Walking through the the Long Room in the Old Library at Temple College has to rank in my top 10 experiences. The library is known for housing ‘The Book of Kells’ that dates back to around the 8th Century, but is also contains about 200,000 other ancient books. I am so very thankful to have been given the privilege to be able to actually photograph this magical place. Typically no photographs are allowed. I did have to sign a release that states that I may not sell any of the images. So this is the only one of my thousands of photographs that I can show you, but you cannot purchase. I am just glad that I have this photograph to transport me back to this wonderful place. For those that are interested, this is actually a 5 exposure HDR.

I love my job. I spend my days (and many evenings) working to make beautiful people, places & things look their very best.
One of my recent clients specializes in kitchen & bath remodeling so I have spent quite a few hours this past month photographing inside peoples homes. I have had the opportunity to meet some great people in my attempt to capture images of some wonderful craftsmanship. The owner of this particular home shares her kitchen with a couple of dogs and fine looking cat. You can see where they are served their dinner next to the stools at the pass through bar.

Awhile back I posted a few images from a portrait photography session I did in downtown Austin of Denise and promised to post a few images of her friend Hollyn at a future date. Well, the future is now. It was a ton of fun spending some time photographing these two beautiful women. While I love my landscape & archetectural photography, photographing portraits & head shots is a bit more social. We always end up doing a lot of laughing & having a lot of fun during my portrait sessions. I’ve found that buildings, while beautiful, don’t laugh much.
Speaking of portraits, It’s that time of year when seniors are (or should be) thinking about your senior portraits. During the month of September I am offering a substantial discount off my session fees. Check out my Fee Schedule page for more information.

…Behind the Scenes…

This ‘purple hour’ photo of the Texas Capitol Annex is another image I shot during the recent Trey Ratcliff photowalk. (You can see another image I shot during the photo walk here.) This is a side of the Capitol that relatively few tourist see. This is on the north site of the capitol looking south. Most visitors walk up Congress avenue from the business & music district on the south side and enter the building from the south, never seeing this view.
