In Love...

Here we go again, Cupid has been working overtime this year... Engagement sessions and Weddings are starting to fill my calendar for the coming wedding season already. These are from an engagement session done about a month ago. Im really beginning to produce the images that I see in my mind. Oh and if you the last engagement session , my status is still the same...Single, and looking lol...

Homekoming...

Not long ago I had the opportunity to attend a workshop hosted by Audrey Woulard. Ive been excited about going since February, when I booked the last spot of the year. It was a great experience, Audrey's cool and extremely talented as well as a business genius. I learned lots of things, met GREAT people (Hey Meghan!), and of course got to spend sometime with 2 of my favorite women, (my grandmother and aunt) oh I forgot to mention the 'shop was in Chicago. I had a great time, here are my favorite images from the workshop, theyre REAL PEOPLE, not models lol... Enjoy!!! Oh and let me know if you like the new logo!!

State Fair Classic ... Unfortunately

The State Fair of Texas includes funnel cakes, the midway, the Texas star, BIG TEX and of course The Cotton Bowl. Annually, the Grambling Tigers and Prairie View Panthers make the trek to Dallas to play in the State Fair Classic. Although normally Grambling storms through the conference, this year, Prairie View was doing the storming while Grambling stumbled. For 22 Years Grambling handed the Panthers embarassing loss after embarassing loss, but not this year...or so we thought. Prairie View sported an undefeated record and the aura of a BCS Title Contender. With that said, the Panthers proved to be followers of the tradition (unfortunately). The Panthers struck first and lead early 9-0, but a Quarterback substitution and one Panther turnover (pick-six) proved to be all Grambling needed to change the scope of the game. Final Score: Grambling - 40. Prairie View - 16.

My favorite images from the game, sadly I didnt capture much action (on purpose).

Ike 2...

I just realized that I had more images from Ike... Since I was playing catch up from the "time off" during Ike, I kinda lost track of things. Anyway these are images post IKE. The first set is while I was driving back from Dallas, an Exxon in College Station... If you look at this post you can see how fast gas prices soared in just 3 days. The second is the scene at one of the few stores open for business in Northwest Houston. Make sure you look at the writing on the tshirt...

Fathers be good to your DAUGHTERS (and wife)...

Soon after IKE I had the opportunity to do a session with a co-worker and his family... a family of FIVE-1,2,3,4,5- WOMEN!!! Needless to say I have a brand new respect for him and I can understand why sometimes he needs a day or two away from the office. On top of that he is the University's (womens) Softball coach, so his life is filled to the rim with estrogen, lol. As most of you know I have my 2 little sisters and my mom (and Dad, but this post is about women) in Dallas and going home for a weekend always seems to remind me how much Im not ready for children (especially little women!). Overall the session was great, the girls seemed happy and willing to try different things as well as the parents. 

Here are my favorites from the session... I always say Im going to post my FAVORITE, but I can never pick just one.. 

Old Geezer...

Im old, officially... Not like, 45 mph on the highway old, or eat every Wednesday at Lubys old... but like too old to use the Student ID to get in the movies old, or old enough to not get carded when I order a "drink" old... Anyway, with age comes great privilege and carefree-ness (see). You know how Grandmas can say WHATEVER they want and no one ever say anything back, or how the oldest brother/sister is "in charge" when mom isnt around. With that said now I can wear mismatched socks, underwear with bleach stains, wrinkled shirts and blah blah... When youre old you can do whatever you want and pretty much no one can question you about it, Oh and Im still cooler than 10 out of 9 people. 

Ok seriously, Im the cool old guy. Im 27 years old with two elementary age sisters who are also my biggest fans and a great, supportive family that includes all my friends (even facebook friends, and some myspacers).  So to everyone THANKS FOR ALLLLL THE BIRTHDAY texts, calls, facebook wall posts, emails, e-cards, screams while walking by, visits smoke signals et al.... Extra special thanks to the KlubDixon Staff for throwing the anti energy party!

The image is of me when I was only 9months old...
