Official Snow Day

Matt — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 15:26:23 +0000

I guess I really wasn’t surprised when the district announced last night that all of the schools would be closed today due to inclimate weather. I woke up well before sunrise this morning and couldn’t wait for the sun to come up just enough to give me decent light to see what the additional snowfall overnight had brought. The yard which was a mess after yesterday’s snowball fights, snowman building and general horsing around was all fresh and new. In other areas snow like this wouldn’t be much to talk about but for Texas, this is substantial. Last night the single day’s snowfall record was broken and from what I understand I don’t believe we have ever seen this much. We are enjoying it while we can!!

Night Shots in the Snow

I took the opportunity to take advantage of the combination of the low cloud cover and the snow to get some good night shots. These were all taken around 10:30 PM last night with exposures from between 1 second to 7 seconds. Lots of fun!

Let it snow

According to local news D/FW International airport has received 9.5 inches of snow at 9pm. That’s blizzard weather by Dallas standards. These were taken this morning, about thirty minutes after the snow had started. I can’t wait to see what it is going to look like tomorrow morning!!

Teen Birthday Glamor Shoot

We had so much fun with this one. The girls started off not really sure about the camera but you could tell that after a while they weren’t too worried about it and just had a good time. It was a birthday present for a 13 year old and we gathered wigs and props for a few weeks before and when it was all said and done they used almost all of them.

It’s always nice…

It’s always awesome when we get feed back like this from our clients:

“We LOVE the wedding pictures. You and Matt truly have a gift. You captured the perfect pictures from that day, and I can’t wait to show them to family and friends for the rest of our lives. Thank you so much. We have had numerous guests tell us how wonderful the pictures are. I’m so glad you captured not only our emotions, but also how beautiful the church looked and how much fun everyone had. You two are great, and I know we’ll be coming to you for family photos one day!”

Lambo anyone?

We always run across something different when we’re off on photo shoots. Today was no exception. Of course whenever you’re in or around the Shops at Legacy in Plano you are bound to see something like this but when I’m there I usually don’t have a camera other than my cell phone with me. If my oldest son was there he would have been jumping up and down screaming at the sight of this little gem.

Ashley & Jordan Engagement Session

Matt — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 03:23:41 +0000

What do you do with a great looking couple that is as much fun to shoot as they are in love with each other? Let them be themselves and capture it all. We had so much fun last Saturday and we pretty much had run of the entire Arboretum. We made it in just before they closed up for the evening so the only other thing going on were a couple of wedding setups and a few folks that came late in the day as well. What was even better was that these two spotted some trains on the way and we decided to check them out when we got done. I am so glad we did. We ended up with some amazing imagery!
