The last time I photographed 4 sisters, I ended up marrying one of them.

This is a photo I took about 10 years ago, and Danielle is the one on the far right.

When Kristin & I started chatting about shooting her and her sisters, I got all excited.  This session was a blast, so let’s jump right to the images.

I LOVE this shot of them in the field.

Guess who showed up while we were out there?

That’s right ladies and gentlemen.  A little bit of Zac Effron never hurt a photograph.  He must have heard these beautiful single ladies were in town and came by for a visit.

I still had The Mug Machine in my car from Heather & Blake’s wedding, and I figured it was just what these girls needed. So we drove over to the church where their mom works and set it up for a few shots.

At this point Zac became a bit of a stalker.  He must have somehow followed us back because he showed up out of nowhere and insisted on getting in on a few more shots.

Once their mom came out, Zac split.  (I think he was intimidated.)

Seriously, how gorgeous are all 5 of these ladies?!

Thanks for a great session!

Thursday is “Move That Bus” day.  If there is any way possible, you should to head out to Mineola, TX for the big reveal.  Everyone will be parking at the Wal-Mart in Mineola and get shuttled from there.  You will want to get there by 10:00AM-ish if you hope to get on TV.  The actual reveal will be around NOON and you won’t want to miss it.  Visit KLTV for more info.

See you there.

Has anyone heard anything about Extreme Makeover Home Edition coming to Mineola??? I’m kidding.  It’s probably ALL you have heard about for the past few days, so you may already be sick of the whole thing.  But, for those of you who are interested in more, I have had an inside look at this whole thing for a little while now.

I was contacted a few weeks ago about doing some behind the scenes shooting for when EMHE would be filmed.  I jumped at the chance and could not wait to get started.  This also led to me being able to photograph the Carr family before they went on vacation.  The show likes to do some family portraits so they have tons of images to fill up the new house.  (That is a crazy blog post with a story all of it’s own that I’ll tell you about later.)

It has been a blast being “on set” the past few days and here are just a few of the shots I’ve captured.

Anyway, if you want to find out more and learn about this amazing little family, you should go to the Bayless Construction website.  They are the builders heading up the project.  You can also view a live feed of the construction here.

Oh…. I guess the main reason you stuck with the post was because you were hoping to see a photo of Ty right?  Here is a shot of him right after they showed up and told the Carr’s they were getting a new house.

Somehow I have turned into a photographer who shoots other photographers. Last week I did a wedding photographer’s engagement session. In a couple of weeks I’m shooting another wedding photographer’s family session, and today brings us Tammy Williams of Clarity Photography.

Tammy is an incredible children’s photographer. I have known her for a little over a year and always love to take a look at her blog and see what she is up to. She’s just opened a studio in downtown Tyler and is currently re-doing her website so it was time for a few updated family shots. Even though she is surrounded by men she still manages to rock her inner-diva every now and then. Seriously, if you need photos taken of your small people, she is the one to go to.

Anytime you start a session with people upside-down it’s a good thing.

Her boys working their magic with the camera.

Like I said, every now and then Rock Star Diva Photographer Tammy shows up.

I can’t get enough of this shot.


Thanks for a great session guys.

So about a week ago my buddy Casey Brown his wife Andrea had their first kid. You may recognize Casey’s name, he is the owner of both CMB DJs and Tyler Uplights. Two vendors that HAVE to be at your wedding! Anyway, since Danielle and I are done with our baby birthing days, I thought it would be fun to head over to their place and take a few photos of little Brooks.

But, before we go too far let me make one little announcement:
I am not a newborn or children’s photographer. I have no idea what to do with little people, how to pose them, or where to put them. I do not enjoy the looming possibility of getting pee-ed on during a photo shoot. If you are looking for photos of your little person you should contact my friend Tammy Williams of Clarity Photography. She gave me all the tips and told me what to do. All this little session did was make me more thankful for my grown up people that I get to work with every week. :)







I wonder what song he was listening too. :)
