Meet Addison. She made her debut back in May with her two cousins Caden & Graham. This time she’s back at the Dallas Arboretum for the Great Pumpkin Festival to pose in her skunk costume. Fortunately … she didn’t get into character during our time together … if you know what I mean. ;- ) Choosing the images for this post proved to be quite difficult because she doesn’t know how to take a bad photo.
These guys were a mess! But they sure made good Mother’s Day photos for grandma!
Say hellloooo to Kaylee! She’s a senior at Ennis High School … and also my cousin-law. I figured she’d be easy to photograph since all the women in Jennifer’s family are good-looking, spunky and love to pose for the camera. But she far exceeded my expectations. She really came to life in the middle of downtown Dallas with tons of people around watching!
One of these days I hope to have an actual work related post. But I’ll be the first to admit that photo sessions have been on the dry side the last couple of months … but light rain is in the forecast next month. So until then … I’ll keep posting whatever cool stuff I come across.
Jennifer’s grandmother suffered a few strokes recently … the second one left her totally blind. So it’s crucial for someone to be around most of the time to help out. We’ve been spending almost every Sunday about 40 miles south of Dallas in Ennis at her grandparents farm. It’s been nice to get away from the city for an entire day every week … and definitely away from the computer screen. Of course I usually have the camera on hand just in case I get bored or inspired. You’d think I’d run out things to photograph … but on 40 acres … there’s always something going on. Especially the cows … some of them act like they know they’re in front of the camera!
Here are a few shots from last Sunday:
Jennifer and I went down to Ennis yesterday to hang out with her grandparents on their farm. I took the camera along because I hadn’t really had a chance to see what the new camera is capable of since it arrived last Monday. The dynamic range, color and ISO performance are amazing … and I’m officially pumped to shoot the portrait sessions that I have coming up. Luckily there’s lots of cool stuff laying around because no one was up for getting their photo taken … except for the stray cow that decided to stop by for a quick portrait session … and her grand-dad … who didn’t have a choice.
