She's with the band.

Actually, that's not entirely true.  She's is the band :) This girl can play like no body's business. A is a drummer, guitarist and a singer...oh did I mention she also plays the clarinet in marching band? 'Cause she does. I definitely wanted this senor's music to be part of her photos. Here is a lil' taste from my latest photo shoot :)

We took these near the Galleria and she changed in a bookstore and then had to walk through the mall in her formal and heels! It was definitely an adventure, we had a blast.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Live and unplugged in the park.

We had fun squeezing in Sally {my little Mustang} and driving all over town and striking poses. Thanks A. I had a blast hanging with you girl!

J & R just got married.

West Texas is mucho caliente in the summer, I mean melt your face off H O T! The day of J & R's wedding was even hotter, but I don't think they even noticed.  They only had eyes for each other.  J was stunning in her wedding gown and the heat didn't phase her a bit...even though I made them go outside and strike a few poses.

I so love this one.

The wedding party...melting in the sun but still puttin' on a smile.

Congratulations J. & R.

Sneaky Peak

Here’s a little sneak Peak of my latest senior shoot. S. was a total superstar, I mean this girls a natural.  She was such a good sport as we drove around town from location to location.  Unpacking, then repacking all the camera gear and props. Drive to next location and repeat…you get the idea.  The last pic is my fave co-starring Spot (her viola: thus named because the little guy got a chip when she was younger).

Loved the mustard cardigan-it’s pretty epic.

Isn’t she so very Alice from “Alice in Wonderland” in this next one?

A lazy day…and a dog-eating-horse?

Here I am. I have arrived at the age of twenty-six and some days I still ask myself the question “What do I want to be when I grow up?” I’m done with work for the day. Here I sit, in the sunlight. . .and sitting is a dangerous thing. I can’t seem to stop my brain from spinning in a million different directions.

I should go back to school. -This much, at least, I was certain of.

I should major in political science. -I somehow believe that I have something to contribute to this society.

I should become a councilor. -I know that I want to help people in some way. . .I want to change the world. Make it better somehow. I know so many people who are hurting, abused.

I should stick to what I started with: Art. I know it at least. –People have told me my whole life that I should do something with art. I love art, I love photography. It’s what I am doing right now; art. It just feels so, I don’t know; frivolous.

I wish someone would just tell me what I am supposed to do with my life. . .I feel so lost at times. –I had to end this train of thought. I had to do something. I had to keep busy . . .my camera that’s what I needed. I don’t think when I have my camera in my hands. I just look at the world through the lens, and it’s somehow a more beautiful place.

I decided to follow my nephew around, the results were actually quite humorous:

With his best friend.

Exploring.

Here is where the journey started to get interesting. . .he spotted his horse Little Bay and his dog Happy on the other side of the yard. So away we went. This is what we found:Awe, how cute. But wait! You might be surprised by the next few images.

I’m not sure what you’re seeing. . .but from this angle like she’s eating Happy’s nose.

I can’t even remember what I was so worried about before. . .I love my camera.

A stop in west Texas

She’s seven months prego and glowing.  Isn’t she tiny? They just found out it’s a little girl, but her little boy knew all along he was getting a sister…she would ask him from the beginning “Do you want a sister or a brother? Is it a boy or a girl?” and his little reply was always the same; “Sister, girl.”  He calls his mom “Mama-sita”  but “Sita” for short.  Is'n’t that adorable????

“Sita.” says her two and a half year old  “Jenna in there?” as he touches her stomach.  It was so cute, he would sit there and talk to his baby sister. As we did our shoot he would lay his ear down , as if to listen to her response to his cute chatter.  The little guy melted my heart.  Here are just a few shots from that day.
