I took a group of my On Location Photography students to the Stockyards for our first successful outdoor field trip (the weather really has not cooperated since the class started!). There was still snow on the ground from our recordbreaking 10-12 inch snowfall the week before Valentine’s Day. Quite a sight in Texas!
We first met under the Fort Worth Stockyards sign and ventured up and down the road seeing the sights and finding great portrait spots. Here are a few shots from my favorite red doors!
It was pretty cold so we ducked into the Maverick Western Store to do a little shopping and warm up! They have gorgeous clothes, boots, hats, belts, you name it! We picked up a new cowboy hat for Mason (he outgrew his first one pretty quick…that kid has a big head!)
We did a little more shooting and then headed to The Lone Star Cafe to grab a soda (or beer in Neil’s case!) and get a bite to eat.
Avery had her favorite…a root beer float….and Neil, well he had one of his favorite beers (it was just $.50 more than a soda so why not? He says it was 5 o’clock somewhere!)
Mason and Avery munched on a grilled cheese and some delicious hand cut fries! Yum!
Then off to the World’s Most Famous Honky Tonk…Billy Bob’s of course! The kids had a blast dancing even though they weren’t playing country music…uh, what’s up with that???
It was a pretty fun day! For anyone interested in the Photography classes offered at UTA log on to www.uta.edu/ced

I’m always surprised at how quickly Thanksgiving approaches and then Christmas each year. Right now I’m hard at work finishing up the editing of images, designing custom holiday cards, ordering prints and getting everything ready for my wonderful clients to pick up before Thanksgiving. Thanks to every one of my clients for continuing to help me live out my passion and do what I love every day! I thank God every day that he has brought each of you into my life…it’s so much more complete with you in it!
In case you don’t hear from me until after Thanksgiving…know that I am thankful for you and your friendship!

Check out my favorites…aren’t they cute!
Went to an AWESOME workshop in July and learned all about photographing newborns…my favorite! Here are some images from the workshop…it was so fun getting to learn with other photographers!
A HUGE thanks to Allison who has been helping me in my office. What a blessing to have such a sweet person helping me get caught up! Just wanted you to know how much I appreciate the help! THANKS A BUNCH!

We had a great urban session downtown with Ryan. I was so glad he brought along his guitar to use during the session. I was thrilled to get these cool images. Thanks for an awesome session! Hope you have a great senior year.
