Abilene Lightning Storm {landscape}

I went out this evening chasing (and sometimes running from) a storm near Abilene, Texas. It was exhilarating and scary all at once.

This is a combination light painting of the road and lightning shot. That's the moon in the top left corner peeking through as the clouds closed in.

Meredith & Grant {First Look}

It makes me very happy to share this video of Meredith and Grant's first look. They are such a beautiful couple and their wedding was simply amazing!

More to come...

Lauren & Tyler {Engaged}

This beautiful couple has such an interesting story. They both went to Texas A&M at the same time and were often in the exact same place, but never knew each other. It wasn't until after they graduated that they met and fell in love, and I'm glad they did, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten the privledge of shooting these photographs.

On a chilly March morning, we shot all over the campus of Texas A&M University - at the front entrance, at the Alumni Center in front of Kyle Field, at the Century Oak- and someplace really special - in the "flag room" at the MSC. Then we headed across the street to the Dixie Chicken. It was so much FUN shooting all over the beautiful campus, and especially with such kind people. 

It was really hard to pick my favorites to share here, but here are a few.

Thank you, Lauren and Tyler, for being so awesome and giving with your time. I'm looking forward to photographing your wedding this fall!

Maifest 125th Anniversary {Video}

I'm so happy to finally be able to share this video!!! 

After a year of production, it was shown last night at the Maifest 125th Anniversary Celebration dinner.

Maifest is one of the things that makes Brenham so unique and such a great place to live and raise a family. Thank you, Maifest Association, for allowing me some great behind the scenes access to how this awesome event is put together every year. Happy 125th Anniversary Maifest!

Kat Post Sammy Timelapse

The Kat Post is a new post office just off the campus of Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas. This is "Kat Post Sammy," which will be featured on the front of the building.

I can't wait to see Sammy Bearkat larger than life!

This is a timelapse video of the creation of Kat Post Sammy from inking to completion. I forgot to turn on the screen capture when I inked Sammy's face.

Enjoy!

Zwerneman Family {Portraits}

Now this was a really fun (and exhausting) shoot! I recently photographed the Zwerneman family on the campus of their alma mater, Texas A&M University.

The whole family was so great and they had so much fun running around the campus and playing. There are just so many fun images of the kids runnig and jumping and playing and hiding and climbing that I had a VERY tough time choosing my favorite few to share here.

Thank you again, Zwerneman family, for allowing me the opportunity to capture these images of your beautiful family!
