in Afghanistan. He is home for a very short leave and heads back in just a few days. His tour will be up in 3 months and we can't wait to hear the news that he is home for good. Jasmine looks wonderful and has glow about her. I think she is enjoying being a first time mom. She has a few challenges right now....baby William, husband deployed and finishing her law degree at the University of Texas at that same time! Jasmine will graduate in May. What a sweet new family.


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Rodeo Austin 2011


Vicki and I attended the Rodeo again this year. We always have a great time watching all of the action, ropen' and riden'. Those cowboys really have to work but I think the most fun is the mutton bustin'. This year a young lady, all of 7 years old, won the gold buckle. What a riot. I have added a few photos of the cowboys hard work but I think I was laughing too hard to shoot any of the mutton bustin. After the rodeo and during the set up for the concert I ducked out to see if I could find anything to shoot. There were a few spinning things out there so I shot them. This year the concert entertainment was supposed to be Blake Shelton but he had to do some TV stuff and was replace by LeAnn Rimes. I thought she did a great job, really talented.
