Something New… Photos for a Book Cover

I recently had the opportunity to capture the cover image for a friend’s book cover! I was thrilled to take on this project even though I hadn’t done much with my camera since the birth of my son. It was such a joy to hear her vision and help her plan out a great location and ensure she had colors that would pop with the background. I was NOT thrilled that the sun was in full force in November here in San Antonio. I promise, I never dealt with that on the East Coast, but the final image was stunning BECAUSE of that magnificently bright sun. Just another reminder that God’s ways and plans are NOT mine. Nope, God’s ways and plans are BETTER than what I can think or imagine!

Here is an image of her books that can be pre-ordered here: https://getyouracres.com/

Looking back…

I was talking to my mom about an event 2 years ago, and that motivated to glance back at pictures from then. In the process, I stumbled across family pictures that I had not yet processed. As I looked at them, I just marveled in thinking about how much these children have grown in just 2 years. Here are pictures from my cousins, who I now get to watch grow on a weekly basis 🙂

Taking Portraits with Friends

A few years ago, I went to Niagara Falls for the first time with my friend Le’Toya. I posted some of the scenic pictures around that time. Anyway, while there, I had my camera, so Le’Toya and I decided to make the most of the beautiful scenery and take a few portraits. If you know Le’Toya and me, you would know that there were plenty of silly pictures in there. But, we did also manage to squeeze in some classics! I must say, I think we did pretty good on the fly that HOT summer day! See some of my favorite images below.

Family Moments I Forgot I Had!

Back in January, I participated in the Martin Luther King March with my cousins and their children. It was such a beautiful event on an even beautifuler day! This was definitely a change of pace for me after living on the East Coast for 10+ years and being used to super cold Januaries! Anyway, after the march, we took full advantage of the day and snapped some photos. Here are some of my faves.

Dr, Teacher, Author, Biblical Scholar :: Portraits

A little over a week ago, I had the pleasure of photographing Dr. Dennery, who is a teacher, author, and biblical scholar. Our paths first crossed years ago at church, where she not only led Bible study, but she also led the sign language ministry. Before meeting her, I had never seen someone passionately do sign language interpretation as she did. She is beautiful inside and out, and it was my pleasure to capture her in this portrait session. Below are select images from this session.

The longer I live away from it, the more I grow fonder of that GREAT STATE of TEXAS! I have all of this pride because everything is better in TEXAS!!! The food, the parking, the housing, the weather, the people, the schools, the teams – everything is better in Texas! For my Spring Break this year, I ventured back to my hometown of SA, TX and spent time with family and friends. Here are some of the my favorite images from this trip.
