my bride.

Last weekend my wife planned a great getaway weekend for my birthday and our upcoming 2 year anniversary. Well, we didn’t really get away to far, but we did go hangout in downtown Houston for the entire weekend. We slept in each day, (which after working at Mugz every weekday morning I have come to really appreciate), we watched a few episodes of Everybody Loves Raymond, ate at some awesome restaurants, and most of all, we relaxed.

I would not miss this awesome opportunity to take some photos of the most beautiful woman in the world. We headed to Discovery Green for some photos and I also starting working/experimenting with the Nikon CLS system by taking some head-shots in our hotel room. Simply another reason why Nikon>Canon!

So without any more rambling on my part, here are a few pictures from the weekend.

Kelsey – Seniors 2010.

A few weeks ago my wife and I made the trek out to the George Ranch to meet Kelsey and her dad for some senior portraits. It was so windy that day which made it a lot of fun to try and capture moments without hair in her face. On top of the wind, we were also fighting some nice showers throughout the day and then after the showers passed, we were fighting a bright sun. So we had many elements to deal with, but I would definitely say that this shoot was awesome. Kelsey was a great sport in doing whatever I told her and I think you will see by these shots, that Kelsey is a great person to be around.

Thanks for the opportunity to share part of your senior story with the world Kelsey!

Snow Day 2009

December 4th 2009 marked a great day in Richmond, TX history. Today it officially snowed in Richmond, TX before is snowed in New York City, NY. This is simply awesome. There was a sleet/snow/rain mixture that started about 6:30 a.m. and then it really started snowing about 8:30 and snowed until about 3 p.m. It was truly an awesome sight to see. My brother came out and helped me cover our plants in the backyard because it is going to get down into the 20’s tonight. So here are a few pictures from Snow Day 2009.

Stephanie, Seniors ‘10 – Homecoming.

A few weeks ago my cousin wanted to stop by my house to see my wife and I before she left for her homecoming date and dance. So I grabbed my camera and got a few shots in my yard before she left. My cousin, her brother, passed away tragically on December 13th, 2007. He was just about a month younger than I am. Since that day I have tried with everything in me to be an amazing brother to her. To support her, to pray for her, and to protect her in any way possible.

So here are a few pictures of Stephanie, Class of 2010. I am also doing her senior portrait session soon so you will see more of Stephanie in the coming months.

My brother & sister in-law live in Portland, OR. My wife and I visited a couple months ago and I got to take photos of our new nephew Simon. Simon is awesome. One of my favorite things about him is when he really gets laughing, his eyes turn into upside down crescent moons. It is very, very awesome. You can somewhat see what I’m talking about in these pictures. So here we go…

Fressia & Jeremiah

What a great wedding! There are just those times when you see love in many different ways. This wedding was one of those times. Fressia & Jeremiah were a couple who loved every single guest at their wedding in a very specific and unique way. There was so much joy throughout this ceremony and reception. Fressia & Jeremiah, thank you for the joy of capturing your story.

Kristina is a friend of mine from high school, Class of ‘01! She contacted me via facebook asking me to capture their day. It was a beautiful day full of laughs, smiles, happy tears and old high school friends. Look for more pictures to come soon.
