So, after a hardware crash on my computer, I have been working really hard to get caught back up on both editing and blogging. I had a bunch of photos edited, and lost all of the work. The files were backed up, I just have to re-edit everything. Needless to say, I’m super behind on my blogging, so here is a quick one for you. We shot Tammy’s bridals in downtown McKinney and The Grand Hotel a few months back. Here were some of my faves.
Tammy’s Bridals

Dabbling in Video…
One thing that has always intrigued me just as much as photography is videography. The main reason being that the perfect combination of video footage and music can stir up a ton of emotion. Music in a video, is like good lighting in a photograph. It completely affects the way you feel when looking at it. I have a HUGE passion for music too, so having the ability to take what I love (photos), make them move and then add music has always seemed so awesome to me. (You can only imagine my fascination with music videos, haha) Since I started shooting photos professionally, I find my self not being able to pay attention during a movie or TV show because I am constantly thinking about camera angles, focusing, camera settings, how the scene is lit, color correction, camera stabilization, etc. So I bought a decent DSLR that will shoot HD video, got some awesome video editing software, a slider, monopod, and other stuff and decided to give it a run. I’ve been slowly studying and learning different techniques in my free time, and I am really having fun with it.
This is one of my first attempts at shooting with my new stuff. Hopefully I can continue to learn and grow in this area.
The song is Steerage and the Lamp by Balmorhea.
- I use a combination of a Konova Slider, Manfrotto BHDV561 Monopod and 701 Fluid head.December 13, 2011 - 9:21 am
- This is beautiful! Also, I LOVE Balmorhea. :)December 5, 2011 - 7:27 pm
- Nice! Do you have a pocket dolly or do you do all your shots with your Steadycam?November 22, 2011 - 1:58 pm
- Awesome...Wish you are doing videography too so I can refer you to my friends. Your video above already shows professionalism in videography!November 16, 2011 - 10:46 am
- Amazing footage! Can't wait to see what you do with weddings :) If you don't mind telling, where was this taken? I would love to know if it's in our area bc that looks like such a cool location!November 15, 2011 - 11:03 pm
Derek & Cameron
After meeting with Cameron a couple months ago, I couldn’t wait for this session. We talked, laughed and quoted Step Brothers for about 2 hours (at one point yelling, “Did we just become best friends?!?!”), and I knew we had to work together. So we met up at Adriatica in McKinney for a quick engagement shoot last week and I was honestly bummed when we were out of time. These two are hilarious. Plus, as you can tell they are a very photogenic couple. Oh, and what’s up with me photographing celebrity look-alikes lately?! Does she not look just like Malin Akerman?
- Beautiful pictures! I'm still sad that I couldn't get u to photograph our wedding :(November 12, 2011 - 1:35 pm
- We love them!!! Thank you so much for amazing pictures and all the fun we had with you & Jessica! So grateful for your talent!!November 11, 2011 - 7:05 pm
Brian and Heather
So, i’ll admit. I was kinda nervous about this engagement session. Here’s why. When I met with Brian and Heather a few months ago, Brian was very open about his disliking engagement photos (like most guys). So I was nervous that it might be a little awkward or I wouldn’t know what to do with them for the shoot. But I have got to say that they both did amazing. First of all, his ability to make Heather laugh just by looking at her made my job a lot easier since I love laughing photos. They were both very natural behind the camera. Sometimes, I don’t think guys realize how easy engagement sessions are and how fun they can be. I think he did great! (And so did Heather, but that’s a given!)
Cameron & Katrina
I love shooting near home. And it’s even better when you know the couple! Katrina and I have gone to church together since 7th or 8th grade so we go way back. And even though this was my first time to meet Cameron, I felt like we went way back too since he looks just like Ben Affleck. Seriously, scroll through the photos and you’ll see. Katrina’s last name is Garner too…think about it… We started in downtown Wylie, and then went over to a nearby field to finish up. Katrina had a bunch of cool ideas for us to use, and I think it made for an awesome engagement session. Check it out…
