Time has flown by since Tanya and Victors wedding last year in Jamaica.  I can't believe it's already been a year!  I sent out my usual "congrats on a year" email and wanted to know if they wanted to get together for a complimentary anniversary session.  Ironically enough, right before we moved to Houston, they moved to Houston from DC! Now we are literally an hour away from them....so crazy! I've gotten to be such good friends with Tanya and Victor, and I am definitely excited to be a part of their life.

Here are a few of my favorites from last nights session. 

We started off at this frikking awesome waterfall feature right in the heart of Downtown Houston.  It's right by the Galleria, and there we're a ton of people there taking pictures!

Brandi and Max we're my assistants.
 
 
After hanging out at the galleria we headed over to Rice University for a few shots.  I'm shooting a wedding there next weekend so it was cool to see how the place was laid out.
 
 
Tanya...still looking fly!

NEW SITE AND PROMO REEL!
April 29th, 2009

A few weeks ago I posted up a video I had put together that highlighted a real destination wedding and engagement that I had recently shot.  Well...the video just wasn't good enough for me, so I brought in the big guns...Paul Rogers and Photographers Reel.  Video on your website is so important these days, and I simply didn't want anything less than the best! Knowing that Paul's past clients include Jasmine Star and David Jay, I figured he'd take good care of putting together a sick promo reel for us!  This is sweet check it out!

If you dig the promo then contact Paul to get one!  You don't even need to hire a professional video guy.  Just have your assistant hold a video camera on your while you shoot!  Send that in to Paul and he'll put together a sweet video like mine!  What's even cooler is that I have a promo code for you guys to get a discount on your video!  Use the promo code PhotoReel_SMD to get 15% off your next promo reel!  Awesome!Late last night we also launched V2 of our new website!  I added a few new "me" slides so be sure to stop by and chec k it out!  We use Showit Sites because it's frikking awesome and I can just change the look and feel of my site at anytime for free!  It rocks! Totally recommended if your hunting for a new site! 

Check out the new site!

HE IS IN CHARGE.
April 18th, 2009

When I started my business over 2 years ago, I always gave a second thought as to what type of posts I wanted to appear on this blog.  I didn't want them to be to personal in fear of driving away clients.  2 years later I realize that it's my personality that attracts clients, and if there are clients that are disturbed or turned away at the mention of God..then so be it.  I probably would not click with those clients to begin with.

Over the last few years though, I've felt like God is trying to reach out to me. I do want to serve Him, I do want to worship Him, but some of my habits in life make me feel like a martyr in doing so. Most of my drive to want to start going to church is for Max (and myself of course).  Brandi and I both want Max to grow up going to church, and to let God lead his life.

If I only would have learned that YEARS ago.  I ALWAYS used to worry....even up until like a year ago.  I'm a full time entreprenuer.  How was I too pay the bills when there was no work? I made a conscience decision to just "let go," and let Him control my life.  Everytime I start to wonder why something isn't working out, or why I didn't get that publication in the magazine, or why the Sandal's deal didn't work out, I make myself remember that God is leading my life. Those things obviously didn't happen for a reason (albeit I have yet to discover it)  

For the first time ever, I am proud to say that God is not only IN my life, but IN control of it....and man does it feel good!
