Who has the coolest clients? Slick Pix does...

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:

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! (You know who you are)

We have quite a few blog posts lined up for the near future, so stay tuned!

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 Wedding Photographer - Jen and Jonathan - Part One

A couple of weeks ago I posted a sneak peek of a wedding I covered on October 23, 2010. Jennifer and Jonathan got married on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon at an amazing location: Cole's Country in Cypress, TX.

Cole's Country is kind of a unique place, 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.


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.


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 blur. You can read more about what's involved in a First Look session HERE in an earlier Blog post.

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... The Bridesmaids were great and liked the "Batter up" idea :)
They were a hoot!
The guys were just "Cool Hand Luke" all the way.
Spending some time together before the ceremony
I hope you enjoyed part one! Look out for part two soon.

Houston Wedding Photographer - Jackie and Christine

This weddding is from earlier in the year, back in March, actually. As mentioned before, I often work with other photographers in the Houston area, and for this wedding, I was once again working with the wonderful Janet, of Rainy Day Photos :)
I have to also comment on how privileged I feel to be able to shoot the wedding of someone with such status as Jackie and Christine. Jackie attended The University of Houston and played on their Football team back in college. Well after that he got drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs. So I think it's pretty awesome to be able to have shot the wedding of an NFL Athlete. Needless to say their wedding was amazing. The venue was the beautiful Tuscany Villa in Katy, TX. Below are some of the highlights from the day.































I had a blast at this wedding, and the cake was some of the most amazing cake I've ever tasted. Like eating a piece of a rainbow. A piece of double rainbow, all the way.
Congratulations Jackie and Christine, I hope you guys are doing well in Kansas City. At the time of this writing, the Team is certainly doing well in the season, with a 5-2 record. Thanks for letting me be a part of your special day.
