Last week was a fun week. I met with Denae and Beverly out in Elgin at Denae's place for their highschool senior portraits. What a cool place to live and work. Denae lives at Down Home Ranch which is a working ranch for people with intellectual disabilities and those who choose to live and work with them (www.downhomeranch.com) . The day started out perfect for photos, light breeze, nice overcast. Then, the clouds went away and the wind came. The wind wasn't an issue for someone with a haircut like mine. Denae and Beverly had to fight with it a little more though. We still got some great photos. Thank you Denae for having me out and showing me around a very cool place.
Bells-
Saturday was Robert and Elizabeth's wedding in Georgetown. Bride, groom, and all related parties looked great. The ceremony was done very well with a nice personal touch. After the ceremony we ended up taking the unity and memorial candles and a hand full of flowers to the reception which of course we did not mind. As I was trying to beat the Hummer Limo to the reception, I remember Amanda telling me "be careful! The flowers!" Amanda and I enjoyed all of your family and friends and they were very good to us We know there are literally hundreds of photographers in the Central Texas area and we really appreciate your choice to partner with us. We look forward to wrapping up the post production of your images and then getting started on your album!
Bellies-
Sunday Amanda and I met Michelle and her family at her pasture in east Austin. We photographed Michelle because she is expecting a new arrival in 6 or so weeks. Michelle wasn't the only one in the photos though. Her daughter Iris and boyfriend Eli managed to sneak in a photo or two. Oh yeah, we had a 4th subject, Michelle's 8 year old horse Lilly also made for a great subject. Apparently Lilly liked me. At least that is what Michelle told me as the horse head butted my shoulder "as a sign of affection." I think horses are majestic creatures and did not mind the gesture at all. I just tried to communicate to the horse that she warn me so I could be better balanced. The photos came out really well and we wish Michelle a very healthy pregnancy. We look forward to photographing the newborn in a couple of months (not sure Lilly will make it into that session).
Today I'll start my week by working on post production on these three sessions. It's a good day. I'm looking out my window at overcast skies, listening to channel 32 on xm radio on the computer. I wish everyone a blessed week and I sign off with tHis word:
Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning, for I am trusting you. Show me where to walk, for I give myself to you.
Psalm 143:8, NLT
-Ryan
