Wanna Be Like Mike!

I recently photographed for Mike Lunceford's campaign for HISD Trustee in District 5. Mike is extremely dedicated to serving students in HISD, and would be a great trustee. His slogan..."STUDENTS FIRST!" That's definitely what we need to do! Check him out on the web at www.mikelunceford.com.

Little Layla Majors-Newborn Photos

Here are some newborn portraits that I took on Monday. Layla was one week old on Monday! She is a very sweet little baby. I wanted to do some photos of her in a basket by herself, but she just wanted to be in her mother's and father's arms!

Congratulations Emely and Mike!

Zelda and Henry's Wedding Part II

Here is Part II of Zelda and Henry's beautiful wedding! Have a great weekend, everyone!

Zelda and Henry's Wedding

This past weekend was Zelda and Henry's Wedding, and it was a beautiful wedding. The ceremony was in the Gem Hall of the Natural Science Museum, and the reception was downstairs in the Butter Fly Lobby. We took the bridal party pictures with the dinosaurs!

Zelda and Henry tied the knot after 9 years of dating, and I'm very happy for them! Here is photo post Part I from their wedding (Part II will come tomorrow). I'll also have a slideshow on my main website under the "Weddings" Portfolio by this afternoon. Enjoy!

Anna and Luke's Engagement Portraits

I'm sorry it has been so long since my last post! It was a busy August, to say the least, and September has gotten off to a running start! But I've got a lot of posting to catch up on, so here is a preview of what is to come:

-I began a personal project, photographing houses on the Texas coast. These houses are built in the middle of the bay, and are fishing lodges. Anyhow, I photographed using some old Polaroid Type 55 film (which unfortunately is discontinued now!). In my little free time, I am scanning in the photos, and I will post a couple soon. I'm very excited about this project, and its potential! Not to mention spending some time on the coast while pursuing these photos...

-This summer's senior portraits were a huge success, and I enjoyed photographing high school seniors from Episcopal High School, Kinkaid and Duchesne. I hope next year to expand to some more schools, but I will be posting my favorite senior portraits from this summer.

-Tintypes! I will be starting to make some more tintypes in the next month or so. The photo teacher at Episcopal High School has asked me to come give another lesson on tintype photography to her class, so I will be mixing some new chemistry and brushing up on my technique. I will keep y'all updated with my successes (and failures!) while trying to further my knowledge of this wonderful antique process.

-Trip to Santa Fe-- My wife and I attended a wedding in Santa Fe, and we had a wonderful time. I'll be posting some of the photos from that trip and from the wedding we went to. I will also talk about a couple of the galleries I went to see.

-Zelda and Henry's Wedding--Zelda and Henry are getting married this Saturday at the Museum of Natural Science! I'm really looking forward to it!

But for now...here are some engagement portraits of Anna and Luke.

Mamiya 6 Film Camera Photo

I hope all are doing well. I scanned this photo in yesterday, and have spent a little time working on it today. It was taken at a cemetery in Savannah, GA with my old Mamiya 6 medium format film camera. The camera is probably from the 1950s, and is pretty unpredictable. However, it takes some really neat photos. I thought it would be the perfect camera for the cemetery!

I love the texture and color in this photo. What a beautiful grave marker.

In other news, I saw the Phantom of the Opera with my wife last night at the Hobby Center downtown. It was awesome! I highly recommend going to see it if you can--I think the last show is coming up this Sunday, August 2nd.
