Hey people! Meet Clear Lake High School senior Kyle. He’s an active guy who likes to do things like fish and kayak when he isn’t busy with his duties as trainer/manager of the volleyball team. After graduating he’s planning to go off to Tulane in Louisiana. Kyle and his family were awesome to work with and we even got his brother and sister to get into a few shots. Good luck next year Kyle!!.jpg "HoustonSeniorPortraitsKyle 008")

Justin had the great idea to get on the bus to ride back to the car and snap a few photos while we were riding. It was late, no one else was on the bus. Jonathan snapped a few photos of them alone on the bus. At the next stop the driver yells out, ” you better take that photo quick this bus is about to fill up.” She was right!

So fun looking back at the photos from the wedding!! That was definitely our favorite “public display of affection” as well, haha!! I’m so happy you got that shot of my dad, too. We were still waiting to be introduced so I wouldn’t have gotten to see all the fun without you guys! YOU ARE THE BEST =)
yay… Ethan made it to the 2011 favorites!!! Awesome job you guys!!!
Some of these guys are no strangers to the blog. We shot Kristin’s family last year. For this shoot we got three generations of the other side of the family together. They admitted that they don’t get the opportunity to meet up very often so I was happy to take these photos for them. Thank you guys!
I was lucky to get together with Catie and her family last weekend here in Houston. You see, Catie is friends with the super-cute Gabriel. She wasn’t quite sure what to make of me and my cameras and lenses at first (thus the first picture) but then we discovered the magic of a good ol’ fashion “high-five” and the rest was history. Now we are buds. Big thanks to Catie, her parents and especially Samson and Lilly the dogs for a great shoot! –jonathan
[...] will be the last post before Christmas, and it’s a good one! I’m sure you remember sweet Catie and her family from last year. Well, soon enough they will be a family of 4 (plus Samson and Lilly [...]
I had the pleasure of getting together with Noah and his family last weekend in Sugar Land. It was a brisk morning (OK, it was cold) but after shooting and playing for a little while we all warmed up and had a great time. It was a pleasure to capture these photographs for the family. See y’all next time! –jonathan
[...] again y’all. I know you guys recognize Noah and his parents from the last shoot we did before Christmas. Well Noah is almost 2 now! We all got together the other day and shot these fun photographs. [...]
You have captured many of Kyle’s expressions that reflect both his serious and humurous sides. He is such a unique personality that is not often captured in photographs…And a great job with those other two beautiful clowns, too! So much like they all really are. I am sure that I will enjoy displaying these pictures and showing off my grandchildrent for a lot of years.
