More from the "Sweet 16!"

I know I posted the awesome video of the party but here's some of the photographic shots, too. Would they not make THE cutest girl country band EVER???!!!

Sweetest Sweet 16 Party Ever!

A few weeks ago, I had the real pleasure of photographing Britley's "Sweet 16" birthday party out at Mandola's Winery. The girls looked so amazingly cute in their flowery sundresses and their Texas cowgirl boots that as a photographer I was in complete heaven! I really don't know what could be any cuter than this. This shoot got me thinking about my "Sweet 16" party that I had and how different things are now. What did you do for your 16th birthday? You've got to watch the video and see the girls in their full modeling mode. They were alot of fun to work with!

The Artist Within

I photographed this cute family before I left on vacation and just didn't have time before I left to work on the photos so I've been anxiously awaiting to see the awesomeness. When they filled out their information form, "M" had marked that they liked to paint and come to find out they are really a family of artists. The dad is an elementary art teacher and their oldest daughter is about to go to a special art school in south Texas so I knew we just had to paint! I honestly can't believe what a great work of art that they whipped out in a mere 15 minutes with 4 people painting on one canvas. They were all plugging away painting, looking out at the landscape to get inspiration...the whole thing was so cool! This was so fun for me since it's something completely different and I had never photographed before...enjoy!

Party of Six Video

Here's the awesome video that I made for the shoot a few weeks ago...love it!

Puddles & A Path

I photographed this family a few years ago and am always amazed at how much the children grow from one shoot to the next! Wow! We met in their neighborhood for convenience and I had gone earlier in the week and scouted out a new location near their home. I just loved it! I found an old bridge with access to the water and it's kind of hidden. I thought I had found a real treasure no one knew about until I went back for my Saturday morning shoot and there were about 10 cars and several kayakers putting their boats in the water. Normally, we're not used to having very much water in our creek beds but this creek is up and running! There were actually mini rapids and they all looked so excited. All you need for a great shoot is a path, some puddles, kiddos and some rocks!
