Shot Guns and Golf

Johnson Family

Matthew's Family

Matthew Johnson is a Texas City High School Senior that loves to hunt and play golf.  We created some great shots of him with his gear in the studio and then took his BIG truck to the beach and photographed him sitting on the roof of it!  And then Mom’s Mercedes had to get in on the action too, so we photographed it on the beach too!  To top it all off we added the rest of the family to the photograph at the beach!  What a wonderful memory everyone will have now that they have a gorgeous picture to remind them of how special his senior year was.

We are in our busy, busy high school senior mode!  And we love it!  I get to be really creative when photographing high school seniors.  I was trained, at the Art Institute of  Houston  as a commercial photographer- essentially photographing widgets!  This is so much better.   I love my job!

If You Are Waiting For A Sign…

This is it!  

Many of us, myself included, are waiting, waiting and waiting before we act on something we really want.  This could be a new career, a new house, going back to school,  starting your own business or anything that is really important to you.  Something you think is really out of reach. Something you think you’ll  need the “planets” to line up just perfectly for this thing to ever  happen.

I just had the joy of hearing Gail Blanke speak at the Women’s Business Summit sponsored by American Express.   She is an arthur of three great books, was Vice President of Avon for over 20 twenty years and has been featured on Oprah.

And she finally convinced me to stop waiting and just do it already!

So if you are waiting for a sign…… this is it!    Take this as your sign to go for it!! 

She has a great book called “Between Trapezes” that talks about the moments that a trapeze artist is in thin air between one trapeze and the next.  I never really thought about it before.  But they just let go and know that the bar will be there when they need it to be.

Many of us stay far too long swinging and hanging on to our same old trapeze bar.   I know that I have.  

So this is to all of the trapeze bar hangers on….. let go and reach for the next bar!   If you think about it ….you did it when you started driving.  When you graduated from high school. When you got married.  There have many times you have just let go and reached for the next thing – you just don’t realize it.

Barkus & Meoux Parade

It’s been a few years since I have attended this parade and wow has it changed!  The customes are ingenious and amazing.  And there was a variety of animals, from dogs to baby goats to rabbits and horses!   I set up shop and took photos of the contestents for the costume contest and had a blast.  Of course the parade is sponsored by the Galveston Island Humane Shelter.  They did a great job organizing this event!  I believe it is one of their main fundraisers for the year.  We plan to do our part by giving a donation back for each photo order.  Here are a few photos from the event.  Let me know what you think……
