This January, I was lucky to photograph Blue October’s lead guitarist’s wedding. Ron Parks Photography brought me along, and I had a great time.  This couple was so sweet, and really had a great ceremony.  The tears were flowing, but stay tuned because  I’m going to break this post up into two parts!  Thanks for letting me shoot with you Ron!

I had the privilege of working with Jason Speros Photography this summer!  This wedding was out at Old Glory Ranch in Wimberley, and it totally matched the heat of the summer.  This fun couple really tore up the dance floor when Professor D took the stage, and they were by far the most amazing band I have ever seen at a wedding!  Please enjoy the Chuck Taylors, suspenders, and joy from this wedding.  I’m so glad had the opportunity to work with Jason and this wonderful couple!

Addie’s Bday

So, on one of my whirlwind trips to Winnie I got to stop by Miss Addie’s birthday.  I only had about ten minutes at the party, but here is the big girl blowing out her candle.  Happy one year!

Kate and Cole

These kids are what great photos are made of.  They are big Longhorns, so we trekked all over campus, and to top it off they brought a couch!  We rounded our shoot out at the capitol, where they got engaged!  I’m so lucky to photograph these two love birds.  I hope you enjoy!

Hurricane Ike

So, I went back to my hometown, Winnie almost 1 month after the storm battered the Gulf Coast.  As we drove the 18 miles to the coast, we found our first photograph pretty quickly.

This alligator had been driven miles from his habitat in search of fresh water.  These men stopped to put the animal out of his misery because he would never make it back to a freshwater environment.  My mom and I continued down Highway 124, and just after the road ends in a sharp turn to the right onto 87 we found a car graveyard.

This RV caught our eye from the road, but as we tramped through the soft sand we started to notice other signs of life.

Household items were buried with the cars.

We continued our trip west towards Galveston.  Anyone who grew up in Winnie knows that you go over Rollover Pass to get to Galveston.  Rollover Pass is in the tiny town of Gilchrist, TX.  When my mom and I reached Rollover Pass, we had no idea we had already reached the small town.   We had passed a mere six houses on our way, and before we knew it we had traveled through the entire town.

The homes that made it through Ike in Gilchrist were built for a category 5 hurricane.  The place where I spent my summers at the beach was completely devastated.

This was as far west as we would make it.  To cross Rollover Pass you had to show proof of residency, rather that you were a former resident.  The bridge was in no condition for use.  The Canal City sign was erected to mark the neighborhood that existed there before Ike.

This is an exposed sand barrier.  It was placed underground to help prevent erosion, but Ike changed the face of the coastline in many ways.

This is my final frame of the day.  This is back in Winnie, and it’s my grandma’s house.  She hadn’t lived in the house for years, but her iconic Winnie Flower Shop sign was gone.

Sam and Jon’s Engaged Photos!

Here are a few pics that I did for Samantha and Jon!  I was doing double duty as matron of honor and photographer, so here are just a few of the ones we liked!

Kevin’s Senior Photo

So, this is my amazing little brother-in-law.  We did these in his backyard in about 2.5 minutes, but it only took him 30 seconds to pull out the modeling chops!

Carlita’s Theatrical Debut

Here is one of the loves of my life in her own feature film.  She’s pretty much a rock star, so please enjoy this snippet of Carlita.  This is my first attempt to usie the HD video on my D90.  I also used the standard software on my MacBook to edit this, so forgive me if the quality is less than stellar.
