Kirsten was my first 'model' shoot. She was very fun and outgoing, easy to work with and I look forward to working with her again. She is is an up and comer in the industry and may be in a reality program on tv in the upcoming days. We took over 500 pictures during the shoot with many different outfits so watch out for many more pictures on my website at www.mike-jones-photography.smugmug.com

Waterfall (San Antonio) By the Riverwalk Mall

Shooting a wedding with Marie (http://www.marieq.com/) really opened my eyes again about never becoming complacent with camera skills. The photo shoot for the wedding showed some areas that I could definitely use improvement. Namely exposure settings. On our trip (a mini vacation to San Antonio) I shot 100% manual to get more proficient in utilizing the camera.

This is a shot of one of the many water fountains (waterfalls) of San Antonio. I love the linear shots and the feeling that they convey.

Thank you again Marie for the opportunity to shoot with you!

Football practice has started again and I have booked my first wedding for September! I took this picture of a youngster at one of our first football practices for this year. I cloned out his hand so that it appears under the cap he was holding and converted to Black and White. The photo turned out pretty well, but would have like to have gotten more pictures of him...

In the past couple of weeks I have had two inquiries about Wedding shoots. One in August and one in September. With any luck I will have some wedding pictures to post soon. Here is the latest of the lovely Tyler taken this past weekend. The shadowsoft action really makes this photo stand out. I also have a different frame on this photo for those of you to weigh your options.

I had the opportunity today to photograph a co-worker's daughter. She was very shy and unsure of the photography shoot but she came through with flying colors. Here is one of my favorites from the day!

Got back from a week in Altoona Pennsylvania for a convention. This picture of Matthew was taken this past Saturday during his football combine. It is sort of unsettling to see how big he is looking and to reflect on how much time has past since he was born. He looks like a little man here.
