Nikki (mom), Matt (dad) and Jennifer (my wife) have all been friends since college at Louisiana Tech in Ruston. We typically try to visit each other once a year … but this year we got to see them twice! When we visited them in Copperas Cove earlier this year I remember seeing a few cool spots downtown that would make good photo locations … and wished I could use them. Needless to say, I was excited when over a month ago Nikki told Jennifer she wanted me to come down and do portraits of Evie and a few family portraits for Christmas cards. Due to crazy schedules … the only date available was this past Sunday. Little did we know … the weather was not going to cooperate at all. After driving three hours through endless cold, wet weather … I realized I wasn’t going to be able to use the locations I had in mind. Thank God for speed-lights, Pocket Wizards and for forcing me out of my comfort-zone … oh and furniture with character! I ended up turning their master bedroom into a mock studio and captured some unique images I’d of never captured had the weather been perfect. I think Evie had a better time playing in the dresser drawer than she would have had somewhere in downtown Copperas Cove anyways. There’s a ton of them … but here are my favorites.
