Senior Season!

It's that time of year for senior portraits! Here are some highlights from our sessions over spring break!

 Cute couple who came out to model for us.

Seriously, some blue steal like this would have really come in handy back in my single days.

Great light.

So glad to get a few more "dude" shots in my portfolio...

Love. This.

Liz Bridals!

Now that the wedding's over, I can showcase the awesome work of my beautiful wife and partner! For the first time behind the lens, this is pretty impressive work! 

Velders Family

Got my photographix in this week with a family portrait shoot out in Prosper, which is a really beautiful place actually. Very bucolic and peaceful, the kind of place I'd love to set up shop in doing photography. I honestly have an obsession, I can sit down at my computer to edit images for 12 straight hours without even noticing it and have a blast the entire time. I want to do this full time so badly it's starting to be on my mind the entire day. Steve Jobs said in his Stanford commencement speech that the only way to do great work is to love what you do, and I passionately love this; I've just got to find a way to do it sustainably and have health insurance... I can see myself improving, not only in my confidence but in my technical ability as well. I love the feel of being a photographer, the reactions of clients when they give feedback on their images, the creative freedom, the getting to call the shots and make decisions, I honestly feel like I've found my true life's calling. It's that THING that I could do all day every day and never get tired of. Guess I'm a bit late having already gotten two degrees in literature and linguistics, but I guess it's never too late, and I'm only thirty... Ok, well enough journaling, let's get on to the images of the Velders family. Again, had an awesome time with my friend Rhonda, whom I had the pleasure of working with at school a few years ago. I love how we got the real smiles whenever the dogs came out, little Teddy and Mollly the weeny dogs, especially Teddy the future therapy dog. We got really lucky with some great light and some nice dramatic clouds.
