Houston Portrait and Wedding Photography

Chubby Chubby Cheeks!

You just want to pinch those cheeks!! My college friends called me to photograph their family and especially this cute little newborn. How could I resist? The brothers wanted in on the action and even dragged out musical instruments and basically put on a concert for us, all with the intention of getting baby sister’s attention so she would look towards the camera. Hilarious!

On a separate day, we did a second session as a gift to her family – the four generations. Sadly, there were no impromptu outdoor concerts during this second session.

365 – 2009

1. While out in the neighborhoods of Barranquilla, I sometimes see people that I want to photograph. I really enjoyed the colors in this image.

2. Our team spent a day with the medical team and I came upon this moment. Several different doctors were called in to help this lady with her foot and it was very painful for her to endure.

3. While walking through the house after lunch, I saw two of my team members discussing the sharing of their testimony. In case you can’t tell, I really enjoy lighting.

4. Meet Deiner! He’s the little guy that I sponsor through Compassion International. I’ll blog more about it later.

5. I spent a few days at my cousins’s house and had so much fun chasing around with their two dogs, Martina and Leloo. Aren’t they just beautiful?

6. Martina peeks over the gate to the kitchen. She’s a wise old soul.

7. This is my oldest aunt on my mom’s side with her great-grandson.

365 – 2009

1. I need to get photographs of the products I offer. This is a custom mounted story board from a newborn session.

2. A photograph of a sample album.

3. If you know me, you know I love to bake. Chocolate!

4. When I went to shoot Heather and Brandon’s wedding in Dayton, I was given this cute little tin full of red M&Ms – how sweet!! They remembered that I really like M&Ms. And I keep this little tin on my desk right here next to my laptop.

5. My first day of my 2009 Barranquilla trip – it poured down rain on our way to the hotel and flooded the street.

6. Day 2 in Barranquilla – each team went to a different church for Sunday morning.

7. This little guy is a cutie! If you saw him in person, you would NOT believe he’s only 4 years old!

Barranquilla - If the photo of the flooded street was in November then you were pretty lucky to see it as you must have just caught the last of the rain of the wet season! They are working on putting a drainage system under the city – until then the arroyos are quite spectacular when there is very heavy rain particularly around (going down!) Calle 84. They are very dangerous – but I will miss them once they have the drains in.
What type of camera are you using in your travels in Colombia? I just take a small pocket size one – but feel tempted to take a more expensive 2500$ (inc. lens) with me but although very safe, I don’t want to attract too much attention!! If you take a “big” camera (bag) have you ever had any problems – I know you are not spending your time with the tourists in the North!
Keep up the good work you are doing there (plus I am sure it must be fun as well as gratifying)
