THANK YOU to all who had me do some sessions over the last few days while I was in Austin. It was tons of fun getting to do them - and especially around such a cool town like Austin. People have asked me, "why don't you move to Austin???" As much as I love Austin, I still have more love for my homestate - Louisiana. Austin is my "escape" when I need to head out somewhere that's still "closeby" and with so many friends moving there from allover the states - there's only MORE reason to go visit!!!!

Check out these shots from my sessions AND the last three are just random shots I took around the Taco Xpress restaurant on South Lamar.

Here's some of the Taco Xpress shots....

Austin, thanks for a great time and I look forward to my next visit already!!!!

Hello I am a friend of Carletta from St. Petersburg, FL. She invited me to look at the picture that you took of her and Seth. Well that just peaked my interested so I began looking at the others that are on the site. The only thing I can say is WOW! You have such an amazing talent (which I am sure you are told often) but not only that it seems that each one shows the love of life you seem to have. I am truely in awe of the talent that God has given you! and Yes you are one lucky man to be able to have a job that you LOVE!! I can't wait to see all of the picts of Carletta and Seth!

Jaimie & Sabrina - Austin, TX

08.08.09

Location : Villa Antonio

Jaimie and Sabrina Valencia are hitched as of this past Thursday! I had a great time photographing their wedding at the Villa Antonio grounds about an hour outside of Austin. They're such an attractive couple and have been together for about seven years - so it was nice see them get hitched.

Congrats to the two of them!

Here's a preview of their wedding photos to come.

CONNER

08.04.09

Kim brought over her six year old dude, Conner, for a session at Maison Looziana and we had a ball. He is FULL of energy and his personality just shines. He reminded me of myself as a child, even doing the "McDonald's Drive Thru" act via the window in the old shack behind our home. I used to do the exact same thing with the window under my parents drive in carport growing up! SO MUCH FUN.

Thank you Kim! I got tons of great stuff of Conner, but here's a preview for you/y'all to check out!

LOLA

08.04.09

It's impossible not to just stare at Lola! It's rude so thank god for photos - now you can stare at her in these photos and not creep her out. Haha! She is a bundle of personality! I think she looks so different when she's smiling, not smiling, and pissed off. It's so much fun photographing her!

Thank you Christian and Lauren for having me do your daughter's photos all the time to document her life. She is not a baby anymore! Where did the time go?

Ellie Grace from New Orleans!

08.04.09

Ellie Grace is the gorgeous firstborn daughter of Chris & Mary Clement from New Orleans. If those names sound familiar, it's because I'm always raving on and on about how they've expanded my client base out in New Orleans! Weddings, family shoots, and whatnot - THANK YOU - y'all!

Isn't this chick gorgeous already? She is going to make people swoon all her life.

I love this one. I know I sound so morbid always loving photos of babies crying, and kids just running amok pissed off that their photo sessions have LASTED WAY TO LONG - but isn't that what we're supposed to enjoy - all their moods? ;-)
