I won't be updating for a few days since I'll be out of town at a friends wedding for the rest of the weekend. I'm excited because I've been trying to find time to get to Barton Creek for the last few years. If I know my friend Chad, the wedding will be beautiful. What will I wear?!
Since the wedding is on Sunday, we decided to take a few more days out of town and go to the Blair House Inn. I don't know how my wife found this place but it looks like it could be fun. It will be a new experience for us since we have never really done anything like it before. I'm looking forward to a few fun days with a lot of opportunities for great photographs.
Our daughter is almost 2 now and this will be the first time we have had time alone out of town.

Quotes...
“To take photographs means to recognize - simultaneously and within a fraction of a second - both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning. It is putting one’s head, one’s eye and one’s heart on the same axis.” -Henri Cartier Bresson
Some of the tools I use to bring my head, eye and heart into one before taking the shot here:

What to Wear
It's the night before your shoot and you know you want to look amazing but you just can't find exactly what to wear. I'll do my best to try and tell you what NOT to wear.
- no solid white shirts
- no plaids/thick stripes
- tube tops are really not that cute in pictures...I won't go into detail, just take my word for it
- I'd love to take photos in different outfits to go along with the different looks but please don't bring all formal wear/dresses. Make it a good mix of jeans, casual, and a dress.
- if this is an engagement session you don't have to match exactly, just be in the same color scheme.
- Some cool ideas that have worked for other clients - cool jeans, casual shoes, a collared shirt underneath with a loose tie for guys. For girls, a fun jacket with colorful jewelry with a neat pattern underneath, cool jeans and high heels add a very nice touch also. Since I do sessions in different parts of Houston remember to have your outfits look like they could go with the setting i.e. If we are meeting in Downtown or Mid town coordinate like you are going out for brunch or a night on the town. If we are meeting in Herman Park or the medical center coordinate your outfits like you are going to a concert at Miller outdoor Theatre.
Bring PROPS!!! If you play an instrument, have a favorite hat/hoodie, skateboards, favorite couch or chair, anything will make your session more unique.
