Sunday, May 24th, 2009

I’ve been a busy bee lately, shooting and editing a ton.  I have so much to show you guys but just not quite enough time to get it all blogged!!  I promise tons of new blog posts coming very very soon!  For now, here’s a little teaser from Brittany & JR Baker’s wedding!  Hopefully this will tide you over.

Live at the Casa De Blue

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

It is always such a joy as a musician to play at a venue that has great sound, great accommodations, and a great staff.  House of Blues Dallas is by far one of the top 2 concert venue in Dallas, TX.  The band I play in, Sleeperstar, played a show there last week accompanied by 3 amazing other bands, Abraham, Jillian Edwards, and Stars Go Dim.  I sometimes photo at these shows, sometimes not.  This show was a sometimes.  I found myself following Jillian around during her warm up in the stairwell with her band mate, Kelsy, because they are pretty much amazing and I am drawn to wherever their music is being played….truly amazing.  I really enjoy photoing live concerts and have been extremely inspired lately by my friend Andrew Shepherd.  He is pretty much the best live performance photographer I have ever seen (among other styles)…no lie.  Please don’t look at his live photos first and then mine….it’s not fair to me.

#1 Nephew

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

I got to go have some great family time last week, which happens far too rarely as of late.  My parents, sister, brother-in-law, and if you’ve been following my work for any amount of time you’re sure to know that I have a nephew, Bryce.  It was a sweet time of talking, hanging, and eating.  My mother is pretty much the BEST cook ever.  She shows her love by feeding you until you have to literally roll away from the table to the couch, where you then pass out and slip deep into a food coma.  Glorious.  Bryce is 2.5 years old now and is growing up so fast.  He’s a little terror right now, but so funny and smart.  He’s the #1 nephew in the world……for a few more months anyway.  Then there will be an entirely NEW nephew….a baby brother for Bryce named Jackson Houser!!  Then there will be two #1 nephews.  Jackson is making his big debut at the end of this post.  Until then, enjoy the many faces of Bryce at 2.5 yrs:

(When my sister knows I’m coming over she always puts Bryce in his StarWars tshirt for me…because I am a nerd…and a fanatic.  Thanks Lindsey.)
