Courtney & Clinton: engaged!

August 6, 2008 – 12:51 pm

I love shooting engagements and weddings.  The stories of how couples met, the proposal, and their plans for the future always make my heart melt.  Courtney and Clinton met at Texas Tech and Clinton popped the question while on a vacation with Courtney’s family at Disney World!  Clinton will spend this year teaching and coaching while Courtney completes her degree in finance.  Their wedding will be held at First Baptist Church of Midland, Texas in June of 2009.

Here are the photographs from a laid-back engagement session with Courtney and Clinton.  They were cracking up throughout the shoot.  We took our time on this session because we all wanted to catch Midland’s amazing sunset.  Check out the last two pics–it was totally worth the wait!

Odessa session at The Shack in the Back

August 4, 2008 – 8:49 pm

Logan is a super lucky six-year-old girl from Odessa. Not only did she get to experience a custom portrait session but she was able to do it with style! For this fun photo shoot, I met Logan and her parents at The Shack in the Back in Odessa, Texas. Logan enjoyed our time together and was excited to tell me all about her action-filled summer.

Miss Logan may have a sparkling career in photography ahead of her. She loves taking pictures and carries her camera with her at all times. portrait odessa (the shack)odessa-shack odessa-portrait session Odessa-portrait session Odessa-portraits portrait portraits I travel frequently to Odessa. If you are interested in a photography session in the Odessa Texas area, I would love to work with you! There is no mileage fee for travel within Midland or Odessa, Texas.

Photojournalism

July 17, 2008 – 9:36 pm

What an interesting week.

Yesterday Kathleen Thurber from the Midland Reporter-Telegram stopped by to ask me a few questions about my background and my photography business.  Her story should be featured in the online edition of the MRT next week–I will provide the link when it is available.

Today the co-publisher of a magazine contacted me.  She enjoys my work and knows that I hold a B.A. in journalism (news-editiorial) from Baylor University and an M.Ed from Concordia University.  I was asked to submit a photo essay featuring West Texas.  It will be fun to put my degree to use!

Morgan’s dance pictures

June 25, 2008 – 3:44 pm

Morgan is a teenager at our church as well as the daughter of our friends, Mark and Brenna. She is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside.

Earlier this year, Morgan had the standard group dance pictures taken but she wanted more custom, individual dance photographs taken that were not the basic studio-type of shots. Since Morgan is an active teenager who studies hard and is involved in ballet, clubs, activities, and church, we waited until after school was out to schedule the shoot. We squeezed this photography shoot in between an art class and her trip to Washington D.C. for a leadership conference.

Morgan, I enjoyed working with you and I hope you are having a great time in D.C.! Teen headshot individual portrait teen portrait custom dance portrait custom dance photograph
