A Kid at the Candy Store: Macey Flowers, Senior 2010

Every time I get done with a session, I am like a little kid who just left the candy store.  I cannot wait to get home and see what all of my little sweets taste like or should I say, "What all of my portraits I just shot look like!"  As I open my first couple of images and let out a squeal of excitement because of the beauty God has allowed me to capture, I am floored in amazement at all of the beautiful images that unfold before me and not because of my own accord.  I love getting to spend precious moments on each clients' images and every time it never fails to amaze me that it still feels like the first time I opened up the first session I shot on my own to see what was in store.  As always, I am ecstatic to memorialize our clients' precious occasions because each session is perfect in its own uniqueness and holds special remembrances.

Field of "Greens"

The smell of the grass, the beating of the hot sun, the waving of the tree leaves, and the sound of the birds chirping as the fly on bye... There is just something special and relaxing about an empty field. Something that takes you away from the fast-paced, high social life that seems to drain every moment of everyday. Something that brings back old memories and transitions you into a state of relaxation.  Something that simply transforms you the moment you step into a field of tall, lush "greens;" it is like you just stepped into another place. A "dream..." A "dream" world where everything stops and you can't help but be reminded of picking flowers and eating freshly cut watermelon in the summer with your grandparents.  A time where nothing was important and all you had to do was have fun, enjoy yourself, and turn around to receive an accepting smile!

Tutus and Tiaras

Slip on the perfect outfit for the occasion, make the final touches on the hair, and decide to be wild and crazy and go barefoot or to place on the perfect set of heels.  Regardless the outfit and occasion, there is nothing more fun than watching a little girl play dress up.  The world is at her finger tips and anything can happen in her imaginary world from the toad becoming a prince to money growing on trees!  But somehow as we little  girls become older, the simple act of playing dress up becomes something in our daily routine of getting ready every day to being moms, daughters, sisters, wives, and co-workers and we sometimes forget that magic sparkle in our day to day activities that was once an occasion... playing dress up.  Today, I wish for all of you little girls out there who have now become grown-up little girls and who's once imaginary world of dress up has become the monotony of everyday life activities, to stop, challenge yourself, and to once more find the that little girl within you whose world and plans were endless and hone the magic within!...  Have a wonderful day today playing dress-up and remember the world is at your fingertips; it is up to you what you can dream! 

A Brisk Wind and Beautiful Sunset!

It was a slightly breezy and cool night with some favorite people of mine when we headed for the beach to catch a glimpse of the tide before sunset.  With the glorious light of the sunset, fabulous God-made scenery, and this wonderful family, it was something special!  I could not be happier with these and am very blessed for the time I got to spend with them in Galveston.  I love all of you very much and am blessed to be apart of your lives... Edgar, Stephanie, Gabby and Jaden!    

500 Days of Summer

Well, as the summer is quickly coming to a close and the memories, but a page in the scrapbook. I cannot help but ponder on some of life's greatest treasures... I wonder how many of you ever sit back, relax, and smell the fresh summer air as it flies on bye?... I love the fresh scent of summer night air; it reminds me of summer camps, cook outs, birthday parties, drive-in movies, camping, and most of all, wonderful times with family and friends. Times that never seemed to be a big issue growing up or fly bye too quickly, but as I have become older, those times have seemed to pass much faster than they used too. And time itself has become much more of the essence and seems to fade quicker and quicker every year and those precious times with the family and friends seem to vanish in a blink of an eye and are only fingerprinted with a snapshot of a camera. And so as time continues to quickly pass and seasons change, I cannot help, but sit and think what new memories will be made and what the new fresh scent of summer air will hold in store for me in the years to come. But before I become to anxious about the future memories, and too sad over the ones past, I challenge each and every one of you, as well as myself, to love the present and experience the rest of your summer with joy and fun-filled memories... The more I think the preview for the movie 500 Days of Summer seems to be something that will make it on my list of things to do and bring my summer to a nice and reminiscing close of the past, present, and future summers.
