It’s that time of year again … which means it’s time to send out Christmas cards. We’ve been taking self-Christmas portraits to send out to our friends and family for the past three years. We’re definitely getting better at it … but it’s still surprisingly difficult. Here’s a few of my favorites from what we captured a couple of weeks ago for this year’s card:

I had the opportunity to be part of Wendy & Mark’s small and intimate wedding this past weekend at their home near the Firewheel Golf Course in Garland. It was such a pleasure to work with these guys … everyone was very welcoming and seemed very comfortable in front of the camera. Although this was their wedding … I was asked to focus more on portraits of family members, rather than the ceremony itself. We had a very small window of time to capture everything … so Jennifer made sure to keep me on my toes. This was my second week in a row to perform a shoot at a private home. It’s always a pleasant surprise to see what spots become interesting when you’re presented a limited environment. There were lot’s of neat spots in and around their home … but due to the cloudy skies … we had to stick to what we could find quickly outside. We squeezed in as many portraits as possible before the ceremony and captured the remaining few afterwards. There wasn’t much time for capturing details before everyone had to leave for the celebration dinner … but I did manage to nab a few ring shots in and around their kitchen. Thanks again to Wendy & Mark for asking me to document their day … we had a blast!

A couple of weeks ago a few of us local photogs gathered in the square in Carrollton to photograph Ashley & Tod’s engagement photos. I was intimidated at first … being around some of the best photographers in Dallas and all. The guest list included Allison Davis, Amy Karp, Andrea Crosswhite, Catie Ronquillo, Celina Gomez, Jared Rey, Jason Huang, Josh Littrell, Magaly Abbott, Stacy Reeves and Stephen Brown.

If you’re a new to the JA2 Photography blog … this post may throw you off a bit since it doesn’t have anything to do with the wedding and portrait industry.
Beginning in January 2009 I started documenting the construction of Section 32 of the President George Bush Turnpike Eastern Extension. I recently decided to create a separate JA2 Photography blog called Section32. The new site is specifically dedicated to sharing the images I capture from the construction area and all future posts regarding this matter can be viewed there. I will always blog images of major changes and also some of my favorite images. Viewers can also access extensive photo galleries within my proofing area. While viewing a gallery you have the ability to flag multiple photos in order to compare before and after. So if you’re one of the many people interested in this project please visit the new Section 32 blog at section32.ja2photography.com or click on the image below.
