Beth's Bridal Portraits

Beth Kennedy was married this past Saturday, but I was photographing Lisa-Kay Stone's and Chris Pierotti's wedding. Nevertheless, we created Beth's bridal portraits at Flippen Park in Dallas a few weeks ago:

The Plotts Love Hockey!

I photographed Todd, Suzanne, and Oliver Plott at the studio for their family portraits. The Dallas Stars were still in the playoffs at the time, and Oliver is a budding hockey star himself!

Kim Heuer and her family

I've photographed the Heuer's several times over the past few years - most recently with Kim Heuer for her senior portraits at the studio. The first image is a 5x30 montage print from Kim's senior session and the second image is a family portrait from 2006.

I still have a bit of catching up to do - 27 posts by my count. The new plan is to post 3 a day for the next 10 days!

This is Angenette Taylor's new actor's headshot:

Caroline's Senior Portraits and an Email Note

Okay, about email, I haven't been good with it lately. Here's the deal - I receive over 20 legitimate messages a day and over 50 when you add spam. At least half of the legitimate messages are related to the Dallas Professional Photographer's Association. I'm the President this year, or as I like to put it, 'Chief Sucker'. Basically, it saps more time than I have, and it's a purely volunteer position - but it's an organization I really believe in, and of course it's an honor to be President.

I'm trying to keep up with email, but it's very hard when I'm also trying to get other things done - like shooting, working on orders in Photoshop, paying the bills, etc. Please bear with me - I'll try to get to all emails - but please also call us at 214-887-9996 for a quicker response. Thanks.

Caroline Cuny was at the studio with her mom and brother for her senior portraits. She's a budding filmmaker (hence the lightsaber):

Mr. Mac

Occasionally (but rarely), a re-shoot will be requested, and that's okay. If I feel like there is definite reason for it (horrible weather or the child was having their worst morning ever), there is no charge - if not, the charge is just half the normal session fee. We did this with Mac Dixon. Mac's mom, Betsy, was really hoping for more of a selection of horizontally framed portraits of just Mac. The first session is here, and here are a few from the recent re-shoot (we went to Lakeside Park again):
