Lindsay & Lee: Engaged

Oh I am soooo behind on blogging! So…Lindsay & Lee.

Love. Them. The two of them met out in San Diego, but as all good Texans do, Lindsay brought Lee back to the promised land. I can relate.

We had a wonderful morning in historic Gruene and as always, I am so happy that I got to spend some time with them. I really love engagement sessions. It’s such a relaxed time and it helps me make better images at a couple’s wedding. Also, you’ll not be surprised when I’m laying on the ground or climbing on something to get a shot.

I love knowing about my clients and want a totally comfortable relationship with them by the time the wedding rolls around. This is such a personal, relationship driven business for me. You are not a number or a date to me! Always remember that.

Also, take note of what these two are wearing – I loved it – especially Lindsay’s rockin’ shoes. As I always say “Coordinate, but do not match”.

On to pics!

I love harsh light, and while I know it’s not the most comfortable to pose in, it looks so awesome.

Yes, I found an alley in Gruene

Happy Birthday Ansel Adams

It’s Ansel’s B-day today!!! As far as black & white goes, he’s the man right?

from the Ansel Adams Gallery - Yosemite Valley, Thunderstorm; 1945

I have stood in this very spot and taken this very image, but it will never ever look this good.

The Zone System (which was pioneered by Adams) class almost killed me in art school, but I’m a better photographer because of it. Thanks for helping me understand the magic of the zones.

Olivia: Fearless Bridal

I get asked a lot if I do ‘Trash the Dress’ Sessions. Yes, I do, but I will qualify that statement by telling you ‘yes, but it’s not about the dress’. I don’t believe in trashing a dress for the sake of it. I believe in making cool images without the worry of keeping your dress pristine. Be beautiful, be brave, be fearless and we can have a great session with results like these.

You can see a few more on the website under the Bridal section.

Thanks Olivia!

You can only hope to contain me….

Remember this image from Steph & Jer’s awesome biking engagement session? Well it won a coool award. I am a member of a group called Modern Photographers. They had a Best of 2008 Engagement Image contest and this little gem was one of the winners!! It was judged by a group of wedding planners called i-wed.org.

You can pop on over to the Modern Photographers homepage to see a slideshow of all the winning images. It is incredibly inspiring to see all the awesome work. Who said wedding photography isn’t art?

Thanks Modern Photographers and thanks i-wed.org!

Extra special thanks to Steph and Jer just for being awesome.
