WOW!!!


WOW! I had a wonderful opportunity to photograph an extremely energetic and fun senior last week. Since the majority of my clients are under 3 feet tall, it was so refreshing to photograph someone that stayed in one place for longer than 2 seconds. :) This senior was so exuberant that when I asked her to NOT smile, it was so difficult for her! I guess if you looked like this when you smile, why would you ever stop?!!


Here is a shot of her trying not to smile.

And another... They had an amazing tropical backyard complete with pool and waterfalls. I felt like I had been transported to a fabulous island for a modeling shoot!

Hard to believe this was taken in Texas in APRIL, right?


Seniors are quickly becoming one of my favorite populations to photograph. They are so full of life and have this carefree sense about them. The magical combination of very little responsibility coupled with a future full with possibilities is definitely something worth capturing. Thanks M for letting me experience your youthful joy and spirit! Good luck next year in college.

Staying Focused,

Jamie

I love Texas!

Does it get ANY better than this?


Every year at this time I feel such a sense of pride about living in Texas. Not only is the weather amazing, but the wildflowers make their grand appearance. The bluebonnets perfectly frame the highways and country roads, which is a constant reminder of how beautiful this state truly is.


Bluebonnet season for a Texas photographer is almost as busy as Christmas. I'm so thankful I have had the opportunity to enjoy God's creation to the fullest this spring. Featured here are some shots from a recent portrait party in a tiny historic Texas town that literally take my breath away!



I have a few more sessions so I will share more in a day or two. Did I tell you I was proud to be a Texan?


Staying Focused,
Jamie
