Good morning all, it’s Friday, the end of the week and excitement on the horizon. This is the last weekend before seniors 2017 begin on Monday – looking forward to seeing what this class is going to be like. It is very interesting how each class has it’s own personality. Each seems to have its own flow and personality. You wouldn’t think that groups as large as each senior class would have this, but it is very true. I’ve noticed it with students coming into the studio, remarks from teachers and parents and administrators. Hopefully 17 is a class with lots of desire and drive.

People often ask me – how difficult is it to take portraits of someone that has more of a look of Lena Dunham as opposed to someone like a Katy Perry, etc. It is not what a person looks like that makes a great portrait, it’s the personality inside, the fire, the emotion. Everyone one has an inner beauty that can be brought out. Sometimes you need to dig a bit to find it – but reaching in and grasping that persons personality is something I treasure! It is a connection that can make a portrait not just a picture, but a memory of a place in time and age – it sounds a bit quirky – but that connection is what I live for, I guess that is why I’ve been doing this since college days at UT in the early 80’s.

Enough rambling for now – hoping everyone has a great weekend, we have a birthday and heading to Austin for an evening. Hook em’ all and be safe. All you bright eyed new seniors – I expect to see you on Monday with excitement in your eyes!!!!

Hi guys,

Well it’s Thursday and we’ve been busy getting the studio ready for next week! Kind of excited – a new year, new seniors, new discovery! Really can’t wait to see what the year holds. One bit of news – this year we will be photographing ALL  of Conroe High School! We have been doing the seniors since 1998 (actually lucky enough to do my 3) and proms as well (I know my kids loved that . . . NOT!!!) So if you like your senior portraits – you should like our underclass portraits as well – we try not to make it cookie-cutter – shush and smile – we hope to make it a portrait you will want to keep and not put on some web site for bad school photos – Just remember – when you come through SMILE!!!!!

Speaking of Conroe High School – if you see the yearbook teacher (Kara Gold) from there – give her a shout and tell her CONGRATULATIONS – she is getting married later this month in Central Park, NY, NY. A wonderful lady who we wish much happiness.

Well – thanks to all who read, I’ll try to make this more interesting as we roll on with this – I’m kind of new, and it’s been a bit since I’ve written for other people. So keep tuned and eventually my inner wackiness will come out.

OUT!!

Well here we are – another school year gone and new summer photos on the horizon! It was a great year – minus the wrath and destruction of the weather we’ve had, hopefully no more.

Seniors 2016 – good luck and God Bless – hopefully all of your dreams come true (or at least close).

Seniors 2017 – Welcome to your senior year – you should have received an information packet at the school – this tells you all about what you need to wear, etc. for your senior portrait. Hurry in – we’ve got prizes to the first 25 in to take their yearbook portrait. Including free sessions and portraits. We are also offering our top session – the Outdoor extreme session for 75.00 – a big savings – check it out.
