Massie Wedding // The Wynden in Houston

Push play, and enjoy the view.

Since the wedding was so close to Halloween, Lindsey decided to prank Stew on their First Look. I loved it!
And now for the real beauty.

I felt honored to be the photographer of this Wynden Wedding in Houston. Agh! I just can’t get over how good of a feeling I had walking away at the end of the night. I could have stayed there in that moment with them forever, snapping away, taking in the air of so much energy and passion. Get ready for deep here but… it made me feel happy to be alive. To see a bond …

Engagement Shoot on Westheimer // Houston Photographer

I had the opportunity to photograph the energy between a recently engaged pair and had been wanting to shoot in a different area of town, Houston-town that is. So, after a recent shoot down this way for my Cinemagraphs post [with the beautiful Jacqueline Wallace, who by the way styled the perfect outfit that Dejtia is wearing in this post, jewelry and all!], I decided to stroll down Westheimer to see what caught my eye. You can do a lot with a little bit of background, and I love eclectic places, and things. At least that is my thought process because my shots are all …

Weston Urban / San Antonio / The Rand / Photo – Web Design

Weston Urban is a client I was also able to mix my photography and web design on. These guys called me up, said they needed a website and when we rounded the corner of the conversation to talk about content, everyone grew silent. This is nothing new in our industry. No one knows where to start, or end for that matter. It’s overwhelming, trying to put down a company’s “-esque” onto a blank slate. Try it sometime. We finally came out on the other side and realized that these guys honestly didn’t need a novel of content to tell their story. This is when …

Cupcakes Wars Contender // Food Network // Rise Cupcakes

Two months ago, I had the incredible experience to run an entire overhaul that included photography, cinema, and web design for a local cupcake // cake bakery in Friendswood, just outside of Houston. Being one of the more complicated projects I’ve had the past few months, I am quite happy to say that it went down as one of the smoothest projects. Brittany Todd is a hell of a businesswoman over there at Rise Cupcakes. She knows what she wants, what she doesn’t, and it makes for the only thing that stands in our way to complete a client’s project; decisions. So it all started …

Designing a User Interface for SkillGigs

Since March, I have been working with a company called SkillGigs. It started on Dribbble, that inquiry came in, you know the kind that builds your anticipation the further you read. Then suddenly you burst into a parade around the house so happy to see an energetic project. Bottoms up on the Dr. Pepper you’ve been drinking to get through the day and fists in the air. You sit back down at the computer and give the company props for knowing what Dribbble is, and even better, how to find you on it. At least that’s how it was for me. The first meeting couldn’t …

C-Suite Jeffrey Hayzlett Bloomberg Television // Watch Party

Meet Jeffrey Hayzlett. If you don’t know this incredible individual, look into Kodak, turn on Bloomberg, or familiarize yourself with some of the best C-Level staples of our time. His name might pop up somewhere.  I met Jeffrey through the one and only, Larry Vaughn a couple of years ago. Both of these people have been amazing mentors to me, whether they knew it or not. For those of you new to my own blog, run. No no, I’m kidding. I split my profession between photography and design… user interface and digital mostly. However, I come from a 4 year tenure of designing and marketing …

As Close to Grandpa As I Can Get // Traveling to New York

For those of you that don’t know, you can take over the world with a face like this. If you haven’t already met Susan from my earlier post, meet her now. She is my good friend who was up for a random trip to New York. I had some photography work here, so we decided to get out of Texas for a few days before. What you may not know is that Susan is sitting on the steps to a very important history mark in my own life. She supported me as I went to pay homage to West 14th and 7th Avenue, where my …
