Hamilton Pool in Austin :: Travel Adventures

While long overdue, I remembered these photos I took at Hamilton Park on a beautiful day in Austin, just after Thanksgiving. My optimistic friend Brad had called wanting to check out the terrain. Excited for a good experience, I hopped in the car to make the trip. I had been here once before, though not quite the same experience.

Villa Rinata :: Geiman Wedding in Houston

I had the pleasure of photographing a super pretty wedding at the Villa Rinata in December. Located in the Houston Galleria area, it is one of the prettier venues inside the city.

This beautiful couple with wonderful taste made the day feel so fresh and relaxing. Congrats Lance and Jess!

Shiner please,” feeling defeated that I still couldn’t hang with the big boys.

So there I was, in the Kroger grocery store and …

New Orleans Weather in HDR :: Photo Editing

I went to New Orleans recently, in part, to show a new friend [Kim] around who had never been. Midway through our drive, the clouds thickened and the weather threatened to storm. “Rain on, we’ll cry together“, I thought. Once we parked, we had just enough time to unload the car and get into the hotel before the first round of cold winded rain whistled through the streets. It didn’t last long that first night and we were able to enjoy the blur of bars, drinks, and beaded missiles that had us maneuvering down Bourbon Street as if we were in the Matrix. I thought …
