The Winner Is... Katy and Bill's Engagement Session - Galveston, Tx

I am not sure where to start. I had so many folks vote, and say such wonderful things. I am feeling kinda mushie (is that a word?).

Katy and Bill were refered to me by another wonderful couple you will be reading about soon. Katy chose me as their based on one photo in the engagement gallery of my website. She just had to have one just like it.

Well, I was a bit nervous, because I never do anything twice. I do not even know how, even if I wanted too. I joke around all the time saying I make it up as I go. That is completely true. I don't even like going to the same spots.

So the first time attempt we went to Discovery Green Park to take photographs. We struck out on that elusive sunset shot she was looking for. The next time we hit the beach. Now, mind you this was shortly after Ike had its way with us down here. Boy am I glad we did. It was amazing!

There were boats were boats should have not been, and the sunset was just stunning! I hope you all enjoy! Katy and Bill are so much fun, and willing to do just about anything I ask. However, their personalities really shined, so I did not have to make to many requests. Stay tuned for their wedding photos!

Enjoy!

Joline and Alex's Wedding Photography - Hotel Derek - Houston, Tx


Again trying to catch up with my blogging, and I have the very fabulous wedding of Joline and Alex to share with you all. The wedding was at Hotel Derek in Houston, and they did an amazing job. The Hotel is just amazing for an amazing weekend retreat or a wedding.

Joline and Alex are so much fun. They had this really awesome 80's cover band call The Lost Boys. I had the hardest time selecting images for this post, so it is a little longer than usual.

Here is the slideshow!

Enjoy!

A Whole Lot of Somethin' - Misty & Aarron - Chateau Elan


Lets air the business of the day. As for the previous emergency announcement we are okay. Yesterday, was sort of the deadline for me to head to my Aunt's and help her out with the kidos. However, the doctors came back with some good news. The infection in her husband's leg from the injury had not made it to the bones. Thank for the prayers!

Onto other business. In a previous post I talked about a little bit about Lightroom. Well, folks you are about to start seeing the results of what this amazing piece of software is doing for me. For now lets get caught up on some of the AMAZING weddings I have been photographing.

Let me introduce you guys to Misty and Aarron. They were married a while back at Chateau Elan just outside of Atlanta, GA. If you are looking for a place to have a wedding. This would be on my short list for sure. I must say I LOVE military weddings!

Here is the slideshow.

Enjoy!

Lightroom 2.0 Saves My Life


I can not tell you what this newest piece of software has done for my life. Lightroom 2.0 has completely changed my life and my business, and just about has done it overnight. A while back my very good friend Matt Dunmore convinced me to give it a try. I was also motivated by the fact I was going to see David Jay on his Free to Succeed Tour that was going to focus on the new product from Adobe. I had to give it a try so I could take away as much information as I could. Boy I am glad I did!

I went and saw his talk with Jasmine Star with some good friends of mine here in Houston (I would give you guys some blog love, but there are too many of you... This would sound like a Presidential speech... LOL!) There were so many wonderful things that they spoke about that I plan on trying, but I immediately took what they said in Lightroom and ran with it.

That alone has changed my life! I am not kidding either. Stay tuned folks good things are coming!

Enjoy!
