Another shot from a recent family portrait session. Momo (aka Marta) surrounded by her four adorable grand children. This was one of the very last images I shot at the end of a two and a half hour family session. It was an amazingly productive afternoon with tons of great photographs of a wonderful loving family.

Happy New Year to all! Recently I had the opportunity to do a portrait session for a wonderful family that will soon be moving out of their beautiful home complete with pond and relocating to a wonderful new home a few miles away. I was asked to do some environmental portraits that would not only show the family, but also a bit of the beautiful land where these children have been raised. It was a fun request helping preserve some memories in the process of out with old and in with the new. On this first day of 2010, I see the young man offering us the oar as a metaphor for opportunity.
I hope your new year allows you to grab the oar and create many beautiful memories.

Todays post is a bit more personal. Eleven years ago tonight I met my beautiful wife Beverly. It’s been the best 11 years ever and every year has been better than the last. Thank you Beverly for the love & support that you show me and those I love. All those that know you know what a lucky man I am to have you in my life.

I thought I’d share some more portraits I’ve recently photographed. To quote an old Irving Berlin tune: “Sisters, sisters, There were never such devoted sisters”. I had the pleasure of photographing a couple of wonderful twin sisters this past week. It was great spending a couple of hours together with these two gals & see the bond they have with each other. Both are not only beautiful, but brilliant too! One is an honor student in the Corps of Cadets at Texas A&M & the other is an honor student at its arch football rival, the University of Texas. They tell me that they are not actually identical twins, but I’m skeptical… I can’t imagine them being any closer.

I’ll also take this opportunity to say yes, I’d love to photograph you and/or your loved ones. If you need some Senior Portraits or new family portraits, please contact me.
