Senior: Thomas

Thomas had his Senior portraits taken on the same day as Robert, and has been waiting patiently for me to post his pictures. So yes Thomas, it is true, I did save the best for last!


Thomas is ahead of the game and has been taking dual credit at the local community college while finishing up his Senior year. He is as good a guy as you could ever hope to meet. Ladies, I think he is eligible;).



Thomas, thanks for letting me shoot your Senior Portraits, and for keeping all the locals talking while I took Rob's pics!

More Senior Guys

Robert, otherwise known as; Rob Rob, Handsome Rob, Roberto, and Digga-Digga, holds a special place in my heart (to the left and up a little bit). He and his family are great friends of ours and I was especially happy to take his Senior Pictures. Not only is he a very talented musician, but he also possesses a sharp wit(when using it for good and not evil), and great taste in music, books, and movies (except "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", whats up with that?). He had to leave early for praise band practice, so we did not have as much time as I would have liked, but we still got some great pictures...
Not only does he play the bass and acoustic guitar but he also rocks the drums for our churches' Youth Group and Worship Service...


A guy and his truck share a special bond (at least in Texas they do)...

Robert's cousin, Thomas, also had his portraits done that day. I will post the rest of his session soon, so check back and leave some comments, who doesn't love (nice) comments!!

West Coast Meets Gulf Coast

Karis had a great gift for her birthday last week, a surprise visit from her good friend from California, Lydia.
I grew up playing a Coleco Vision and "Oregon Trails" on the Commodore 64, so I am still very much amazed by the internet and the enormous changes it has made to our lives. Karis and Lydia are great friends even though they live in two different states and see each other once every blue moon. They stay in touch through all the web has to offer, in addition to the occasional "old school" phone call...Lydia and Karis, thanks so much for letting me be a part of Y'alls visit!!

Senior at the Farm

I have a couple senior shoots to post this week; strange thing is, they are all guys. Normally, the only guys I photograph are still running around in diapers, so it is a nice change to have a chance to work with a great group of older guys.
First up, is Daniel. I am not sure if anything phases this guy, he was polite, mellow, and very patient. It was hot and humid throughout the shot and he never offered a complaint. He was flying out a couple days after our session to perform at Carnegie Hall in NY with his H.S. choir group. He is also a musician and brought along his guitars for some shots...


Daniel, thanks for working with me on your Senior Portraits (and Martha, thanks for chasing cats out of the picture). I hope your NY trip was a blast!

Karis

I had a great time with Karis today, not only is she witty, smart, and fun to be around, but she is also "gorgeous" (as a some what strange man came and told us) and so very easy to take pictures of!

Dave, you may want to start dusting off the ol' shotgun soon!

As we were driving away we heard the whistle of a train, so we both jumped out of the vehicle and grabbed this picture.

Karis, I had a great time with you today and I can't wait to finish part two of your session.

Brother and Sister

Jackie wanted some shots with her brother Danny during her Senior Session, it was very cool to watch these two interact with eachother. Danny knows just what to do to get Jackie to laugh, and Jackie seems to enjoy laughing...



One last jumping shot

This is one of my favorite shots from that day, so I thought I would try to sneak it in. Jackie you look awesome! Thanks for letting me take ya'lls pictures!
