Beautiful Texas Bluebonnets – Independence, TX
My first official blog post on our photography blog..
This past weekend, Kelly and I were able to go out and “flock through the bluebonnets” so to speak. Actually, we had a photo shoot in Independence, Texas and bluebonnets happened to be the theme, hence the pictures below. Before we did the shoot, we had to get ourselves into the bluebonnet spirit, and what better way to do that than attend the 2008 Bluebonnet festival in Chappell Hill , Texas!!!! The only problem was once we got into the festival, we saw nothing that had to do with bluebonnets. We expected to see demonstrations like “how to make bluebonnet center pieces” or “how to make Bluebonnet Jelly”, but to no avail. It was mainly people selling crafts, turkey legs and Landshark beer which I did fork over 3 bucks to enjoy.
After we left the 2008 Bluebonnet festival, we met up with Tim, Maggie, and their 3 girls in Independence, Texas. We were told there were a lot of bluebonnets in this small town. We finally found Old Baylor Park and several patches of bluebonnets within the park. Here are some of our favorite pictures. The first one was taken by me (Not Kelly).

Brittany and Jackie, Pageant Headshots – Houston, TX
I met with a couple today whom I adored! They are both very sweet and easy going (not to mention, a cute couple making my job even easier)!
I started off the meeting at a downtown Starbucks by getting too excited and spinning my laptop around, spilling hot coffee all down my dear Chad’s jeans. Sadly, I felt worse that I didn’t have the prints or the album that I ordered because they are both arriving later this week. (Chad’s a tough boy, he can take it.) 
After that meeting, since we were downtown, I went to check out the Kim Son since I will be shooting a reception there in December. While I was down there, ironically, I got a call from the December bride’s sister (who hired me to take their Christmas card photos in the fall) whose sister-in-law and niece were in town. Her niece needed head shots for a Vietnamese pageant this summer. Chad and I headed over to the west side and took some awesome photos at Terry Hershey Park.
Below are a few of my favorites of Brittany and her mom, Jackie, from our shoot.
This is where Brittany gets her good looks!
My favorite!
Now, if you ask me, Brittany has this thing in the bag! We have our 1st place winner right here! She is so adorable!
I can’t wait for the traditional Vietnamese dress and swimsuit shoots!
