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.

 

Yellowstone Academy's Photo Club-Halloween Project!

in , ,

It has been a while since I've posted about my class at Yellowstone, so I thought I'd make a quick post with our Halloween Project this year.  I've got a new class this school year with 7 new students, and they are eager to learn about photography.  We'll be meeting Monday afternoons this year, and Yellowstone has moved to an all year calendar, so the students are currently on Fall break.  Before they left for Fall break, I wanted to introduce some concepts dealing with shutter speed, but I didn't want to get into too much, as long breaks can lead to forgetfulness.  So, I came up with an idea to take some spooky Halloween photos of our class, and use slow shutter speeds and double exposures to achieve ghostly effects!  All of the students will return to school on Halloween day, so they will come back to Photo Club's terrifying 1st show of the year!

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!
