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...

What should we bring to our photo session? What should my senior wear? How many changes of clothes should we bring? Where should we take his/her pictures? These are all questions I get from parents who schedule senior photo shoots with me. All great questions too, and...

A few weeks ago, I was at White Rock Lake for a short visit to cheer on (and photograph) my nephew who was running in the BMW Dallas Marathon. What a beautiful park. I have been there many times to ride my bike around the lake. It’s about 9 miles around the...

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...

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...

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...
