For the past several months, my Saturdays have been spent coaching my 7 year old’s football team.  It was a long, grueling season, with two practices and a game every week.  The climax was this weekend when we played in the Division 2 Super Bowl at Kimbrough Stadium in Murphy, Tx.  Unfortunately, the mighty Cowboys lost the game 7 to 6! The one positive...

Sometimes, the best images are a result of just playing around. This week, I was creating a headshot for a Gusi’s theater audition.  We ended up with a very moody, mysterious portrait – which I was thrilled with!  (I hope Gusi likes it too) During the course of the session, I decided to try a few shots with my infrared camera.  This is the camera...

Too many times, we get obsessed with trying to get the “perfect” portrait of our kids.   We drive ourselves crazy trying to get the kids sitting up straight, looking at the camera, smiling (but not smiling TOO much), hair perfect…. in other words, the exact opposite of how they are in real life.

I just got back from New York and finally have time to catch up on the blog! We took the boys to see Grease on Broadway.  It was an incredible experience.  We had watched the Grease tryouts on TV, so the boys were anxious to see them in person.  We stayed afterwards and got programs signed by the two leads – which was pretty cool. What was really...
