What I've Been Doing

Obviously, the title reflects what I've been doing in the photog area of my life and not in the personal. That would be just playing with a baby. Recently, I've done a senior, lots of bluebonnets a couple of bridals and a wedding.

I've known Melanie since kindergarten, I think, and worked with her mom for years.

Bluebonnet pics of some of my favorite kids.

This is the bride that I recently shot. Wish I could post the whole dress, it was stunning. After the wedding, though, come check it out.

The wedding was for the son a dear friends. It's always so much more fun when you know the people who are getting married. Here are some shots of the bridal party and the bride.

Group pictures outside at the venue are always difficult. The bride and groom don't usually want to see each other before and by the time the ceremony is over, it's too dark outside or everyone wants to get to the reception and we can't get everyone together.

So, one way I try to solve this problem is to take 2 pics and try to photoshop them together. It only works if I can get it done in about the same kind of light. That takes some finesse with getting the group out, shot, back in and then the bride out. In this situation, the maid of honor didn't follow us out for the group shot, so she was left out and I had to find a place to put her that wouldn't cover someone else in the previous pic.

Groom, groomsmen and almost all the bridesmaids.
