Houston Senior Portraits - Savannah

Finally getting around to blogging this Senior Portrait session I did back in March. 

Savannah liked what she saw in Elysia's Galveston Senior Portraits, so we searched for something similar but closer to Houston. 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.

We pretty much walked through the place and shot whatever caught our eye.

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. :)

I hope you enjoy the photos. We had a great time making them.

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 Facebook. 

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.
As always we're looking for Senior Reps for Class of 2012 an 2013. There's lots in store for the select few we choose. So if you think you're up for it, let us know and we'll discuss it.

Houston Senior Portraits - Elysia

In my last post I mentioned that I would be getting around to blogging about a Class of 2011 Senior Portrait shoot I did in Galveston, TX. Well at long last, here it is.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hope you like.


All in all, I had a blast doing this shoot. If you're a High School Senior and have a favorite place to go, lets talk about it and we'll make it happen.

Until next check in,

Slick Seniors - Lanneah: Class of 2010

Ok I really have to start posting more often. Last time 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.

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.

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.
As usual, if you're viewing this on Facebook, please visit the Blog for the better quality photos.

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!

She had a gorgeous gown that I feel would look amazing downtown or in a ritzy hotel. It still looks awesome in the country though.

Again y'all, I'm still accepting bookings for Senior Portraits for Class of 2010-2011. 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. Feel free to shoot me an email or a comment here.

Slick Seniors - Michael's Senior Portraits

A somewhat old friend of the family allowed me the privilege to photograph their graduating Senior for the class of '10, Michael. Our families go back quite some years, and I remember Michael when he was just about 9 or 10 years old. He's grown up to be a nice young man. He's a hard worker, loves his family, is very smart and well read. Ok, I'll stop now- it sounds like I'm auctioning off a date with him to a crowd of ladies...

Nevertheless, we had a lot of fun with the shoot. We just kind of hung out, cracked jokes and talked about life, like a couple of old friends. His mom dropped him off at the studio and then picked up my mom, and they went out shopping and such, so it afforded us plenty of time to take it easy and makes some great images.

So here's some of the shots we got that day. I hope the family enjoys them, I sure think they turned out well. If you're viewing this on Facebook, please go to my Blog to see what the photos are supposed to look like. Facebook always messes with image quality.

Thanks again guys, and we'll be seeing you around!

Class of 2010 and 2011 Seniors, now's a great time to book your session. If you don't want 'cookie-cutter' boring portraits for your senior year, come see us at Slick Pix Photography. We'll have a great time and you'll love your unique images!
