Lifestyle Shoot

A few months ago I made the drive over to Austin to meet up with Fred Egan so he could take a few photographs of me for my new image. As Fred stated on his blog, one of the most important things I learned from him, Mike, & Amy at the workshop is how important your personal image is for your business. So I called him up and he hooked me up with a few signature images to use for my blog/website!

I stole these few directly from his blog. Go by to see the rest of the shoot or just check out some of his other portrait/lifestyle work.

Free to Succeed Tour : Houston

Last night I attended the Free to Succeed Tour by David Jay and Jasmine Star. All I can say is WOW!!

These guys are seriously 2 of the most talented photographers in our Industry. I was very fortunate to be able to come out and here both of them speak. They both shared tons of valuable information on how to grow your business that I plan on implementing right away. It was well worth the $100 to attend!

Houston was the icebreaker of the tour and they still have a ton of cities to do. Check out their Free To Succeed Tour site to see if they will be in a city near you. It's worth going to just to network with other photographers if anything else. I had a great time meeting new people that I hope to keep in contact with and catching up with some old friends while at the workshop. So GO, you wont regret it!

You know I had to get a photo with Jasmine right...she's really one of the nicest people you'll ever meet-despite her claims to the contrary.



And the man himself, David Jay.

Lyndsey & Matt : Wedding

It's funny, I get a lot of aggie weddings! I think my website might be posted on their message boards or something because half of my weddings this year have been students of Texas A&M. I'm not complaining though, these weddings are usually very upbeat and fun. Lyndsey and Matt's wedding was no different. Their ceremony and reception was at the beautiful Bentwater Country Club in Magnolia Tx. It stopped raining just in time for us to grab some portraits before their outdoor ceremony. I love outdoor ceremony's, but man it was hottt!!

Gavin Degraw Live

If anyone has seen my twitter or facebook account the past day I'm sure you already know but I saw Gavin Degraw Live last night. I've been a huge fan of his since his debut "Chariot" came out. Most people know him by "the guy who did the One Tree Hill theme song" but his music goes way beyond that. His new album self titled "Gavin Degraw" is solid. I don't think there's a bad track on it. This guy is talented man and seeing him live was worth every penny!

His opening act was an artist named Marie Digby. She had a nice sound and was pretty decent onstage. Her album is definately worth checking out..I bought it last night on iTunes for only $7.99 and she has a few good tracks on it. Her rendition of Rhinna's "Umbrealla" is pretty popular too apparently...I liked it, check it out!



Edited to add** BTW, John Mayer is playing this Saturday at The Woodlands Pavillion @7:00. If anyone is interested in going just shoot me an email!!

Litty & Cecil : Day After

I was super excited when Litty and Cecil told me they wanted to do a Day After session while we were in Cabo. So I took them out on my last day in downtown San Lucas, which was great because it gave me a few days to hang out and find a ton of places to shoot. They totally worked it out on the shoot, as I knew they would...good times!

Happy 4th

Yesterday was the 1 year anniversary of my blog! It was fun to look back at my old post and realize how much I've changed not only as a photographer, but as a person as well. I've proud to see how far I've come in the last year and I am looking forward to continue to learn and grow as a photographer.

Hope everyone has a great 4th today. Here is a post from last year's BBQ. We have something even more special planned for today! Be safe!
