May I please direct your attention to my new and improved website: www.SamuelSethPhotography.com<br />
It will read the same over there, but it will look much better. Please head over and browse around, enter the contest, and share the page. You'll be glad you did.<br />
<br />
My name is Samuel Seth, and many of you may know me from <a href="http://www.slickpix.net/" target="_blank" title="Slick Pix Photography">Slick Pix Photography.</a><br />
When I started Slick Pix Photography several years ago, I wanted to cover it all: Weddings, People, Places, and Cars. As the years passed I found myself shooting mainly people: Weddings, Portraits, Seniors, Families, etc. Sure I’ve done some automotive and other work over the years, but I find myself wanting to focus mainly on people.<br />
There’s something special about the human subject. Especially when that subject is engaged in an emotional, life-changing event. The shape of our face reveals how we are feeling at that <em>precise</em> moment more than any other bodily feature. With our eyes, the shape of our mouth, the tilt of our head- they all play a part in expressing our emotions in that moment in time. And I get to document it.<br />
Weddings are one of the most challenging but rewarding events to document. During the entire day, there are so many nuances of emotion from every person in attendance. People laughing, some racked with nervousness, while others are crying, and still others (such as the little ones) are visually bored out of their minds, and everything in between. So I count it as quite a privilege to stop these moments in time and provide them to clients so that <em>they</em> can enjoy them throughout the years to come.<br />
The image below is a prime example. The look they’re passing during this wedding ceremony conveys so many things and tells such a story, I could go on for pages about what they might be feeling in that moment in time. But this couple will remember <em>exactly</em> what they were thinking and feeling at this moment.<img class="size-full wp-image-220 aligncenter" height="567" src="http://samuelsethphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Samuel-Seth-Photography-Wedding-Portfolio018.jpg" title="Samuel Seth Photography Wedding Portfolio018" width="850" /><br />
<br />
But Weddings aren’t the only worthy subject in photographic documentation. I often look back at the old Polaroids my parents took of me and my siblings, and the only regret I have is that there weren’t <em>more</em> that were taken. I also wish we would have taken the time to have some professional photos done at least once a year. Time moves so fast and we keep meaning to get around to it, but before you know it, the kids are no longer kids anymore and the parents have become grandparents. So I also really enjoy providing families with high-quality portraits, whether it’s newborns, or High School Seniors. I know for a fact that ten years from now these very images I provide will be gazed upon with much appreciation.<br />
The two images below, while different families, illustrates how quickly time flies. These images were taken about a year ago, and each of their families have changed much since then, with the kids getting taller, and the baby growing larger.<br />
<br />
<div class="pp-img-protect pp-img-protect-aligncenter" style="width: 850px;"> <img alt="Houston Family Portraits" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-321" height="633" src="http://samuelsethphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/storyboard0011.jpg" title="Hererra and Hernandez Family" width="850" /></div><h1>Here’s the Part you DON’T want to miss-</h1><div style="text-align: left;">Recently on my Slick Pix Facebook fan-page I’ve been talking about a HUGE announcement in the works for the past month or so. Well you’ve found it! Not only is the announcement about a completely new site and new brand for myself, but I’m also running a CONTEST for the month of November.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> Seeing as how I’ve had to create a new Facebook Business page to represent myself on the largest social media network the world has ever seen, we’re going to have to get as many “Likes” to that page as possible. This is where YOU come in.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> To be eligible, of course, you are going to have to “Like” my Facebook business page. You can get to it by clicking the “Lets become Facebook Friends” button up top. But if you don’t want to go back up there, here’s a link: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Samuel-Seth-Photography/171603836255437" target="_blank" title="Facebook Fan Page">Like This Page to Win!</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"> The way it will work is this: After you “Like” the page, you’re going to refer all of your friends to my page and they’re going to “Like” the page too. But after<em> they</em> “Like” the page, they’re going to have to post on the wall who sent them- they’ll have to refer to you by name. For example: “Dwight Schrute Sent me…” I’ll be keeping tally’s of who has the most referrals and at the end of November, whoever has the most referrals wins. Here’s the fun part: The friends you refer will also be able to play. So you’ll have to keep up your game if you’re going to refer more than they do. I suggest using the “Share this on Facebook Button” below this post.</div><h1 style="text-align: left;"> This brings us to- “Win What?”</h1><div style="text-align: left;"> The Grand Prize will be a full, Two-Hour Photo Session to be shot either here at my Home Studio, or at a place of your desire within 25-miles of the Studio. This generally covers most of Houston and up into The Woodlands, TX. Travel beyond 25-miles is subject to a small travel fee, but if you do live outside Houston, all you’ll have to pay is the travel fee. The photo session is ON ME.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> It won’t be just any photo session though. With this photo session, sure, you’ll get the standard adjustments and enhancements on select photos (which makes our photos look so great) as well as a personal online gallery for future print ordering and sharing with friends and family, but you’ll ALSO receive a set of 25 Custom Designed greeting cards, AND One Free 11″x14″ Fine Art Stretched Canvas Print that comes ready-to-hang. Images to be used on cards and Canvas print must be chosen within 30-days after image presentation. If you don’t choose what images you want printed within those 30-days, then I choose the best images to use and deliver the goods to you. (Actually you’d come pick them up but those are the restrictions)</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div class="pp-img-protect pp-img-protect-aligncenter" style="width: 850px;"> <img alt="Houston Wedding Photographer Canvas Print" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-500" height="567" src="http://samuelsethphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/MG_7676.jpg" title="Canvas Print" width="850" /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;"> Second Place-</h2>We don’t want all the hard work of the guy or gal in second place to come in unrewarded now do we?<br />
Well for second place I’ll be offering a 1-hour mini-session to be held here at the Home Studio, along with Two 5×7 and one 8×10 professional quality photographic prints for you to take home, in addition to the standard image processing and online gallery that comes with the grand prize mentioned above. The restrictions are the same for this prize as well. Images to be delivered in the included prints must be chosen within 30-days that I send you the link to your personal online gallery. After 30-days, I’ll choose what I think are the best images and have them printed for you to pickup.<br />
Either of these prizes may be used for any photo session you desire- Bridal, Engagement, Family, Maternity, Newborn, High-School Senior, or a photo shoot just because. I’ll also allow you to present either prize as a gift to a loved one, but will require some contract signings to ensure everyone is on the same page. I will also require that I be allowed to use the images on my blog, website, and other presentations representing Samuel Seth Photography.<br />
<strong>One final restriction:</strong> Both the Grand Prize and Second Place prize must be redeemed in the month of December 2011, or January 2012. After January 2012 you will forfeit all the loot. Meaning: The Photo Sessions must be done either in December 2011, or January 2012.<br />
So starting November 1, 2011 and ending November 30, 2011, let’s see who brings in the most “Likes” to my Facebook Fan page! We’re starting with just one like tonight. (Thanks Janet!)<br />
So get to work! We only have 30 days left!<br />
<h1>One more announcement:</h1>That’s not all I wanted to announce though. I’m also planning a teaching workshop for the month of December. The date is still tentative, but it will probably be the first or second Saturday in December. I’m going to be teaching the Basics of Photography. For example, how to work your camera in Manual Mode, how to get the best out of your camera, Knowing that you’re smarter than your camera; What makes a good photograph, and how to execute a good photograph on the fly, and much more. It will probably be around 2-3 hours long and will consist of some classroom time and some hands-on actual shooting experience here at the Studio. It will be limited to 10-slots so that we can keep it small and effective. Professionals need not apply. This is a class on just the basics, but we’ll dip our toes into more advanced methods of shooting. You really don’t even need to have a camera, however you are urged to bring one to get the most out of the class. If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, post a comment below or send me an email with the contact button and I’ll fill you in on more details.<br />
<br />
<div class="pp-img-protect pp-img-protect-aligncenter" style="width: 850px;"> <img alt="Destination Photographer Mexico Photography Samuel Seth" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-501" height="567" src="http://samuelsethphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/MG_0465.jpg" style="opacity: 1;" title="Destination Wedding Photographer Samuel Seth Photography" width="850" /></div>If this workshop goes well, we may plan a more advanced workshop with studio lighting techniques, working with off-camera flash, image processing and more. We’ll have to wait and see.<br />
I hope you spend some time browsing the new website. You may notice if you poke around enough that some of the areas aren’t quite finished yet, such as “about me” and “Rates and Packages”, but they’ll be up very soon. You also may notice if you flip back in posts far enough, that my old tag is on some photos. I’m slowly working through these to update them to the current brand. Feel free to post a comment and let me know how you like the new site!<br />
Whew, that was quite a lot! Sorry for making such a long post, I hope you got a chance to read it all!<br />
I’ll be updating shortly, so get to work on the Facebook Contest and we’ll be in touch soon!<br />

Slick Pix does...<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Just wanted to drop a quick post and mention how cool my clients are. I've received tips and other gratuities from clients in the past who were extremely pleased with the product delivered. But one recently gave me a gift that I think might be the coolest tip yet:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-P6vT8vF/0/X3/i-P6vT8vF-X3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-P6vT8vF/0/X3/i-P6vT8vF-X3.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">That's right. A bottle of 15-year old Single Malt Scotch Whiskey. How cool is that? I shall be enjoying this particular gift in moderation with friends and family, and probably with the client who gave it to me, next time we hang out. I love my clients. Thanks again!<span style="font-size: x-small;"> (You know who you are)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">We have quite a few blog posts lined up for the near future, so stay tuned!</span></span></span><br />

Savannah is actually from Dallas, but has family in the Houston area, so we set up a shoot during her visit here. For the location, we settled on Old Town Spring- a quaint little town a little bit outside of Houston.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We pretty much walked through the place and shot whatever caught our eye.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After we were finished with the shoot we were all hungry so we stopped off at a cafe called Puffabelly's. The food was good, although it was a little warm in there. I think the building is so old there's no central HVAC. But I had a 1/2 pound burger and ate until I was nice and fat. :)</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I hope you enjoy the photos. We had a great time making them.</div><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Being Summer time now, Senior Portrait season is pretty much over. But if you haven't had yours done yet, there's still time. Give me a call or shoot me a message on email or <a href="http://www.facebook.com/slickpixphoto">Facebook</a>. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And it's never too early if you're class of 2012. If you get them done this year you'll have all year to show your awesome photos to your friends and pass out pics and cards to everyone.</span><br />

Well at long last, here it is.<br /><br />Elysia wanted something different, and she loves hanging out at the beach. I love shooting at the beach. Put the two together and the following images is what you get. I had a ton of fun on this shoot, and although Galveston gets a bad rap for it's muddy water and less than fresh air, it is a lot nicer than many make it out to be.<br /><br />We shot these back in March, so the weather was still kind of cool out. With the increased wind on the coast, it was cool enough to need a jacket. But Elysia soldiered on despite the discomfort. After we started the shoot on the beach, we moved inland to get some shots around town.<br /><br />It was kind of interesting, and coincidental that Mardi Gras happened to be going on this particular weekend. We actually rolled into town just as it was over. So by the time we started shooting, the streets were pretty clear. There was a handful of random drunk revelers straggling behind, but there was no crowd, and no traffic since the streets had been blocked off for the parade. Great timing.<br /><br />On the last shot of this set, if you look in the background to the left, you can see a bicycle and a guy in a gray shirt. Moments after this shot was taken, that guy in the gray shirt rode his bicycle over and said with an alcohol-induced slurred accent "eeeyyyyy...yyyouuu wwwwanaa take uh pickshurrrr un mah bike?" After a little more photo-bombing on his part he quietly moved on and we wrapped up the shoot not long after that. I couldn't help but chuckle, however he did make us miss a few great shots due to his intrusion.<br /><br />Hope you like.<br /></span><br /><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-8q5ZqWV/0/X3/i-8q5ZqWV-X3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-8q5ZqWV/0/X3/i-8q5ZqWV-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-xSShRGS/0/X3/i-xSShRGS-X3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 533px; height: 800px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-xSShRGS/0/X3/i-xSShRGS-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-96jvzzj/0/X3/i-96jvzzj-X3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 533px; height: 800px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-96jvzzj/0/X3/i-96jvzzj-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-TKqf9BS/0/X3/i-TKqf9BS-X3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-TKqf9BS/0/X3/i-TKqf9BS-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-fSXbSq3/0/X3/i-fSXbSq3-X3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-fSXbSq3/0/X3/i-fSXbSq3-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-TGkgCds/0/X3/i-TGkgCds-X3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-TGkgCds/0/X3/i-TGkgCds-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-rwvpz93/0/X3/i-rwvpz93-X3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-rwvpz93/0/X3/i-rwvpz93-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-rMJDn5v/0/X3/i-rMJDn5v-X3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-rMJDn5v/0/X3/i-rMJDn5v-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-jL8rjXR/0/X3/i-jL8rjXR-X3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-jL8rjXR/0/X3/i-jL8rjXR-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-cNvTfHq/0/X3/i-cNvTfHq-X3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 533px; height: 800px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-cNvTfHq/0/X3/i-cNvTfHq-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-zJzWpPL/0/X3/i-zJzWpPL-X3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-zJzWpPL/0/X3/i-zJzWpPL-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-BWQ3b2J/0/X3/i-BWQ3b2J-X3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-BWQ3b2J/0/X3/i-BWQ3b2J-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-8kNP2Vb/0/X3/i-8kNP2Vb-X3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-8kNP2Vb/0/X3/i-8kNP2Vb-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">All in all, I had a blast doing this shoot.

I don't know where to begin. I swear when I finished my last blog post of 2010 it was just last week. But alas, five whole months have passed since my last blog post! FIVE MONTHS! That's more than half the gestation period of a human baby!<br /><br />Well the good news is I've been crazy busy with weddings, senior portraits and more. So busy that I haven't had time to sit down and make a blog post! But rest assured, the hiatus I was on left plenty of time to compile some great images that I can pour out in the coming weeks in blog posts. Most of my more recent stuff gets posted on Facebook, so I generally fail to blog about it since Facebook is THE social medium of choice these days.<br /><br />Well I won't bore you too much with such drivel, so I'll post some pics here from a shoot I did for a friend of mine who owns a great Hair Salon in Midtown Houston. Michael Saldaña Salon. He's got a fun group of people on the staff, and they needed to do some profile portraits for the new website and informational media.<br /><br />We set up the mobile studio in the Salon and shot on White Seamless, with multiple lights, a few cocktails, some rockin' music, and a lot of fun.<br /><br />Here's what we got:<br /><br /></span><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-QFnQFbf/0/XL/i-QFnQFbf-XL.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 480px; height: 720px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-QFnQFbf/0/XL/i-QFnQFbf-XL.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-rfPRMN5/0/XL/i-rfPRMN5-XL.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 480px; height: 720px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-rfPRMN5/0/XL/i-rfPRMN5-XL.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-2pnZVz2/0/XL/i-2pnZVz2-XL.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 480px; height: 720px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-2pnZVz2/0/XL/i-2pnZVz2-XL.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-DJ2x4Rs/0/XL/i-DJ2x4Rs-XL.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 512px; height: 768px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-DJ2x4Rs/0/XL/i-DJ2x4Rs-XL.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-MHKPcZq/0/XL/i-MHKPcZq-XL.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 480px; height: 720px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-MHKPcZq/0/XL/i-MHKPcZq-XL.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-MVmkstG/0/XL/i-MVmkstG-XL.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 512px; height: 768px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-MVmkstG/0/XL/i-MVmkstG-XL.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-nWVv2TR/0/XL/i-nWVv2TR-XL.jpg"><br /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-RK6gnjH/0/XL/i-RK6gnjH-XL.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 480px; height: 720px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-RK6gnjH/0/XL/i-RK6gnjH-XL.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-MJNR5GL/0/XL/i-MJNR5GL-XL.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 720px; height: 480px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-MJNR5GL/0/XL/i-MJNR5GL-XL.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-HPXFFwd/0/XL/i-HPXFFwd-XL.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 720px; height: 480px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-HPXFFwd/0/XL/i-HPXFFwd-XL.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-m3HkxSq/0/XL/i-m3HkxSq-XL.jpg"><br /></a><br /><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-XJPn8fp/0/XL/i-XJPn8fp-XL.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 480px; height: 720px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-XJPn8fp/0/XL/i-XJPn8fp-XL.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-HG4KdjL/0/XL/i-HG4KdjL-XL.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 480px; height: 720px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-HG4KdjL/0/XL/i-HG4KdjL-XL.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-xFmS9H9/0/XL/i-xFmS9H9-XL.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/i-xFmS9H9/0/XL/i-xFmS9H9-L.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;">I'm well pleased with the results (I knew they'd come out great though) and the salon crew really likes them. That's the important part. Well hopefully I'll squeeze some time in soon to post a blog about a senior I shot earlier this year in Galveston. It was a great shoot and I look forward to blogging about it.<br /><br />Lates<br /></span>Samuel Sethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09435942125253998299noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1663552213907998575.post-53114562824816134502010-12-31T23:57:00.001-06:002010-12-31T23:58:42.845-06:00End of Another Year...<span style="font-family:arial;">Well 2010 was quite a year. Like always, it flew by before I knew it. Here we are going in to 2011 as I type this, as mortar shells and bottle rockets pop and boom outside my window, it's good to go back and review the year that went by so fast.<br /><br />Here's some of my favorites from this past year. There are many more I wanted to post, but cannot due to contractual restrictions :(<br /><br />I could go on to write a paragraph for every photo, but I will refrain this time. Lets hope 2011 brings many more great images and memories.

We beat a cold front by literally a couple of hours. Soon after they left the Slick Pix Studio, the temperature dropped with a quickness.<br /><br />All in all, we got some great shots, but to be honest, it's not difficult to get great looking shots of such a good looking family!<br />If you're reading this on Facebook, please drop by the <a href="http://slickpix.blogspot.com/">Blog</a> and view the photos in higher resolution- they look much better on the <a href="http://slickpix.blogspot.com/">Blog.</a><br />I hope you enjoy the photos below:<br /><br /></span><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1129144233_YAMui-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 720px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1129144233_YAMui-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1129145085_TMgDU-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 720px; height: 480px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1129145085_TMgDU-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1129144258_Z9JNw-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 720px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1129144258_Z9JNw-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1129144244_EFX75-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 720px; height: 480px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1129144244_EFX75-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1129144269_CUYgL-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 720px; height: 480px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1129144269_CUYgL-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1129144285_CBBEv-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 720px; height: 480px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1129144285_CBBEv-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1129144287_wu675-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 720px; height: 480px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1129144287_wu675-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1129144267_femMu-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 720px; height: 480px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1129144267_femMu-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1129144295_X3Vnw-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 720px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1129144295_X3Vnw-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1129144314_2kovd-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 720px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1129144314_2kovd-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;">Sometimes working with babies can be a challenge. They can be temperamental, cranky, and plain uncooperative. But not baby Javi. He was awesome to work with, had a great attitude didn't cry once! (He <span style="font-style: italic;">almost</span> cried once but that was because we woke him up from a nap. I do the same thing if you interrupt my nap!) But he did really well, especially for being only 4 months old!<br />Hopefully we'll get to work together in the future as Javi gets older.<br /><br />And to the Hernandez Family, Thanks for taking part in the contest guys, I hope you enjoy the photos for many, many more years.<br /><br />Feel free to leave some Blog-Lovin' comments below, it's appreciated!<br /><br />Lates<br /></span>Samuel Sethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09435942125253998299noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1663552213907998575.post-4214351385023986202010-12-02T03:10:00.011-06:002010-12-02T04:05:46.983-06:00Houston Family Portraits - Cutest Kid Contest 1st Runner Up!<span style="font-family:arial;">In the month of October, we ran a <a href="http://slickpix.blogspot.com/2010/09/slick-pixs-cutest-kid-contest-and-free.html">Contest</a> here at Slick Pix for a free portrait session. The first runner up got 1/2 off a standard session fee, as well as 1/2 off all prints. Not a bad deal at all. The way it went was: Each person would submit a photo of their child to our <a href="http://www.facebook.com/SlickPixPhoto">Facebook Fan Page</a>, then people would "Like" the photo they thought should win the title of "Cutest Kid".<br /><br />Well the response we got was overwhelming, and it turned out to be quite a close race all the way down to the end. Everyone had a lot of fun, and I sure had a blast watching from the sidelines. I want to thank each and every one of you who competed and/or voted or participated in that contest. It went really well.<br /><br />Now that you're caught up, the following photos are some of my favorite </span><span style="font-family:arial;">picks from the photo session I did with the Herrera family, the First Runner Up in our Cutest Kid Contest. </span><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1111973510_PcTbJ-XL.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 399px; height: 265px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1111973510_PcTbJ-XL.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;">We did the photo shoot on Thanksgiving day, November 25. It was an unusually warm, humid day in Houston, and the forecast was rain, rain, rain. Well it didn't rain (much) so we actually had a pretty good shoot. The sky was overcast (good) but we still got uncomfortably warm due to the humidity. It's hard to believe that shortly after we finished, the temperature dropped by at least 30°F and the day ended with everyone reaching for their coats and umbrellas. As they say: "Only in Texas".

Now, it's time for Part Two.<br /><br />The Outdoor Ceremony happened at 5:00 P.M., so the sun was setting fast. We had to really bump up those ISO's and shoot wide open. (That's a little photog jargon for shooting in the dark)<br /><br />Everything went off without a hitch, and we got some great images. I have to thank my second shooter, Khanh. He got a ton of killer images, and I had a great time working with him.<br /><br />There were <span style="font-style: italic;">so</span> many awesome shots, I have to stop myself from posting all of them- it would just be an overwhelming number of photos for a blog post.

I'm looking forward to those.</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Until then,</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Lates</span>Samuel Sethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09435942125253998299noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1663552213907998575.post-60151635430912891262010-11-11T20:43:00.013-06:002010-11-11T22:09:31.406-06:00Houston Wedding Photographer - Jen and Jonathan - Part One<span style="font-family:arial;">A couple of weeks ago I posted a <a href="http://slickpix.blogspot.com/2010/10/houston-wedding-photographer-sneak-peek.html">sneak peek</a> of a wedding I covered on October 23, 2010</span>. <span style="font-family:arial;">Jennifer and Jonathan got married on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon at an amazing location: <a href="http://www.weddingsbycolescountry.com/index.htm" target="”_blank”">Cole's Country</a> in Cypress, TX.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Cole's Country is kind of a unique place</span><span style="font-family:arial;">, as it's a large-ish ranch type place, but they have everything you need for a beautiful wedding. They even have a few Texas Longhorns (The Bovine variety, not the Scholastic type) grazing in the field. You can see these things in pictures, but it's not until you see one in person that you realize how vast their horns really are. They don't call them Texas Longhorns for nothing.</span><br /><br /><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1087232543_huCb4-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1087232543_huCb4-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1087233457_eCdmr-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1087233457_eCdmr-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1087233395_jbYko-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1087233395_jbYko-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />I'm posting this wedding in two parts. I seem to be doing that a lot lately. I guess there are so many photos that I really like, I can't choose which ones to cut out. I know Jen and Jonathan are excited to see them, and guys, this is really just a small portion of the great shots we got. Jen also likes Black and White photos, and Vintage styled photos, so quite a few of these are in that form. But several have such bright and vibrant colors, I just had to leave them as-is.</span><br /><br /><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1087232484_K4w9F-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1087232484_K4w9F-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1087360690_DaSjE-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1087360690_DaSjE-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1087232455_rKswS-X3.jpg"><br /></a><span style="font-family:arial;">Jen and Jonathan opted to have a 'First Look' session before the wedding. I LOVE when couples do this and take the time to see each other, calm down and soak in the gravity of the day before it flies by in a bl<span style="font-family:arial;">ur.</span></span><span style="font-family:arial;"> You can read more about what's involved in a First Look session </span><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://slickpix.blogspot.com/2009/12/revital-david-part-1.html" target="”_blank”">HERE</a><span style="font-family:arial;"> in an earlier Blog post.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">The way Jen wanted to do it was to have a couple of shots of them holding hands on opposite sides of the tree, then turn around to see each other for the first time on their wedding day. And this is what happened...</span> <a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1087232416_KsDrJ-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px;

So I think it's pretty awesome to be able to have shot the wedding of an NFL Athlete.</span> <span style="font-family:arial;">Needless to say their wedding was amazing. The venue was the beautiful <a href="http://www.thetuscanyvilla.com/villa/index.asp">Tuscany Villa</a> in Katy, TX.

They're doing great and are loving married life. If you've been following the Blog, I've been quite busy lately with a <a href="http://slickpix.blogspot.com/2010/09/slick-pixs-cutest-kid-contest-and-free.html">contest</a> going on right now (via Facebook) and October seems to be a popular month to get married. We certainly have been enjoying phenomenal weather here in Houston lately.<br /><br />But it's been a little bit since I posted a wedding so I'm going to post some of the highlights from Mayra and Anibal's recent wedding. Notice I said <span style="font-style: italic;">some</span> of the highlights. But because there are so many, I'm breaking this up into two posts. I'm not going to describe every photo like I normally do, but I will add a caption here and there.<br /><br />Enjoy, Part 1...<br /><br /></span><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1038567728_zgfDH-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block;

But I hope it causes a stir just as large :)<br /><br />October's Contest: <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">The Cutest Kid</span><br /><br /></span><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1025564830_96w6i-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1025564830_96w6i-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />This contest is based off of the largest networking site ever, Facebook. As you can see on my Blog, if you look to the right, there's a Facebook Fan Page window. Clicking it will take you to my Facebook Fan Page, an information page about Slick Pix Photography along with the latest posts, specials, and of course, this contest.<br /><br />The way it's going to work is this: You're going to "Like" my Facebook page. (Liking used to be called 'Becoming a Fan' but they changed it to "like" recently) After you do that, (if you haven't already) you'll be eligible to enter your kid or kids (12 and under please) by posting a picture of them on the Slick Pix wall. They'll go into a gallery where they'll be voted on by the fans. Voters will need to "Like" the Slick Pix Fan Page for their vote to count.<br /><br />In Facebook you're able to "Like" a photo. <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">The kid with the most "Likes" will win a free photo shoot</span>, along with two free 8x10 prints, enhancements and adjustments on select photos, and a free personal online gallery for sharing with friends and family, and for print ordering.<br /><br /></span><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1025567887_9QjdE-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1025567887_9QjdE-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><span><span style="font-weight: bold;">The first runner up</span> will receive 1/2 off a session fee, One free 8x10 Print and One free 5x7 print, and 1/2 off all other prints!</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><span>You'll also get the same great enhancements and adjustments on select photos, as well as a free online gallery for sharing and print ordering.<br /></span><br /></span><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1025576496_yoiwV-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1025576496_yoiwV-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />Third runner up gets a $50 gift certificate to use toward a photo session, one free 8x10, as well as enhancements and adjustments on select photos, and a FREE Online Gallery for sharing and print ordering.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Only one photo per kid, please.</span> Also, since I'm based in Houston, I'd like to keep it in the Houston area. But if you're from out of town and don't mind driving to Houston for the photo shoot, it's all good!<br /><br />Feel free to tell your friends and family to come vote for your kid. Again, the one with the most "Likes" will win. So it's not up to me, it's all up to the fans! :)</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />I'll be posting periodic reminders on Facebook to get your pics and votes in. The contest will last From the time you read this, until 11:59 P.M, October 31, 2010, and a winner will be announced soon after that. So break out those kid photos and get 'em in early to get those votes started. For a full list of rules and restrictions you can email me or message me on Facebook.<br /><br />For all those without kids, don't worry, I'm working on a random drawing featuring a giveaway for you guys in the near future.<br /><br />I look forward to seeing the competition!<br /><br />Lates<br /></span>Samuel Sethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09435942125253998299noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1663552213907998575.post-64311435109474794122010-09-19T01:36:00.005-05:002010-09-19T01:48:57.533-05:00Slick Brides - Myra's Bridal<span style="font-family:arial;">Well it's been exactly two weeks since Mayra and Anibal were married (see the previous post for a sneak peek of their wedding). That being the case, it is now officially safe to post the Bridal shoot we did with Mayra.<br /><br />She wanted a country type setting, so we did the shoot right here at the studio- outside, of course. The summer time greenery was in full swing, and so was the summer time heat! I was soaking wet at the end of this shoot and had to carry a towel with me so the camera wouldn't slip out of my hand. I don't know how Mayra kept her composure during the inferno, especially sporting a multi-layered wedding dress and cowboy (er, cow<span style="font-style: italic;">girl</span>) boots at that.<br /><br />But as expected, she looked gorgeous in her gleaming white dress, summer heat and all. Because it was so hot, we only shot for about 45 minutes, however we got several different looks and settings, so it was a success.<br /><br />If you're viewing this from Facebook, head on over to the <a href="http://slickpix.blogspot.com/2010/09/slick-brides-myras-bridal.html">Blog</a> to see the bride in all her high-res splendor.<br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></span><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1002278154_EPzgQ-X3-1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 533px; height: 800px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1002278154_EPzgQ-X3-1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1002278176_4Zhh2-X3-1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1002278176_4Zhh2-X3-1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1002278217_bdJD8-X3.jpg"><br /></a><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1002278217_bdJD8-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1002278217_bdJD8-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1002278160_GWW2z-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 533px; height: 800px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1002278160_GWW2z-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1002278196_MenCb-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1002278196_MenCb-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1002278207_gndNy-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 533px; height: 800px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1002278207_gndNy-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1002278169_5XqPo-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 533px; height: 800px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1002278169_5XqPo-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1002278193_FwxRQ-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1002278193_FwxRQ-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1002278198_4xTR4-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1002278198_4xTR4-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1002278212_9PczL-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 533px; height: 800px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/1002278212_9PczL-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">We had such a great time shooting this bridal, and I think the above image is my favorite.

You've spent quite a bit on that custom-tailored dress which fits you like a glass slipper made only for you. You'll only wear it for one day, so it's a good idea to 'immortalize' it in a formal photo shoot. You'll be glad you did :)<br /><br />I've got some big stuff in store for Slick Pix Photography in the next few weeks. We're going to be doing a contest for a give-away, but that's all I can say for now. If you haven't "Liked" the Facebook page yet I suggest you do, since that's what the contest is going to be based out of. It's going to be HUGE! So stay tuned.<br /><br />Lates<br /></span>Samuel Sethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09435942125253998299noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1663552213907998575.post-47808123182410867502010-09-05T02:41:00.003-05:002010-09-05T02:54:14.713-05:00Mayra & Anibal - *Sneak Peek*<span style="font-family:arial;">Well I just got back from Bryan, Texas, where I shot the wedding of two very close friends, Anibal and Mayra.<br />All I can post at the moment is a sneak peek, because it's 2:52 A.M. and I've been on my feet since 7 .A.M. after only 4 hours of sleep last night. Saying I'm tired is a small understatement. Just a smidge.<br />It was such a fun day and a really beautiful wedding. It flew by just like I knew it would. So here's one shot I liked from the night. Many do not approve of the lens flare effect, (J.J. Abrams certainly is not in that crowd- just watch 5 minutes of Star Trek) but I think it can be used in good taste as long as it's not over done.<br />I feel this shot has a touch of intriguing mystery to it because the flare hides the faces a bit, so it leaves the rest of the wedding to the imagination but gives a hint of great things to come. Stay tuned, I hope to post more within the coming week, but it might be longer. We'll see. There's a fluffy pillow and a warm bed with my name on it.<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/995077082_qgyyW-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/995077082_qgyyW-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />Lates<br /></span>Samuel Sethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09435942125253998299noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1663552213907998575.post-89013283410961315382010-09-04T00:58:00.003-05:002010-09-04T01:29:51.723-05:00Houston Wedding Photographer - Mayra and Anibal: Engagements<span style="font-family:arial;">Anibal is an old buddy of mine, and we've been through a lot together. A couple of years ago he told me he met a girl, and that she's really great. We hung out as a group many times, so I can honestly agree that yeah, Mayra is indeed a great girl. But you never really think of "Hey, these two might get married one day..." Well fast forward to present day, and guess who's getting married? Yep.<br /><br />So imagine how excited, how honored I felt, to be chosen to photograph their wedding day. I suggested they look at several other photographers to cover their big day, and they did, but they said they definitely wanted me to cover it. I think they mentioned that it would make it more special if I covered it. I have to agree. As the photographer of the union of a man and woman in the Divinely instituted marriage arrangement, I get to record the nuances of each emotion during that special day. I also become <span style="font-style: italic;">part<span style="font-style: italic;"> </span></span>of that wedding. A <span style="font-style: italic;">major</span> part in fact. The photographs that I record will be seen by friends, family and others for years, <span style="font-style: italic;">decades</span> to come. And to become such an integral part of the wedding of some of my closest friends is something that I truly cherish.<br /><br />Well, tomorrow is it. Actually, since it's 1:20 right now, it's later on today. In fact, around 12 hours from now, it will be happening. So I offer my utmost congratulations to Anibal and Mayra, and wish you both an eternally successful friendship to each other.<br /><br />I had the privilege of shooting their engagement portraits too, and we had a great time. We went to The Woodlands Waterway area, did some shots, had dinner at The Goose's Acre, then did a few more shots with the fountain and colorful lights.<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/993834301_Pupos-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 533px; height: 800px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/993834301_Pupos-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/993834441_9qq5G-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/993834441_9qq5G-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/993834346_spmn7-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/993834346_spmn7-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/993834309_es86d-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/993834309_es86d-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/993834338_MpqgY-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/993834338_MpqgY-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/993834326_PbcKC-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/993834326_PbcKC-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/993834380_uXmAQ-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 533px; height: 800px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/993834380_uXmAQ-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/993834399_vBf4r-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/993834399_vBf4r-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/993834389_honCg-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/993834389_honCg-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/993834382_xdsy7-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/993834382_xdsy7-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/993834378_4faHK-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/993834378_4faHK-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />Well guys, I'll see you two in a few hours.

Needless to say, those threats were fairly empty. It's kind of like shaking your fist at Mike Tyson. But I've been working out (so to speak) and I'm ready to lay a hay-maker on this blog, starting with a wedding I shot back in February.<br /><br />As mentioned on my <a href="http://www.slickpix.net/">Website's</a> Info page, I occasionally work with several other photographers in the Houston area. At this wedding, I was second shooting for Janet of Rainy Day Photos. She's great to work with and we actually work together more than I work with any other photographer. And I'd like to say thanks to her for allowing me to assist with so many great couples!<br />If You're viewing this on Facebook, please visit the <a href="http://slickpix.blogspot.com/">Blog</a> to see bigger, better photos.<br /><br />We start with some shots of Maritelle getting dolled up for her big day<br /><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/Other/Save-for-Web-Photos/Tre-and-Maritelles-Wedding/13199237_JtPsU#958106576_vR2SU-A-LB"><img src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/958106576_vR2SU-L.jpg"></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">She was all smiles as the hair and makeup crew did their thing<br /><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/Other/Save-for-Web-Photos/Tre-and-Maritelles-Wedding/13199237_JtPsU#958106610_Qy98B-A-LB"><img src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/958106610_Qy98B-L.jpg" /></a><br /><br />On with the dress...<br /><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/Other/Save-for-Web-Photos/Tre-and-Maritelles-Wedding/13199237_JtPsU#958106622_qesXy-A-LB"><img src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/958106622_qesXy-L.jpg" /></a><br /><br />And the garter...<br /><a href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/Other/Save-for-Web-Photos/Tre-and-Maritelles-Wedding/13199237_JtPsU#958106629_qpyHs-A-LB"><img src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/958106629_qpyHs-L.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Her suite had some amazing window light coming in and we made full use of it.

The upstairs to that place is HUGE! This was by far one of the biggest, funnest and lively wedding's I'd been to. Well here's a belated 'Congratulations' to Maritelle and Tre. I had such a blast.<br /><br />Stay tuned for some more posts. If your eye is keen, you may have noticed a new "share" button at the bottom of the posts.

Last time<span style="font-family: arial;"> I posted another Senior session, and this time I'm posting one more High School Senior for the class of 2010. I swear I'll get around to posting some weddings from earlier this year.<br /><br />I've known Lanneah for years, probably since she was about 10 or younger- another friend of the family. I'm glad I was able to shoot her Senior Portraits. She's got a great photogenic look and is really comfortable in front of the camera. I was having such a great time working with her I was a little sad when she had to leave. Hopefully we'll get together again and do a shoot just for kicks. Maybe when it gets a bit cooler outside.<br /><br />I hope Lanneah and her family and friends like the photos, because I sure do. There were so many keepers from this shoot it was difficult deciding which ones to keep in the final gallery.<br />As usual, if you're viewing this on Facebook, please visit the <a href="http://slickpix.blogspot.com">Blog</a> for the better quality photos.<br /><br />We'll start off with a classic cap and gown shot in front of the bookcase, then move on to some more natural and casual settings. Let me know what you think!<br /></span></span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:15.8333px;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/927220590_gfCh2-X3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 528px;" src="http://slickpix.smugmug.com/photos/927220590_gfCh2-X3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />She had a gorgeous gown that I feel would look amazing downtown or in a ritzy hotel.

It's a good idea to get your portraits done this summer if you're class of 2011 so that you can have pics to show off and pass out to all your friends.
