A Prom Photo Session

By Chris | Published May 17, 2012

We recently had a pre-prom photo session with two awesome groups of students from Oak Ridge High School here in Texas. Pre-prom shoots are a lot like wedding day shoots, there’s a time crunch, dresses and tuxes to fluff and smooth, and everyone seems just a little nervous. But these students were complete troopers and [...]

A Glimps of Vermont, Winter, and Peacefulness

By Chris | Published May 15, 2012

I was pulling together a few photos from Vermont for a friend and stumbled upon this one. I realize I was supposed to share more from my Vermont Trip this February, but it just hasn’t happened yet. I’m sorry. I’ve failed. When I ran across this image, as I was digitally shuffling through so many [...]

5 Things: Raw Milk, Ten, Yard Work, Youth, Puerto Rican Food

By Chris | Published May 3, 2012

1. Raw Milk- I spent all of last Thursday on Gramen Farm in Tomball, Texas, starting the work on a brand new project. A cow licked my arm. Their tongues are HUGE. I learned tons and tons about raw milk and farming. I met some really amazing folks who I think will become fast friends. [...]

Jaclyn ~ A Senior Photo Session With Horses

When Jaclyn e-mailed me and said she wanted to to her senior photo session at her horse stables I was a tad giddy. I love horses. My uncle shoed them for a living when I was little and he had a horse named Major and I would go with my uncle to the stables and [...]

How to Reuse Used Candles

By Chris | Published April 25, 2012

If you’re like me you have about a million of these hanging out around your house. Dead candles. You know, the ones where the wick has burnt all the way down. Or the ones where the wick has buried itself in wax. Most people toss these. I have a box in the garage where I [...]

Melissa ~ Whimsical Senior Photo Session

By Chris | Published April 20, 2012

Melissa and I worked together to style her senior photo session. The goal was dreamy and whimsical with a touch of mystery. She has a great eye for fashion and picked out all her clothes. This was actually the same location we did the photo session with Tiffany and her girls, but to our surprise [...]

Riann’s One Year Photo Session

By Chris | Published April 17, 2012

I can not believe Riann is a year old. It seems like only yesterday we were at the farm shooting Kristen’s maternity photos and Riann’s newborn pictures (even though she was several weeks old cause decided to come extra early), and then her six month pictures. I’m going to blink my eyes and then I’ll [...]

Family Ties ~ Tiffany and Her Little Ladies

By Chris | Published April 13, 2012

Tiffany is a gem. I think we had to reschedule her session…three…no…four times. Between travel schedules, a ton of rain, and kid schedules it’s amazing we finally got to do this session. I can’t thank her enough for her flexibility and her willingness to try a new location and to just play and have fun [...]
