When I was in Texas shooting a bridal at the McKinney Cotton Mill I took along Laura to take some photos of her too.  Man!  Do I feel old.  I’ve know Laura since she was about 3 years old.  Her mom and I have been friends for 15 years or so and her brother and my son are roommates.  No doubt about it, all our kids are growing up!  So here are a few photos from the shoot.  I’d love to photograph more high school seniors and teenagers.  So if you have a teen or are a teen I’d love to hear from you.  And feel free to leave a comment.  I’m sure Laura would be thrilled to get some comments!

Lindsay and Hank were the second engagement session I shot while in San Francisco last week.  They are so fun and have the most amazing dog, Cashew.  I’m really looking forward to their wedding in Cabo later this year.  Thanks guys for showing me around your neighborhood a little and for letting me hang out at your beautiful new place.  See you in Cabo!!!

I not only attended a workshop but also did a bridal shoot.  I saw some photos at the Old Cotton Mill in McKinney and thought it would be such an inspirational place to shoot.  So I found a model and shot for a few hours.  I wish more brides did bridal shoots before the wedding in California.  They are quite popular in the southern states as was apparent by the 3 brides who were there while we were!  I hope to go back there to shoot again because I discovered 2 hours is barely enough time to even scratch the surface of all cool places on the property.  I love shooting for myself because it gives me a chance to take some risks and experiment.  With both the photography and the post processing.  So here are a few pics from the day.  First though I want to send out a great big thanks to Brooke, the lovely model,  for coming with me.  And another great big thanks to Erin Cole for loaning me a few gowns.  Oh and be sure and come back later this week for more from the Cotton Mill.  I had another lovely young lady with me.  Can’t wait to share her photos too!

This week I traveled to San Francisco to shoot a few engagement sessions.  What a fun job I have huh!  I was excited to see Scotia and Juan again.  They found me through Scotia’s good friend Jana whose wedding I shot last year.  Their wedding is going to be at the beautiful Rancho Los Lomas and Kevin Covey is coordinating.  With Scotia’s great style I know the wedding is going to be gorgeous!!! So without further delay, here are some engagement pics from a cold, windy, grey day in San Francisco.  But aren’t they fun!!!

while in San Francisco this week for an engagement extravaganza. Meet Cashew. Come back soon for pics of his mommy and daddy!
