Feast or Famine

Wow, what a weekend! Three shoots this weekend (if you count the football game)! Sunday was quite a day! We got up eary (as usual) for church, got to church a little early and proceeded to walk in when Madison got her hand caught in the church's steel door. Her ring finger on the right hand got caught at the first knuckle (the one closest to the tip of the finger) and appeared deformed after the accident. My wife and I 'dumped' the two boys off on my 20 yr old neice and took Madi to the ER (Charlton Methodist). Luckily there wasnt a break (only soft tissue damage) and we got back for church to catch the end of service (we had quick service at the ER).

Sunday afternoon after pizza with the family and my sister in laws family at Roma's Pizza I headed back home for a shoot with the Westbury Family. They have two lovely children (12 year old Kaitlyn and 2 year old Madeline). It appears that Kaitlyn is ready to take on the world and perhaps modeling (very pretty young lady) and Madeline is ready to take on the world and everything else (aren't all two year olds like this)?

Today has been a great day! I got up before dawn and went to Prayer Mountain (in Texas) for my first Senior (2009) session. I had the pleasure of working with Kymberlin Whitehead. A beautiful young lady that lives in the nearby Arlington area. I wanted to post a couple pictures for them to see and enjoy.

Later in the day, Matthew (my oldest boy) played football against the Waxahachie Sioux in which he had 3 sacks, multiple tackles, an extra point score and overall played well...

I didn't have a shoot this weekend and I finished my wedding photos from September. This shot was from this past weekend. I've isolated Madison by selecting the background and polarizing it. Finally I've converted the image with a chocolate black and white color.

I finished processing the wedding pictures this past weekend and gave a preliminary cd to the couple. I am working on getting a pretty cd with custom labeling (lightscribe) for the bride and groom with a nice case for the cd. I am now working on custom template pictures for the bride, groom and family. Overall I am pleased with my first solo endeavor in wedding photography. I largely have to give credit to Marie at www.marieq.com for her mentorship that she has provided. I really believe that she is the preiminent photographer in the area!

I have been working as an assistant to Marie Q (she is awesome) in her weddings as she has been so gracious to allow me to work and learn with her. I wish I could post some of the photos from this past weekends shoot as the venue was soooo very cool! It was a backyard but was so detailed and groomed it would rival any outdoor venue in the area! Many cool photos are to be had from that shoot! Anyway, I am dillegently working on editing my wedding from a couple of weeks ago and posted another photo for the couple so they can see the progress... Hope you like what you see!

Danny and Lisa Williams wedding September 20th 2008 was set in the country of Waxahachie Texas at a quaint venue called Chapel Creek Manor. It has a barn, beautiful landscaping and a wonderful long fence. The bride was beautiful and the event turned out great. Congratulations Lisa and Dan Williams!
