365 - Week 27......Catching up! Part 3

Yesterday, we met one of my friend's grandfathers and today we're meeting his grandfather, Mr. Boyd.
Although I spent more time listening than actually shooting, I enjoyed just letting him talk and just hanging out with him for a while.
More of his pictures to come!

365 - Week 27......Catching up!

Yep, still catching up on my "365" project.

You may remember that I've taken on a project for myself of photographing World War II vets because I feel that it is so important to honor them and their service.

I was connected with Mr. Snyder through Megan, a blog reader, and I'm so thankful that I had the opportunity to meet him and his wife. They live in the same town where I shot Marsha and Matt's wedding and we met up for a very nice session. I enjoyed hearing his stories and I'll tell more when I actually have a chance to work on this session a little bit more and blog it.

Montgomery family session

The weather teased us with rains and heavy winds, but thankfully all we got was a breeze. I met up with the Montgomery family at their house and we had our session at the golf course by their neighborhood. Thankfully we were able to finish the majority of it before kindly being asked to leave. It seems that having us stand on the golf course does more to affect people's golf game than the crazy winds we had that day.......but we obliged and moved on to a different area. All I can say is: check out the hair on the little guy! (the last picture)

The family!


And the kids. Yes, it was a windy day.

The Helms - Slideshow

Helm portrait session

"Hi, we're the Helms. We like to have our picture taken."

It's a joke. Well, actually, maybe not. We'd been trying to coordinate this session for months and we FINALLy made it work! I knew Stevie in college and I met Jenny along the way when they started dating, but I hadn't seen them in a few years. I think I'd forgotten how goofy, um, I mean, "cool" Stevie is. Watching him be himself and watching Jenny just watch him had me laughing the whole time. And it helped that Jenny's sister is pretty funny, too, so it made for a very fun session.

Thanks so much for getting me to Austin to finally do this session. I loved it!

Helm portrait session - PREVIEW!

Jenny has been asking for a preview because she's dying to see the pictures, but I'm not sure if this is what she was looking for........

Jenny's very cool husband, Stevie

Paul and Kara

Hey guys: if you want to win a girl's heart, give her a photo session and a day at the spa for Valentine's. What can be more romantic than that?
Well, that's what Paul surprised Kara with for Valentine's Day this year. And I had the privilege of being a part of it when we met for their photo session on the day after Valentine's Day. It was so much fun to photograph them because they were so natural in front of the camera and they were very into each other without me prompting them.
Paul and Kara, thanks for a great session and for your 'up for anything' attitude.

A quick look

I have lots of work that I'm finishing up right now from several sessions in these past two weeks. One such session was for a friend, Jodee, and I can say for certain that she's quite a character! Just take a look at "The many faces of Jodee."

I can't wait to show you some of the upcoming images. Keep checking back this week. I have lots to show you!

How was your weekend? Today was a beautiful day! Too bad I didn't get to spend it outside rollerblading.

Little Harper

Two weeks old and very alert for her age. She's a cutie pie and her mommy doesn't even look like she just had a baby! We had a very peaceful session at their house this past weekend and Harper didn't really fuss much. But we couldn't get her to go to sleep for more than a few minutes! Oh well, she has beautiful blue eyes to show off anyways.

The kitty wanted to play, too.

Leah and Layne

You wouldn't be able to tell, but we were surrounded by chaos and sound as rush hour traffic zoomed back and forth. We made our way through Memorial Park and then up the road closer to downtown. Layne and Leah (and Cooper) were so relaxed and easy going and helped make it an easy afternoon. Thanks guys!
