Moonrise over Sierra del Carmen {landscape}

This is the full moon rising over the Sierra del Carmen range at Big Bend National Park just after sunset. In the foreground is the Rio Grande.

I'm in El Paso to meet up with Laurence Parent for his "Photographing Big Bend" landscape photography workshop.

SmokeYard Alley {design}

This is the logo I created for Brenham's newest barbecue restaurant, SmokeYard Alley Barbecue - opening THIS WEEKEND!

Be sure to head to downtown Brenham to SmokeYard Alley (next to Glissmann's Gifts) and try some of their authenticslow-smoked ribs, brisket, chicken and sausage - and tell them James sent you!

Step Into the Past - Brenham History Tours

Today is the big day - the first showing of the film series I've been working on with Sharon and Barry Brass, Main Street Brenham and the Brenham Heritage Museum!

Step Into the Past Brenham historical films will be shown tonight at a private showing at the Simon Theater and will be available for viewing by the public starting this Saturday at historical sites all over Brenham!

Sorry I've not updated here as often as I should - it's been a REALLY busy couple of months!

Adrienne Cummings {bridal portrait}

The wedding is over, so I'm very happy to finally be able to share Adrienne's bridal portrait!

These were shot at the Royalty Pecan Farm in Caldwell, Texas on a hot summer Texas afternoon. The temperature was 106 degrees, but Adrienne was a trooper! She had such a great attitude throughout the entire shot, and I think her bridals really capture her beautiful and fun spirit!

Robin & Chase {married}

Robin & Chase: A Love Letter
I love it when two Bearkats get married - and I was honored to be asked to document the wedding day of Robin and Chase. Their day was beautifully emotional. I photograph a lot of weddings, so it's not every day I choke up at one, but I was overwhelmed by their love story and their devotion to each other. Robin and Chase, I pray for a beautiful life together for you. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your day. I hope this video is a reminder of your wedding for many years to come.
