this is why i love actors

They just know what to do. Like Savannah here. She's finishing up her senior year of high school and needed headshots for her college applications. Obviously, she's gorgeous. But that's not what made my job super easy. Savannah, though she'd never taken headshots before, had a lot of (humble) confidence and it shows! Well done, my dear.

I cannot wait to shoot Chris and Hope's wedding early next year.

The reasons should be obvious.

Seriously. These two.

richter family portraits

I had the pleasure of photographing the Richter family last week. Typically during a shoot I'll wait for moments of spontaneous laughter or loving looks between family members to snap a shot but on that day it was all I could do to catch 1/1000 of a second when these folks weren't laughing or yucking it up - it was awesome. Meredith is a senior this year at HCHS and we ended up having a mini senior portrait shoot toward the end. As you can see, she was easy to photograph. Such a treat!

People also get married. Alex and Nate will tie the knot this coming January (cue Avett Brothers). I'm excited. They are cute. And fun.

It was cold. Well, cold for Texas. Other than the cold, the weather was perfect for shooting outdoors. It had rained all day and was still overcast (beautiful color saturation and perfect lighting). Actually, the fact that it had rained all day wasn't great news for our dress, however, we made it work! Lucia brought with her a team that had one goal: don't let the dress touch the ground. They did a fine job. So did Lucia; she was so patient and never complained about the cold. She was absolutely stunning and made my job super easy.
