Music in the Garden
It’s the time of year when high-school seniors get their portraits taken to celebrate a major milestone in their lives. I love being a photographer; I get to work with young adults as they make the huge leap out of high school and on into the rest of their lives. It is great fun to be able to find something in their personality and interests that we can put into a unique portrait. Allison loves music and plays the guitar so we incorporated a wonderful, peaceful scene with her instrument and lovely personality to create this portrait: One of my favorite aspects of this particular image...
Read MoreOlympic Medal Winner
Sandie is a certified physical trainer with an Austin treatment center, and as it turns out she is also an Olympic and World Championship 400m relay medal winner as well! She told me something like “I have several of these medals, but I wasn’t able to find them all”; she seemed very humble… A pretty amazing person and set of physical accomplishments. You can see her Wikipedia page for more details. I was brought in to photograph her for some marketing work and so I went to her gym and we set up several different shots of her working out and posing with the equipment....

Cody graduates in May from Pflugerville High School and I was asked to photograph him for his senior invitations. We went to Pfluger Park to see what we could find and came across several pretty cool locations for an outdoor portrait.

Read MorePortrait of a Violist
Laura will be graduating from the University of Texas this Spring and she wanted a portrait she could use with upcoming performances. So we got together in my studio for a session with her instrument. I love the rich wood color her on the viola, which matches the rich, deep string sound of this beautiful instrument. Laura has a joyous personality and was great to work with and I think we created a great portrait of her and the viola, showing the fun in her smile and eyes matched with the seriousness of her...
Read MoreFamily Portrait at Mayfield Park
A while back I had the opportunity to photograph a family together at Mayfield park, one of my favorite places to go. It’s such a quiet, non-city kind of place, with an amazing garden and beautiful flowers. The garden is situated in a very nice nature preserve as well. I just love going there. The family was back together with the kids home from college, and they hadn’t had a portrait together for 10 years. Mom and dad wanted to create an image that had the feel of an image from their previous family portrait so they could be displayed together and show the progression of time in...
Read MorePortrait of a Director
As a member of the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce (a great organization!), I get to meet and interact with a lot of great people in the area. Recently I met the director of a local university and had the opportunity to work with him to create a portrait that he can use on his web site. These shoots are always fun and give me an opportunity to get to know people and their work a little bit. He has taught in several places around the globe, and has come here to open the new campus of the National American University in Georgetown. We have some amazing educational opportunities here in Central...
