A Special Kind of Photo Session Filled With Over 55 Years of Love
This photo session was a first for me, and I'm pretty sure it will go down as one of my all time favorites. I was approached by a friend who was interested in doing an "engagement" type photo session. I just love this old black and white photo they brought with them...
Tasked with a Photo Shoot at the BMW Dallas Marathon! Yikes…
I love it when I get to try something new with my camera! This past weekend, I had the opportunity to photograph my nephew as he ran the BMW Dallas Marathon. I was so excited to give this a shot. I had never photographed anything like this before, so I carefully...
Keep Austin Weird: A Senior Photoshoot With My Favorite Longhorn
Keep Austin Weird. I see this on bumper stickers and t-shirts all over the place, but since I haven't spent much time in Austin, I didn't really completely understand it. After spending a weekend exploring the area and looking for fun spots to take senior photos, I...
Don’t Forget the Quiet Moments in Between All the Action Shots…
Everyone, myself included, always loves the action shots in sports photography. You know...the money shots. Your child scoring a goal in soccer, catching a pop-fly, tagging someone out at the plate, or throwing a perfect curve ball when they're pitching. Sometimes...
To Take Or Not To Take My “Real” Camera to the Fair??
For those of you who know me (and my camera), you know that the decision to head to the State Fair of Texas without my camera was not made lightly. Blackjack, my Sony A7rIII, comes with me almost everywhere. If I'm not carrying him around my neck, he's probably tucked...
Another Perfect Baseball Weekend with a Surprise Nike Ad Mixed In…
Another hot, humid weekend in Texas filled with baseball games at a tournament in Mesquite (with a soccer game mixed in just to spice things up)! We headed out to Mesquite, and of course I had my camera bag packed and ready to go. When we arrived, I realized this...
Sony A7rIII and the GoPro Hero 7 Black. Do I Really Need them Both? Yes…I do!
As photographer, I often struggle with whether or not to lug my big camera with its even bigger lenses with me everywhere I go. When I do leave the house without my camera, I often find myself wishing I had it with me. And many times, someone will walk up to me and...
Butterflies or a Trip to the Grocery Store?
I was pulling out of my driveway yesterday to head to the grocery store (one of my least favorite tasks), and as I was backing out, I noticed a really beautiful black and yellow butterfly enjoying my crazy, wild Lantana. My grocery list was long, but it had also been...
Soccer and Baseball Pictures with the Sony 70-200. Is This Lens Enough?
For several years now, I have been taking pictures of my kids at their soccer and baseball games with my Sony A7 RIII using my 70-200 lens. I would say that this is easily my favorite out of all my lenses! However, as my kids continue to grow, so does the size of the...
