With the return of rain in our Central Texas sky after the crippling draughts of 201o and 2011, Lake Travis has begun its return to picturesque landscapes and lovely, rich sunsets to  on the west rim of Travis County just outside of Austin, Texas.  Amazingly, event venues have survived through the record heat and now are lush with grass, dark green cedars, and glowing dusks as wonderful backdrops to classic weddings such as Jon and Michelle’s celebration of unity at the Hacienda del Lago in Volente.  High on the ridge over looking the lake valley …

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 …

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 …

Posted on my Tumblr and D.A. pages last month, my work with new model Laura is the result of a great time in the studio and location.  As stated, Laura is new to photography modeling but something of a seasoned novice at fine art posing.  Modeling for the art department of Austin Community College, this sexy young lady is quite comfortable in her own skin.  Impossible to describe, Laura’s style is awesome and quite photogenic.  The only thing I can say negative about her is that she currently resides in Williamson county.  So you can …

What a blessing to have such an amazing team come together for a shoot so simple in design as this staged bridal portraiture to create such elegance in imaging.  Lyz was a true talent.  Notice here I am not calling her a model.  I have worked with more than enough models to grant me right to some typical generalizations now.  She listened to direction, created the movement and energy I asked for, and then ran with it like no one’s business.  As my lighting schemes developed through the shoot, she fed from my direction to …

Anyone who has worked with me, a bride, an art director, a model, has likely heard me sing the praises of Anna Alvarez, my stylist. Ready in the clutch and amazing with hair, no matter how crazy we go, this lady is amazing. When she told me about migrating once again into the north Austin for work, I rolled my eyes and wondered why… until meeting Laura and the other amazing ladies and gentlemen at the great looking Salon at the Domain. An absolute gem nestled next to Dillard’s and Maggiano’s …

This isn’t the first time I have been MORE than happy to step in to assist another great photographer. This time it was a fall wedding with Jen Brown Imaging. I can’t tell you enough just how much fun assisting at a wedding is for me. Removing myself from the role of organizer, I enjoy spending my time getting details of the wedding, a fresh angle of the ceremony, and filling up on reception fun! I get to help a fantastic (and brilliant) friend and former class mate, Jen Brown with …

I know that the “text” posts are more a soundboard for myself than any way of generating traffic (face it, we blog to create traffic, nothing more) but I also hope to cover a lot of ground that needs to filled in.

Firstly, I want to thank everyone who has been so supportive and patient while I split my business in half and start with the second tricky venture of taking over All American Photo.  Things within that original venture have quickly changed and we are now changing to All Star Photo in March and continuing …

It’s no secret the some of the best photographers come from Austin Community College.  Now, I don’t mean that good photographers by Austin standards, I am talking about solid photography that has proven to hold ground on the National level.  More than that, photography TEAMS have developed into friendships, second-shooter references, and shared spaces in hip Austin art galleries and shows through out the area.  Working with people from ACC tends to uncover great teams of photographers who are able to communicate in facial expressions and grunts to create a myriad of amazing photographs in …
