6-17-08 Father's Day in D/FW

6-17-08

Father's Day with Dad and Doug. Martha, my mother by marriage ;) came up with the best entertainment. We set up chairs around a kiddie pool with a toddler in it. It was awesome. Reagan was in heaven until we took off her pool shoes and then had a little bit of trouble with balance, she loved it.

Hope you enjoy.

See you tomorrow with some shots for People Magazine.

6-12-08 Jessica + Bryan

6-12-08

We went out and photographed Jessica + Bryan on Monday afternoon, it was a super hot day but we muscled thru and came away with some lovely images. We visited some new haunts in East Austin, though MY gps must have been turned off since I can't even recall where we were. 

Their wedding is coming up next year and I'm super excited, for the party, it sounds like it's going to be a blow out!

Jessica will be debuting her skills as a wedding coordinator for their wedding, so I'll definitely post plenty of detail shots for all of your brides out there on the look out for a great planner.

Thanks for looking and we'll see you soon.

6-5-08 People Magazine Spread

6-5-08

So as I promised I wanted to send out to you the pictures from the recent People Magazine shoot, sadly I had to wait an extra long time as the editors decided to run it in part on the cover of the magazine and also in the Australian edition, so I couldn't put anything up until now.

So if everyone remembers the story correctly, it was a big story here in Texas. The state authorities, based on the allegations of young woman, flooded the FLDS compound and removed over 400 children from their parents and placed them in foster care all around the state. Some parents like the Jessops, seen here, went to court claiming the state had no right as they do not practice polygamy in their family. They won their case the their children were returned two days before these shots were taken.

Thank you for waiting, enjoy them!
