When it's too cold for an outside shoot...

Work with what resources you have! This is exactly what me and my friend, Lucy, did this past week. Lucy wanted to have a shoot done for her Mum for Christmas and get a print. Lucy had a gorgeous dress picked out, and we were going to go downtown for some outside shots. However, in 30 degree weather, this did not seem like a good idea to me or Lucy! So we ended up doing the shoot just outside my house and they came out great! I told Lucy she can never say that she is not photogenic ever again! As these pictures show, Lucy is VERY MUCH photogenic!

Brother and Sister..

This past weekend i took pictures of 2 siblings Lauren and Kyle at the arboretum! The weather was perfect, with a little wind, as shown in some of Lauren's pictures! But we got the cheesy hair blowing effect without a fan! :) Back to the point, the pictures turned out great and they are ones i will definitely be using in my portfolio!

A Winters Wedding...

This past weekend Jessie and Nolan were wed at the beautiful Chapel Dulcinea. The weather was perfect, as was the wedding and i came away with some great shots! Jessie and Nolan, congratulations! You make a wonderful couple. With hundreds to sort through and edit i managed to grab a few of my favorites to share on my blog! So here they are :)

The long awaited...

Bridal pictures from the Capital can now be released! As this morning i head off to capture the exciting wedding of Jessie and Nolan!
Will post soon i'm sure with some shots from the wedding - i'm so excited to be shooting my first wedding and think it's going to be great fun! Jessie and Nolan, congratulations! :)

I took a trip to another world...

Or at least that's what it felt like when i went to take pictures of my friend, Joana, at St. Edward's University!
How often do you hear this sentence when getting directions - "drive by the main building that looks like a castle"
And she was right folks, it was a giant castle. I was in awe of this place!

Anyway, Joana is SO photogenic and she needed some head shots but i took some others too and they turned out great! :)

3 sisters...

Were my latest photo shoot! They were taken for their Mum's birthday - the girls were great fun and the gorgeous autumn weather was perfect scenery!!

Baby it's cold outside...

The time has come again for the annual putting up of the Christmas tree in the Watson house!
We have set roles and they are not to be changed..
Mum - militant marge barking orders to make sure the Christmas tree looks as if it popped out of a home living magazine!
Han - starts off with dancing, laughing, picture snapping... ends up home.
Jess - doesn't understand this decorating stuff so just takes pictures
Dad - watching football in the other room
Wesley - look at us all like we're crazy and get trapped amongst the pile of boxes

Here are a few snaps from the eve!

A true dog lover...

Is my friend, Andrea, from my fundamentals of photography class. Through the frustration that i find in that class, i always leave feeling rewarded in the different ways we cope with our frustration. "we" being me, andrea, and daniel.
Whether it be laughing, eating many nutrition bars, sarcasm to the upmost, or sleeping - it's always something new!

Back to the point... Andrea has 2 of the most beautiful dogs i have ever seen and she was quite sad to miss out on the pet photography assignment we did in class so she asked me to go take some pictures of her and her dogs (her husband fits in that equation somewhere :P) The pictures turned out great and i thought i would share some :)

Congratulations Alyca!

Alyca is counting down her final days at Baylor University as she is ready to graduate in December! We had so much fun at her photo shoot yesterday! She had some locations picked out and so we went to all of those and the pictures turned out just great :) Alyca's Sister, Allyson, came along for some laughs too and jumped in a few of the pictures (no pun intended..) The weather was perfect, as was our timing - here's a few to share...
