Thumbnail image for Where is the best place to store the wedding rings BEFORE the wedding

I was surfing Facebook today, and came across this photo one of my clients took – They are getting married later this year in Texas (where else of course).
Why trust a bank, when you have a safe place at home to store your valuables!

Cicadas – a big green bug!

Thumbnail image for Cicadas – a big green bug!

Yesterday morning, I was pulling a few weeds in my garden, and looked over to see a cicada sitting on my basil. I guess they like pesto, too.
These are medium sized bugs that make a lot of noise at night – a sort of buzzing. They are not crickets, nor are they locust. [...]

Weddings at Green Pastures

Thumbnail image for Weddings at Green Pastures

Normally at weddings I don’t get a lot of time to sit relax. I’m just too busy snapping pictures of your guests, moments, and details. Then when I am able to rest my barking dogs it’s usually in a dark closet, or behind the smokers at the wedding, or somewhere else just [...]

Ok, so I’ve made a bunch of promises to a lot of people. I told my friends from the open house at Vista West Ranch that some shots would be up on my blog shortly, as I did with the ISES Austin, NEAWP, NACE summer games group. And then I shot a great wedding last [...]

Time Lapse Wedding

I had the opportunity to photograph a unique wedding in Austin yesterday. This time lapse movie is from a remote camera I set-up in the corner of the church. I try to be as invisible as possible, in fact, you can’t really even see me until the formals. Did you catch my [...]

… was how the insert read.
Every time a new the Thing arrives, I get excited.  They always arrive in a simple brown cardboard box that’s sized to fit the contents – Triangle, tube, rectangle, and clearly stamped with red ink.  There’s no mistaking the branding.  I don’t really track when they will be coming, which [...]

Is the Gardening Store Smith & Hawken Closing?

Garden Retailer Smith & Hawken is Shutting down

Sadly, yes.
As I was on my way to Whole Foods this weekend to pick up some fresh veggies and a  ciabatta for dinner, I passed our local Smith & Hawken store.  On the side of the building was one of those “everything must go” signs offering 20-30% off.  At first I just thought it was for [...]

Thumbnail image for 4th of July in Balcones Woods

When we moved into the BW neighborhood, all our neighbors told us there are two really great things that happen here – the pool is the place to meet new people (I can’t wait until it opens for the summer after the extensive remodel), and that the 4th of July parade is something that can’t [...]

I just got back a bunch of film and scans from my local lab, Holland Imaging, and couldn’t wait to share them with you.  This last weekend I had a couple of weddings, I don’t usually schedule multiple events on the same weekend, especially when it’s so hot, but both brides were so nice, and [...]
