Katherine's Bridal Portraits

in

I had the pleasure of working with Katherine for her wedding, and I cannot find enough wonderful things to say about her and her husband, Michael.  They're both such fun, kind and genuine people, and they're true encouragers...they're those kind of people that after you've hung out with them, you just feel great!

Here are some of my favorites from Katherine's bridal portrait session at the River Oaks Garden Club Forum.  I'll be posting photos from their wedding soon.

 

Conspirare- New York

in , ,

Last February I had an amazing opportunity through fellow photographer Karen Sacher, to work with a chroal ensemble called Conspirare, lead by Craig Johnson.  The group had traveled to New York to preform around the city, and Karen and I followed them for a couple days, taking photos of their performances and rehearsals.  I also did some portraits of Craig.

Listening to their group was extraordinary and deeply inspirational!  Craig is a very kind person, and is so passionate about what he does.  I loved watching him work and orchestrate the group with such love and intensity.  It was a gift for me to witness an artist so connected to and passionate about his work and craft.  I look back at this trip last February with such fond memories.  Anytime your in New York creating work, it is wonderful, but to accompany Craig and his group, it was an experience I'll never forget.

Please visit their website, www.conspirare.org, to read about their group and mission, and to see a listing of their upcoming shows in Austin, Texas.

Incendiary-Washington Post Article

in , ,

My brother has co-directed a documentary film, and it is getting a lot of press and attention right now.  Not only because it is a great film, but also because it deals with an arson case that put a man on death row.  He was executed, but it seems perhaps for a crime that he did not committ.  Rick Perry had an important role in the case, and because of his recent presidential run, this has helped boost national interest in the case and in the film.

The film, Incendiary has been showing in Austin, at the Violet Crown, and opens in Washington D.C. this weekend.  The film will open in NYC the weekend of October 7th, then will travel to Dallas, TX the weekend of October 14th.  After Dallas, the film opens in LA November 18th.   If you haven't seen it, check it out.  It is very interesting, and extremely well done.  Incendiary is already an award winning film!

My brother emailed me a couple of days ago with this link to the Washington Post website, where their movie (and my photo!) was featured in an article.  Nothing like riding the coat tails of your famous brother!  You can check out the article and photo here.  And don't forget to check out the film if you can.  Click here for Incendiary's website, where you can find information about the film and showings.

Savannah Bridal Shoot

in ,

In July I did a bridal shoot in Savannah, Georgia.  Wormsloe Plantation and Bethesda were kind enough to let us shoot at their stunning locations.  Bethesda is "the oldest child caring institution in the country," established in 1740.  The history is so incredible in this great city, and I love the oaks and moss everywhere.  Enjoy!
