I scheduled a photo shoot the weekend of October 18 because I found this amazing graffiti dress in Etsy.  I had the perfect model in mind for the session, but she had a family emergency the morning of the shoot.  I was so bummed because I really wanted to get behind my camera, and I arranged for […]

Working with Natural Light – By Accident

On the last Saturday in September, I had a photo shoot in Downtown Round Rock, Texas.  The session was scheduled earlier in the week because I needed to shoot.  I have a session scheduled for October, but I needed to get behind the lens before that date.  I had a t-shirt that I purchased from Banana Republic which […]

Slay All Day in Round Rock

Fall has arrived in Central Texas.  The mornings are cooler, and there’s less humidity.  The time for sweaters and boots is fast approaching, and I am here for it.  Experiencing some semblance of fall weather is one of the things that I enjoy about living in here.  I’ve been able to wear sweaters and boots longer.  However, with COVID-19 still […]

Chanel in the Park

Last weekend, I created some of my favorite images of 2020!   Since my Concrete Valkyrie session was successful, and a number of models wanted to be part of it, I decided to do another session.  I wanted it to be different from the concrete session, and knew that the session would be held in a park.  I scouted […]

Forest Valkyrie

On August 28, 2020, we lost Chadwick Boseman, Prince T’Challa, from colon cancer.  He was 42 years of old.  Chadwick was diagnosed with Stage 3 in 2016.  What’s amazing and inspiring is that over the last 4 years, this man created memorable movies including his role as the Black Panther.  While he fought his battle, we enjoyed his roles.  This […]

Do It Scared

Over the last weekend in July, I had scheduled a Time for Print Session with a model from one of my Facebook groups.  I put out a casting call, and several models responded (Yeah me!).  I selected Allisa because I liked her look, and she has curves!  All too often, we don’t see a variety of body types […]

Taking It to The Streets

Last month, I put out a model call.  I had just switched to Sony, and I was anxious to get someone in front of my camera.  In all transparency, I did purchase a Sony A7ii last year, but I convinced myself that I didn’t like it.  The truth of the matter was that I had invested a great […]

Summer Time Session

It’s been two months since I had someone in front my camera.  The main reason is because of the “Shelter in Place”.  Photography wasn’t an essential business, and I wanted to observe the guidelines.  I wanted to flatten the curve, and I wanted to protect myself.  Restrictions were lifted here in Texas about three weeks ago, and I could […]
