Austin's Senior Portraits at Rob Fleming Park
In the scorching August of 2023, I embarked on a unique photographic journey with Austin, a talented student at The John Cooper School, to create his high school senior portraits. The chosen backdrop for this session was Austin's favorite spot – the serene Rob Fleming Park in The Woodlands, Texas.
Courtney’s Maternity Session in Houston Museum District
I’m getting more and more maternity sessions recently. This means that the world is finally recovering from the pandemic.
It always brings me joy to see an expecting father-to-be worshiping his wife for carrying this gift of a new life.
Winter Mini Session for Rufa Akhmedli
Winter mini sessions.
Rufa Akhmedli wanted a bunch of portraits to use on her Instagram account. They had to look different enough, as if taken on separate occasions. Rufa brought 3 charges of clothes and I was amazed how quickly she changed into yet another gorgeous outfit within the allocated 30 minutes still keeping her poise.
Winter Mini Session for Victoria Detweiler and her new husband
Winter mini sessions.
Victoria Detweiler booked a session for all her extended family but it was so cold that day that the rest of the siblings chickened out.
I always say that the brave and stoic get it all. Victoria’s session turned into a romantic shoot with her new husband who went along with any idea I came up with on how he could say “I love you” to his young bride in a silent photograph.
I wish all the happiness in the world to this sweet and beautiful couple.
Fall Mini Session for Shannon Brady and her family
Shannon Brady wanted this session to be an 8th birthday present for her elder son. Love how they thought through all the little details of their outfits and how naturally they settled into suggested poses. We got quite a lot of color into the background on that cold November day.
Fall Mini Session for Briana Honrath and her family
It was pure joy photographing Briana’s family: 2.5-year-old daughter Aurora, husband Marc, his mother Pat and two friendly labradoodles Leonardo and Arnold. It was mostly chaotic but also organized, if you know what I mean. They certainly came well-prepared for the shoot and I just love the results of our mutual efforts.
Fall Mini Session for Casey Platt and her family
Casey was looking for family photos with her husband and her two little girls: 2-year-old Ella and baby Olivia. As always with photo sessions involving young children, we went along with the girls’ moods and impulses. Thus having given up on ideal backgrounds or elegant poses, we captured plenty of genuine smiles, hugs and kisses. The images below were Casey’s favorites.
Joyka’s portraits at Lake Erie (part 2)
You should have seen Joyka yesterday when we took him to Lake Erie for probably the last time this year to spend time on the beach and splash in warm waves. He didn’t sit still for a second and swam back and forth retrieving a stick from the deep turquoise waters countless times. I wish we lived a bit closer to come here more often.
Joyka’s portraits at Lake Erie
I haven’t posted Joyka for a while, so here’s a bit of dog portraits and candids from one of our trips to Lake Erie.
Swimming (and everything to do with water) is Joyka’s favorite activity, mine as well, and Presque Isle State Park is a perfect location for that.
I wish it was a bit closer to home or we lived a little closer to the lake.
