Welcome Get Shot By Tate!
Since you MUST know about me...... I'll talk about what kind of photographer I am. I'm the kid who hated traditional crap. I hated the concept of doing wedding photography. I wanted to do high fashion and naked people - and that WAS IT. Fast Forward to ten + years later....... I'm doing weddings, naked people (but it's always tasteful..... or at least I think it is) and I do SOME traditional stuff. I like to think my traditional stuff is twisted. Ok, it's not traditional. Call it what you want to call it, but I don't like the WORD - traditional. My wife does. She's twisted traditional. My work is my work. I don't like rules. It's hard for me to play by the rules when I'm doing photography. I think that's what keeps it so fun for me. I tell the parents of my senior shoots that I dislike cap and gown shots (was I supposed to do that?) but I still do them because I know they love those. ;-) I think you get the drift of what kind of photographer I am. I may think I'm way more radical than I am, but let me think I'm just ubercool and not traditional. Okay?

Heather & Keith & BABY
07.15.10
I'm excited for Heather & Keith who will be welcoming their first baby into their world in only a few more weeks! 

They're such a sweet couple and throughout the entire session, they were nothing but tons and tons of fun. Every time I wanted Keith to make Heather laugh, he made sure she DID. Every single time. I asked "What are you saying that gets her laughing every single time?" 

They told me.

I laughed, and everytime I wanted THEM to laugh - I told them what he was telling her.

It's kinda not proper to mention on this blog, but if you come up to me and ask in person - you'll laugh too. Haha!!

Here are some of my favorites from their session! Thanks to the two of you for having me shoot such special photos for y'all.

Austin, I must say - Thank You!
05.12.10
I finally completed my Austin gigs! Miquel and I drove 8 hours out there to do Brooke's bridal portraits and figured we'd make a fun weekend out of it, as well as do some other gigs! Thank you to everyone who had me do a session - Austin is quickly becoming one of my most favorite cities to visit. #1 - so many close friends moved there/are moving there #2 huh? The city is ridiculously rad. #3 Hello? It's full of weirdos like myself! #4 Uncommon Objects has a home on South Congress - and I am serious when I say, I don't mind having my funeral held there. 

Here are some of my favorites from each session I did while in Austin! FYI - If your CD hasn't arrived yet, it went out today... and the rest go out tomorrow morning!

Of course I can't show any of the photos of Brooke in her wedding dress! :-) Gotta wait till after her Vegas wedding! Thank you to Miquel for doing the wonderful hair, and Kristen for assisting Brooke with the dress movement. LOL.

The Tureaus

I had the honor of photographing the Tureau family at the end of September. Caress is one of my oldest friends I grew up with and it's amazing for me to see her married, and as a mother now! Time just flies way too fast. Since this session - she gave birth to her and Nick's second son, Cruz. Caymen is one proud big brother!

Thanks to y'all for having me do a session!

Candice & Josh DONE!
08.17.09
I finally finished Candice and Josh's maternity set! They were in town at the end of June for a friendly visit around town, and snuck into my house for a session!

WE got some amazing stuff and I'm so satisfied with this set of photos.

Thanks y'all and have a great time with the new kid when he/she arrives (I forgot what you said the baby was but I want to say you said a girl?).

Check these out!
