Dreaming of Spring

The time has come once again, (ALREADY??!) to start thinking of spring and new spring portraits to boot!  I hope these images give you a little spring fever. Please feel free to share, pin, & tweet my work but please do not copy, print, edit, or steal them, it's SO not nice! Model: Melissa Black MUAH: Melissa Bratton of Salon Salon Corpus Christi, TX.

One Summer Day

  

I'll be the first to admit (like it's not ridiculously obvious), it's H-O-T (hot) out there! (Boy, is it ever hot out there, ugh.) Summer has been brutal this year! (BRUTAL, did I say that already?) I am also a firm believer that the heat of a Texas summer is so traumatizing that we block it from our minds the second the temps drop below 90. This in turn makes the next years Summer heat feel even worse, thus turning our brains to mush for the next 9 months (okay, maybe summer isn't quite 9 months long). In fact, I personally dislike, hate, ok, despise Texas Summers so much I prefer to pretend that they doesn't exist, especially toward the end, you know when everybody else is getting all those cold fronts  and the stores are packing in all the Fall merchandise. Ok, Ok, enough opining about the nasty (last one promise) Texas Summers. I really DO love Texas! I even love saying "I love Texas"! Ok, everybody together now..."I ...(too much?)

The problem, I have come to realize, is that I spend so much time fretting over "the dog days," that I seemingly miss out on the beauty of it. (What an ungrateful wretch I have been!) You'd probably be right if you assumed that my days of 'Summer Loathing' (Did ya get that Grease reference? Yup, BIG fan) are anything but far behind me, but I would like to give a BIG 'shout out' to my wonderful son, without whom I would have never stopped to smell the proverbial roses! There is a certain innocence most of us tend to leave somewhere in our childhood. So for him, I will try to remember Summer a little more like this and I will preserve as many of those memories for him as I possibly can.  (Oooooo, she's startin' to get all sappy now...CUT).

 

  

  

Enjoy your Labor Day Weekend!



Practice what you preach...A bit about trendy photography and those who promote it.

This is my very first blog post, ever...EVER. Let's see how it goes.

This morning I find myself more than slightly perturbed. I will not bore you with all of the miniscule details that have brought me to this place but rather enlighten you with a tale from the very bowels of "Rock N' Roll" and sprinkle it with some loverly pictorials...um, I don't know why I said that *rolls eyes at self*, loverly? pictorials? honestly, how utterly hipster of me.

Hey Ho, Let's Go. Ok, so back to the point (please forgive me, I am a rambler), I must start by saying I absolutely LOVE photography, quirky people, vintage clothing, & DIY anything, especially DIY weddings. That said, here is my story:

I have .... [some snarkiness may (and by may I mean was) removed in an effort to save face remember to always be kind to others ;) ...

Still around?  Sweet. I am finally getting closer to the real point AND some purty peektures!

Here is what a real Rock N' Roll wedding (no crappy photoshop filters, no crybabies, & no girly pants on burly men) looks like:
