Class of 2013: Rocking those Senior Sessions (Denton/DFW Area Photographer)

It's no lie when I say some of my favorite subjects to photograph are high school seniors.  There is just an energy about them.  The excitement, anticipation and sense of nostalgia too is evident when I meet with them.  They are closing one chapter and embarking on a new one in their lives. 


Caitlin was so much fun to work with.  When her mom first contacted me, we had planned to break her session into two meetings, one early in her Senior Year and one later after she got her cap and gown.  This is a great option for clients that want to get their senior stuff ordered early, but don't want to miss out on those more traditional cap/gown portraits as well.


Now I'll be the first to admit, girls like getting their pictures taken more than guys do.  It's just a fact.  Guys just don't like all the fuss, the haircut, the changing outfits and the posing.  I feel for you guys, I truly do.  But moms love to see their little men all dressed up and smiling for the camera.  Just accept it.  And you are about to venture out into the world and choose when and how you do stuff from now on, no one to tell you what to wear (except your boss someday) or how to cut your hair, or even to nag you about your gas tank level or if you have eaten breakfast.  Let mom have the last opportunity to be mom and capture you as the boy, turned man, that she helped raise.

Grayson was a great sport at this.  He managed to keep his eye-rolling and brooding sighs to a minimum as his mom joked and cajoled him into smiling and showing us that handsome dimple. 




 
Congrats 2013 Seniors, Caitlin and Grayson!  It was a joy to be your Senior Portrait Photographer.  Good luck to both of you as you venture towards independence and knowledge.  I know you will both do GREAT!

Alex + Chase Engagement Session by Denton County Photographer

Engagement Sessions may be my favorite thing to do.  And meeting with a new couple is always exciting.  It was a ridiculously windy day, and meeting in the middle of the Las Colinas Canals didn't help.  This gorgeous couple completely rocked their session however and I was left spellbound by the love that exudes from them both.  


 Alex is the niece of another client and dear friend, and I could tell right away she inherited her aunt's sweet spirit.  I enjoyed my time with her and even had fun helping her tease Chase to get some genuine smiles out of him (we all know how much guys hate this whole picture-taking thing). 

  

And did you see that ring?  Absolutely beautiful.  When I told Alex, "He did good!", she just beamed at me, looked at Chase, smiled and said, "Yes.  He did."   Sigh.  Isn't love sweet?





 Congratulations Alex and Chase.  You are a lovely couple, both inside and out.  It was a pleasure and a joy meeting you and capturing this special time in your life together.  Enjoy the journey towards marriage and beyond.  Wishing you many blessings.

Finally --- after many requests
I am launching my first Photography Workshop & Photo Walk

*click on the image below to see it larger*

WHOOPS - the author of "Understanding Exposure" is Brian Peterson (the original flyer above says Scott Kelby... I should not make flyers at 2 a.m. when my brain is asleep). My apologies.

Photo 101 by Lucky Star Designs & Photography is for ANYONE who has a Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera and wants to learn how to shoot with more confidence and creative control. Nikon, Sony, Canon, etc. owners are all accepted.

This is a hands-on workshop with a small group (2-5 participatns at a time), includes live shooting demonstrations & plenty of time for questions. You will learn: camera concepts (creative control of aperture and shutter speed), f stops & controlling depth of field (the best reason to own a DSLR), exposure modes (PASM, how to get off auto), metering modes (how does your camera decide on an exposure? When should you take over?), focusing modes (how to keep your camera locked onto your subject), camera menus (ISO, white balance and some other settings), resolution (quality, JPG, RAW, TIFF), support/stability (tripods, stance, leaning & breathing), shooting people (working with your subject and the importance of background). We will have an assignment at the end of the workshop to shoot a casual portrait assignment (this will include an assignment review to reveal surprises and near-misses.)

Baby M is thier first child and she is going to be one very treasured and spoiled princess. With these awesome parents, how could she not? Thanks again Damian and Illian for letting me capture two very special moments in your life. I am looking forward to seeing your sweet daughter grow!
