Audra + Jamie

When I was asked to photography Audra’s wedding, I was immediately elated.  Audra is this beaming blonde beautiful sister of my  friend Christen who I absolutely adore.  In the very next second I was immediately filled with anxiety.  Audra would be getting married on New Year’s Day in Grapevine, just outside the DFW Metroplex.  I was open this year (typically I book PHOTO DOJO parties on New Year’s Day, but I had decided no more holidays away from my friends and family after missing yet another trip to Santa Fe with the Weigls.

Being a bit …

Katelyn Duncan | Pretty in Pink

No, I am not going to get into a diatribe about the John Waters films that helped formulate the early obsession with pop culture that drives so much of my work.  Instead I am going to actually shut up for a change and just get into it!  Here are the images from a quick session this week with Katelyn Duncan, a young model from San Marcos who seems to know half the people I know also, but we just crossed paths recently.   And boy want an intersection!!  Not only is she a joy to …

At long last, I have my session with Suzie!

Holy JEEZ I love it when I get to work with amazing people!  For the much anticipated (and delayed) bridal shoot with Suzie Jurado, I was blessed to have my A-Team onboard to assist.  Originally planned to be at the Lustre Pearl, this shoot was the brainchild of Suzie herself.  When we first began planning this shoot, I had nearly begged Suzie to let me try and impress her with my camera.  I former co-worker, Suzie was familiar with some of the high-quality-yet-standard-and-uniform youth sports portraiture for All American Photo, our short run as All …

Style Forward at the Swan Dive

We had been meaning to shoot at the Swan Dive once again for a more… publishable shoot for some time now.  Shortly after the release of Austin Monthly’s great spread by Andrew Chan at that venue, we decided to push it back and rethink lighting just a bit.  I decided to go with a much higher key composition than I first thought so that these would stand out.  With me is the beautiful and talented Anna Alvarez who is at the Salon at the Domain (book.  her.  now.) for hairstyle and a new collaboration with …

Cousins Take Turns with Maternity Photos

When it rains it pours, huh?  As one former wedding client begins her maternity photography with JWG PHOTOGRAPHY, another, and another show up… now, family calls on us as well!  Emily Fennell fantastic cousin Christen is just about ready to pop as we take some studio photos of the soon-to-be-Sophie belly and push the envelope from the traditional composition.  These are some of the highlights from that great shoot.  Thanks so much to Christen for trusting my vision and allowing me to get something that she’d never get from anyone else.  Also, big thanks to …

TWT Photo’s Taylor Thompson in studio for some fun with strobes!

When I have a half minute of *spare time* I spend time at the Pedernales Studios and start queing up some new lighting schemes for use on location. With the control of light in the studio, I can generate shooting habits that I practice on location. I know, sounds like a blast, huh? So to actually enjoy doing some of this work, I collaborate with some of the other guys from the studio or another creative like myself. Young Taylor of TWT Photography works on location with All American Photo during the youth sports season. …

Another stop at our studio for Maiya

A great morning with the elfishly cute Emily Nicole in the studio this weekend brought about laughs, Juan In A Million breakfast tacos, and OJ. The beverage, not the amazingly tough running back for the Bills. Maiya “Mai-Tai” Fennell is promising to be as much of a character as her mom.

 

None the less, this is a cutie if I ever saw one.  With a ton of expression already, I can’t wait to see what she blossoms into in the sessions to come.  You can contact me today to see about booking your Family Photography Program …

Jillian and Chris continue their expansion…

It’s no secret that I have my preferred vendors for venues, printing, catering, beauty, etc.  Mostly, these peeps are my buddies and pals from around the Central Texas Area.  These are great folks to know.  Getting to know them through work and projects establishes a great respect and admiration for work ethic and style.  One of my all-time favorite vendors are Jillian and Chris of Cedar Bend Events.  The shin-digs that these two put together are always a sum much greater than all the parts.  I see amazing work and beauty at their quaint and …

The Beauty at West 5th

I love it when my work is easy.  Who doesn’t?  So when I get to photograph a beautiful stylist with the stunning look and vast talent of Sarah, I get to streamline my workflow to the parts I really love.  Light.  Fun.  Camera.  That’s it!  Sarah is a stylist who makes innovative remain elegant.  It was a blast to work with her again.  Again?  Yup.  We met at Miranda and Austin’s awesome wedding at Cedar Creek where she transformed Miranda and company from natural beauties to styled, classy vixens for the special day.  Enjoy the …
