The Frames in Spain...

Good evening. If you have been checking in on the ol' blog here you have read about our trip to Spain. I am finally caught up on all wedding and portrait work and have begun working on the photos from our expedition.

I hope to have them online in the next couple of weeks.

The first print debut will be in September at the Austin Humane Society's Casino Night Fundraiser. I will be donating a canvas print for auction.

We hope all are blessed.

Matrimony to Maternity

Isn't ironic when people say "don't rush, you have plenty of time" and in the next breath "I wish I had more time"? Time is so relative and can pass by so quickly. That leads me to this blog entry.

Charles and Erica had a nice and intimate ceremony downtown.
The Old Pecan Street Cafe has a hidden little gem of a place upstairs right on 6th St. It started off hectic with crazy traffic and family getting in town late. All that was laid to rest once the ceremony started. The peace that is supposed to be present during such a commitment to God and each other definitely prevailed. It is always encouraging to be a part of a ceremony where God gets the focus and not just a honorable mention just to be polite.

The following week I met my friend and attorney Dax (www.daxlegal.com) at the Capitol for an executive session. We met early in the morning and started outside before the sun got hot After that, we went inside to the House of Representatives chamber and view gallery for a few more shots. Some of the photos are displayed on his website.

That brings us to Fred and Irma's wedding in Round Rock. It took place at First United Methodist Church in Round Rock. What a beautiful Church. It was a great day for a wedding. Everything went off without a hitch. Fred, Irma, and party looked smashing. As always, Amanda and I were honored to play a part in the wedding and really enjoyed getting to know everyone. Photos coming soon.

Then there is Anna and Jayson. Amanda and I photographed their wedding in March of 2007 at the Oasis. Now they are parents to be and called on us to do maternity photos. I always say I have the best clients and of course that still holds true in this case. The portrait session went well and it was really nice to be able to catch up with them and see how their lives have grown since the wedding. We look forward to the arrival of a healthy Austyn and putting him in pictures as well.

That pretty much makes the blog current. I hope all have a blessed week.
