Chelsea

Look at this girl! She is a student at Cooper High School and knows how to work the camera. She is smart and funny and an all around cool chick. Here are a few of my favorites...

Allie

Here are a few pictures of Allie. What a doll! She is a junior at Ralls High School and quite the model. Here are a few of my favorites...

Amanda's Bridals

These were so fun! Amanda and Trenton were married in October, but as you all know I don't post bridals before the wedding. They were married in Jones AT&T Stadium so it was only natural that her bridals were there as well.

It turns out that I completely forgot to post them so, here are a few of my favorites!

Griesdorn Family

What a great family!! We all went down to the river and had a blast. They are obviously some big Tech fans, and their daughter even works on campus... playing with Legos! Here are some of my favorite shots...

Check out this Hot Spot in Lubbock

Filigree Clothing Store is located in Lubbock at 98th and Quaker across from the new Market Street. They needed some images of their store and when I finished, I almost left with everything in there! It is adorable, so go check it out. For now, here are a few of my images.

Lola and Sabrina

I took this beautiful mother and daughter to the clearing and the river and had a wonderful time. Lola is an elementary school teacher, and Sabrina is a high school student (but I think she could be a very successful model!)

Those were a few of the shots I like the most, stay tuned for their video...

South Plains Professional Photographers Association

Monday was the March meeting of SPPPA. Bill Weaks came to talk to us. He has been photographing forever so he knows a lot of stuff. Anyway, we have a print competition every month and I decided to enter. Congratulations Jon and Dinah, the print of you two in the sunflower field won 3rd! I am so excited because Mr. Weaks was the judge and he really knows what he is talking about. Here is the picture of all the winners. To check out the great photographers in town, visit www.spppa.com. If you are a photographer anywhere on the South Plains or in West Texas, come join our group!

The images on today's blog are courteously of Val Tharp.

Going to the Chapel...

Do you deserve a free wedding? Submit an essay explaining why I should take your wedding photos free of charge.

Yes, that is right. I give away two weddings every year. I just think of it as my gift to the couple.

Your date cannot conflict with a current wedding that is already booked. I welcome out of town weddings; all you have to do is pay for the travel expense. Entries must be received on or before June 1, 2007. The free wedding photography includes labor only, however, you will have my services all day long. This contest is not valid for weddings that I have already booked.
