This photo sorta goes with my last post (Sir Jack;Old English Bulldog). Amos was sitting in the window the entire time Jack was having his portrait done watching the whole process. I’m not sure if Amos was Jealous (I doubt it since cats always know they are really in charge) or simply waiting for his close up.

Jack is an Old English Bulldog that was in need of a formal portrait. Due to his very busy social schedule I only had a short period between state functions to shoot his photograph. Despite his rather professional demeanor I found him exceptionally charming and quite warm. (I probably shouldn’t spoil his “tough guy” image but he was quite friendly & greeted me immediately with repeated wet slobbery kisses.)

This is a composite from a couple of Senior photos I did for Olivia. Olivia is on a five year program at A&M to get her Masters Degree in Accounting. The first four years she was in the Corps of Cadets and her one and only wardrobe selection was her Corps uniform. Since you may only be in the Corps for four years she is back to wearing ‘regular’ clothes around campus while finishing up her Masters. I wonder if it was easier before she had to decide what shoes to wear?… You will have to agree it doesn’t matter; Senior boots or high heels, she is beautiful.
On a side note, after working on blending the two photographs it occurred to me that this composite feels a little strange to me because Olivia does indeed have a twin sister. I’m used to seeing the two of them together rather than just seeing Olivia times two.

A previous client returned last month to get a few updated  images. Our previous shoot was in an urban setting so we thought we would do something different for this session. Denise put on her cowboy boots & jeans and we shot in local park that still had some color in the trees. (One advantage of shooting in Texas is the leaves don’t really drop till late December.) The shoot was tons of fun & Denise ended up with some great images to update her portfolio.
